GERMAN Y.

PRUSSIA.—The following is the later of our
correspondent:
BERLIN, Barr. 11.
The strangest contradictiona prevail in the press as
to the progress of the government in the German
question. While the Vienta papers speak in the
most confident manner of the IS andee-staat project
being entirely Riven up by Prussia, the constitutional
journals of Berlin point to the active organisation of
the Supreme C3ort of Arbitration at Erfurt as a proof
of the earnestness with which the Prussien govern-

meat is proceeding in this question. M. 8111,6118 no
argument can reasonably be drawn as to the sincerity
of the Prussian government in carrying out its German
sebum from the mere march of the machinery that
was set in motion as soon as Prussia took the matter,
in the beginning of April, out of the hands of the
Frankfurt Assembly. It would be equally conclusive
to allsge the regular routine of a busk on the
point of sopping payment as a reason for the impos-
sibility of such a catastrophe. The only question of
real importance is, which side is gaining ground by
the procrastination of the decisive crisis which will
be the meeting of the Reichstag, the Russian party or
the constitutional ?arty ; if the former, we may ex-
pect some coup d etot, if the latter there is still the
same fear, although in a less degree. Certainly the
entourage of the king and his interviews with the
emperor at Teplitz and Pilwitz,under the auspices of
Generals Gerlach and Gramm, bode nothing good.
The Wiener Zeitung remarks, with regard to the
project of union between the Bandesstaat and Austria,
printed in the Prussian "Blue Book," u that which
Baron von Canitz proposed to the cabinet of Visalia,
that it differs in several essential respects from the
proposals really submitted by that savoy to the Auer
trim government, which the 011cial Gassier of
Vienna lays now before the public. To this the
Busts-disresOr of this emoting replies that the docu-
ment communicated to the clambers is aocompute

by a statement which makes the matter clear: The
substance of this statement is, that Baron Gaits cer-
tainly submitted the principle of the union in a more
Knees' shape, and that the details introduced into
the document set before the chambers could not be
made the subject of negotiation, beeauseatitueoisieneral
principle was rejected; but that the in its
eossplete form, exactly sa it has been r aid before the
Prussian parliament, was communicated to M. Pro-
knit von Osten, the Austrian envoy at Berlin, at the
dens of Osaka's departure far Vienna.
The difference between these two documents given
by the Prussian " Blue Book' and the Wiener Zei-
eseng, consists in the development which the former
contains of an article of the latter, which
proposes that " the policy of the union is
to be consider, d and treated a. a common policy," and
also in the constitution of the directory. In fact, arti-
cles 9, 10, 14, and 15 of the fuller proposal are
omitted in the other; and as these four articles con-
stitute the cream of the project, the Weisser Zeitung
is right in finding an essential difference between the
two. One is properly speaking a note communi-
cated to the Austrian government, and the other a
copy of the instructions given to Omits. That the
latter should have been inserted in the Blue Book for
the former is certainly a misrepresentation ; al-
though not of much importance, if Prokesch, as the
Staate-einzieger says, got a copy of Canitz's instruo-
ions.
AUSTBIA.—Vienna dates are to Sept. 9.
Letters of the 7th from Agram, state that the fort-
ress of Peterwardein surrendered on the afternoon of
the sth, but this news requires confirmation.
The emperor was expected in Bchfinbrunn on the
above date. General Gcergey, who arrived in Vienna
apparently on the 7th, continued les journey the same
day by the south railway to Blasenfurth, which is
destined for the place of his residence. lie was ac-
companied by the Austrian major, Androesy, and a
physician.
The dilgemeine Zeitung fllr Ungar n represents th e
garrison of Comorn as fully resolved to obtain not
only conditions for themselves bat for their country.
They will not hear of unconditional surrender. Toey
demand complete amnesty foe all Hungarians;
retirement of the garrison with arms to a conter-
minous country, and independent ministers for Hun-
gary. ILlapka is represented as indifferent personally
to the result of the negotiations, which he has left in
the hands of the civil commissioners.
The last sparks of Hungarian resistance have not,
it seems, been yet extinguished in Transylvania.
Colonel Urban was sent in pursuit of a considerable
room, which laid down arms on the 25th ult., at
Sibs, but when unexpectedly a Wallachian batallion
and the Polish officers, rejected the capitulation, this
corps kilted them and proceeded to Hagy Banya.
BAVARIA.—Menich dates are to Sept. 10.
Tite Bavarian diet was opened on the 10th by the
king is person, after hie majesty and all the mem-
bers of the royal family had attended divine service.
Up to post hoar the speech had not appeared.
The whole line of railroad from Augsburg to
Nuremberg (Nurnberg) will be opened on the 26th of
September.
WURTBMBERO.—Latest dates from Stuttgard
to Sept. 7. Miter's manifesto forms the main topic
of oases:lotion here. The elasticise of municipal
officers have turned out more inneeratical than con-
servative; only in a very few passes has the conser-
vative element triumphed. The government will be
forced to pay rather a high inionity to the Prises
of Taxis is compensate lust kg the loss of the postal
monopoly. There are forty pealed prisoners at this
moment in the Asperg, and the number is daily in-
seeming.
GRAND DUCHY OF BADEN.—Latest dates to
Sept. 9.—The Minister of the Interior, Von Marshall,
is visiting the officials for their late offences with
=
severity by dismissal or degradation. An
and property tax is about to be introduced,
but a more unfavourable moment could not have bees
selected, rinse trade is at the very lowest ebb. Who-
ever pommies any means has troops billeted apon
him, and the capitalist is equally distressed, since he
can get no interoot paid on the mosey be has advanced.
The Oier Pod-Ante Zeibing informs us, by means
of direst correspondence, end •PPnirtlYfroman
official some, that the greed duchy will be occupied
for three years by a Prussiaa oorpe, to consist of six
ski: b
four of horse, and an artillery park of
ix batteries.
