To prove the criminality of the proceedings of the Duke of AUOUSTENBUUO and his rebellious con federates, it is nit necessary to dip very profoundly int, the hi,rorical researches of Professor D A HLNiANN. Many of the facts recounted by that distinguished and erudite historian of the southtrn provinces of "THE SUN" . CONTAIti, AS USUAL, THE LATEST PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE, Jutland were already notorious throughout I -urope, when he , himself was lyieg in his cr,.dle—before, indeed, the possibility of his existence had been conjectured by his ancestors. From these facts alone, suillcient evidence might be obtained to show the intimate and indissoluble connexion subsisting he tween Schleswig and northern Jutland—to demon strate, in short, the actual identity, as it were, of those divisions of the peninsula. Even as far back as the rise of the Carlovingian race, his tory declares that the river Eyder was the southern boundary of the Danish sovereignty. Eydera Germani terminus imperil was the fragment of a distich among topographers many centuries before COLUMBUS earned his bread by Until, therefore, maps in a garret at Lisb on. therefore, that frontier-line of Germany can be passed without a violation of the rights of sove reignty, it is necessary to show that the channel of the Eyder has shifted like that of the waters of Babylon, when BELSHAZZAR drank to the might and the glory of the Gentiles. Geography, however, still raises a stubborn obstacle against such sophis tries of rebellion—there the Eyder rolls on in its eternal current, from its junction with the canal of the Baltic to its diffusion among the billows of the German Ocean—there the fragment of the distich resounds from the distance of antiquity— Eydera Germani terminus imperii ! A summary of the occurrences which have illustrated the records of Jutland since the establishment of the empire of CHARLEMAGNE will demonstrate still more forcibly the futility of any such sophistical reasoning as that adventured upon by the Duke of AUGUSTENBURG. Somewhere about 1450, Denmark, Schleswig, and Holstein, were declared to be one kingdom under the sway of the Oldenburg dynasty. Treachery , among the minor branches of that family succeeded fora moment in 1658, w h en, b y th e t rea ti es o f Copenhagen and Roeskilde, Schleswig and Holstein were formed into an independent sovereignty. In he beginning of the eighteenth century Schleswig was again incorporated with Denmark, and, in 1720, according to the stipulations of Stockholm and Fre densborg, the Danish dominions were consolidated by the agreement of the contracting powers. Hol ,tein, on the other hand, it cannot be forgotten, was originally one of the grand feofs of the Germanic empire, was re-united to Denmark on the destruc tion of that empire by NAPOLEON in 1806, and was at last once more, in 1815, declared to be a portion of the Germanic Confederation. From -he few hut indisputable facts here enumerated, it v , ll he pereeiv. d at once that the attempted inc..rpo ration of Schleswig with Germany is an Cif .rt of -iznal . crimivality. A n y i n t er f erence on t h e p ar t o f - -1 - would be as infamous and tihjustitiable seditious harangues and patriotic revolt in Ireland. i The rights of the people can have no more appropriate advocates, and the liberties of the people can have no more constitutional defenders, than the popular repre sentatives in the House of Commons. From the re cent demonstration on the part of those representa tives, we are inclined to hope and believe that they feel the responsibility of their honourable and onerous position, and are prepared to fulfil its duties in a manner worthy of themselves and of their consti tuents, in a manner demanded of them by the expecta• tions of the country and the exigency of the times. For their success in such endeavours they have our most hearty and unfeigned good wishes. We sail, some d Lys since, in speaking of the manner in which the for ign affairs of this country had been mismanaged by the Earl of ABERDEEN, that it appeared to have been the height of the Njble Earl's anibitien to be considered head clerk to M. (siuizor. We were aware that throughout the whole of his administration the President of the Society of Antiquaries had invariably and systematically treated the interests of the British people as actively subordi nate to those of the King of the FRENCH. We were aware that he had neglected to vindicate the honour of England in Otaheite, that he had neglected to support the interests of England in Spain and in Morocco, and that he had actively interfered to ruin the British commerce in the Rio de la Plata, in order to secure the ascendancy of M. GUIZOT and Louts Phintrre in France, by enabling them to boast that they had bullied and bamboozled England in every quarter of the world. Of all these facts we say we were aware, for they were unfortunately patent to the observation of all mankind; but we never suspected that any British Minister for Foreign Affairs could be capable of receiving instructions from a foreign power as to what course he should pursue as regarded his relations with independent states, or could so far forget what was due to the honour and dignity of his SOVEREIGN and his country as to habitually submit dispatches addressed by him to his own diplomatic agents abroad to the approval of a foreign power. Yet such it appears from the re cently published letter of Louis PHILIPPE to his daughter the Queen of the BELGIANS, was the custom of " cet excellent ABERDEEN" —a custom so constantly observed that Louts PHILIPPE seems to have considered Downing- street as a mere bureau of the Hotel des Capucines, and the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs as mere Under-Secretary to M. GuizoT. So rooted was this idea of the subordination of British to French diplomacy that Louis PHILIPPE actually makes it a subject of grave accusation against Lord PALMERSTON, that he had o❑ his accession to office ventured to send off a dispatch to the British Ambassador in Spain without having first submitted it to the French Charge d'Affaires at the Court of St. James's, the Count DE JARNAC, and through him to M. GutzoT for approval and alteration before it should be for warded. " Procede," adds Louts PHILIPPE, with the most engaging simplicity, " qui n'etait guire con forme a notre entente cordiale et a ce a quoi noes etions HABITUES par nov rapports de confiance reel proques avec Lord ABERDEEN." The reciprocity was of rather an Irish character—a one-sided reci procity, We will venture to say that the dispatches of Louts PtiILIPPE or of Al. GuizoT to Count liairssoN were never suhtnitt,d to the sulArvi.ioo •.f Lord ABERDEEN before they were sent off to t o one of the continental powers sent an army of ,!;:ante to a band of rebels in one of 'he shires of `•Vales. Yet we have no fear whatever, either for the lationaliry of the Danes or for the sovereignty of FREDER:CK The resolution of the latter, and the patriotism of the former, assure us that there is no longer "something rotten in the state of Den :nark," and that the lust of power will very speedily be expiated by the Duke of AUGUSTENDURG and his royal accomplices. their aestinattoo; nut that the interests of France 1-taye at all suffered by such a proceeding - , fur the travk bed Thane " was too faithful and too dub have, for one moment, been capable of attempting to clif oar the intrigues of M. GuizoT, however AIID much the interests of " notre bonne petite Reine" may have required him to do so. Sed non omma possums omnes. If Lord ABERDEEN had not said ditto to M. GUIZOT, during the whole period he was in office, and thus saved himself the trouble of thinking about foreign affairs, how could he have had time to meddle in the Free Church squabbles in Scotland ? True, we should not have had the Ashburton capitu lation, or the expulsion of ESPARTERO, or the invasion of Morocco, or the seizure of Otaheite, or the Dutch conquest of Bali, or the " little war" in La Plata, had the Foreign Secretary attended to the business of his department. But then we should never have had the lucubrations of cet excellent ABERDEEN on the At the present period, when liberal principles are .riumphing in all parts of the world, it is in no wise fitting that England, who has so long led the van of liberalism, should in any degree relax in her exer tions in the great cause of progress and reform. On the contrary, it is now more especially incumbent upon us to exhibit fresh ardour and resolution, and to emulate those struggles of philanthropy and free dom for which we have so constantly testified our unfeigned sympathy and aCmiration. By an emula tion of those struggles we are far from intending to signify an emulation of the republicanism of Paris, or the revolutions of Germany. It is, however, the duty of England now to emulate the liberal spirit which has inspired those wonderful changes, and to give very unmistakeable signs that her anxiets in promoting popular liberty and reform is in no one particular diminished. That liberal principles of the most extreme, yet withal temperate and loyal cha racter, exist to a peculiar extent in this country is undisputed; nevertheless, some especial manifestation 1, 1 - 11il B.,(410, :::- of their exietence i s ju s t now wanti ng . N o t suc h a I manifestation as that which last week alarmed the Government and agitated the country, and the result of which has overwhelmed the true champions of the people with intolerable shame and indignation. Not such a manifestation as that is now demanded of us Our liberal principles require to be manifested by ad ditional fruits.

Rorke THE SITIC, LONDON, SATURDAY' EVENING, APRIL 15, _B4B. in reply to a demand made for explanations as to the views of France in assembling so large a force on the Piedmontese frontier, bad received the most satisfac tory assurances. At the interview which took place on Wednesday between the Minister of Finance and the principal railway directors, the intentions of the Government with R N railways was thus ex plained by M. Gs:hoaddressed the meeting at con• A r i e E g rt a r p d A to s sG siderable length : " He had been kept waiting," he observed, " expect ing M. Marie, the Minister of Public Works, but as his colleague had not strayed, he thought it better not to detain the gentlemen present any !under, but at once proceed to inform them of the motives which had tic tuati 11 him in coaling them together. He had no doubt that th. y were a lready aware that certain parties con n. cited with the railways had already been treating with bite relative to the expropriation of the lines by the St site.— (Cries of •No, no, no one was entitled to do that ' here burst forth.) At all events they must have a i n ts d o t wt hands was the intention al public report, that to t h a e lt a :: d the at r Ol the Government. During the late revolution the companies had suffe red e xce e dingly from the excess es the ail w a l3; s u r intose, of certain brigands and ill-disposed citizens, and had it not been for the exertions of some of the pupils of the Polytechnic School, and others who were struck with the enormity of the damage that might be thus effected in a shirt space of time, they would, in ail probability, have nearly disappeared altogether. It any ether disturbance were to take place, he feared that their lines might be again placed in a similar disas trails position, not having the power to prevent any attack from the ill-intentioned. Owing to the present troubled state of things, the workmen had, in many cases, deserted the workshops of the companies, and the latter had been obliged, in other instances, to make con cessions to the men who still remained at their duty; the Government had, in fact, already considered it necessary to place one line under sequestration. As to the lines still in course of execution, it was notorious that some had not been able to repay to the State at the appointed time the sums which it had expended in their works; in others the companies would evidently not be able to finish their lines, from the extreme difficulty which they would experience in getting their calls paid up; whilst in the lines that were finished and at work the companies were not able to work them with certainty and safety. —(Expressions of denial from several directors.) Look ing, therefore, at the general position of railway pro perty, he would put this question to the gentlemen pre sent : Was it not their interest to treat with the Govern ment to take the lines into its own hands? Were they not, in fact, forced in self- defence to such a course? If some such course were not adopted, he could not see how the unfinished lines were to be executed, or the finished ones worked. To guarantee complete security to rail way property, whether when tranquillity prevailed, or if any new disturbance s hould arise, which, however, he did not apprehend, he thought the only means to be adopted was, that they should become the property of the State. In the present situation of the finances it was i mposs ibl e for the Government to afford pecuniary aid to the com panies, and consequently there was nothing to be thought of but the re purchase (rachat) of the lines. He said that the question as to the resumption by the State of the railways had come now to such a point, that it was of immense importance not only to the Government, but to the shareholders of railways themselves, that it should be promptly settled. For his own part, he thought that, in the pre sent circumstances of the republic, it became of urgent necessity that the Government should take possession of the railways, but he had no:wish that that should be done on any terms, excepting such as would be perfectly fair and perfectly equitable to all the part es concerned. There were two propositions which he should propose to the directors, and which he was willing to recommend to the Provisional Government, if approved of by the meeting. He would propose that the railways should be taken at the prices of the present day, and paid for by the Government in cash or 5 per cent. stock at the pre sent prices; and if that were not approved of, he should propose as an alternative, that they should be taken at the price or the 15th February last, and paid for in 5 per cent. stork at the price of that day. If neither of these proposittons was approved of by the directors of the the Provisional Government was not in • (dined to force the measure upon the companies, but No u ld leave the question to be settled by the National A-sembly, and by the definitive Government of the Re public when it should have been constituted. In the course of r is speech M. Garnier Pages alluded to a plan which had been proposed, and by which the Government should take the lines which have already been opened at a price to be fixed upon the average of the receipts for the last six months ; but, in reference to that plan, he said that railways were a new experiment in France• and that he would not be inclined to recommend it to the Provisional Government. Throughout his speech he begged the meeting to understand that he was speak ing his own individual feelings and sentiments, and by no means the sentiments or the determination of the' Provisional Government. He concluded his address by expressing a wish that any of the gentlemen present who might .be inclined to do so would state their opi nions." The speech of the Minister was very coldly re ceived, and the plan proposed was utterly scouted as being nothing more nor less than confiscation of the property of the shareholders. A serious difference of opinion has arisen between M. LEDRU RoLLIN and his colleagues. A deputation came to Paris from Amiens, for the purpose of pre senting a petition for the removal of one of M. LEDRU ROLLIN'S commissaries, on account of some violent proceedings in which he has been indulging, in the exercise of the unlimited powers with which he and his colleagues are invested. MDE LAMARTINE and some other members of the Provisional Government are said to have admitted the misconduct of the com missioner, and expressed an opinion that he ought to be recalled. M. LEDRU-ROLLIN refused to sacrifice a functionary who, if to blame at all, was only guilty of over-zeal in the cause of the Republic. A violent scene ensued, and words passed between the mem• hers of the Provisional Government which indicate a wide breach in the councils of the nation The Reforme, the organ of M. LEDRU ROLLIN, thus alludes to the affair : " A statement of grave tacts which have occurred in the Cabinet of the Minister of the Interior has been communicated to us. Those who know the citizen Le. dru Rollin are aware that it is not of inertness that he must be accused, but of placing too much confidence in certain men well placed for deceiving him. We shall have to explain ourselves with respect to these facts to morrow." At length the regular troops have been suffered t 1 enter Paris. The Commerce thus relates the return of the 61st Regiment :- " The entry into Paris of the 61st regiment of the line was attended with an incident worth relating. Consider ablewa e en r od e ms a il osgewme through r e a o d du a gi s t hp the iht t o o ßn p at r o o r f ipe t rr h ee e , vFean ut b groups to uier g t sr to o . o f pAsn tforion people me e Upon this the column debouched by the Barriere du Trone, with muskets shouldered and bayonets fixed Cries were uttered, and some workmen seemed disposed to surround the Colonel.

Ti,e assemblage immediately bowed to the popular authority of the Government. opened a clear way for the troops, and suffered them to pass, amidst shouts of Vive le Colonel!'" • Lyons has again been the scene of fresh dis turbances.

TBE Bounse.—The happy issue of the Chartist demonstration having been made known, every in quietude ceased at the Bourse, which assumed a favourable aspect, and all the funds improved more or less. There was a good deal of business, chiefly in national funds and integrals. The Russian funds were in demand, and the Five per Cents. rose from 70 to 76 ; there was afterwards a slight reaction, but they closed 8 per cent. higher than yesterday. SPAIN. Madrid papers of the Bth have been received. The capital continued tranquil. The Gaceta publishes a decree, ordering the sale of the property of the four military orders, the edifices, and rent-charges of every kind belonging to the State ; as also the property, rents, and revenues proceeding from fraternities and communities of all classes. The Duke of MONTPENSIER has dismissed all his French attendants, declaring that henceforth he re gards himself as a Spaniard.

MARCESCHEAU Consul- General and Charge d'Affaires at Tunis. Great preparations are making for the fête of the 20th in the Champ de Mars. There will be 200,000 of the National Guards and of the Garde Mobile, present, and about 20 000 regular troops. The G. , rde have just receivA percussion mu,kHts. S.riou , disturbances continue to occur in various f. be provincial towns of France. On the 10th and lltn Troyes had been the theatre of serious disorders. The National Guard was constantly on foot, and col lisions had taken place between them and the work men, in which several persona were wounded on both sides. The Commissary of the Government was obliged to resign and depart for Paris. A letter from Troyes, of the 11th inst., says : " A drt adful accident has just occurred at Ronsilly, on the Menteresu to Troyes Railway. The %Tot ktnen tore up about 340 metres of the line, to prevent the National Guard of Nugent- sur Seine from reaching Troyes; in cons* quence a locomotive went off the rails, and the engine driver was killed and the stoker severely wounded. We have just been informed that no other persons have been hurt, but we have not received details. " At Tonnerre, the two commissaries having twice dis solved the Municipal Council, its members were twice re-elected by a majority of 900 out of 930 voters, and the commissaries, experiencing the most obstinate re sistance on the part of that body, were ultimately obliged to retire. At Dolus, in the island of Oleron, the bourgeois having incurred the displeasure of the country people, and not considering themselves secure in the town, abandoned their houses, and withdrew into the fort with their families, leaving their homes at the mercy of the peasantry, who had threatened to plunder the town and set it on fire." At Auxerre the clubs had got up a demonstration against the Government Commissary, and a collision was every moment expected. The Patriote des Alpes announces that tranquillity had been disturbed in the department of Isere, in consequence of the pretension of the inhabitants of Autrans to cut wood in a neighbouring forest. The Courrier de la Sarthe of the 12th states that fresh acts of insubordination have taken place in the 2d Regiment of Carbineers, now in garrison at Le Mans. Four privates who refused to obey the offi cers were arrested, and taken to Tours to be tried by court-martial. aDt%,baortsilosutasete,sbutthtehtesEermloallnscipdaistoiorn hheavJeouorencauirrd:ds der T s of Toulouse makes no mention of the circumstance.

BRUSSELS, Arum 12.—At the sitting of the second Chamber yesterday, the Minister of Finance pre rented a project of law, for a supplementary loan of 200,000 francs, for the fabrication of copper money. and for the suspension of several ordinances of the law relative to differential duties. His MAJESTY has placed the sum of 10,000 francs in the hands of the Burgomaster of Brussels as a sub scription to the sum now being raised in aid of the hospitals. The price of wheat and rye, says the Courrier Beige, has reached so low a point, that we shall be compelled to consiier any further decline as highly prejudicial to the agriculturalist. Wheat was noted the whole of last week at 17f. 16c. per hecto lizre, and Rye at 10f. 44c. During this week it has continued to fall. Wheat was noted at 15f. Brc. per hectolitre. The Bourse of Brussels was in a very favourable state again to day. The funds continue to rise rapidly. The Five per Cents., which yesterday were 54i, are to day 58k. Four-and-a-Half per Cents, have risen from 50i to 55 ; Two-and-a-Half from 29 to 30. We have received satisfactory intelligence both from England and France. - DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The greatest enthusiasm prevails among the Danes, who are determined to make every sacrifice to main tain the rights of their KING over the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. The number of horses sent for the army by private individuals is already so great that the Minister of War has announced that he at present cannot receive any more; great sums of money have been subscribed in all parts of the country. The Danish party in the Duchies is much more powerful than from German accounts we had been led to expect. The rich island of 2Ero has in a great meeting protested against the incorporation with Germany, and declared themselves ready to defend their union with Denmark as an independent province, and their allegiance to their Sovereign ; on the island of Alsen, containing 27,000 inhabitants, the residence of the Duke of AUGUSTENBURG, 2,000 men have joined the Danish army as volunteers. One of the first deeds of the insurgents has been to extinguish the light on Femern, in the hope of preventing Danish vessels from entering the im• portant harbours on the coast. The KING has issued the following proclamation : " PROCLANATI N OF THE RING TO THE SCHLLSWIGERS " Men of Schleswig,—My lust word to you was that I would soon see you face to face, This my royal word do I now fulfil; as God is my witness that I intend to fulfil every prom'se which, prompted by love to my aub- jucts, I have given you. Alen of Schleswig,—Confiding in my just cause, I stand in the midst of you. I stand here to force lies and falsehood to throw off their masks. I stand here to render it impossible for the traitors to tear you from me by falsehood. I stand here to show you, as well as the whole world, that it is my free and determined will to fight for my right to the last. " Faithful men of Schleswig I—Gather round your King, who will lead you to freedom and will grant all the rights that can secure your happiness; and if amongst you there are some who are misled, give me an opportunity to appear amongst you as a mild and forgiving lord, by yourselves prevailing upon these mis led men to depart while it is still time, from the insur gents, whose audacious conduct will bring down upon their guilty heads a just punishment. " Men of Schleswig,—Before concluding, let me in form you that I will summon the authorities of the land before a commission I have appointed to administer the affairs of the country, in order that they may give me information of the state of the country, and have an opportunity to render an account of their acts and their conduct. " Given in the town of Sonderborg (in the Isle o Alsen), the 6th of April, 1848. " FREDERICK R There is no later intelligence from the seat of war, but it is said that the flower of the youth of the most influential families of Schleswig and Holstein fell in the battle which was fought on Sunday. POLAND. Baron KRIEG, the Imperial Commissary at Cracow, published a proclamation on the 6th instant, announcing that, in compliance with the wishes of the deputations of the inhabitants, he sanctions the formation of a committee of the citi zens, which shall serve as intermediaries between the people and the Government, and which shall represent to the latter the wishes of the people. PLESCIIEN, APRIL 7, TWELVE O'CLOCK AT NOON. — This morning the Polish military prepared for attack. Yestesday a great number of agricultural implements, iron bars, planks, &c., were brought into the city from every quarter ; the paving stones were torn up in the streets in order that missiles might be at hand, and barricades have been erected at all the principal points. Towards noon the Polish military entered the city. They consist of a train of Ulaners, about two thousand men strong, completely equipped, and fully organized. They were soon followed by the nobles with their scythemen, so that Pleschen is now occupied by the military. It is to be the rendezvous for the surrounding districts. It was resolved that no Prussian soldier should be admitted into the city yesterday even ing. At nine o'clock the tocsin was sounded, there was a call to arms, by way of trial. All the barricades were garrisoned. The Prussian troops would not be able to take the city without the greatest exertions. DANZIG, APRIL B.—One of our merchants returned hither from IVarsaw a few days ago, and confirmed the intelligence that no more passports can be obtained from abroad. In Warsaw itself the greatest excite ment prevails, and the city resembles an encamp ment. The troops bivouacked in the public squares. The watchfires are lighted at night, and every person is shot at who does not reply when called to. Very few people, however, venture into the streets after night fall, and none are permitted to do so without a lantern. A most unnatural depression prevails here, and there is a complete stagnation of business. A short time since, when a high persanage was at Warsaw, it was determined to give a grand ballet at the Theatre in his honour. The house, however, was almost empty, and an order WAS issued for some officers and officials to repair thither, or the honoured guest would have had the house almost to himself. Not only have all the weapons been taken away from the Poles, but even all sharp instruments, and the inhabitants have been prohibited from making any. At th• same time, the citadel is so well furnished, that if the slightest movement should take place in the city, it would instantly be reduced to a mass. If, therefore, Poland does not receive a ssistance from abroad, or some revolution shakes Russia to her centre, and overwhelms its tyranny, there is no likelihood that Poland will break her o bains.—llamburgh Borsenhalle, April 11. --- • PRINCE METTERNICH. It is said that Prince METTERNICH is to embark this day at Rotterdam for England. ELECTION OF ALDERMAN OF BREAD-STREET WARD. —This morning a wardinote wa► held at Curdwainers' Hall for the purpose of electing an alderman for Bread street W ard, in the room of Hughes Hughes, Esq., resigned. The Lord Mayor took the chair, Mr Juhn Lupton pro posed Mr. William Lawrence, builder, as alderman ; Mr. Bunch seconded the motion, and he was elected unanimously. Votes of thanks to the late alderman and to the Lord Mayor passed unanimously, We understand that the Lord Mayor has deter mined, in conjunction with the leading bankers and merchants of the city of London, to convey to her Ma jesty's Ministers an expression of their approval of the very determined measures which Were adopted by them to preserve the pt ace and good order of the metropolis on Monday last..

No engagement had taken pace between the Pied montese and Austrians up to the 7th instant. The Austrians have thrown a strong force into the citadel of Legnano, on the Adige, below Verona. This point commands the roads to Rovigo and Fer rara and the Adige. The Roman division has crossed the Po, advancing on Rovigo-10,000 strong, accompanied by two Swiss regiments, and 5,000 volunteers. The head-quarters of CHARLES ALBERT are at two days' march from Verona. The Milan Gazette of the 6th contains a long de scription of the funeral procession and obsequies which took place in honour of the victims of the re volution of March. The pageant was magnificent, and remarkable for the enthusiasm that pervaded tb . • dense mass of spectators. The last offi c i al bulletin contains nothing of importance. The Austria ns be . d capitulated at Magnavacca ; General ZUCCHI occupied the banks of the Isonzo. Letters from Dalmatia, says the bulletin, assert that a British force has occupied Zara and the island of Lisca in the Adriatic. A supplement to the same journal announces, froth Palermo, March 29, that the Sicilian Parliament o 1151 confirmed the right of the King of NarLes ver Sicily. The Lega Ilaliana of Genoa, of the Bth, quote Croatian journals, announcing that political agitation has begun in Croatia also. In an assembly cif rep": ,entacives of the nation, comprising Sclavonia d part of Dalmatia, several demands were resolve upon to be presented to the Austrian Gover nor ent• among which the separation of Croatia, DaltOtili and Sclavonia from the empire.

The Prussian States Gazette of the 12th contains the proclamation of the KING, for the new regulation for the elections to the German Parliament. Accord ing to the recent decision of the Germanic Diet, the number of delegates to be sent by Prussia will be 159, exclusive of the province of Prussia, but includ ing that province, 191. The elections in the various provinces will be as follows :- 13randenburg . 27 Pomerania ... 39 Silesia Saxony 23 Westphalia Rhenish Provinces Prussian ditto This royal proclamation, countersigned by the Ministers, was given at Berlin on the 11 th of April. A disturbance occurred at one of the prisons in Cologne on the 11th. The prisoners killed one of the keepers with his own sword, and wounded another. They then broke through many of the gates, and assembled in the cot ridor of the third floor. The guards entered, and were obliged to fire on the prisoners before they could bring them to their senses ; only one was wounded. The only thing which has in any way disturbed the peace of tile town has been caused by some excesses committed by some of the recruits from Pomerania. The civic guard succeeded in stopping them, but not without bloodshed, the recruits having resisted. AUSTRIA. The Wiener Zeitung, of the 9th inst., says : The Imperial Ambassador at the Court of Naples, Prince Felix Schwarzenberg, found it necessary to quit Naples on the 28th of March. His resolution was taken in con sequence of the following circumstances :—On the even ing of the 25th, the mob tore down the Imperial Aus trian arms at the residence of the Ambassador, and burnt them publicly in the market-place, the burgher• guard, to the number of forty men, with their officer, quietly looking on. On the same evening the Prince sent in a note, demanding satis4action for this act of aggression. To this no answer was returned, whereupon the Prince wrote a second note on th 27th, and in the course of the day received a note from Prince Carioti, Secretary of State, saying that the Govern ment regrets the destruction of the Austrian arms, which was effected not by Neapolitan subjects, but by persons who were exasperated at the course of recent events in Vienna, as well as in the kingdom of Lombardy. That on learning that the Austrian arms had been destroyed at Rome, the Neapolitan Govern ment had taken steps to prevent a similar breach of pre rogative at Naples; unhappily, however, at a moment when tranquillity prevailed, the people had most unex pectedly committed the untoward act, without the possi bility of interference on the part of the Government. That, however, the Prince need not be surprised at the occurrence, inasmuch as he was well aware, that in a large capital, provided with the most disciplined and tru tworthy troops, it had not been possible to prevent far more serious disturbances Under these cii cum stances the Court of Naples hoped that the feelings of the Austrian Ambassador would be appeased, and that, following the example of the Austrian Ambassador at Roane, he would continue his friendly relations with the Government." This note of Prince CARIOTI was deemed very un satisfactory by Prince SCIIWARZRNBERG, who de manded in repl3 that the Austrian arms should be replaced by the Neapolitan Government at the hotel of the Ambassador, and secondly, that a declaration disavowing the act should be inserted without delay in the official journal Delle due Sicilie. A categorical answer was also demanded within twenty-four hours. In the course of the same day a Neapolitan Minis terial proclamation was issued, signed by GIACOMO TOFANO, Miuisterior of the Interior, calling upon young patriotic men to enter a corps of volunteers, destined to go by sea to Leghorn, where they were to be divided into battalions and regiments, and sent to Upper Italy. Upon this Prince SCRWARZENBERG addressed an immediate note to Prince CARIOTI, stating that a part of Upper Italy was an integral part of Austria, and that the corps of volunteers could have no other possible ostensible view than that of aiding the insur gents in the Kingdom of Lombardy and Venice. He demanded a categorical explanation within twenty hours respecting the cause of the said armament. To this note of Prince SCHWARZENBERG, Prince CARIOTI sent the following reply : " /siaples, March 28. 1848. " This morning at eight o'clock the undersigned minister received the two notes addressed to him by Prince Schwarzenberg yesterday, one of which refers 'o the untoward circumstance of the demolition of the Imperial arms placed at the entrance of his residence, and the other to the departure of some Neapolitan volunteers to Leghorn. " In the prospect of the resignation of the ministers, ar d as the undersigned cannot possibly take upon him self the responsibility of replying without the concur rence of the Cabinet Council, he is under the necessity of requesting the Prince to await the formation of the new Cabinet, to whom the demands of the Prince shall be submitted for their speedy decision. " Assured that the Prince will duly appreciate the unavoidable cause of the delay, &c. &c. (Signed) - PRINCE CARIOTI." HESSE CASSEL. A successful revolution broke out at Hesse Cassel on the 9th. The people assembled about the hotels of the ex-Ministers, who were very unpopular. The soldiery were called out to disperse the discontented. They charged the people, who immediately armed themselves, and threw up barricades. A smart fight took place, and the arsenal was take❑ by storm by the insurgents. They then proceeded to the bar racks, and after a brief opposition the soldiers re tired, leaving the town in the hands of the people. The building was soon sacked and nava to the ground. Four thousand muskets were found there, with which the people armed themselves. They demand the disbanding of the regiments which fired on them. FRAN KFO RT• The Frankfort journal publishes the following pro clamation, addressed by the Committee of Fifty of the Provisional Parliament of Frankfurt to the German people, for the convocation of a National Assembly:— " To all who inhabit Germany and who have German hearts we address the present appeal ; and you also, Croatians; you, men of Schleswig and eastern and wes tern Prussia, until now the artifices of diplomacy have keot you separate from us ; now, on the contrary, you are our brothers. Our German country must be one country only, great and free. The whole German people will it, and the will of a people is irresistible. Men invested with the confidence of the public have as sembled at Frankfort to prepare for the realisition of the will of the people. Not having been selected by a regular choice, they have regarded it as a duty to convoke a na tional constituent assembly, and to abandon to it the regu lation of the future destiny of Germany. The whole Ger man people must be represented in the National Assembly. No difference of condition, fortune, or religious creed will limit the liberty of the elections. Every citizen of age, and independent, is an elector in his country, and eligible in all Germany. As the bases of the welfare of the people the Assembly has recognised—the un limited liberty of opinions ; the liberty of conscience and faith ; ;the right of associations ; the protection of individual liberty ; the independence of the tribunals and of justice, and the institution of the jury ; the pro tection of the labouring classes ; the just assessment of taxes, the independence of the communes, the subordina tion of individual to generality,and the free development of the national spirit. In order to guarantee all these precious advantages, and that individual will may never resist the general interest, the Assembly has resolved on the general arming of the people ; we must also be armed, and ready to defend ourselves against foreign enemies. The Assembly has resolved that Schleswig and also eastern and western Prussia shall enter into the Germanic Confederation. It has rejected for Germany the ignominy of the partition of Poland, and imposes upon the German people the duty of endeavouring to secure for the Poles the restoration of their country. Whatever may be the result of these resolutions, Germany is sufficiently strong to answer fur the consequences that they may produce; the spirit of concord and general defence are the surest guarantees for victory. Men of Germany! You know what has happened and what may happen; it is for you to complete what t'.e assembly in whose name we speak has commenced. It is in its name that we invite you to commence the general elections with gravity and regularity. Send to the National Assembly plain and honest men ; men who have proved to the people that the wish for the general good overpowers in them all considerations of private interest; in whose eyes justice has a higher place than considerations of classes and prejudices, and who regard truth as more valuable than the victory of individual opinion. Reflect on your mission; reflect that your fathers look down upon you. HOLLAND. The Journal de Limbourg states that it has received from an authentic source the following statement resp l / 4 cting the projects of reform of the fuodamentel law:— " The electoral census will be fixed at 20i. to 225 f.
