GERMAN Y.
FRANKFORT.-0n the 23th instant, M. Von
BeckLmth, the finance minister, intimated to the Na-
tional Assembly that the different departments of the
central government have in hand sums of money,
amounting in all to 2,882,460 florins. In reply to a
question put to him, M. Peucker, the minister of war,
stated that the ceremony of doing homage to the
Vicar of the Empire, ordered to be performed
re the fith instant, by the German troops,
had been duly celebrated everywhere, though with
sonie modifications in the form. Hanover is the only
exception, but there a grand parade will be held as
the expression of homage. In Prussia the ceremony
was performed only by the troops, which constitute
the contingent to the army of the confederation ;
but all the Prussian troops wear the national co:kade,
and the Prussian government has declared that all its
disposable troops are ready for the service of the
central power the moment they are called upon.
prussic has in substance, though not in form, obeyed
the decree of the Assembly. M. Vogt expressed
dissatisfaction at this statementceremony of do-
inghomage ought to have been more strictly enforced.
fleckscher, the Nlinister of Foreign Affairs, in re-
ply to 31. Weaendonck, stated that the minister accre-
dited by the central power to the French government,
bad received instructions to demand the extradition
of the Germans arrested at Paris, for having taken
part in the insurrection of June. M. Schmerling
having been questioned respecting the revocation
of the prohibiuon issued by the Austrian govern-
ment against the exportatioa of the precious
metals from its territories, stated that thc
Austrian government represented the measure
as being merely temporary and forced upon it by po-
pular excitement; and moreover intimated that the'
question had been referred to a committee of the diet,
which had recommended the immediate revocation of
the prohibition. M. Eisenmann suggested that the
central power should invite the Austrian government
to adopt a separate administration for ita provinces
which form an integral part of Germany ; and also
that the assembly should declare it to be the intention
of Germany to defend Hungary against Croatia The
assembly then proceeded to open the special discussion

The (%,I”foie Journal of the 27th instant states that
)l. Compel has declined to accept the office of Minister
for the Central Power at the Hague.
PRUSSIA.--The bill for the suppression of illegal
and turbulent meetings of the people, which was pre-
sented to the constituent assembly on the 23rd inst.,
was to htve been debated on the 24th, but, at the
request of some opposition members, ministers con-
sented to postpone the discussion till the 28th (yes-
terday). The ground assigned for the postponement
is the expediency of taking from the measure all
appearen, e of being a piece of legislation for a special
case. The conduct of the ministers on this occasion
is praised by all. Though grossly insulted and per-
sonally attacked, they have conducted themselves
throughout with unimpassioned dignity. The care
with which, in proposing the bill against tumultuous
assemblies, they have avoided infringing the right of
the subject to meet for political discussion, is also
generally gratefully acknowledged.
The preliminary investigation by. the police into
outrages at Charlottenburg has terminated. The in-
culpated persona have, with nine exceptions, volun-
tarily surrendered themselves.
An aggregate meeting of the different clubs of
Berlin was held at the 'Liken on the evening of the
23rd. The subject of discussion was the bill for the
suppression of tumultuous and armed meetings in the
oren air. A petition to the constituent assembly,
praying for the rejection of the measure, was adopted.
AUSTRIA.—We have received Vienna news pipers
to the 23rd inst. (inclusive). On the 22nd the follow-
ing questions were put to the Minister of the Interior
in the Constituent Diet : 1. Have England and
France interfered in the affairs of Italy ? 2. What
pert have those powers taken in the negotiations at
Milan? 3. What part has the German central
power taken in those negotiations? 4. What course
do oar own ministers intend to adopt? M. Dob-
blhoff prefaced his answer by stating that M. Wee-
senberg, the President of the Cabinet, had arrived
the day before, and would have been present had he
not 'been indisposed from fatigue. M. Dobblhoff
added, that as the questions related to matters not be-
longieg to his department he could not answer them
in detail. The French and English ambassadors had
overtures to propose to the Austrian govern-
ment relating to the affairs of Italy, but
they had not been received. The part pro-
posed to be taken by the French and English
governnu nt, was more properly a mediation than an
intervention. With regard to the central power in
Frankfort, ministers only knew that it sympathised
with Aestria. The central power was to send an
agent to Marshal Hadetzki. M. Reichel then asked
the Minister of the Interior whether the government
inteeded to recognise the French republic? M.
Dobblhoft replied, " The government of Austria does
Cot merely intend to acknowledge the French re-
public; it has already, in a great measure, actually
recognised the French republic, for communications
have been opened with the French government, and
on Sunday last the French minister was officially
presented to his Majesty."

HAMBURG.—Our correspondent writes aa follows :
Aro. 2.s.—The blockade of the Elbe is not
kept up very strictly. One of the Danish frigates was seen
mar the T. eel a few days ago, while Hull steam-vessels,
wito cargoes on board, following in the wake of Dutch, are
arriving. Some colliers, too, found their way without
being molested by the blockading squadron. To those
easels who sail from here time is allowed up to the 15th
proximo, and to such ss Are bound across the Atlantic to
the 30th proximo. Trade, however, is very dull. The un-
tertainty of this state of things, and the unsettled state in
the interior of the country, prevents merchants from launch-
ing out in any enterprise. We have had a great deal of rain
sad thunder-storms since last Sunday. Yesterday the
lightning struck several places in the city and environs, and
killed a person on one of the river islands. Our political
horizon is quiet; but we are anxiously looking forward for
the next convent, supposed to meet on the 31st inst., when
the senate is to lay the new law of election to constitute an
*sr stably before the citizens.
