PRUSSIA.—Beamr, Jesz 23.—M. Camphausen
has failed to form a cabinet likely to command a
majority in the constituent assembly, and has in con-
sequence resigned. M. llaiisemann has undertaken
the task, and in the attempt will receive, it is under-
stood, the support of the retiring minister. A depu-
tation from the Committee of Public Safety waited on
M. Cumphausen on the evening of the 20th, princi-
pally with a view to obtain such authoritative infor-
mation as might enable them to contradict disquieting
rumours which had been put in circulation. M. Camp-
hausen assured them that he had retired voluntarily
because he believed the Assembly not to be suffi-
ciently liberal—not to have sufficient confidence
in the people to support a ministry of his formation ;
that thero is no back-stairs influence frawaril(a)
about the King, who is resolute to curry
on the movement, and that no reaction need be feared,
and that there is no truth in the reports that a Russian
force had been concentrated on the frontier. Ilow
such a decided pnlitician as Hansemann is to form a
cabinet that will satisfy an assembly nit liberal
enough to support Camphausen's remains to be seen.
A Berlin paper says, " Certain information has
been received that the mach of the Russian army
into Prussia will take place within the next few
days, by the way of Czenstochow. Pontoons have
been forwarded to the banks of the River Prosna, to
enable the troops to effect a crossing, and the avenues
to the same through Poland are occupied by im-
mense masses of troops. Numerous bettalions of
landwehr are ordered to assemble in Upper
Silesia; and the fortresses adjoining the Russian
Polish frontiers are to ba put in the most perfect
state of defence."

AUSTRIA.—VIENNA, JUNE 20.—The Emperor is
not to open the diet in person. In the Wiener
Zeitung of this morning appears an imp. risl procla-
mation expressing "bitter regret" that "now when
no delay in the opening of the constituent diet is pos-
s.ble, the state of my health will rot allow me to
undertake the journey. to Vienna." The document goes
on to state that in the delicate condition of his impel ial
Majesty's health he is desirous to retain his brother
Francis Charles near his person ; and that, with the
advice and acquiescence of his ministers, he has
nominated his uncle, the Archduke John, to oi,en the
diet in his stead. The Wiener Zeitung (official part)
observes that the ministerial report of his Majesty's
health is not particularly alarming, but confirms the
as,ertion that it will reader him unable to journey to
Vienna at present.

committee on the Sclavonian populations in Ger-
many and the events at l'rague was presented.

the measures adopted by the diet are sufficient, and
that it will co-operate with the Austrian government.
The debate on the proposed interim central authority

against any participation by the assembly in the
nomination of a central authority, which he main-
tained ought to be It to the grvernmente alone. M.
Vas Vineke elsclarA for centreising cxecativc autho-
rity in one person. He made several broad allusions
