PRUSSIA.

The Provincial Corvropotidens publishes an ar-
ticle headed "The Goveriunent and the Diet,"
which concludes thus :—" We hope that the glo-
rious impressions made by recent events will have
contribated to allay the unhappy disunion which
has of late /Recalled, .and that the same Chamber
of Deputies which formerly opposed its veto to the
goveramental proposals will now support the
government in fulfilling the important tasks re-
lating to Slesirig-Holstein, Prussia, and Germany.
Should events of a more critical nature than the pre-
sent arise, the government will certainly not await
the exhaustion of the present financial resources, bat
will annunon the representatives of the country in
the hope that an active and patriotic support will be
obtained from them."
