A supplement to the Carleruhe paper contains a
notification from the finance ministry, to the ift cr

and the National Sink rag Fund had been eub: reed,
and a quantity of valuable paper subtracted. It adds :
"We request all authorities here or abr ad to seize
such pipe ra wherever they may be found; to arrest
the hollers or hatters if possiblA, and to inform us
immediately in either case. We at the same time
warn every one from taking such papers by negotia-
tion or otherwise, because the interest will not be paid
on them, nor will they themselves be cashed, official
steps having been already taken here to prevent even
the pat sibilty of such a thing."
PRUSSIA.—Our correspondent writes :
BERLIN, 'my 3.
_

The government has promulgated, under date of
June 29. two ordinances of the hirest importuner,
r. gulating the tight of assembly and freedom of the
pleas. 7h.so will ba submitted to the parliament
when it nee r, and in the meantime have the full
awhnrity of statute law. The ground uaon which
these edit ts rest is the 103 th article of the constitution,
which authorises the government to supply duiirg
the recess the 1-gislative wants of the country pro-
visionally. During the la t session, as a corollary to
the d bite which took place on the sweeping ordi-
dimmers e f the minister of justice in January, a reso-
lution was passed in both houses protest ng
against the constitutional latitude which was given
to this artiee, and denying to ministers the
right of legislating upon subjects of impnrtance,
even prose-locally, withiut parliament. But it
is suserfiuons to demand from the present
ministry respect for the opinion cf the nation ex-
pressed through their representatives. An attempt
wens made during the session to pass the ministerial
bills on the press and right of assembly through the
Second Chamber; the ty ar.nous clauses could rot be
forced through the legislative sieve, and were fiurg
bark like chuff and gravel into the faces of ministers;
and for doing their duty to the country the chamber
was dissolved. To do justice to the present ordi-
nances, thil are a decided improvement on the mi-
nisteriel bills, many cf the herein r features of which
have disspreared mitt:met her, while others have been
smoothed into a sufferable shape.
As the fn clam of the press is more affect d by the
temper of the government, and the fairness of the
tr.bottels before which it is judged, than by the letter
of the law. I shall not trouble your readers with an
analysis of the 43 clauses of the decree !elating to
Eris subj• ct, while it is so well known that even the
mildest press law, with a minister like Manteuffel
and a Berlin jury, might be converted iwo an intro-
ment of ruthless coercion. The right of assembly
decree is another matter, as the rules are few and
strictly defined, and their infraction tot of the vague
and compl z eharac'er of a press offence. Every
syllable !elating to the exercise of such a right
touches the political life of a people.
Notice of a meeting, where public concerns are dis-
cussed, must be given twenty-four hours beforehand
to the local pike authorities. The statutes of clubs
are to be handed in by the chairman within three
days after their enietinenf. and every requisite infor-
mation to be furnished. The periods of assembling

AUSTRIA.—News from Vienna is to July I.
The Vienna papers are occupied with passes on the
taking of Raab, and fulsome adulation of the young
emp roe, who wee certainly exposed to very little
danger in entering a deserted town six hours after the
vanguard of his army. Tile crossing of the Upper
Waag by the Magyais towards the Silesian frontier
has spread great alarm in the towns on the border.
From the north there is news of a great battle on
the 23rd and 24th, above Eperies, between the Rus-
sians, u-Aler General Cesdajew, and the Hungarians,
under Dembinski. According to the Cracow report,
after taro days of terrible bloody fighting, the Rus•
e;ans were completely beaten. The 2nd Polish
Legion distinguished themselves greatly. The Vienna
Liehograph;c Correpondenre, on the other band, while
reportieg equally a sanguinary struggle on the same
days makes it finish in favour of the Russians, and
tt..tts that the caps of Dembinski, amounting to
3.5,000 men, was driven back with the loss of 35 can-
non. The vieterr was, however, bought at an im-
merse sacrifice, 3,000 Russians having fallen.
Letters from Lemberg state that a new Russian
corps of invasion is about to penetrate Hungary from
Stry, through the passes of Klimiss and-Vertcska,
ni from thence gain the plain of the Theisa through
Mancacz. This is the same line of march which was
t 'ken in the early part of the year by General Barko,
wen lost one-third of hie army before he could effect
hie retreat. _ _ .

The heal-quarters of Paskiewich were, on the 25th
ult., at Karthau. Here there appeared from him a
truly Russian proclsmetion, promulgated by the im-
perial commissioner, Count Franz Zichy, in which all
the inhabitants are called upon to give up all arms of
every sort within twi my four hours, on pain of being
thrusted by the spe-rs of the Costacks, or hanged,
according to circumranoes. From the south we learn
that Perms' has crossed the Theis" and united his
c.,rps with the division of Bem's corps before
T.meswar. Bem himtelf is in Trausylvania. Upon
his return he dismissed from their plac, s those Hun-
garian officials who had persecuted the Saxons during
his almonre, and shot the priest Roth, known as the
promoter of colonisation from Wurtemberg. Anyther
priest, Wellm inn, destined to a similar fate, was im-
rardis'ely let out of prison on the arrival of Bem, who
forthwith turned out the government commisconer

Casale.
The Cossacks have, it is said, penetrated to Hatvan,
and even within twelve milts of Psth.
A acclnd ordit ance of Paskiewich's, at Kaschau,
commands the dal veting up of a'l Kossuth bank
twee within four times twenty-four hours, wider pain
of corporal punishment.
