CONFIRMATION OF THE DANISH ARM-

STICK BY THE FRANKFORT ASSEMBLY.
FRANKFORT.—The Assembly voted on the 16th
by a majority of 257 against 236, the proposal of Messrs.
Franck., Droysen, Michelsen, and Neergard, to the
following effect: " The National Assembly deter-
mines not to adjourn any longer the ratification of the
armistice of Malmoe, in so far as that ratification eau
take place in the present state of things. It deoldss,
secondly, to invite the central provisional power to
take the necenary steps to come to an understanding
se soon as possible with Denmark, upon the modifies-
Seas it has declared its intention of making in the
treaty of Malmoe if they are judged necessary ; and
to invite the central provisional power to commence
negotiations fora peace as soon as possible."
We left the minister Heckscher, in our ac-
-Icount from Frankfort yesterday, speaking on
the question at issue. The sitting was a stormy
one. Max von Omen, before Heckscher, was called
upon far an explanation, in the course of which he
and that minister were very violent—the latter so
much so that he had to be called several times to
order. The result, however, was favourable to the
continuance of the armistice, as we have shown. The
motion of the majority of the committee, already given
by us, was rejected by 258 against 237. M. Franoke's
motion was then adopted, and the motion of the mino-
rity of the commission also rejected by 205 against
165. This of course is a blow to the party of the left.
The last vote took place at 8 in the evening.
The excitement within St. Paul's Church had been
great : it was Namely len so outside. A dense
crowd bad collected outside for the purpose of signi-
fying their disapproval of the result of the division
when the members should make their exit. The
members, however, were warned in time, and a great
part took advantage of a aide door. From three to
four thousand people of different classes were assem-
bled before the Hotel de Hollande at nine o'clock.
They left that and moved off to the German hotel.
Blum there came out, and addressed the mob from
one of the windows, telling them that the eventful
hour was now come when the people mast show itself
brave and resolute in the cause of Gilmany u it had
shown itself in the famous days of March. (Cries of
"We will.") What the left should do now he
scarcely knew. (Cries of" retire," "appeal to the
people.) He warmed them to be ready when called
upon, &c. (Cries of "we are ready.")
Simon then harangued them. He adverted to the
disgraces which his part', the Party of the
bad suffered in the Assembly ; a series of 41
diecomfitures at which the heart of a patriot 'tokens&
Bat it was not enough for one man to feel this, am all
that was left him was to retire under a sense of sorrow
to the treason that had been committed against his
leountry. They most have a great majority, a great
majority among the people. (C:ies of " You have It
already.") He knew that there were 20,000 of the
Burgher Guard in Berlin who Would stand by them,
and they had a vast number of democra'io unions in
Prussia and elsewhere who would support them.
But they must not be hasty. They must wait
the next post from Berlin, since the last
had already brought them news of the ghterak
having been beaten there; and then they
s sould be able to my whether and where the people
should make a demonstration in the cause of liberty
and unity, the cause which a certain number in the
National Assembly were seeking to undermine.
Frankfort was not the ground to act nun; but he
conjured them to be ready. (Cries of "We are ready
now, now.") They said they were ready ; but they
mud give the left trine to come to a definite resolu-
tion. They had met for the purpose of forming one
that very evening, and he, therefore, again begged
them to give them time. After much cheering the
crowd separated.
At the H6tel d'Angletorre, the usual evening ren-
dezvous of the right and right centre, the greatest
uproar occurred, resulting in breaking of windows.
Men with sticks in their hands dashed in the lower
tier of windows one after the other, and attempted,
though in vain, to force the doors of the court. By this
time the city was in a general tumult, yet the breaking
of windows continued fall a quarter of an hour
within a stone's throw of the principal guard-pest,
without any interference either on the part of the
milidry se the burgher guard. The windows of the
West End-hall, where a part of the left and left
centre hold their evening meetings, bat which is also
appropriated, as a suit, of reading-rooms, &c., to the
uss of the members in general, shared the same fate.

. ,

The non-interference of the military, &e., was pru-
dential, no doubt. At last, however, the Hessian '
Guard appeared on the spot, and were speedily re-
lieved by the Schntz-vrache (a part of the civic guard),
who took up a position in defence of the partially I
dilapidated building. The mob quickly moved off, 1
hissing, whistling, and hooting. At ten minutes to
ten the glarale was beaten, and the military and
burgher guard were seen parading the streets in all
directions. The uproar still continued, and many at-
tempts were made to incense the military and the
other icoard, but no real conflict ensued. At two
o'clock in the morning all was quiet.
AUSTRIA.—Order was completely restored in
Vienna on the 14th, but how long it might be main-
tained is a question. Ministers have published a
proclamation forbidding rassemblenistits in the
streets. The Assembly sat on the 14th, but the dis-
cussion does not offer any matter of importance.
The accounts from Hungary are more satisfactory.
From Perth, of the 13th, we learn that Bathyani,
having accepted the proposal made him by Archduke
Stephen, to form a new ministry, Kossuth had in the
chamber promised to support it, so long as it fol-
lowed the path of legality, and showed energy.
The Agrees Gazette writes:
Head quarters of the Crosto-Slavonian army In Wares-
din, Sept. 11.—This morning, at half-put five o'clock, our
army and the Hempen division emend the Drava. The
Ban sad" his train bare already returned to the head-quar-
ters, having been everywhere received with acclamations
by the people. Bedell* end Cakaturn have submitted to
our troops without resisting. The third battalion of Ernst
has joined our troops. To-morrow our head-quarters will
remove to Bedell,.
PRUBBIA.—The Berlin papers of the 18th contain
no news of importance. A Belgian journal says :
It appears that the Earl of Westmoreland, immediately
after the arrival of the intelligence from Frankfurt of the
first decision of the Diet relative to the armistice, sent a note
to the minister of foreign affairs stating that he believed he
was acting according to the wish of his cabinet In declaring
that the Queen of Brest Britain, in her quality as guarantee
for the armistice of Mahon, would adopt every requisite
measure for the maintenance of that armistice, even If it
, should involve as active defence of the rights guaranteed to
Denmark by the convention, and that ho would send a deft-
attire note to this effect as soon as he was informed of the
resolution of Lora Palmenton. It was probably this decla-
ration which fortified Prussia in the resolution which she
announced at Frankfort. It affirmed that the Prussian
cabinet has declared positively to the central power that
without deviating in the least from its obligations as a Ger-
man government, it would neverthilin eventually consider
' the armistice of Mslmoe as a distinct treaty with Denmark,
and maintain it at every cost.

MADRID, 8.4. T. 14.

Count Mirasol has been exiled enca. Thesevere
treatmrot of exiling a perm of his high rank and service.
to a desolate spot like Cuenca, and the omission of the com-
mon formula of approbation from the decree of his dismissal,
are sufficient proof that the government hu no orslinary
ground of complaint against him. What I hear on this lob-
d is that hews& concerned in a plot jointly with the Queen-
other for the suturersion of N . In any ease, he is
said to have proposed to the latter that the sort of camp
which is established in the lower story of hit house, for the
defence of his person, should be broken up, or at least re-
duced within reasonable limits. Nareau smelt a rat. There
was a plot on foot then for seizing him in his bed; which is
by many believed to have been the eau. At any rate he was
highly displeased at the proposal, and vested his displeasure
in such terms as left the count no alternative but to resign
his post.

PORTUGAL.—LtsaoN.—Tnee FOR DEPARTURE
or Masse.—A serious disagreement has (or some time
existed between the Peninsular Packet Company's agent at
Lisbon, and the agent of the British post-office at that port,
ma to who has the right to fie the time for the departure of
the mail steamers. As the latter carry cargo they ais of
course not exempted, even though they have mails on board,
from foreign custom-house regulation'. Their departure
from a foreign port therefore is almost in the power of the
private agent, who can retard or facilitate their obtaining
custom-house clearance just as he thinks proprr. It is to
put a stop to this disagreement, which is grown very serious,
and to inquire into other more important privileges claimed
by the private agent of the company, that the Lisbon packet
agent has been ordered to this country.
BRAZILS.—Advioes have been received in Liver-
' pool from Pernambuco to the 12th Aug., Bahia Ath Aug.,
and Rio Janeiro July 29. At all these places trade was
I very dull. Exchange at Rio ruled at 22 d.
