I hear that it is at last decided that Austria is to
have it all her own way in the German 9oestion. The
ministers are said to have given in their resignatity,
which was not, however, accepted. A wens is re-
ported to have occurred bettere en the King and his
'deists, in which the remsnatrances proffered by the
latter met with no very gracious reception. It seems
that the journey of &duvet° to Frankfort bar been
completely fruitless. The Prince of Prussia accepts,
with the most dutiful acquiest toot, all Austrian pro-
poeals r and his royal hieners and the A?chfluke
Alhett will manage the affairs of the central power
with the most perfect harmony, not needing any nat-
ive, like the Schleswig commissioners, to settle their

C, I. Holges has just delivered his second decision
as umpire between the Danish and Prussian commis-
sioners en Schleswig. This time the English übi-
trator's verdict is evilest the Dine, and is cat Ally
mom equitable than the lost, which treated the paper
of the poor &hie swigets with nearly as little cere-
mony as Haynsu treated the Kossuth notes. All the
Danish erniAlts in Sch.eewig sent about their busi-
ness since March, 1818, had beta shipped at Copen-
hagen, duly provided with bills drawn on the Schles-
wig Holsteins treasury for the it pay, and all ready
to resume their place s,wh, n the Hanish commissioner,
Herr Von Tillisch, proposed that the said employes
should be reinstalled forthwith. Tae Prussian com-
missioner, Count Eu'enborg, opposed this extraordi-
nary pretension, and Colonel Hodies sided with him.
The second chamber commenced yesterday the task
of revising the constitution. laetead of beginning'

TO, first of these which raised discussion was the
King's right of making peace and war and concluding
treatise, which the 46th artiele concedes, with the-
condition that treaties of commerce, Si well as other
treaties which imp se burdens on the state or obliga-
tion+ on indivi•tual cif sans, should be submitted to the
chambers. The committee altered tt•is article by
adding the cane, " Treaties of years do not
require the consent of the chambers." In the
debate, needy all the leading men opposed
the amendment of the c.mm ttee. Even tte
etramontane Ri ichensperger of the extreme
right made a stand against the new
Tt e article was finally passed in its original
Witte, or rather in an equivalent bet clearer form pro-
posed by Bsdelschwirgh. The let and 2nd chambers
have agreed to take up dill'. rent chapters of the con-
stitution to avoid the it c •nvenience of discussing the
same question at the same moment. The first cham-
ber has been occupied yesterday and to-day in discus-
sing the freedom of the press. This is consigned in
tte followinr emphatic article of the cctroyd consti-
tution. " Every Prussian has the right by speech,
writirg, printing, and design freely 'o express his
tb•teghts. The freedom of d e press con under no
circumstances and in no manner be suspended or
abrogated." The committee confined the last
clause to the prohibition of the introduction of ci Imre-
ship ; in which f irm the article was carried. The last
clause of the article in which the right of assembly
is censigned, was struck out in consequence of the
ordinances passed by government which embxly the
same, and the ar isle was pa-seri, its substance re-
maining entire. Art. 28, which sanctions the riAt
of association was loft by the committee untouched,
but an amendment was proposed by Jordan to the
effect that the right of awcistior. should be regulated
by special Isevs for the maiotenanc of public security,
and that clubs shouln be subject to temporary prohi-
bition and limitations by law. This amendment, after
an animated debate, was carried this afternoon.

AUS fßlA.—L.test accounts from Vienna are to
Sept. 18.
The Vienna journals of the 17'h inst. announce
that the conferences relative to the affairs of Austria
have commenced, at which the Emperor presides.
Indisposition prevent d Haynau front attending.
The city of Milan also apperrs disFosed to reed to
Vienna a deputation to present i a submission ; the
deputation from Venice, already here, is endeavouring
to obtain its preservation as a free port, but u it was
1t as for the ask • of punishment that this freedom was
abrogated and more as au application of the new
priociples adopted by the commercial policy of
ministers, the success of the deputation appears more
than doubtful.
It was reported in Vienna that Count Stunner, the
Austrian ambassador, and Count Tetoff, the Russian
one, had left Constantinople in consequence of the
refusal of the Porte to surrender the leaders of the
Hungarian insurrection.
HUNGARY.— PE5711, Stn. 13.—0 n the even-
ing of the 12th inst. a frightful hurricane with
thunder and lightning burst over this city. Its effects
were terrific and destructive; all the windows, for
instance, having a westerly aspect, were dashed to
pieces by the hail, and the broken panes alone are
estimated at 200,000. The only persons bete who
have reason to be contented with the events of the
year are the glaziers, for first of all there was the
bombardment; then the illumination in honour of
Kenneth, when the mob made rare havoc with whole
rows of windows, and now— omne trinum perfeetum
—the devastation that has just been caused by the
elements. Quantities of cattle were being brought in
that were found killed in the fields. All the vine-
yards round and about the two cities of Perth and
Oren are utterly d strayed.
WURTENIBERG.—Oar latest intelligence is to
Sept. 18.
Oa the 16th inst. there was a meeting in Niirdlin-
gen of some members of the Bavarian and Wurtem-
berg Cheetah. rs for discussing the tactics to be pursued
by the left in both countries relative to the German
question, and especially the octroying attempts of the
governments. The result of the conkrence was that
the left of th- Bavarian Chamber is, in essentials,
agreed with the peletar party in Wurtemherg ; ean-
sequently, that it is resolved to hold fast to the
Fes kfort constitution, and to defend it against both
Pressian and Austrian intrigues. Prince Wallenstein,
Fetzer, Mohl, Rodioger, Schoder, Tafel, Zeller, and
use others were present.

FATAL EXPERIMENT IN SEWER-MAXING.—An W-

adepted by bias (bet not with the satire consent of his col-
league) veu to dig pits or shafts tote required depth at
intervals of several yards, connecting them afterwards by
tunnelling under the road from the one to the other.
Unhappily, the s-il in which the tunnelling was to be
performed was a mm fine light sand, not adapted for
such a procedure unli as extraordinary precautions were
taken; and the consequence was, that during the progress
of the work, several small dements of sand occurred, and
on Wednesday, one of the men employed, pereiiving the
dancer, »Geed to continue at work, sad thu very pro-
bably sewed his life. The other, after his departure,
adopted further precautions, and at the time of the sad
sent, had succeeded in laying all except the last pipe is
the tunnel in which the accident dirietly afterwards cm
eurred. The two men, Woods and Mickley, were taken
to their rupective homes immediately after their extrica-
tion, and were attuded by Mr. Morns, jou., who happily
fou-d that, notwitkwanding replete to the contrary, they
had sustained to injury beyond slight bruises. The other
two woo taken into Mr. Norman's stable, and every means
need fir their recovery, but the length of time which they
lay buried in the sand, which completely stopped their
breadths*, precluded ail chance of restoring them to anima-
