The ill health of the I .Minister last year charged with making a pro-' position for that arrangement did not permit him to remain at Pt. I'ctersburg; aud the at- j tention of that Govcnunc'it, during the v. hol j ! of tho period since his departure, having been j occupied by the war in which it was engaged,! we have been assured that nothing could have been elFectcd by liis presence.

sufficiently appreciated. V hile our commerce tinds an entrance into the South of Germany by means ol this Treaty, those we have lortued v. ith the llauseatie Towna and Prussia, and others now in the negotiation, will oiv.-n that
