GRRMANY.—The Prussian and Austrian Plenipotentiaries have again returned to Dresden, and with the other Plenipotentiaries have again been conferring ; but there is not any reliable information that the least advance is made towards accommodation between the struggling diplo- macies.

The Berlin papers declare that the position of Manteuffel is so person- ally unpleasant, from the displeasure of the King at his unnational policy, that his retirement is only suspended by the difficulty of replacing him without a downright breach with Austria.

A Brussels paper states that the Hanoverian Cabinet is at variance with the Second Chamber on the constitutional question, whether or not the latter has power to refuse the taxes. The Chamber insists on reducing salaries, or stopping the supplies ; and the Cabinet is said to be deter- mined to challenge this right, and to dissolve the Chamber rather than yield.

BRANCE.—M. Parrot has failed in the task of forming a permanent, Ministry. It is said that he declared in favour of " a derogation from the law of the 31st May,"—that is to say, in favour of somewhat reextending the franchise ; and this policy being flatly rejected by M. Fould and M. Baroche, it was impossible that they should unite in a Ministry. A Ministry embracing those influential members of the minority who voted against the vote that upset the late Ministry being the only possible one with President Napoleon, the situation of crisis is thus indefinitely pro- longed.
