GERMANY.

DECLARATION OF THE FRANKFORT NA-
TIONAL ASSEMBLY IN FAVOUR OF AN
HEREDITARY EMPEROR.

FRANKFORT.—Our intelligence from this city
is of March 27. It brings the important anomalies-
ment that, on the afternoon of that day, the National
Assembly decided, by a majority of 4 (287 to 263), in
et the her.d taryshm of the German imperial
re With imbrues to the question of the supreme
Germany there were three motions before the
mss. The first (proposed by the left) was to the
Abet that the ezecutave power be conferred on a
=alihie president, chosen by the people fir a
of four yeses, every German being eligible.
seas rejected by a majority of 400 to 130. The
messed proposed to bestow the dignity of supreme
heed of Gummy on one of the reigning German
princes. This was carried by a majority of 279 to
235. The third declared that dignitary hereditary in
the house of the prime on whom it will be conferred,
the herediterjahip to be in the male line, according to
the rights of primogeniture. This was carried by a
majority of 287 to 263.
TU Assembly then voted the remaining paragraphs
relating to the supreme head of Germany. Those
sections declare that his titl. shall be Emp?ror of the
Germans; that his residence shall be at the seat of
the central government ; that he shall have a civil
list, azd that he shall declare war and peace, appoint
ministers, &c.
On the 26th Met the Natioral Assembly voted sec-
tions 96 to 130 inclusive of the constitution for
Germany. The Assembly declared, by a ma-
jority of 383 to 127, in favour of conferring on
the hued of the empire a suspending veto, and not, as
proposed by the majority of the constitution com-
mittee, an absolute one. The above sections referred
exclusively to the Diet
In the note addressed by the Baron Von Gagers
to the vicar of the empire, and tendering his resigns-
tion, he rtetts that when he was summoned by his
imperial highness to take office, be came to an under-
standing with his former colleagues respecting the
political basis of his ad minis ration, and decided in
establishing the following : " let. That Germany
should be constituted a c mfedemto state. 2nd. Tt at
Austria should not take part in such state. 3rd. That
the relations of Austria to Germany should be re-
serve' d for further discus-ion &Per the organisation of
the twin empires. 4th. That the vicar of the empire
be mutated to co-operate in rendering those relations
as intimate as pose ble in a political and material
point of view. Stla. That Au-trig should place no
otlstacl,s in the way of the organisation of Germany,
according to the mode she may prefer, and parti-
cularly in ease the pos-essor of the Prussian
throne should be placed at the head of Cr. rwnny as
the hereditary chief; and 6th. Tbat an ambassador
should proceed to Vienna or Olmutz, in order to cul-
tivate friendly and federal relations, to give explana-
tions respecting the steps taken in Frankfort, and to
prepare for future ones.
The baron then proceeds to state that the new
ministry, finding that his imperial highness did not
ohjcet to that programme, entered upon office ; that
cneamstances arose to show that the constitution, as
prepared by the committee of the National Assembly,
was not one which Austria considered suitable f r
her, and that ministers, after the rejection of Herr
Welcker's motion for the adopting of the constitution
and the elet:tion of the King of Preemie, did not con-
sider that they ought to remain in office. The baron
next observes that the resumption cf hostilities with
Denmark is probable; that the larger at ates of Germany
only obey conditionally the ordonnances of the provi-
sional central executive; that Austris, in a particular
manner, has declined acknowledging their validity;
that Germany, in case of war, could hope but for
little assistance from Austria; that Bavaria end
Saxony, encouraged by Austria, persist in their op-
position to the ordonnances of the central executive;
and that the ton. payment of the contribneons towards
the formation of a German fleet renders such forma-
tion questionable. In orrecluvion, the baron, after do'
Glaring that the power of Germany is based on that
of Prussia; that the latter, after the rejection of
Welcker's motion will not probably afford the tame
support to the antral executive; and that by this re-
jeetion the Assembly has become so divided that it is
fir the present unable' to come to a due decision
respecting the constitution and the head of the em-
pire (unless a circled majority on principle be
formed sgain), tenders his resignation and that of all
his colleagues, including the under-secretaries.
PRUSSIA.—Our correspondent writes:
BERLIN, Maws 27.
Although the deep public disgrace into which
Count Arnim has dropped seems to single him out u a
doomed minister, I have not hear dos yet of any probable
successor to him. Bunsen would be the man for the
right; but the kirg would regard his appointment as
too great a concession to the old majority at Frank-
fore, and Banton would not act with to arbitrary a
set as the Brandenburg-Manteuffel ministry. The
same may be said of Vincke, who is also spoken of es
a possible premier.
To do away with the bad effect that nti At follow
at Frankfort,
in consequence of the rejection of Mul-
ler's motion for recognising the " Grund-rechte,"
thrown out yesterday by a majority of 2, the co: ser-
satire party protest against their beetle votes being
interpreted as an opposition to those fundamental
rights preclairced by the German corstitution, and
confess that their mien ion was simply to retaliate on
Muller and his friend, for having first promised to
vete for the constitution of the bth of December, and
theta backed out of that engagement.
The paragraph of the address relating to Denmark
was to-day discussed, and pas.ed in the Second Cham-
ber. With this and the remaining sentences, which
raised no debate, the deliberations of the house on the
address have closed. The amendments were all re-
jected with considerable mnjorities.
Tt.e news of the extraordinary concentration of Rus-
sian troops at Kalish, and their extension along the
Samna frontier, has come in a sufficiently genuine
shop to occasion a fresh interpellation from Count
Drees, to be notified to the minister of foreign affsirs.

AUSTRlA.—According to the latest accounts from
Hungary, Pear wardein and Ssegedin are still in the
hands of the insurgents, notwithstanding all the as-
sertions tl the contrary. The Magyars have also
appeared on the banks of the Danube, and taken
Bap. According to the 00-Dmitrehe Post, Jella-
chtch has taken the command of the army in the
Theis (after it had been joined by the Bernina, who
were rationed in front of Szegedin), and marched in..
the direction of Debreczin, the head-quarters of Kos-
suth and the Magyar government Baron Hammer-
stein has advanced to Nyiregyhass, eight leagues
from Debrecein. Peohner is in the neighbourhood of
Grosswardein. It may be stated here that the ap-
to Debreczin are extremely difficult at all
Yntreistesrionlarly in rainy weather. The Berlin
Dgac Reform of the 21th inst. announces, in a
Path correspondence of the 29nd, the captors of the
strong fortress of Comorn by the imperialists.
