PRUSSIA.—Wo have news from Berlin of the
25th instant. As the day approaches for the assem-
bling in Brandenburg of a traction of the National
Assembly, the rumours respecting the intentions of
government rapidly increase. Amongst them are the
following :—Should there not be 202 members pre-
sent (the number required to form a house), ministate
will either dissolve the Assembly altogether, and ad.
vise the King to grant —pr&prio nota —a constita-
tion, or summon to Brandenburg the deputies of the
dissentient members—a locum tenens having been
Ichosen at each election, with power to sit and vote
in the Assembly in the absence of the principal
member.

The still prevailing impression in well-informed
quarters seemed to be that the Assembly would to
dissolved in a few days, particularly as it is under.
stood in those quarters that the commissioners from
the central executive in Frankfort have not succeeded
in proving the necessity. of the formation of a popular
ministry. Certain it is that one of these commis-
Montt,' (Herr Simeon), a gentleman of sound consti-
tutional views, has returned to the above free city.
Baron Von Gagern, tho president of the Ka-
dotal Assembly in Frankfort, is expected to arrive
in Potsdam in a day or two. It is possible that he
may bring fresh suggestions, if not instructions, from
the vicar of the empire.
M. Rodbertius and Von Berg had left Berlin for
Frankfort for the purpose of carrying a declared=
to the National Parliament, signed by the president
and 200 members of the Prussian assembly, in which
they affirm that all the assertions made by M. Buser-
mann, in his report to the minietry,respecting the ap-
pearance of the city, were false even to the minutest
details. They declare that M. Bassermann in his
quality of envoy, from the central power, neither ne-
gotiated nor even nalde the slightest attempt to nego-
tiate with the Prussian assembly, or, as he says, with
the deputies who remained at Berlin.
AUSTRIA.—We have intelligence from Vienna to
the 21st inst. Count Stadion has accepted the poet
of Minister of the Interior. It is thought that, after
all, ministers are willing to come to a peaceful ar-
rangement with Hungary, on the condition that Kos-
suth be given up. It appears that on the 12th inst.
a portion of the imperial troops bad advanced as far
as Csakatburn and Redelitz, and had taken posses-
sion of the important island of Mur. The Emperor
of Russia has forwarded to Wiudischgratz the grand
cross of the order of St. George, and to Jellachich,
that of the order of Wladirair. The Hungarians
have broken up the roads in those parte of their coun-
try which adjoin Austria, in order to impede the pro-
gress of the imperialists.
On account of the execution of Robert Blum, the
people of Trieste have resolved not to return a
deputy to the Frankfort National Assembly, until
they learn what steps have been taken by that body
to protect its members.
Gratz has been declared in a state of siege, as s
measure of precaution against the numerous fugitives
from Vienna.

FRANKFORT.—It was stated in the National
Assembly, on the 24th inst., that the President (Von
Gagern) had gone to Berlin, in order to learn the exact
state of affairs there. The Minister of the Interior
declared th‘t he had no official knowledge of the al-
leged alliance, offensive and defensive, entered into
by the cabinets of St. Petersburg, Berlin, and
enna. The answers to certain questions relating to
Austria were pestponed. In reply to a question re-
specting the execution of Robert 13111 m, the Minister
of Justice gave the following reply : "A copy of the de-
cision of the Assembly of the 16th, regarding thin
affair was immediately forwarded to the imperial
commissioners, with instructions to communicate it to
the government in Olmtits, and to demand adequate
satisfaction (literally, atonement) for this violation of
right. A despatch from Olintitz, under date Nov.
18, had been received from the commission, contain-
ing a report of their first interview with issaenberg,
who was very courteous, and promised all due atten-
tion to their communication. The further results of
the last instructions must be awaited. The 13th and
14th articles of the constitution were then voted.
The Assembly next passed motions, to the effect that
the Central Executive take steps for preventing the
carrying out of the new fundamental law of Holland
in the duchy of Limburg (" one inseparably united
with Germany"), that the law relating to bills of
exchange, as voted at the Leipeic congress, be re-
cognised as binding on all Germany, and that that
law come into operation on the let of May, 1849.

LISBON, Nov. 19.
Since my last, of the 11th inst., we have had
a ministerial crisis. The ministry are divided in their
policy. Toe Duke de Saldanha is convi:.ced of the necessity
of moderate and conciliatory measures ; others are for the
most severe measures, whether legal or not. The court and
the Marquis de Fronteira are for the latter ; conscquently,
several persons have been arrested; others were ordered is
depart for some remote place, and others were shipped or.
J. M. Mend. a, who bad been ordered to the Azores by the
Marquis de Fronteira, complained to the Duke of Sald:mks
of such en illegal proceeding. Fronteira, however, per-
sisted in his determination to exile this iadividu : Sarah's
being determined not to allow Fronteira to have the better
of him, sent to stop the vessel ready to take M. Modes to
the Aso-es, and ordered him to be released. Fronteira, actor-
puled by his brother, Din Carlos Dlucaranhas, commandant
of the mnuicipal guard, and first gaoler of the political pri-
son at Caruso, called upon Saldanha to demand en esplans•
non, enter: that such an act of Sada:she was a proof that
ha did not Lajey the contlience of the goo, rnaseig, and, r
such, that he begged leave' to tulips. Don Culos used the
