GERMANY.

WURTEIBERG.—The Wurtemberg government
have not only refused to place the troops of the king-
dom at the disposal of the " regency of the empire"
(on the ground that those tioops are required for the
maintenance of internal peace and order), but have
invited the regency to quit Wurtemberg altogether.
The reply of the latter is to the effect the', if the Wur-
temb.rg government would openly side with the
National Assembly, no disturbances would cccur in
the kingdom, and consequently that the troops might
be employed in another way. The regency added that
they must remain in the country where the
National Assembly holds its sittings. That Assembly,
at a meeting with closed doors, on the evening of the
14th, referred the matter to the Committee of Fifteen,
wit► the request that the letter would on the suc-
ceeding day bring up a report. It was expected that
the National Assembly would either attempt to over-
turn the Wurtemberg government, as traitors to the
constitution, or remove to Baden. Meantime the go-
vernment have reinforced the garrison of Stuttgardt,
to which capital the king, eke? a long absence,
has returned. The Vicar of the Empire, en his bide,
has forwarded a note to the Wurtemberg government,
urging them to prevent the meetings of the National
Assembly, and to expel the regency from the country
altogether. Some of the minis'err, however, hesitate
about going to the extreme, so that a change of cabinet
is not unlikely. The king, it is understood, is calling
for energetic measures. The regency have officially
desired the "central executive" in Frankfort to vacate
their post.
RHENISH BAVARIA AND BADEN.— The
intelligence from Rhenish Bavaria is up to the 16th,
on which day the Prussian troops had appeared is
the vicinity of Durkheim and Neustadt, on the Hardt.
On the 14th there was a collision at liirchheins-
Bolanden, between some of the troops under General
von Brun and a body of the insurgents. The latter
were repulsed, with the loos of twenty killed. The
Prince of Prussia and Prices Frederick Charles
(his nephew) were present during the eon-
diet. The column under the command of the former
then pushed on as tar as the little village of Mann-
heim, where the prince fixed his head-quarters early
on the 15th. _ _

The Prussian., according to the latest accounts,
had seized on several towns at a short distance from
Maunheim (Baden), amongst others Ladenburg.
During the 15th the light hone of the advanced guard
bad penetrated u far as a little town called Kaferthal,
but it appeanaccording to all secounts,that they were
repulsed with considerable loss, their defeat being at-
tributed by the Frankfurt journals to their impru-
dence in venturing so far without the aid of artillery.
Daring the whole of the 15th a series of conflicts
had taken place between the Prussians and the insur-
gent republicans—the success of the former being
rather doubtful. Full particulars, however, are still
wanting. A great number of Bavarian troops had
arrived in Darmstadt, on their way to Rhenish Ba-
varia and Baden.
The military authorities of Mentz have refused to
allow the boats of the Dutch Company to pass further
up the Rhine than the above town, in consequence of
the company having refused to carry Prussian troops
to the Upper Rhine. It may be stated here that it
was only on the condition of not consenting to convey
Prussian troops that the bolts of the above company
were allowed by the present government in Baden to
proceed as far as Mannheim.
Tee National Assembly of Baden has issued a pro-
clamation denouncing the recent one of the Archduke
John of Austria as a tissue of falsehood and calumny,
and urging the people to resist their invaders to the
utmost.
The Stuttgardt regency have ordered General Mil-
ler, who commands the Reich's troops in Wurtemberg,
to obey exclusively their orders. The refusal of Gen.
Miller will possibly draw on his dismissal from com-
mand by the regency.
We have the fallowing news from Kaiserlantern of
the 14th. The division of General Webern, after a
brush with the enemy at Homburg on the 13th, took
op quarters there for the night, and on the next day
welled on a spot between Landatuhl and Kaisers-
lautern for cantonments. The division of Nit sewand
pent trated without encountering the least resistance,
to Kaiserslautern, where head-quarters have been
e:tablished, and has taken possession of the town and
environs. The country people are friendly ; but the
physiognomies of the town betray distrust and aver-
sion. The provisional government has vanished.
The Constituent Assembly has just nominated a
cew provisional government. Ater a ton 4 discus-
sion, it decided for a triumvirate, and chose Brentano,
Goegg, and Werner.
We have news to the 15th from Benshcim, which
state that the vanguard left that place at 1 a.m. to
meet the enemy. At 4 a.m. it was followed by the
artillery and Mecklenburg cavalry, and at 8 a.m. by
the Nassau troops, the Frankfurt battalion of the line,
three Prussian battalion., and two battalions from
Electoral Russia. At the moment when the despatch.
left (10 a.m.), a strong cannonade was heard in the
direction of Mannheim.
On the same morning a small body of dragoons
deserted from the insurgent army, and arrived on the
Hessian territory.
Acoording to a correspondent from Stnttgardt, in
the Independence Belye, whose letter is dated the
14th, we learn that the National Assembly, in its
private sitting, was unanimously of opinion that it
should not N ield to physical force.
In the Wurtemberg Chamber of Deputies, on the
morning of the 14th instant, Roemer stated that his
goverement no longer recognised the central power
established at Frankfort. The opposition, wishing
to take advantage of this declaration, moved that the
Wurtemberg troops under the command of General
Petteker, should be withdrawn forthwith. The urgency
of the motion,hawever,was rejected by 48 votes against
34. Roemer then modified his previous declaration by
adding, that he recognised the central power of
Frankfort in the same way that he did the regency
at Stnttgarde, implying, in other words, that he should
net independently of both. The civic guilds at
Heilbronn have only partially given up their arms.
With respect to the state of siege in the latter town,
the ministry declared that thus measure would be,
they trusted, of short duration.
AUSTRIA.—Vienna papers are to the 14th inst.
Bon has left the Banat, and gone to Hermanstadt.
The great victory which General Rukawina was
reported to have gained over the beseigers at Temes-
war, shrinks, acordiog to the Feather Zeilung, to a
skirmish, in which the Magyars lost 33 killed and
wounded.
In the west of Hungary, some day between the 12th
and 15th was fixed fur a general attack on all points,
so that we may expect soon to hear of something
decisive.

The Emperor Nicholas arrived, at five on the morn-
ing of the 14th inst., from Warsaw, by a special train,
atlintsky, and coLtinned his journey without stopping
to Cracow. The cur was accompanied by one of
his sons and Pukewitch, and would not atop at
Cracow but get on to the head-quarters of the army
in Gallio;s. At eleven on the same day the Arch-
duke William posted through Corbel, on his way to
Cracow to receive the emperor.
