GERMANY.

PRUSSIA.—We have Berlin journals of Sept. 11.
It wee said is well-informed political circles that the
King would sot sake known before the 14th hie de-
cision respecting his acceptance or non-acceptance of
the resignation of ministers. It is useless to give all
the reports current respecting the supposed members
of the future cabinet, bet it may be stated that 8111
kinds of combinations will be tried before recourse is
had to that party in the comaiteentassembly to when
the defeat of ministers may, be chiefly attributed.
The coneervatin journals insinuate that many saw
bets of the amembly were influenoed in their voles by
the attitude and threats of the vast crowd that bed
coagregated all about the Sing-Academia. The
constitution his been voted by the Schleswig-Heinen
assembly, and sanctioned by the provisionel govern
men.
On the night of the Bth a popular serenade to the
deputies of the Left was gives is fast of their club.

His Pardon Mejesty (in conjunction with all the
Zollverein Mies) hes issued a decree subjecting to as
increased duty, ken Sept. 16 to Deo. 31, 1848, a
variety of foreign articles, of which the following are
the principal: silt, silk stockings, lane, shawls,

ditional duty of 8 thalers (IL 45.) per cwt.=
combing yarns are exempted from the

against Pianos for offering a premium on the eyed
of certain goods.

AUSTRIA.—The Vienna journals of the Bth inst.
have arrived, and contain no nodes of anticipated
ministerial changes. In the assembly on the 7th,
Dobblbofftin answer to a question pet by
as to how the law abolishing vanalage and
burdens, would be carried into effect, and whether
with or without the instrumentality of the mown,
stated that nothing could be settled on that point,
the question being a esnetiadionel one, and to be
determined by the ecastittitioe. The aspect of the
:13=o-Croatbut question looks gloomy. The
of Bran has declared, in answer to a
question addresed to it by the Hungarian Minister of
War, that it will observe strict neutrality between the
Hungarians and the Croatians, and that it will de-
fend the fortress to the last extremity, until the
Em r. gives ceders to deliverm it up to one party or
. It adds, that it con the plasia-gof ten
companies of Hungarian national guards in die for-
tress as a violation of the neutrality, and as a declara-
tion of war against the Croatians, against whom the
garrison dealer's it will not combat. Thea Ey to
the Hmarian Minister of War is si by
the cdl and all the oMoers in the and
they request that be will forward the deennant to

the harks hoe honed a circular stating that the
insurgent Creations had been defeated, and that their
camp et Perim bad been taken after a two hours'

The deputation from the Hungarian Dist, sent to beg
of the Emperor to come in person to Perth, and above
all to bring the question between Hungary and
Croatia to an inns, was cot received by the Emperor,
and had returned to Pesth. Field-Marshal Bechtold
had been deserted V most of his corps u he was
about to attack St. Thomas, the troops saying thu,
would only attack by order of the Emperor. He
had, In ocregoenoe, been obliged to resign his com-
mand. Prince Fatsehazy has resigned. Comoro has
declared itself neutral, as well se Fem.
At Vienna the question of a customs union between
the entire Austrian empire and Germany is begin-
ning to excite the attention of the press and the
public. Even the free traders, although ni conarily
opposed in principle to all such unions, are in favour
of the above one, on the ground that it will throw
down a number of minor commercial barriers, leaving
the more important ones to be rew oved at a more suit-
able period.
On the night of the 6th inst. them was a torch-
light procession io honour of Herr Borsch, whose
recent energetic speech in the Constituent Assembly
in favour of popular rights, or rather of the rights of
that body, has rendered him again very popular. In
one of the addresses to the above deputy it wits stated
that the people would stand or fell by the 15th of May,
and that behind the minority of the Diet the majority
of the people were reserving themselves for the last
expression of their opinions.

ber as their president.

the 9th at noon.

HOLLAND.—THE HAGUE, SEPT. 12.—The
Stoats Courant, of the 10 b, contains the twelve projects of
th., muddled fundamental law as they have been adopted by
both chambers of the States General. Then) twelve projects
have been an a:naively communicated to the provincial
states, which were to assemble without delay to proceed to

both chambers, are to form a double chamber. This double
chamber will to couvoked for about the 18th, to discuss
the new constitution, and in cam of its 'clop/ion it
will be again submitted to the first chamber. From
the majority of mates with which then projects have been
adopted in the first as well as in the second chamber, it is
exp. mod that it will meet with Neutral approbation from the
double chamber. The Stoats Courant of the 12th publishes
the names of the members elected by the provincial states
