The Nereigkeies Busses from Vienna of April 5, ;
says, the answer of Prince Schwarzenberg to the 1
last Prussian note was yesterday despatched to Ber-
lin. It contains the result of the negoc•iution be- 1
tweer. Prussia and Austria, which is, that Prussia
returns to the old diet. The question of the presi-
dency, which was pending; is settled by a reference to
the fifth article ol• the Buudesaete, which awards the
presidency to Austria.
At Berlin a police ordinance, dated the sth of
April, and signed Ilinekeldev, has been issued, and
addressed esp•c•ially to the Nliuister of Westphalia,
complaining of the conduct of strangers, especially
literary then (Germans they must be), who having
permission to reside in Prussia, endeavour, by
their writings, to excite the people against the
government. The police threaten these persons with
prompt dismissal from Prussia by virtue of the edict
of the 22nd of June, 1817, and of the 31st of Decem-
ber, 1842, if they abuse their privilege of residence.
Our correspondent writes as follows :
BERLIN, Arum 7.
The Emperor of Austria returned to Vienna front Venice
in the afternoon of the 4th inst. As the arrival of the an-
swer to the last Prussian prupesals depended on the period
of the Emperor's return, it is anticipated that it will arrive
in the course of two or three days. It was stated yesterday
that a preliminary answer of some kind had arrived, but the
report was unfounded. The German question is in a most pe-
culiar position. Prussia his declared that, unless her last
demands be agreed to by Austria she will depute a pleni-
potentiary to the Frankfurt Diet, and has called upon her
former allies to do the same. The majority of the latter
have declared their willingness to do so, and as
they have made no conditions, and as, moreover,
there arc among them several who most anxiously de-
sire that the old diet should be restored in its ancient
form, it is not improbable that they may depute to Frank-
fort without waiting for the Austrian answer. Supposing
Prince Schwarzenberg to accept the Prussian proposals, the
two powers united will still have to deal with the resistance
of the ninor states, a resistance which has increased in
strength in proportion with the greater knowledge which
has been acquired of the extent and purpose of the Austrian
plans. If Prince Sehvrarzcnbcrg reject the l'russian
proposals, and Prussia despatches a plenipotentiary to
Frankfort, the question respecting the Austrian provinces
will immediately appear in the foreground. The Austrian
government are bent on procuring the admission of the
whole of the Austrian provinces, and ore prepared to evade
the protest of France, unless it he backed in a strenuous
manner by England. Prince Schwarzenherg is said to''
• have declared that he never would permit even nn
, ideal line to be drawn through the territories of the Aus-
trian empire, and it is said that in the pride of
re-established power he is even really to venture a
war with France, if that power should continue its
resistance to his plans. Ilowever that may be, he will
• not desist front his demand for the admittance into the eon-
, federation of Hungary, Slavonia, Croatia, and Lombardy,
and the question will be the first to be settled on the re-
' assembling of the Diet, in which each state plIthlOWS a veto.
The Kress.: Zeitung says that the Austrisux answer is not ea-
peetCd before the 10th inst.
