LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

PRUSSIA AND THE FRANKFORT
GATHERING.

The rod: Zeitung of the 25th inst. oontredicts,
with mulch vehemence, the rumour spread by a
Vienna journal as to the alleged desire of Prussia
to retire from the Germanic Confederation. "The
idea has not occurred to any one," says that jour-
nal, "to make such a threat. Let it be borne in
mind that Prussia is now maintaining herself
firmly en the ground of the federal right. She
will willingly assist in reforms, but she will never
allow the foreigner to dictate them to her."
According to a letter from Berlin, the French
government has issued instructions to its represen-
tatives in Germany, to maintain the strictest
reserve with regard to everything which concerns
the internal affairs of Germany.
The Press of Vienna says :

Advice@ from Frsnkfort state that it is more particularly
the King of Saxony who uses all his influence to procure
the success of the great work of reform. That is the more
surprising that Saxony would perhaps have reason to com-
plain of a place inferior to that of Bavaria being attributed
to her. It is, moreover, stated that the Duke of Sere
Coburg displays much activity, ►nd that his attitude does
sot a little contribute to inspire more ooseiliatory
sseti-
ments in the Grand Dukes of Baden and Weimar, who are
not veru well disposed in favour of the Austrian project.
The bergemuten of the Hansa Towns, also, to a certain
point, side with the Duke ci Saxe Coburg.

ITALY.

The Na:ione of Turin says:

Y. Alexandre Dumas bee had 500 photographic portraits
printed of the unfortunate Matteo Ferrara, whose eyes
were tom out and his nose and earn cut off by order of the
brigand chief Crescenzo Cravina. The intention of N.
Dumas is to send those photographs to France, in order that
some of the horrors of brigandage may be seen there. It is
well to here remind our readers that this Cremenzo Gra-
vies, the author of the horrible mutilation, is the companion
of Cipriano La Gala.

FRANKFORT-ON-THF,MAINE. Auouer 28.

The Frankfort Jouraai of to-day says :—" We
are authorised by the ducal cabinet to declare the
assertion to be unfounded that the Duke of Saxe-
Coburg was the author of the pamphlet published
at Brussels under the title of ' Revelations.'"
VIENNA. Amour 2', EVINDICI.

The Botschafter gives an analysis of the memorial
remitted on the 3rd August by the Emperor of
Austria to the King of Prussia at Gastein.
This memorial states that the condition of Europe
renders it incumbent on the Sovereigns to insure to
themselves a tenable position, and that the
German people are entitled to demand a reform.
It states, also, that the will of Prussia may
legally and in fact prevent a reform, bat that the
governments who believe it impossible to remain in
the *tutu quo would be finally compellod to sepa-
rately introduce federal reform in their states by
the most extended application possible of the righ
of free union, at the same time preserving the
federal bond.

The same journal announces that there is every
reason to believe that federal execution, with which
the Germanic Diet has menaced Denmark, and the
occupation of the duchy of Holstein, will take
place. " Sufficient forces," says the Botathafter,
"will be placed in the field to put these measures
into execution."
