GERMANY.

(TISLIORAPHIC DISPATCH.)
HAMBURG, THURSDAY, JAN. 9.
The commissioners have prolonged the term for
decision allowed to the Stadthotderate till next
Saturday.

Our correspondent at Dresden writes as follows:
DRESDEN, Jam 7.
The silence of the Prussian Prime Minister on and
since the re-opening of the chambers is of sad augury
for the truth of the statement that be has not gained
a single point in his conferences with the Austrian
Prime Minister, and that his policy has dragged
Prussia into a position from which all the energy and
hardiness of its people can hardly succeed to raise it.
Manteoffel's silence is the triumph of Austria.
The Prussian chambers—l speak more particularly
of the constitutional and liberal fractions—would
have accepted at Manteuffel's hands any result
which placed a barrier, however, slight to the
growth of Austrian influence in Germany. The
MICA among them foresaw plainly that their resist-
arum to the Mauteuffel policy involved the existence
of the Prussian constitution, and if persevered in
would be visited on the people by the withdrawal of
those small libertise which the sham oonstitution of
Prunes still affords.
With the plans for a general commercial alliance
with the other countries in Germany, the Austrian
government unite" a read wham for its ooloawa•

Lion and cultivation of Hungary, in the agricultural
wealth of which they perceive a mice which may be
made available for the restoration of their financial
credit and the payment of their national debt.
Prince Schwarsenberg is still here, and will remain
for the present. Dresden is (allot Austrian diploma-
tists of all ranks, from the premier down to the
lowest class of intriguants, of whom the Aestrian go-
vernment employs many. 'fhe heads which con-
cocted the commercial plans are said to be here also
—in the persons of a Herr Pltisterschmidt and a
commercial Councillor Hock.

The Saxon Court is very hospitable to the great
men assembled here. Bills, dinners, soiries, fol-
low one another with great rapidity. The great
men of the little states are quite unaccustomed to
such royal hospitality; the treatment they met with
in Berlin was not to be boasted of. But I fear that
they may prove to the royal finanoes of the King of
Saxony • plague as destructive as the locusts of
Egypt. A great ball is announced for to-morrow
evening.

The speech of M. Manteeffel, on the 7th, in the
Second Chamber, is very remarkable. He cries a
peceari most insolently over all that Prussia hu done
since 1848. The noble stand that the Hessians
have made for their constitution is called a
dangerous revolution of officials a revolution
made in dressing gowns and slippers; it is contrasted
contemptuously with barracade revolutions, which
suppose, M. Manteuffel intimates, at least courage in
the revolutionists. He says that Prussian policy has
reached its turning point ; that he hopes it will never
again be involved in a fog ; and that it must break
decidedly with all revolutionary principles.

BERLIN, Jairr. 7.
The following is the prioe'pal part of the answer
to the andres., proposed by M. Vineke and his party.
Alluding to the affairs in Hesse and Holstein, it is
I thus worded :

We conceive your Majesty's wise and magnanimous efforts
to procure for Germany a constitution worthy of her dignity
and position in Iturope, will be for a lons time if not for ever
frustrated, the honour of Prussia violated, her power ques-
tioned, aid a fetus prepared for her in which her freedom and
her national inspntance with all states must be meet
imminently endangered by the preparations which have been
made, and partly carried into effect, to suppress the rights
of two noble German races in Hesse Castel and in Holstein,
by the most oppressive and arbitrary proceedings, in the
primes of the Prussian petiole standing by in inns,
aa witnesses of these deeds. The adjournment of
the Chambers has made it impossible for us till
now to give utterance to these sentiments. In the meantime
this expression has become still more emphatically our duty
by the 'compulsive measures which have been adopted in
Heme, and carried into execution by Austrian and Bavarian
troops, under the eyes of a Prussian commissioner, and by
the astounding intelligence that the Schleswig Holstein
army is to be disarmed by Prussian troops, who have so
lately fought in the same cause by their side. Considering
all these circumstances, we deem it our bounden duty, in
devotion and loyalty to your Majesty's royal house, to lay
before your Majesty. abstaining from any further address,
our united humble petition.
That your Majesty will be pleased to make an end to
this system, by which the country is brought into this
jeopardous position.
As representatives of the Prussian people we can boldly,
at this solemn moment, assure your htsyety that your faith-
ful people will stand by your Majesty with their p-operty
and their Hess, and will meet every danger, and every earn.
Ce which such a change of policy may occasion with joy.
With deep devotion we remain.
Here follows the fifty signatures of the party.
