report thereon. They believe that the object of the Bund
will he beat carried out legally by appointing a committee
carefully to examine what changes should be made, and
therefore name the following persons to accomplish this tusk.
The names follow.
AUSTRIA.
The letters we receive from Vienna, under the
date of the 10th, inform us that the ministerial
crisis was at an end for the present. The new con-
stitution will, it is expected, be promulgated shortly.
The Emperor of Austria left ShiMbrunn on the 10th
inst., on a tour through Galicia.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

So far from the question of the Duchies being
settled, it seems that the dilatory proceedings of the
Danish court have elicited a note from each of the
great northern courts. These notes are said to be of
a threatening character, insisting on an early settle-
ment of the question at present pending in view of
the European crisis expected in 1852.
The Fader/mat t says that an answer to Austria's
threatening note was despatched from Copenhagen
on the sth instant.

The rumours of a ministerial crisis arc revived,
and the Hamburg papers go so far as to say that
MM. do lteedtz and :%:olktc are about to leave the
cabinet, M. Jilliselt being appointed in the latter's
stead. However, as it has been agreed to postpone
in the Chamber all political debates on the ministe-
rial question until the 16th of the present month, it is
evident that all rumours of change must at present
be idle.

Our correspondent, writing from Berlin on the
11th, says:
" There is a real ministerial crisis, it appears, in
Denmark. The occasion of it, according to reports
worthiest of credit, appears to be this. About eight
(lays ago the whole cabinet adopted certain resolu-
tions with respect to the relations to bo maintained
bitween the German duchies and Denmark, espe-
cially touching the connection of Holstein with the
German confeucration. These resolutions had been

submitted to the king and acceded to. So much
being accomplished, the mvjority of the ministry
with fright shrunk hack from encountering (the cor-
respondent of the Prcosisehe Xcitung sa'-s) the con-
sequences of their own determination, which they have
not courage to lay before the imperial Diet. The
relations of the German duchies to the confederation,
their relations to Denmark, and the first principle
which Denmark must needs insist upon,—the real
integrity of her empire,—indeed, form a complica-
' tion of questions which sonic bold decision can alone
solve. But courage fails, or prudence interposes;
hence tho embarrassment of the Danish ministry.
Yet it may be that no change will take place at all.
Time, may continue to be the order of the
day for a while longer. The Danish question is
about the most puzzling one to diplomacy on record.
Though a speedy settlement of it is desired by all
parties, it will keep open, and wont bo closed. It is
obstinately bent on baffling all parties, and finding
a way out of its own."

BRAZILS.

[IfT ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.]

SOUTHAMPTON, Ocr. 14.
Arrived, the Tay, with Brazilian mails. She left
Rio on the 14th Sept. The Emperor opened the
Chambers in person, on the 13th Sept. The news
by the packet from the River Plate, was considered
favourable for the Brazilians. Admiral Grenfell
was blockading the rivers Parana and Uruguay.
An armistice had been proposed between
General ()rib() and tho Brazilians for seventy-
two hours; but, as the terms offered were not ac•
opted, hostilities recommenced at the expiration of
the time stated. On the 2nd Sept., notice having
been given to that effect, General Oribe had raised
the siege of Monte Video.
It is thought Oribe will be obliged to fly, as his
troops arc deserting whenever opportunity offers,
and joining the standard of Urquiza, who is coining
in great force. lle has been retarded in consequence
of heavy rains.
The Buenos Ayreans fired on the Brazilian squad-
ron on its way up the river; several shots struck
Admiral Grenfell s ships. After thirty shots had
been fired the Brazilians returned the tiro and
silenced the fort.
