BERLIN, MARCH O.
Every one is absorbed by the newt; which came
yesterday fram Austria. You will have received
directly the intelligence that the Kremsier Diet
has' been dissolved, a constitu•ion octroyee with
two chambers, and a high electoral qualification;
seven of the deputies delivered over to the kw, and
four of Latour's assassins executed.

In oonseqnenee of the Danish notification of the
cessation of the armistice of Malmiit, the Central
lgovernment bas agreed with the Prussian to move
forward 20,000 men to the frontier. Prussia furnishes
10,000, which are not to be of the guard this time,
but of the line regiments. Tne remaining troops will
be furnished by the other north German states, and
7 battalions by Saxony.

FRANKFORT, MARCII 7.
The much talked of coldiVon between the Aus-
trians and the Left, which has never had an exist-
ence if " coalition " implies a definite compact be-
tween two parties, is more and more in danger if
leading to no result. The Left, true to their princi-
ples, world have accepted a directory instead of at
emperor, but they demand a Oren and united oet-
fral and to this Austria is as resolutely
opposed as the whole mob of little German move-
reigns. The Left, with the assistance of the Aus-
trians, have gained a complete victory in the first de-
bate on the electoral law, but it now appears that ate
friends and successors of Metternich haws
only sought to make the Left their du=
supported liberal opinions on the
they
of the electoral law, with a mental ree
servation that they might assail them on the second.
This is the reason why the Left insist upon h:11
the electoral law read a second time before the s
reading of the constitution comes on. Every time
that they have made this proposal, a majority of the
Austrians have voted against them. The cionsequenee
is, that the whole of the Left now see clearly that the
Austrians have only beets trying to gain time, it
order to act at last as their private interests may
dictate.

Whilst the so-called coalition is thus evaporating,
the ultra reactionaries are making approaches to the
party who are for Prussia and an emperor. One
of the ultra leaders, M. Ebel, of Munich, said is
a-recent speech that if Austria d:d not promptly and
unequivocally declare what it would be at, he and his
Mends would vote for a German constitution without
Austria. He added: "We wish to see Austria it
into Germany, but if Austria does not
desire to become part of Germany, then we wish to
emiltiermany organised without Mettle." Since this
speech was delivered the Right have been flattering
themselves that their point is carried—that the ultras
will five them a majority. Bat they arc premature
in this; for the ultras will take got?' care not to sup-
port such a constitution of the empire as Prussia cos
templates. What may be their final declaration it is
not easy to foresee, but it assuredly will not be.
"Long live the King of Prussia, Emperor of Ger-
many!"
The present state of affairs, however, increases the
courage of the Prussian party, both is the Assembly
and out of doors. Many who have hitherto leaned Is
it in secret now declare for it openly. Two members
of the committee on the constitution, who have hither-
to been opposed to an hereditaryemp.ero-, •
acquiesced in the hereditary principllty, erit.
