PRUSSIA.—From our own correspondent :
BERLIN, Not. 19.
To-day and to-morrow the sittings of the adminis-
trative council will be of a decisive nature • th• ques-
tion under discussion is the day on which ;he Reichs-
tag shall assemble—tle first step towards a future
German empire. It is generally reported that the
Kirg is entirely absorbed with the idea. that he
speaks of nothing el,e, and that he regards it as a
point of honour to be independent of Austria, at least
is one phase of the question.
Oa the other hand, I am told that Bodelechwingh.
who is the president of the administrative council,
does not believe in the possibility of a Reichstag
being assembled.
Public opinion is divided as to the fate which
awai.s the much talked of Reichstag; but it is quite
clear that much must depend on the degree of energy
Austria may exhibit if its proceedings should be
energetic and vigorous. The well known weakness
of the King's character makes us doubtful of the
result being. favourable to the establishment of a
German empire.
The differences of opinion which have existed with
respect to the place at which the Reichstag shall
meet have been removed, and it only remains to be
decided whether it is to be Erfurt. In one of the
latter sittings of the administrative council, the
Hessian ambassador proposed Cassel, but his proposi-
tion fell to the ground.
I am very glad to be able to confirm my
communication respecting the process against
Waldeck. Not a single voice has been
raised in defence of this shameless and dis-
graceful proses', while all who have the courage
to utter their ts on the matter are unanimous
in their co . A jurist, whose opinions ap-
proach ultrfreemesevalism, assured me that he was
aahained d his ammexise with a judicial administra-
tion which meld hued such an accusation upon such
an inquiry. And the went itself will find it a
task of no little ty to wrest from its own bead
the blow which it has itself struck. The well-
known Premien manoeuvre of throwing all
the blame from the shoulders of the go.
'ailment on to thine of, its subordinates, should
its measures have failed to succeed, is repeated in this
instance. The Constitutional Correspondent, in an
article on the subject, acquits the ministry of all, even
of moral, participation in the osboee. This lie, how-
ever, is too startling to be credited, and it is attended,
therefore, with a result contrary to that which was
expected from it.
BERLIN, Nov. M.
