INTERESTING FOREIGN NEWS. were Our German Correspondence. ‘Dagspen, Jan. 28, 1351. View of German Affairs by an American— Posi- tion and Prespects of that part of Europe, §c- The contradictory articles which the English ‘papers bring on the German affairs, may render, perhaps, a communication of an American on the spot, agreeable to you. ‘That part of Germany which | passed on my | route to here, via Aix la Chapelle and Frankford, ! fourd tranquil, but a tranquillity which I do not know better how to explain than by comparing it to ‘a calm in a sultry summer day, preceding a violent ‘storm. With the exception of noblemen and the Jords of the purse at Franuford, | invariably found the people of a depressed and serious disposition. ‘They consider themseives betrayed by the princes ‘and the aristocracy, and express their conviction yhat soon r or later a new revolution will break out, which then would not spare a single one of the present dynasties, of which it is true it might be said *‘that whom the gods intend to destroy, they ‘first make mad.” A The Germans pursue a passive resistance, which is even cained so fer that they keep away from ever demonstration. I happened to be, on the I inet , at Aix Ja Chapelle, where the com- memoration of the crowning of the first King of Prussia, one-hundred and fifty years ago, had been ordered to be celebrated by a high mass at the cathedral, but not one of the people was present; the attendance consisted solely of public tunction- aries, who were ia tull dress. They were, how- ever, all outehone by the amy appointed consul of the United States for Aix la Chapelle, a Mr. Bates, of Massachusetts, who appeared ia such a splendid and dazzling new uoilorm that he at- tracted more of the atiention of the attendants than the bishop who oificia:ed. Asan American felt mortified that our consul should make such a fool of himself—that he shouid participate officially, in full dress, in such an idle pageantry. Such acts degrade us in the eyes of foreigners, and are apt to confirm those reports which represent us asa nation in which title, rank, and a handsome uniform, are everything. However, to return to the main point, the Ger- man aflaire, you can set down as a fact, that of one hundred of the Gesmans, not more than ene ap- proves of the course which the German govern- ments at present pursue. The other ninety-nine have no ccatidence in their princes, nor do they believe that any thing good can or will result out of the conferences here. The parties to these conferences, the ostensible object of which is the revision of the confederacy of 1815, are in fact mere satellites, seat by their masters, to trazs!ate and edit the commands of the Ruesian Czar, who is the only regent of Germany, and of whoin all the German rulers, beginning with the Emperor of Austria and ending with the Landgrave ot Hamburg, are mere vassals. He has given his commands how Germany shall in future be organized, to save at least the appearance of their sovereignty. That is the only object of the conference. The kings of Bavaria, Wurtemberg, Saxony, and Hauover, had bargained their submission for an aggrandizement, by way of mediating the minor States. To this Rusma has, howeve’, not agreed. The Czar kuows very well that his power over Germany depends on the division of the same. All they could obdtaia of him wes a reduction of the members composing the Executive Board of the Diet, which cousisted, under the old organization, of seventeen members, and is now to have merely eleve; the Emperor of Aus- tria and the five e appointment, each of one, making in all, leaving eleven to the other thirty States; whereas, by the proposed alteration, Austria and Prussia are to have each two members, the four kings each one—making for the emperor and the five kings a total of eight members, leaving to the other th rty States merely three, instead, as heretofore, eleven members. ‘Chat the minor Ger- man States possess greater intelligence, learaing and political iaformation than the larger ones, i fact not to be denied; as also that an intel veople are Kot s0 easily 4 ‘he [Exmperor ot Russia, with the view he eater- tains of the people being born to be slavee, is merely consistent with his principles ia ordering the dis- traachisement of the minor States, which, by the new organization, will merely have to obey. What there d+ ts have to expect may be learned trom the tate ci Hesse, where the people and their authoritities did nothing but adhere to the constitu- tien and the laws; and allhough no crime whatever may proceed to threats towards the Sardinian vel with reference to the exiles, as it 5 pot feng ages towards Turkey and Switzerland. Neither, however, not even the lite Helvetic conted » was awed by euch menaces. We feel assured, beforehend, that Piedmont will mani- fest equal resolution ‘Bur Austrian threats are not alone to be repelled, and Austrian demands refused. It is necessary for Piedmont to be on its guard a Austrian intrigues and Austrian agents. Already has one been expelled the Sar- dinian territory, and there are good grounds for believing that others had a band in promotingthe recent partial <isturbanc-s in Genoa. Durii (nose disturbances, occasioned by some slight col- lisions between a small number of civilians and the not over popular chasseurs, garrisoned in that city, afew unknown individuals went about mysteriously crying out, ‘Down with the constitution.” The of- ficers and men of that corps have indignantly denied that that ery came from their ranks, and that ion is fully borne out by the government, af- ict investigation. The reactionary Italian in the pay of Austria and Naples, take im- mense trouble to prove that it was not the partisans of Prince Schwarzenberg, but of Mazzini, who ut- tered that cry, and thus, oy atiempting to prove too much, those journals lead to the opposite conclu- sion, even if other ones for arriving at it did not abundantly exist. Let Piedmont, therefore, we re- at, be on its ard against Austrian Michiavel- ism whilst repelling Austrian menaces. Now, more than ever, thanks to Papal impertinence, the eyes of Eoglishmen are directed towards ltaly; and it is indee: conaaling for them to find thi till something very like an oasis in that political desert —that *‘ one green spot” being Piedmont. Let its king, mindful of his noble father and Fralecomor, continue to uphold, as he has hitherto done, the, in many ret 18, admirable institutions of his country; let Azeglio, and his colleagues in the cabinet, reat ched to the constitutiov, without resisting some necessary reforms; let him and them still op- pose the pretentions of the court of Rome, and of their own prelates, who, we perceive, are again in- terfering with the government in the education ueetion; let them pureue, with firmness and mo- aeration’ the career of political and social emelio- ration, on which they have worthily and | anieaiiy entered, and they will not only promote the happi- net \d prosperity of their own country, but con- tribute to the regeneration of Italy at large—a nobl- and sublime mission, which neither the pet cee uke of nda shee ea) the vacillating Grand ‘uscany, neither the Austrian puppets of Modear and Parma, nor the political renegade of Rome, are capable or desirous of undertaking or fulfilling. The Fashions for February. {rom Le Follet.} Among the many pretty toilettes that have ap- peared during this week at the fashionable sorrées, our attention has been particularly attracted by a corflure equally novel and distingue. It was com- d of three brown velvet bands, crossing over the ead. These were sprinkled with small diamond stars, and united on each side under a chou, formed of narrow brown velvet, fastened in the middle with a daisy of diamonds. From this chou three ends of velvet deecend, each terminated with a light iy a sprinkled with diamonds. This ele- gant coiffure was accompanied by a robe of pink flowered brocade, with a double skirt, the top one raised on one side by a bouquet of brown and wild white roses. A magnificent berthe ot Venetian point lace was fastened on the front of the body by a bouquet, to match that on the skirt, and atthe waist with a knot, and ends of diamonds. id A very pretty toilette was also made of plain white tulle, with five flounces from the waist to the bottom of the skirt. Each flounce was edged with @ narrow wreath of heartsease and shaded green velvet leaves. Onone side of the skirt the flouaces were raised, endraperie, with five bouquets of hearts- eese of white velvet, encircled with their foliage. body, & la Louis XV., had the front trimmed with ‘The narrow ecroesings of velvet leaves, each extrem- ity having a very small bouquet of heartsease, form- ing email wreaths of flowers acroga the chest, from the waist to the top of the body, and then running round the back at the top. The sleeves were co- vered with five narrow frills to match the skirt.— The coifiure was composed of white heartsease, serpentining round the plait, and fastened under knots of velvet, with very long ends falling behind. A fair lady wore a robe of plain white taffetas, with a double skirt; ton a la Louis XV., trimmed in front with an echelle of white satin ribbon bows. The sk eves, flat ard very short, were only trimmed with three rows of ruckes of satin ribbon. To this simple costume was added a coiffure composed of @ wreath of the leaves of the holyoak, mixed witha profusion of small! easter daisies in diamonds, which sparkled, 6nd were balanced with an indescribable lightness, in the midst of the dark green foilage; it wes narrow in the front, widening over the ban- deaux, and placed a little above the forehead.— This wilette was much admired for its elegance could be atributed to them—aot the least excess having takeu place—sti!l their fate was a doom- ed one by oraerof tre Cair. Their lawfalaess alone was, in the eyes of the Diet, a crime. The Diet ana the elector wanted a rebellion; the latter would have gived his electorate for & mere revolt, no matter how small; but the people would not do them this favor, and forth they were to be punished. The Diet declared, thereture, the electorate in a state of re- bellion (for not having revolted) and ordered its occupation by a federel army, which was accom- panied by a tederal commussary. with the sanc- tion of the jrovost marshal. These troops, in their capacity as federal troops, and by the com- mend of the Austrian counts Rechberg, and now Geinenger, bave conducted themselves in the most shameful and barbarous manner, principally when q ered on jidges und other high fane- i o that anumber of them, in utter de- spair, liaqehed their commissions, although they have mostly Jarge families to support and no means ot dongso Now thesame gentiemen, who, without any Cause, and contrary to every law, and even to the federal acts, brought such a calamity on the brave Heesiane, compose the conference here, and ate (to decide on the fature fate of Ger mony.

Thetwo sides o this are raised by a tuft of wild poppies and blue bells, mixed with Jong gold corn, falling over th atck a little behind the head. A Another coiflure of the same description is com- posed of a résille formed with pink chenille ant beads each side of the résille, raised on each sid - tufts of long leaves of pink chenille, mixe | with light bunches of currants, formed of whit beads. This pretty coiffure was worn with a rob of pink tefletas d’Italie, the over skirt raised o each side and the middle by a chain of pearl nags; terminated at bottom with a knot mixed of leaves of pink velvet. The body 18 open, square in front, and cioesed with lacings of beads. The sleeves are very’short, and covered with bouillonnes of pink tulle, the last of which falls over the arm. We must notice a bord of dark blue velvet; the front is rather narrow and turned a rouad, ul id without @ crown, allowing the beautiful hair to be teen encircled with a plait of velvet gold, ‘ull- ing on one tide over the chest, where it ts termiaat- ed by a bow of blue and gold. Oa the 5 te e of this bord a branch of dark blue volubils, mixed with ht foliage of gold. This coiffure ‘was worn arobe of white brocade, with a light broche in geld. The body was quite plain, with a lace berthe, falling square over the chest, open in front and on each ehoulder over the sleeve, which 1s formed of two gold laces open inside the arm ; this trimming on the sleeve is neither ode not drawn, but placed plain round the arm, tanne made to match the berthe. We must not omit to mention a very prett toilette, composed of white silk tarlatane, wit double skirts; each edged with straw colored silk forming o wreath of corn; the over ekirt h mal detached sheaves of corn, reaching the waist. The body @ fa vestale. Upon the side of the body is a bouquet of flowers, from which escape three light branches of the same flowers, egg over the skirt on one side, as though carelessly blown by the wiad. A wreath of the saine flowers completes the toilette. At a later representation of the Italian Opera we noticed a number of coiflures in flowers placed over the forehead, and forming tufts on each side, but raised very high over the bandeaux. This is alto- gether contrary to the coiffures of the last year. The richest toilettes are trimmed with a profu- sion of colors. The Princess M. was dressed in simple robe of black velvet, the body trimmed with a magnificent bouqaet of sovall stringed diamonds The coiflure compored of a bow ck ribbon and gold, the end. Hing over the chest, on one ide; on the other a bouquet of diamonds and fall- ing tohege. Another drees was of tafietas Pompadour: white ground with chines bouquets. The body was plain and high; the skirt had two deep flouaces, sur- mounted witha plaiting of the same; the flounces were deeply cut, with pagoda sleeve, terminating witha frill the same as that on the skirt, trimme 4 at the bottom with two rows of deep lace. A young | wore a high redingote of blonde muslin, beautifully embroidered. A moss rose was the only ornament in the hair. Another lady had a robe of velvet, upon the body of which floated some pink shaded inartbouts, fas- tened with a brooch of brilliante; the coiffure was two tufts of marahouts, placed rather back on each side of the head, fastened with ping of brilliants. A lady of fashion displayed a robe of large whit» end cerise plaid, cut equare, trimmed with plaiting + ef cerise ribbon and narrow blonde, en echelle, ty the point of the bedy. The coiffure was composed ofa wreath of green velvet foliage. There were also many colored velvet robes, brown, ruby, derk green, with open bodies cut squere in front; the openings trimmed with bou- et lowers and foliage of velvet, mixed with mes. The coiflure had the flowers to mateh on one ride of the head, and the other a barde of white or black Ince. Small bords of blonde, or pink, or white terry velvet taammed with feathers, accompanied come of there toilettes. The Prewdent’s ball was graced by some ver tich materiale; bat the greater number of the ball dresses were of silk tarlatane, or taffetas of em~ breidered flounces Nothing is more beautiful than robes in white orpirk taille, with two deep founces, giving the effect of a double ekirt.

This robe, which might diterally be said to staad alone, so rich isthe material, had the body & la Louis XV., trimmed with an echelle of fluted rib- bon, in all the shades of the dress. The flat sleeves reached the elbow, and were edged with four rows of narrow ruches.

Fasutonane News From Rome.—The Roman Correspondent of the London Times writes, on the 2d inst :—New Year’s evening was distinguished by one of the most splendid fetes ever given at Rome. i President of Rome and Comarca, opened his magnificent palace in the Piazza del Jesu. Every person of consideration, foreign and native, was invited, and the numerous saloons were resplendent with beauty and dia- monds. Among the ladies most distinguished for ee appearance aud brilliant costume, was the | *rincess Torlonia, who was literally one blaze of jewels, many of which were said to have once be- longed to the ehrine of our Lady of Loretto. The next pyroeeae, who divided general attention with Madame Torlonia, wag our much admired, and, I may add, geserey beloved countrywomaa, the Princess Doria, daughter of the Earl of Shrews- bury. On this occasion she produced, from caskets where they had long been hidden, the costly heir- looms of the P. femily. The value of these jewels is almost inestimable, not only on account of their intrinsic worth, but their historical essoci- ation, as poo ad them are known to have belong- ed to the celebrated Donna Olimpia (2aid to be a daughter of Pope Innocent ety) and are recognized | in Velasquez’s portrait of that . The Princess Borghese (a }!ochefoucauld) was likewise splead: ly atured. The?Princess Altieri who did the hoaors for her relative, the Cardinal, was also a star of the first magnitude Her diamonds, in number and value, were scarcely curpassed by those ebove named. The foreign circle was completed by all FS the diplomatic corps end their ladies, and by the Freach Generul Commander in-Chief, and his steff. In short, it difficult to render justice to the brilliancy of this fete, as nothing was omitted tomake it one of tne most remarkable ever given in Kome.

This increase erises rather from the sur- plus of persons entering the town over those le ing it, then from the surplus of births over deaths, the average of the former being about 4,000 annu- ally, and that of the latter about 500 only. The popu- lation averages about 14,000 perrons for each sec- tion, the moet densely inhabited of which are the first, second ard third, which contain upwards of 20,000 each persoes, including the hospices within their reepective districts. The ison, tnilitary cole lege, the gendarmerie, the boats on the caval, and prisons, furnish a Seating population of 4,000 personas, towhom must be added 1,000 foreiguers. The number cf birthe, in 1850, exceeded that of the births of 1849 bv 8. The births in 1840 exceeded the deaths by 155, nding the prevalence of the cholera; in 1850, the surplus was 483) The number of deathe, in 1849, ounted to 5,508, ot which 1,013 were from cholera; in 1850, the deaths were 4,796 in number.

Cuerin, the ento- mologist, so celebrated for his discoveries, has found out anew destructive agent which has ap- peared emong the segare in the nationel manufac- tory. Frerybody has noted esegare with holes in them, which the emcker cannot use beoause of the air not drawing through the whole length. In 1817, BM. Guerin Meheville feceived from Mt. Planche, director of the tobacco factory, a small ket of dry se; eaten into holes, with a certain umber of insects found in cigars and in other tohac co. One insect alone was alive. Some of these insects were common to all countries; but some he could tell at once were from peculiar localities. No | segar smoker, however experienced, could have told the precise tobacco of which the segars were but M. Guerin could at once-state that the | segars came from North America and Cuba. In some he found xyletine serricorne, (xyletinus serri | cornie) a little insect common to Louisiana; in the others he found the body of a longicorne, the ela- phidion arrose (elephidion irroratum. Fab.) pecu- | liar to Cuba, and some blattes, or kakerlacs, as | well asascorpion, also peculiar to the island of | Cuba. [n enother Havana segar he found a new | insect which, like the xyletine, belongs to the fa- mily of the terediles of Latreille, a family of in- secis accustomed to make holes in wood. M. Guerin hes named him the catorama du tabac, from two Greek words, signifying to seek below.
