tional Assembly on the 16th instant, about fay
Pruden mambo s declared that their goys meet bat

' PRUSSIA.—The insurrection in Elberfeld, so far
alma as the civic,inucl and the landwehr are con-
sumed, may be considered at an end, the deputation
which proceeded to Berlin having returned with the
understanding that the king would roorgoise the con-
stitution for Germany, " with the exception of a few
points chiefly relating to the mode of election, the
nature of the relations o' the single states with the
confederate one, and the absolute wets." A telegra-
phic despatch from Berlin subsequently announced
that Bavaria, Barony, and Hanover have agreed to
accept the constitution in its modified form.
Oa the receipt of this intelligence the civic guard
and the landwehr came to the resolution of taking
tiossession in common of all the poste, including the
Town-hall. The committee of safety in vain endea-
vowed to induce them to make further preparations
for defending the town ; after a stormy soete in the
Town-hall, the committee of safety was declared dis-
solved, and several of the members withdrew from
the above building in high dudgeon. The more de-
termined democrats commenc-d building other barri-
cades on the night of the 16th inst., particularly in
the neighbourhood of the Town-hall. In the course
of the 17th however, several barricades were taken
' down, and numbers of the armed volunteers, who had
arrived from various towns to the usietanca of the
people of Elberfeld, took their departure.
It was reported in Frankfort, on the 16th instant,
that Prussia would declare war against all those Ger-
man states which acknowledged unconditionally the
constitution.

AUSTRIA.—The Vienna papers are to May 13.-
For some days previously a rand movement in the
Hungarian army had been visible ; it was supposed to
be for the valley of the Wang. Au Austrian detach-
ment, stationed in Kapuvar, under Major Gsobois,
more than 2,000 strong, was attacked by the Magyars,
surrounded, and almost totally desloyerL
BADEN.—The insurrection in Baden has become
general. The fortress of Rastadt is fully in posses-
sion of the insurgents. All statements to the con-
' Wary are incorrect.
The Cartanshe Gazette, which has taken the title
if " Organ of the Committee of the Country," and
which is slated by a Mr. Blind, se the responsible
editor, contains the fol.owing proclamation:
Citizens I—Thirteen mouths of a violent steeple, thirteen
months of bard sacrificer, have passed. During this period
we have bees alone sustained by ilia hope that our beautiful
country would obtsia liberty, sad that the bond. of union
would embrace sU the Germans. Bat no sooner was the
German constitution definitively fixed by the national repre-
esetatives, Man the soaspincy of ths kings broke out,
