PRUSSIA.—The latest news from Berlin will be
found in the following letter from our correspondent,
dated the 19th Mat. :
The report that the cabinet will attempt to dissolve the
Constituent Assembly pies ground ; but there is another
fearful report—or rather something more than a report—in
ekeektion in well-informed quarters ,• and it is not at all
improbable that, if mitten be tarried much further by the
send party, the National Assembly will take one more step
—a truly eventful one—end issue a palmettoe to the army,
declaring that orders emanating from ministers now lying
wader the 11111 of high treason are no longer binding.

The payment of the members of the National Assembly
still continues by means of voluntary loath to the president
on the part of several rich members. Judging by the host
of addresses to the Natioaal Assembly, it would appear that

AUSTRIA.—The accounts from Vienna are to the
16th instant. The execution of Messenhauser took
plus on that day. He was to have been hanged,
bett late on the previous night the sentence
was changed, and the unfortunate man died
a soldier's death. This commutation of the
manner of the execution was all that the
frequent and urgent intercessions :of Messenhauser's
numerous friends and relations could obtain from
Prince Windischgrhtz, who would not even grant a
respite to wait for the emperor's decision on 'petition
to pardon the offender, which, with a deputation from
the municipal council, wu forwarded to °inmate. The
state of siege continued, but large bodies of troops
were daily leaving for the some of war in Hungary.
The remainder were about to be quartered in Moe.

any moment might be subjected to a bombardment.
It is stated in the Spenerselts Zeitung of the
19th instant, that the three murderers of Latour were
to have been hanged on the 17th.
The same journal asserts that the Hungarian army
is 220,000 strong, including 100,000 regular troops.
Three civilians (awarding to the above journal) were
shot at Vienna on the 16th, by order of a court
martial

Thu HOP DuTT.—An adjourned meeting, in
favour of the repeal of ibis duty, was held on Thursday
lest, F. B. Elvy, Esq., in the chair, at which there were
from thirty to forty planters present. Mr. Elvy proposed
memorialising the numry to repeal the war duty, and
said that Lord John Russell and Sir C. Wood would
listen to what they had to say. Ho (Mr. Elvy) believed
that muck expense might also be laved in collecting the
duty, as there were offieers running about the country at
salaries of 8001. a year, looking after the assistants, wham
salaries might well be cut down. One of thaw officers had
found fault with an assistant for allowing 21ba. weight in 34
pockets. He opposed taking off the whole duty from the
feu of free trade, as the foreigners bad no tithes or poor-
rates to pay. Mr. G. Osborne (Maiden) said, now that
many of the planters were in a ruinous state, and after
thirty years of pew, he thought they might fairly
apply for the repeal of the war duty, although he thought
that the repeal of the whole duty would be injurious to the
planter. He therefore moved for the appointment of a
eammlttee to memorialise the Treasury. The motion has-
fag been carried without opposition, all but about a dozen
peewees lea the room, and some difficulty arose as to the
appointment of a committee. Mr. Punnet* declined to
becalm, looking at the present protection duty as
he thought they ought to get rid of the whole
noise duty. Mr. T. Whits (Kenwards) said that he could
sot mike cat where all the breign hops were to come from,
awl he did not think five tons of foreign hops had been
imported. After some further oonvenation, it was deemed
beet to let the matter drop altopthso.— Sava Eastern
