According to letters from Berlin of the Ilth inst. the
chief topic of conversation in all political circles was the
recent attack on some members of the constituent assemble
in that city, on leaving the chamher. Petitions had
already arrived from various places in favour of
transferring the assembly to some other town,
where it might carry on its discussions in perfect
freedom. The late attack has been made the subject of
discussion in recent rit:ioge of the aldermanic corps and of
the town council, and has given rise to a division between
the two. The former urged the latter to join in a mutusl
address to; the assembly, denouncing the outrage in question
as a crime. The common council not only refused to assist
in drawing up a mutual address, but took the opportunity
to publish a politi.al confession of faith, in which regret is
expressed, tnat in consequence of defective civic ar-
rangements a greet number of inhabitants of
Berlin were excluded from the franchise ; and in
which, 1230reover, it is declared that the common council,
in recognising the revolution of March as the source of the
political regeneration of Pru,sia, will firmly maintain
the arquisitions by that revolution, acquisitions (it
is added) in which the above council discovers the pecu-
liar bases of the c •ns.itutional monarchy and of true
popular liberty. After making ttese declarations the com-
mon council a serene* its determination to oppose anarchy as
the incentive to ,eactieen, and prom's s to du all in its power
to ameliorate the condition of the working classes. The op-
po,ition in the diet has drawn up a list of members f r a new
ministry, in peito; they are the following : Pinder, T emme,
Kirehmaner, Iteichenbach, Berends, and Leydel. At a nu-
merously attended meeting on the 10th inst., of the members
of the Prussian Constituent Assembly, it was resolved to
urge the government to take the are restart. steps for securing
the freedom of de hate, and the personal security of the mem

unremitting activity. Several ironmeestere in and about
Konigsberg have discharged their workmen.
BAVARIA —The Munich correspondent of the
Cologne Gazette gives a melancholy account of the

warm support in the Chambers.
