intended to deliver In his ntsieWs presence. This request

Herr Simeon read the king's reply to the address of tee de-

terrupted for ems day by our being invited to the royal
palace of Charlottenburg. Our deliberations respecting the
reply were however resumed, and the result was, that we
unanimously drew up a declaration, and forwarded it to the
Prussian cabinet. The declaratioa was as follows. (It
has already appeared in cameo in oar colamas.) We had
previously been repeatedly informed, even by persons of
rank, that the king had consented to accept the imperial dig-

Assembly. After a few other remarks, the speaker em-
ended, amidst general cheers.
A long discussion then ensued, and finally the fol.
lowirg motion was carried, by a majority of 276
to 159:
That the German Constituent National Assembly declare
soli-wily to the nation that it will unahakingly adhere to the
constitution agreed to and promulgated on the second reading,
snd also to the electoral law passed on the second reading ;
that it refer the report of the deputatioa to a COM-
mince of thirty members to be chosen by the se Mims of the
chambers, in order that a speedy report may be made re-
specting the measures neural, to be taken for carrying out
the constitution.
This decision of the assembly may be set down as
the rejection of the claim set up by the respective
princes of Germany for a suspending veto with regard
to the constitution. The house then adjourned.
AUSTRIA.—We have intelligence from Vienna to
the 91 inst. The thirty-fourth bulletin has been
published by Marshal Welden, and, as usual, it con-
tains accounts of another loss on the part of the
Hungarians of many men and six cannon. It con-
cludea, however, by saying that Windiscbgratz can-
not tike the offensive, but must wait for reinfiarce.
manta. Thu is rather significant. The bulletin is
as follows :
Intelligence from his excellency Prince Windiochgratr,
dated Pestb, the 7th instant, give of the antici-
pated great noorinoimance made the Field-Marshal in
person on the 4th and sth *stalest the enemy's troops. The
enemy, amounting in number to about 50,000 men,
with a considerable force in cannon and cavalry,
had moved from Miskolcz to Mezokovesd, under
Gorgey, whilst Klapka retired to Gyrongyos, the van-
guard, under Dembinski, being stationed at Detests.
This latter force was that which was attacked on the 2nd inst.
by Mat shalSchlick , when the lost many rani and prisoners, and
were repulsed as fares Hart. Another bsdy of insurgents was
on the right bank of the Theirs, between Szolnok and Jan.
Apatbi, moving against Field Marshal Baran Jellae.hich.
The 3rd corps of Marshal Schliek had taken up a position
behind the Zagyve, whilst the Ist was placed at Tapia
Bicke. In this state of things the field-marshal was desirous
of himself ascertaining the force of the enemy, and went on
the 4th to Oodiillo, where part of the 2nd corps already was,
whilst its left wing crocupied Balassa-Gyarmath and Vad-
Ken.
The reconnoissance showed the entire fuse of the enemy,
which, anticipating an attack, kept his main forge opposed at
first to our third, and later to our list term. There were
four hostile corps which joined each other before Gyongyos
and BrAnok, and endeavoured to attack our centre at Tot-
Alms.. A movement by the third corps against the enemy
led to an engagement which, as already stated, occurred at
l'Asio BAL., under the orders .f Baron Jellachich.
The plan of the field-marshal was, in order to approach
each other, the reserves pressing on from all sides, to cause
the Ist and 3rd corps, as well as the 2nd, which hitherto had
occupied a position In reserve between Waitren and Pugh,
so to unite is a concentrated position, in advance of Posh, as
to leave that city in the centre of a great semi-circle, stretch-
Mg from Palau and Kereszteu to &Folmar. This move-
ment, which the enemy followed with great speed
advancing as they did against the first corps
at fussier, whilst they pretended to occupy the attention ci
the 3rd army corps at Godfillo, led to an engagement as the
6th inst. at raid-day, in which the Fiedler brigedm strength-
ened by a portion of the Lobkowits brigade, seethed end
forced the enemy to retire. The retreat was endeavoured to
be covered by a cavalry attack of twelve squa roes, which,
however, was met
Chevauxiegers and a squadron of Auersperg's Defenders,
the result of which was that six cannon were taken from the
enemy, and many men left dead on the field.
Field Marshal Jellachich also attacked the enemy, and

that since the Earl of Carlisle had signified his readiness to
preside over the festivities to celebrate the tenth year of the
establisbinect of the institution, the efforts of the committee
had been encouraged by receiving the names of more than
seventy stewards, including the prime minister, and several
dietineuiabed raembers of both houses of parliament. It
was stated that the benefits of the hospital, during the ten
years of its existence, had been administered to upwards of
125,000 patients the yearly average now being about
20.000. The regular income of the charity, it seems, does
not exceed 1,6001., although the hospital on its present scale
of efficiency cannot be maintained under the sum of 4,6001
per annum ; an addition to the regular subscribers was there
fore described es the essential point necessary to secure the
wal being of an establishment that hos already conferred so
great a benefit upon suffering humanity. The ordinary
routine business having been disposed of, the meeting sepa-
rated.
