PRUSSIA,—The following is the letter of oar ear-
mapsodent :
MULLIN, Aram 17.
To-morrow closes the ens of the fourteen days in
which the Premien gown:silent has=ed an an-
lower to the Prussian nation on the c question.
In the interval sines the circular-nets of April 3, this
question has advanced with Friant strides towards its
solution without the aid of Prumis at all—rather in
spite of Prussia. Thirty of the German sts'es have,
through their plenipotentiaries, accepted the Frank-
fort constitution, and approved the imperial election
of the 28th of March. The declarations of the four

kingdoms remain behind. Wartemburg's adher-
ence to the circular note is by this time,
probably handed in. Saxony will be forced
by her chambers, Havover by her material interests,
into the great stream of mica. And even in Bavaria
a favourable diversion in tle, same direction is

seemently expected. Whet is left far Prairie to lei

bin for the lappnw off the ciersoarntio chums in the
central °hatter is too late. She most lump the con-
stitution or cry off altogether. The Inmost of the
National Assembly, the unanimity of the smell states,
have left no footing for the shuffling, diplo-
inessotennineleekmg of the Arnim' and

MantSuffels. The only pm-sable present issue then
is for Prussia to take up the peeition of Austria,
to hold off sad protest, for, assuredly, unless
MIS strange per =Maw alteration take place
in the king,-he will not be brought to take an oath to
the most liberal prostitution inMarope. To be sure
the royal will has made some jumps quits as sudden
and incongruous; bat it may be noted that men once
oared of liberalism rarely relapse. The question then
ocean, how long the people of all others who have
cried out loudest for the sake of Germany will be
bold off by a handful of royalists, and the prestige of
the house of Hobessollent from • to en

As I. the PIIISSISiI government impeding the
work of federation among the thirty States
which lave already declared for Flemlifort,
there can hardly bee doubt that viva war would be
the remit. What would became of the dominating
Neely is Prussia, ender such eiresnistaness, is too
visible. There ism irresistible pressure ea the part
of the national nsajarity tow/ode the Baadea-slaat,
and a feeling of enthusiasm which no amount of
bayonets can step.
To-day in the Second Chamber the delete was re-
newed upon the ministerial bill against the abuse of
the right of emaciation end assembly. The lest
clause prohibiting assemblies for mammal objects,
struck out by the committee, was also rejected by the
house, upon the ground that oonstitutionel meetings
were unconditionally allowed, and the object of the
bill was to guard against the misuse of such meetings.
The second clause proposed that all meetings for the
disemaion of public Efrain should be announced
to the police authorities twenty-boor bones at least
before WA, who am thereupon to give a ticket of per-
mission. The amendment of the committee stops a
loop-hole for evasion ea the part of the authorities, by
enacting that the polies are obliged to give perms
, nose This amendment was accepted. A much more
important amendment of Wenteel. a member of the
left-centre, was also accepted, which had the object of
protecting private =mews from the interference of
the police. He restricted the application of the claws
to meeting to which • üblie or general invitation
wee isseed. thee of the enhesse
mos.elby Gapers, with the object of confining the
of the notice to one person, was also car-
Eiotmajority of 2 (167 to 165). A second
t of Wenzel's, proposing six hours' notice,
lONA of twenty-feur, was carried. The second
=melt of the ministerial clause, forbidding
to be called under a false or under
=mph
name, was rejected. The bane
then divided on the paragraph, amended as I have &e-
-mbed, which was carried by a majority
.of 166
@gibed 164. I think this abstract of to-day s homi-
ness will give you a pretty decided notion of the im-
potence of the ministry in this chamber. On the
whole, the remit of the sitting has been highly satis-
factory. It has proved that the Second Chamber will
not be a party to afflicting the nation with a griping,
inquisitive, all-powerful police.
A promenader in the Thin-garten was set era
and robbed a day or two ago, for wearing a demos-
tic-looking hat. Yesterday several foreigners were
conducted out of different hotel, by the police,
their motives of residence being suspected. The
sister of Herr Wagner, editor of the ultra paper
Newt Praustivelt* Zeitssay, whose biting personalities
expose him to continual punishment, either of a legal
or a coarse kind, is said to have had her
intellects dhisi by an assault which was recently
made upon her brother, and to have destroyed her-
self in emereqeseee. Wagner'. paper certainly dis-
plays a mock greater amount of wit than any of its
Berlin contemporaries of the press ; its budget of city
news is greedily devoured, mid it performs the part of
a Punch here; the leading articles, I presume, are
read only by ultras.
AUSTRIA.—The appointment of Walden to the
head command of the army in Hungary, which we
announced some days ago, IA confirmed by the semi-
official Lloyd, as follows :
His majesty hes been pleased, ander date of the 12th, to

The loss of the imperialists bakes Waltzes is said
to have been very great. It would seem that Dem-
binski's object in occupying Weimenburg was to
open a communication with Percsel, whose aim, after
gaining pomession of Petervrardein, was to master
Pmeg. Weissenbarg is about half-way between
Vienna and Pang.
