LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

GERMANY.

The petty sovereigns of Germany are profiting
by the Prussian reactionary movement The
government of the grand duchy of Hesse-Darm-
stadt sent a squadron of police agents to dis-
perse the assembly of the Nationalverein which
met at Alzig, and the interruption led to violence
and protests. Moreover, the result which the
government of Darmstadt proposed to itself
has not been realised. The members of
the National Association, to the number of
three or four thousand, assembled clandes-
tinely in full force on the Bavarian territory, and
have published their resolutions. The Gazette des
Posies states the substance of these to be as
follows :—Minifestations and sympathy for the
party of program in Prussia ; protestation against
the violation of the right of meeting ; and a resolu-
tion
on the subject of the elections for the diet of
the grand duchy of Hesse.
The Cologne Gazette of the 26th inst. says :
Yesterday a preliminary meeting was bald of 2,000
electors. The following resolution was proposed :
" The Chamber of Deputies has been diesolva, oar
'squat upon the adoption at the Hagen maim These
ministers who have admitted, at bat in principle, the
legitimacy of the Hagen proposition have been dismissed.
The ministers that Tamara in *Moe, and thine newly ap-
pointed, are in opposition to the prhiciple of right pro-
aimed by the majority ot the Cluunber. This tea brings
into question the most essential right of the national re-
presentation, the control at the budget. In the electoral
circular of the Minister of the Interior, the party of pro-
gress which, with the independent deputies, formed the ma-
jority at the Chamber, is represented as hostile to the
rights el the Crown. The dissolved Claseasr, therefore,
rests ander the areasation of havisg abandoned constitu-
tional grannd, and et having manifested hostility ageing
the sovereign power.
"The Assembly, on the contrary, declares :
"1. The deputies who voted for the Hera proposition
have exercised a right and done their duty.
"2, All eggradou against that constitutional right is an
attack upon the cralatitulirm
"3. The oonstitutical rights of the crown are not in
any manner attacked by the right exercised by the Chamber.
" 4. The electors will have to prove, at the new elections,
that they are resolved to respect is the same dopes the pre-
rogatives of the Grollrll as they are resolved to remsat those
of the mikes' reeneestatiza."

The above resolution was unanimously adopted.
A second resolution, tending to recommend the
formation in each electoral district of the Rhenish
province of a committee of the party of progress, was
also adopted, and the assembly appointed 42 (doc-
tors to form the electoral committee at Cologne.
K de Groner, Under Secretary of State for Fo-
reign Affairs, remains in office. The foreign policy
of Prussia will not undergo any change. A depu-
tation of the Brandenburg Dragoons, of which
Prince Windisehgrsts was honorary colonel, has
I gone to Vienna to attend the Marshal's funeral.
The conversion of the loans has not been favourably
received in financial circles. It is feared that this
measure will become a source of embarrassment to
the government.
