PRUSSIA.—Oar correspondent write.:
BERLIN. Malice 28.
The debate is the psragnph of the address relating
to the German quit c ime to a close to-day in the
almond Chamber. It was listened to eagerly from full
tribunes. All the amendments were thrown out, and
the project of the committee passed by a majority of
to 149. An amendment of Muller (Zell), which
proposed. the recogaition of the German fatdamistal
hte, was only lost by a minority of 2 ; 184 against
186. Von Mermaid and Vineke, were the main
speakers for theproject; Rodbert4 and Kirehmtn
against. Ministerial explanations were interwoven.
Von Arnim made efforts to lift the heavy unpopularity
wbich bag settled upon him, by declarieg that the
government were resolved upon standing by the prin-
ciple of a people's chamber in the German constita-
tion. Count Brandenburg said that it was the

Germany, with the cc-operation of Atistria, if risi-
ble; and, if that were impracticable, then to }bras tone

MU civic guard of Breslau bas been &solve& by
order of goverment, os the ground that they n fa•ed,
in the person of their colonel, to disperse a procession
which vru headed by a men bearing the red republi-
can Bag. The civic guard hue denounced this step
on the part of the government as illegal, and have
passed a vote of thanks to, and conldence in, their
colonel, Dr. Engelman.

FRANKFORT..-Our iotelligwee from this city is
to the 26th inst., on which day the National An embly
voted sections 63 to 68 of the constitution for Germany.
Those motions determine further the duties of the
central power with reference to the maintenance of
the ict. rnal and external peace of the German empire,
ied the training and carrying out of measures for
promoting and securing the unity of the German
fatherland, and rPtridating its affairs in com-
mon. The Assembly repolved to postpone the
dismission of the sections relating to the council of
the empire until after tF.o debate on the question
whether the supreme authority be conferred on one
person or an a directory. Several sections referring
Ito the two houses of the Diet were paned, amongst
others, one conferring on the smeller Mates F greater
number of votes in the Upper House no long as the
German pertions of Austria took no part in the Ger-
man confederate state. This section was voted by a
majority of 290 to 231.
The number of members of the Upper Home
(House of States) is fixed at 192. Prows is to have
40 ; Austria, 38 ; Bavaria, 18 ; Saxony, Hanover, and
Wortemberg, 10 each ; Baden, 9; and the other
thirty-two states and free cities from six members to
one each. With reference to the section above
alluded to, the four smaller kingdoms will receive an
augmentation of two members each, and fire other
states of from two to one each.

It is averted in poliVcal circles that the opposition
of Austria to the resuming of hostilities with Den-
mark is principally occasioned by its unwillingness,
and, it may be added, inability to supply its army
contingent to Germany.
In order to procure sailors for the German Her t, the
central executive have issued circulars in the eltiet
German porta on the Baltic, offering 10 thalers
monthly (11. 10e.) to first class seamen, 8 dialers to
second class, and 6 thalers to third class. A special
commission, nominated by the central minister of elm-
mares in Frankfort, will proceed shortly to Hamburg,
in cram to make arrangements (in ease the latter city
should be included in the German customs line)
respecting the Custom-house entrepot, or, in ease it
should wish to remain a free port, respecting the lint
points for establishing the customs line at the rear of
the city.
BADEN.—The government, to the str pries of all
parties, have conferred the order of the Grand Cross
of Baden on Herr von Schmerling, the Austrian ple-
nipotentiary in Frankfort. The favour bestowed on
Herr von Schmerling is the more remarkable, inas-
much as the Baden cabinet is opposed, or pretends to
be opposed, to the plans of Austria respecting the su-
preme head of Germany. It was expected that the
trial of Struve and Blind, the two republican leaders,
would have terminated on the 26th inst. AO impos-
ing body of troops has been stationed at Freiburg, in
order to prevent any disturbances during the Wel
BARONY.—In direct opposition to the instructions
already forwarded by the government to their pleni-
potentiary in Frankfort, the Second Chamber voted
on the 22nd instant, a motion unfavourable to the con-
templated organisation of the central upper house of
the German empire, against the conferring of an ab-
solute veto on that home, and the fixing of the elec-
toral qualifications for it at fifty thalers direct taxes.
The chamber resolved also that the government be
urged to replace the instructions already sent to
Frankfort by others of a contrary nature.
