GERMANY.

PRUSSIA.—Our correspondent writes :
BERLIN, itiT 20.
General Wrangel has had one of the commot
oounclmen arrested and imprisoned. This has
thrown the municipal assembly into a state of great
agitation. Yesterday there was a meeting of the
common council, and one of the St.vlt Verordneten,
M. Eister, rose to ask the chairman, M. Bock, if he
knew what was to become of their colleague, M.
Klix. Tnereupon M. Bock answered, that the Bur-
gomaster Naunyn had been with him in the morning,
and communicated the startling fret that M. Klix
had been laid hold of under a warrant from General
Wrangel, and conducted to the Hans-Vogtei. Several
friends of the imprisoned burgess went in a body to
the jail to see him, but it was no easy matter to gain
admittance. Only Burgomaster Naunyn was let an.
Then a deputation of the assembly had visited Gen.
Wrangel. They asked the general in what their c 11-
league Klix had offended, and promised that if he
were let out of prison he should not open his month
in public till the elections were over, but they would
put him in a carriage and sand him out of Berlin.
Leaving it undecided whether Klix would
have preferred the banishment inflicted on him
by his friends to imprisonment by the com-
mander-in-chief of the Marches, I proceed with
the answer of the litter. All he could say
on this subject was that M. Klix had fallen under the
jurisdiction of the court-martial. Tee general had
permitted the preliminary electioneering assemblies
to take place under condition that nothing should be
done to transgress the law. He supposed that the
Stade-Verordneten would dissolve the assembly as
soon as it went beyond its allowed limit. That had
not been the case. Herr Klix had made an oration
encouraging the people to abstain from the elections,
and had also published a pamphlet inculcating the
KUM course. Therefore he, General Wrangel, had
ordered the arrest of Herr Klix, as he would of any
body else, and even of the burgomaster himself,
under such eircum,tancet. Upon this expla-
nation by the chairman, a rambling discussion
took place, in which all the blame was laid upon
the Illagatrat, instead of General Wrangel.
M. Prince Smith put an end to the debate by de-
cluing that for his part he saw nothing criminal
whatever in arguing the question of whether the
people should elect or not. This pitch of audacity so
alarmed the majority of the assembly, that they
drowned the speaker with their cries, and there the
interpi llation ended.
AUSTRIA.—Vienna papers are to the 18th :
The stick of the Hungarians from Comm
upon the Russian corps of Paskiewich, at Wait-
zen, which has been already alluied to as a
rumour, still furnishes the chief topic of news from
the seat of war. The scanty accounts go far to justify
the belief that in this battle the Magyars did justice
to their reputation in arms. The engagement took
place on Sunday, the 15th. The Russians were
driven back to Dana Kees. Now the An.etrians cams
an to the rescue, and crossed over from the right bank.
Even Ramberg received orders to march from Ofen
upon the enemy. The end is represented to have been
the retreat of the Hungarians to Comoro. Waitzen
is some forty or fifty miles from Camera; Pesth
about the same distance.
Dana Kees, as the Wiener Zeitung calls the place
to which the Russians were driven back by the sally
from Comorn, is between fifty and sixty miles from
that fortress, between Waitzen and Peel. The mys-
tery which hangs over this business may be hailed as
an omen of success for the Magyars. Chirpy, who
is recovered from hie wound in the neck, is reported
to have led the Hungarian troops.
BADEN. Letters from the Prussian head-
quarters at Friburg, of the 19th, in the Deutsche
Zeitung, state that the Prince of Prussia and the
Prince Frederic Charles of Prussia hive :left Fri-
burg for Rastadt. The bombardment of that fortress
was to commerce on the 20th inst.
