GERMANY.

PRUSSIA.—Wo have news from Berlin to the
28th. The papers of that date state that Herr Von
Schleinitz is to be appointed envoy from Prussia to
the French republic.
A good deal of discontent reigns against the pro-
ceediugs of the Frankfurt Assembly ; and fears are
entertained that on the Gth of August—the day on
which the army is to take a kind of oath of allegiance
to the Lieutenant of the Empire—some military up-
roar may ensue. A large meeting has been held at
Stettin to oppose any oath, save that to the King, and
many regiments have sent dtputatio a with the same
petition. Petitions to the same abet have been pre-
sented by the electors of Bodin.
AJSTRIA.--The dates from Vienna are of the 2Gth.

A courier from Innepruck announces that the Em-
peror and Empress were to reach the palace of Se!cen-
brun, near Vienna, early in the following week. The
democratic club was suppressed. The Diet had re-
turned an address to the opening discourse of the
Archduke John.

The Doke of Modena reached Innspruck on thelBth.
FRANKFORT.—In the sitting of the assembly on
the 28th, after an animated and eloquent debate, in
which Janiezewsl,i end Venceley were the champions
of the Poli a of Posen, Jordan and Lichnowsky the
voters against their claims, the assembly went to the
vote, and re jected all the motions for the inde-
pendence of the province of Posen. The as-
sembly approved of the Uhibioll of the province
of l'osen into German awl Polish, and admitted
the deputies of tLe former. It aanctiomd pro-
visionally the line of demarcation drawn by Ge-
neral Pfuel. A motion to engtme Germany to strug-
gle for the independence of Poland was negatived by
331 votes against 101, 26 abstaining. It is worthy
of remark that, in the debat., Ituge having said the
he hoped Itatletski would be beaten out of Italy,
the expression was cheered by at least half the as-
sembly.

MALTA, JULY 24.—0 n the 214 the English barque,
Niagara, Capt. J. Hall, whic't entered the quarantine har-
bour the day previous, from Odessa and Constantinople,
blend to Cork with a cargo of grain, loft harbour for her

would run round to leeward of the island, and stretch
across to the Barbary eh, re, in preference to evading over to

Muncher Shoal, a reef of rocks running off NE. by E. from

rived in Valleta Lloyd's agent, accompanied by guirdisns,

tance. This wai promptly done by her commander, Lieut.

cff and went into the quarantine harbour. The captain
states that she makes no water: she is under examination.
