GERMANY.
The Famine in Germany. — Sad accounts of disease and famine still reach us. Wholo villnges are deserted for want of food, and in other parts trade is standing still. Of 18,000 looms, in u single province in Bavaria, almost exclusively inhabited by weavers, not half are at full work. In^Wurtemlmrg dogs lmvo been ravenously dovourod, and one even, far decomposed, dug up and eaten. A letter from Vienna, of April 21, states that all Kossuth's relatives have been set at liberty by the Austrian Government, and that they will lwtve the country on tho Ist of May. The late Prince Schwartzcnbcrg has loft a fortuno of 500,000 ilovinw, which, by his will, dated in 1047, lie leaves, charged with several legacies, to the Princess Matilda, his sister. Letters from Paris state that negotiations with Russia arc spoken of for the divorce of the Princess Matilde from her husband, Prince Demidoff. The Prince, it is said, offers a settlement of JOOjOOOf. a year and two millions at his death. But the lady, it is said, inquires the two millions down and tho annuity besides.
