GERMANY.

PRUSSIA.—The Berlin journals of 29th ult. have
arrived. Although the general impression is
that the ministry unwillingly consented to carry oet
the decision of the constituent Assembly revs-nib;
the circular to the army, nevertheless the acts sall
professions of the cabinet have removed a load of
anxiety and apprehension from the mind of the
public, and have given satisfaction to all parties $•
oept the ultra-radical and the ultra-reactionary sews
The former will now find it more difficult than err
to promote an emeute on a large scale, and still sites
difficult to give it a chance of success, whilst the
latter must see that both the King and the ministry
are opposed to them, if not through conviction,
at least through policy. The crisis has now pealed;
but it was a fearful one. In order to
the good feeling engendered by the read
ministerial declaration, each member of the Wirt
has either already forwarded, or is about to forward,
a circular to his subordinates, urging them to co-
operate with him not only in preserving order and
tranquillity, but also in maintaining and consolidw
ing the newly-acquired freedom and liberty-11
other words, to refrain from all reactionary move-
ments and tendencies. It was asserted that Lord Pal-
merston has expressed his dissatisfaction at the
obstinate refusal of the Danish government to allow
of the slightest modification in any of the conditions
of the truce with Prussia. However, it behoved the
Prussian government to know what they were abert
when they formally signed all the clauses of the armis-
tice. As Denmark did not recognise the central execntir
of the German empire, at the time the truce was rati-
fied, it is not bound to lend a willing ear to the ikr
mends made tor alterations in that truce. But Den-
mark is also violating some of its provisions by esta-
blishing, for example, a sort of government in Sander`
burg, the chief town in the isle of Alsen, under the
name of a " direct commission." It is probable that it is
against some such step asthis that Lord Palmerston has
protested ; and hence the somewhat confused rumour
above alluded to. On the other hand the Schleswig.
Holsteiners maintain their illegal provisional govern-
ment in spite of that article of the truce which de-
clued it was dissolved. The soldiers who have re-
turned from Schleswig are unanimous in stating that
they were looked upon by the inhabitants as foes, and
not as lriends and brothers come to defend a Jamul
cause.
Several members of the Berlin Constituent Anew'
bly came armed to the sitting, forgetting that that
body had placed itself under the protection of the
people of Berlin, as ill inclined to entrust their sets
keeping to such unsubstantial guardians.
FRANKFORT AND BADEN.—According to
the latest intelligence from the Baden Oberland, pub.
lished in the Frankfort journals of the 29th, the 14"
publican movement is all but entirely arrested there.
The remaining insurgents have fled from the niutb•
bonrhood of Muhlheun, which was taken possums
of by the military on the 26th. All the members d
the " Provisional Government of the German Bo'
public" (Fiala, Muller, Braun, and Stampfor) have
retreated to Liestal, in Switzerland (Bale Campsgt
It appears that Struve was not shot, as stated in
