FRANKFORT.—We have news from this city up
to the 10th inst. At the commenpement of the sit-
ting of this day, Vioe-President Baner informed
the assembly that he had received a letter
from M. Von Osgern, announcing that as the Vicar
lof the Empire had refused to sanction the programme
of the ministry, it had resigned. The programme
regarded the conduct to be *sued with respect to
the movements in Germany, and to the extension of
the imperial constitution to certain portions of Ger-
many. The assembly then passed to the considera-
tion of the motion for putting down the outbreaks in
Saxony and the Bavarian palatinate, by mesas of the
central government and the imperial constitution.
The vote, which was finally carried by 188 against
147 votes, was as follows :
Ike serious i,frection of the puce of the empire perpe-
trated by the Prussian government in arbitrarily intervening
in the kugdom of Saxony, is to be Termed by all the means
at the disposal of the government. In maintaining tranquil-
lity and order nevertheless the efforts of the people and their
repteseatatives to put in vigour the constitution of the em •
pile dull be protected against any violent repression.
The Archduke John has declared that he would
endeavour to form an administration.
The Prussian troops have thought it prudent not to
attempt to enter Spires, the Bavarian garrison having
sided with the citizens, and resolved to oppose the
entrance of the Prussians, who have returned to
Frankfort.
SAXONY.—Our correspondent writes:
DRESDEN, MAY 9.
After a dreadful night, in which people have been
shaken up out of their sleep by the tolling of the
deep bells from the church towers over the river with
alarms of fire, and by constant discharges of cannon
and musketry at 10 o'clock this morning we hear that
the soldiers has ve won the town. The firing stopped
at half-past nine. But such was the doubt, or rather
total ignorance, that prevailed in the Neuatadt, of
what was going on across the river, that many, per-
sons in this hotel (Stadt Wien, adjoining the bridge)
attributed the silence of the guns to the victory of the
people : till the arrival of several Prussian officers
who are quartered here, and come home after a hard
night's work to go to bed, set the mater beyond
doubt.
The greater part of the insurgents and with them
the triumvirate of the provisional government have
escaped. Their last hold in the town was the large
square of the old market; and from thence they made Deczerousissu—On Saturday a. fire broke out upon
