PRUSSIA.—Our correspondent writes as follows :
BERLIN, Jusa 3.
The exertions of the democratic party will be con-
fined at present to the organisation of an agitation
with the view of dissuading as many electors as pos-
sible from the exercise of so mutilated a francaue
as that which is given by the new electoral ordinance.
It is expected, on the otter hand, that the govern-
ment will deprive those of the right of election who
refuse to vote. To show that such a proceeding is by
no means without a precedent in this country, I may
mention a ease in point In '46 the common c-uncill
of Naumburg, on the Saal, in the Saxon province, re-
fused to join in the election of dirties fsr
the provincial Landow, declaring publicly that the
laadtsg was of no nee, as all the motions carried is
It were not only set aside by the government, but the
refined of the government's sanction was acc,m-
inted with contumelious and insulting larguage.
The consequence was that the common-council men,
or Stade-verordneten, ef Neuenburg were immediately
turned out by a decree of the goverarocot, fur not
joining in the elections, as it was pretended that the
exercise of the electoral franchise was not only a
right but an obligaeoa. The same pretension, it is
thought, will be repeated in the present instance.
Thesucoess of the plan of abstaining from astir g would
depend entirely upon the unanimity among the liberals
with which it orgitt be carried out, for a partial
withdrawal would only strengthen the hands of the
government, whereas, if the government were all iwed
to walk over the course, and a oomph tely ministerial
house were chosen, the odious injustice of the govern-
ment would be set ire so strong a light as to give an
immense moral force to the revoltatioa. I say revolu-
tion, fir there no longer remains the least hope of the
rescue of Prussia from absolutism by any merely con-
stitutional machinery. It is hopeless that the lab.-rious
legislative structures of future representative assem
blies should meet with any better fate than those of
the past. As soon as the legislative work is such u
to draw the ap;.rovel of the peop'e, it will be cuffel to
pieces by power, and be swept away like a pack of
said-houses. The vanity of electing any more chambers
seder them circumstances is too well known to all;
mod, uncommon as the feeling of poliecal independ-
ence is, men of all parties are begtnn.ns to feel the
indignity of be ing called on to pre repeated proofs
of their ins gnificanc s by playing the part of puppsts
in this polit cal farce. Five tines in the c MUM! of the
last year have the Prussians been called upon to
elect deputies t parliamentary assemblies whose
work has been frustrated and brought to nought by
the Prussian government. For the Vereinigte Lora-
-1 tag, the Frankfort Assembly, the National Assembly
of Billies, and the late drat and seconi chambers,
have been as ept away, and left not a wreck behind.
How any Prussian can, under these eircumstanc s,
have the complaisance to put himself to the trouble of
vo iug again, until he obtains sonic guarantee that
he vote is not t i to-main a porfec ly effete and im-
potent act, demonstrating his complete civic nullity,
will to Englishmen appear singular. Here also the
political pros ration is such, that few haee even the
courage to offer a passive resistance to tho usurpations
of the government.
I have to add to my letter of this morning, that in
the Seats-Anzeiger there have appeared this evening
several alterations of the project of a G stman consti
talon, as corrections of errata of the press.
I also hear from a g rod sour,* that Brunswick,
lAnhait-Iternhirg, and Mecklenburg have adhered to
the said project.
A letter from .lisqv announces that the hospodar of
Moldavia, Nli-harl Stourdzs, has teca deposed by a
Orman of the Porte.
AUSTRIA.—Vienna dates are to June 1.
In the official p trt of the Wiener Minn!, there ap-
pease a " hand bide t" of the emperor, relieving Gene-
ral Welden of the command in-chief of the army in
llungary, and app int ing Baron Haynan in his place.
Geccral Weldon, as .tared yesti elay, is commissioned
to reams c his post of military and civil governor of
Vienna. The pretext assigned fir the retirement of 1
Nire!den is the weakness of his health. Gen. liar emu
is promoted to the rank of master of ordnance (I.l4d-
zenipmeixter).
The Wiener Zeittong also contains bulletins from
General Thorn, from the head-quarters of It idetsky,ll
at Casa Papadopoli, concerning tae fall of Nlalghers,
and from Jellachich concerning the operations of the
army in South Hungary against Peterwardein, dated I
May 25, from llama. On that day an attack was
made by the Bin on an outwork of the f naress of
Peterwardein, in which he lost some men, spiked two
howitzers, and took two six-pounders from the enemy.
Lloy4 contains a telegraphic despatch, which gives
news from Venice up to the 28th. On that day the
Venetians hell opened a smart fire from the batteries I
established on the railroad-bridge and the vessels
moored at some distance along the bridge, against the
fort of San Guiliano, and the Custom-houses, to pre-
vent the establishment of the batte-ics from which
Venice is to be bombarded. It is added that the fire
of the Venetians was quite ineffec'ual, and that the
works were continued without interruption. The
Field-marshal intended to begin to bombard Venice at
noon on the 29th, and at the same time to undertake
the necessary operations against Brondolo.
Iranyi, the Hunearian government commissioner
at Pestb, issued on the 18th ult. an order for the de-
livery of all private arms, which would be paid for
in rt ally money at fair rates of compensation by the
state. Common muskets were rated at 3 florins c. m;
those of a superior sort wculd fetch as high a price
as 2311. c.m.
From the seat of war in tho west the rumour
which prevailed on the 31st ult. of a battle at Trent-
'chin, has been confirmed. The Austrian troops 1
en-
gaged consisted of the corps of Vogel and the bri-1
gade of Benedek ; while the Hungarian forces wire I
the advanced guard under General Dannenberg. The
Austrians wire put to flight, and were pursued down I
the Waag-thal by the Hungarian hussars, who made
fearful havoc among the fugitives. A battle is also
reported to have taken place at Raab.
Bern has reached Orsows, and issued a proclama-
tion to the Servians. The news, therefare, that the
Russians had reached Orators on the 14th is, as I
surmised, untrue.
The news is confirmed that a large part of the
Russian troops in Wallachia and Moldavithad retired
across the Prath. The Vienna press, not knowing
what to make of this backward move of the great
ally, ascribes it one while to a protest of the Porte,
another to an energetic note from England or France.
Concerning the march of the Russians into °illicit",
accounts from Flocznow, of the 29th nit., report that
the last column of the Russians cams in on that day.
The whole corps consisted of 52,000 men, with
13,000 horse, and advanced towards the Carpathians,
on the road to Enema
In the siege and storm of Ofen, it is already knows
that all the 1111mb:tants took the part of the Hun-
garian., except the Rains, a race with long black
hair, and a wild and cunning expression, who have a
suburb called the Raizen-stadt.
On the 17th ult., two Sardinian delegates were pre-
sented to Kossuth at Debreezin. These had indeei
no official character, but were commissioned by their
government to pave the way to an alliance and com-
mercial connection between the two countries. They
pointed out especially how useful the Sardinian fist
might prove to the Hungarians on the Adriatic. if
the Magyars should succeed in cartinding the rebellion
to Fiume.
