GERMANY.

PRUSSIA.—We have the Berlin papers of the
20th inst. A battalion of the 10th regiment has re-
ceived orders to be in readiness to proceed to Ham-
burg, affairs in Bleswig-Holstein, or rather in
Denmark Proper, not being very satisfactory. A
number of military officers in the provinces of Prussia
(pardcidarly in Pillau and KO iigsberg), will be
shortly tried on the charge of insubordination to the
king (as commander-in-chief of the army), if not on
the charge of high treason, for having, either vied
rote, or by writing, approved of the decision of the
National Assembly respecting the non-payment of
taxes. . .

The judges of the supreme secret tribunal Gentians
to treat their colleague, Herr Waldeck, with marked
coolness, and even hostility, on account of his recent
strenuous opposition in the National Assembly to the
unconstitutional measures of the government. The
alleged ground for their unworthy conduct is, that
Herr Waldeck, by his voting for the suspension of
the payment of taxes, acted illegally, and that,
by resuming his seat in the above court, he is
bringing the whole tribunal into public contempt.
This is, perhaps, one of the most glaring attempts of
modern times to interfere with the rights and privi.
legs of are ntidive of the nation. It is asserted
that proceedings will be taken against those ex.
deputies who forwarded to the provinces circulars or
letters urging the people not to pay any more taxes.
AUSTRIA.—We have news from Vienna of Dec. 17.
The finance committee of the Bremsier Diet has
published its report respecting the demand of 80 mil-
lions of florins by the government. The report state'
that the credit of 20 millions voted on the 21st Aug.
last had been exhausted, and that government now
demanded a much higher sum ; that ministers had
declared that the new emperor acknowledged all the
rights conferred on the people by his predecesior, and
that they had also announced that it was one of their
main objects to establish a powerful organic, union
between the countries represented in the COW tituent
diet and those of the Hungarian throne, to confer equal
rights on all nationalities in the Austrian empire, and
to restore and confirm its unity. The report further
states that, satisfied with those ministerialdeclarations,
the majority of the committee, after recommending
several financial reforms to the cabinet, declared in
favour of a grant of 50 millions of florins (not 80, as
asked for).

It is shoed la the 71-ankfureer Jostreal of the 19th,
that the imperial army will eomesace at ems the
attack is Path itself. Skirmishes are of doily
*ter eyes. It appears that the. imperialists are sadly
h. want of premolar and provisions in masrale whilst
their antagonists are abundantly supplied.

FRANKFORT.—In the sitting of the National
Assembly on the 20.1 inst., the minister **Mies stated
that • copy of the law declaring the innolability of
the members of the Assembly had been forwarded to,
and the receipt of the same duly acknowledged by,
the Austrian government. That government bad
drawn up a final declaration respecting the Blum
affair, but; the decument had not reached the central
executive. So soon as it came to hand, it should be
communicated to the Assembly. With respect to the
placing of Vienna in a state of siege, the Austria*
government considered that such • step was aeon
sexy, but declared that an end would be put to that
exceptional measure when cimmatances permitte d.
'the Assembly then proceeded with the second
of the law relating to landed property. It is Wrenn
that the regular debate on the Austrian question will
sot come on until the 3rd of next month.
The question respecting the choice of an emperor
for Germany has proved an tin:ortunate one for the
unity of that " confederation." It has been mainly
instrumental in bringing about a division between
Austria and Germany (for the former, it may be said,
no longer belongs to the latter), and b:tween the
north and the mouth. It has, moreover, aroused reli-
gious prejudices which were quietlslumbering, and
brought them to bear against the election, on one side,
of a protestant emperor, to the shape of • Prmian
prince, and of • Roman catheltc one, in the
shape of a scion of the royal family of Bavaria.
In • shoat time, the departure of the Austrian
deputies to the Frankfort National Assembly, must be
for, if the d. claration of ministers that Austria
does not form a part of the German confederate state
be adopted by the above Assembly. The parties in
that Assembly have undergone within the last few
days another modification. Some ninet,-five mem-
bers have fallen off from the old majority, thereby
greatly reducing the number of the partisans of the
Casino. The Austrian deputies (as stated yesterday)
have formed • club of their own at the Hotel
Schroder ; they admit, however, the Bavarian mem-
bers of the Assembly, because the latter are also op-
posed to the election of the King of Prussia as
emperor. In • few days one may expect to hear the
various parties in the National Aesembly, designated
as North or South German, Protestant or Roman

Catholic.
People begin to ask what is to be done with the
Austrian orrisons in Mainz and Landau, as no foreign
troops can be allowed to take op their residence en
°lelra.; to come to an arrangement respecting the
unity of Germany, it is proposed by one party that
Austria shall have the supreme management of the
German confederate state during sex years, and
Prussia durin.; three, and so on in rotation ; and that
there be two legislative chambers, sitting alternatively
in Vienna and Berlin, according as the supreme
authority is plac din either state. This pl in is pub-
lished in the Oberpost Anita Zeitung.
The draft of the law of election for the second
Chamber of the central parliament hes just been sub-
mitted to the Constitution Committee by the pre-
liminary one. That draft bestows the franchise on
every independent and irreproachable German"
who is t • nnty-five years of age, and has a fixed
:aldose* in the electoral district legally assigned
to him. As non-independent persons, and MOOD-
as non-electors, are designated the following :
Bankrupts, Indio dual 4 under gua-dianship, servants,
trade assistants; persons working for daily, weekly,
Of monthly ways ; recipients of public relief ; nom-
men, of the income-tax (where such a tax is, or may
be, introduced); or, where such a tax does not exist,
not pawned of a yearly income of 300 florins.
=independent and irreproachable German, 30
years of age, and having the right of citizenship, is
expenditure for the central executive and the
National Assembly, from Sept. 1 to Dec. 31, 1848,
will amount to 10,469,768 florins 59 kreuzers, exclu-
sive of a further sum of 15,000 florins, demanded by
the Minister of Finance. The items are portioned oat
es follows :—For the vicar of the empire, 23,880
florins; for the National Assembly and the Committee
of Fifty (preliminary parliament), 118,000; for the
entire ministry, including the president of the council,
11,119 ; for the department of foreign affairs, 117,840;
interior, 21,293; jusCce, 23,206 ; commerce, 21,8013 ;
war, 4,618,000; marine, 5,326; finance, 13,210.
Before tendering his resignation, the late minister
of the interior, Von &howling, forwarded a note to
the president of the Anhalt-Bernburg Diet, stating
that the central government had no objection to the
Date of Anhalt-Deana accepting the regency of the
former duchy, provided the two dukes could come to
an understanding on that point. Herr von Schmerling,
however, ridiculed the claim of the Anhalt Bernburg
Diet in favour of the administrative and legislative
=race of their little duchy, even if the two
idshould become united.

Everything is yet in easpenee. Each how that
