German Confederation commenced in Berlin.
Prussia. yesterday. The King of Prussia
that the Government would introduce several
new measures TO strengthen the Union at hone
and abroad. While enumerating various trea-
ues which had been made with foreign DOW
ers, he particularly alluded to the important
one Just concluded with the United States
which he said was designed to define and reg
ulate nationality and the national obligations

closely together nations already allied by strong
bonds of commerce and race. The King con-

emphasis, his confidence in the permanence OF
the peace which now pre- walls among the ma

The ABYssINIAN CAMPAIGN.-Adyices from
Abyssinia continue favorable. At last accounts
nearly all the expedition had reached the high
table lands. Though the roads We're found to
be very bad, the advance had arrived in the
vicinity of Lake Ashaugee, and had met with
no opposition from the natives. The country
yielded little to support the army excepting
meal and flour; but great quantity OF stores
were accumulated at Antalo. A report had
been received from the interior that Theodorus
had entrenced himself with his whole army at
the Talanta Plateau. The report came through
the natives. II is impossible to say whether il
