THE GERMAN QUESTION.
EXTRAORDINARY SITTING OF THE
FEDERAL DIET.
FRANKFORT-ON-THE-IL/UNE, APRIL 9.
An extraordinary sitting of the Federal Diet
has been convened to-day at the request of Prussia,
who, it is expected, will bring forward a proposi-
tion for the assembling of a German parliament.

FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE, APRIL 9, EvmrNo.
At a special sitting of the Federal Diet to-day,
the Prussian representative made the following
propositions :
1. That an assembly should be convened, com-
posed of members directly elected throughout
Germany by universal suffrage, to meet upon a
day to be appointed, in order to receive proposals
to be laid before the German governments for a
reform of the Federal constitution.
2. That negotiations should in the meantime take
place between the various governments to settle the
above proposals.
A motion brought forward by the Austrian repre-
sentative, as President of the Diet, demanding the
immediate communication to the Federal govern-
ments of the Prussian motion was agreed to.
The Prussian representative advocated the earliest
possible appointment of a committee for the exami-
nation of the proposal made by his government.
BERLIN, APRIL 9.
The semi-official No rddeut ache Zeitung of to-day
announces that Count Wildersee has been expelled
from Austrian territory.
The same paper also states that Prussia w;

adopt measures of reprisal against Austrian sub-

jects now travelling in Prussia.

Count Karolyi presented a note from the
Austrian government to Count Bismarck to-day,
in which Austria demands that Prussia should dis-
continue the armaments ordered upon the 28th
ult. It adds that Austria has not to disarm,
having made no armament. The tone of the note is
reported not to be conciliatory.
It is reported that Count Bismarck intends to
propose the convocation of a German parliament.

VIENNA, Aram 9,
The Wiener Debaite of to-day states that Austria
is about to decline continuing negotiations with
Prussia until the latter power ceases to mobilise
her troops.
According to the Press of this evening the Aus-
trian answer to the last Prussian note was de-
spatched on the ith inst. This reply is said to
partake of the character of an ultimatum, re-
proaching Prussia with the provocative language
of her despatch and with her intrigues with Italy.
In the event of an unsatisfactory reply Austria
would immediately bring forward a motion in the
Federal Diet for placing the Federal army upon a
war footing.
The Morgeapost says that a confidential reply
from the Austrian government demands the dis-
armament of Prussia.
Telegraphic advices received here from Prague
announce that the offers to supply the army with
provisions have been declined by the Minister of
War, as all intention of calling for tenders has
been relinquished.
A rumour is current that at a recent ministerial
council a proposal was made for obtaining financial
resources, in the event of war, by the issue of
government currency.

THE NEXT WEST INDIA MAIL.—The Atrato with

Tax CHARGES AGAINST THE PAROCHIAL AUTHO-
RITIES OP ST. PANClLM—Yesterday a special committee
of the St. Pancras board of guardians met to inniuire into
the fresh charge brought against the authorities of St.
Pancras workhouse, that a child had been allowed to re-
main in its filth for a great length of time, and that per-
sons, old and young, had been buried for dead without the
doctor seeing them. Mr. Thornton occupied the chair.
After some preliminary discussion, Daniel Chatterton,
the person who made the charge through Mr. Hillocks,
was called in. Upon entering the room he handed a letter
to the chairman, which was to the effect that he protested
against the case of his child being settled by a committee
without his having the opportunity of bringing forward
his friends or witnesses. If the matter were brought before
the board of guardians when he could have his witnesses
present he should be prepared to prove all his statements.
They were unable to attend that day, one owing to her
near confinement, and the others owing to shortness of
notice, but he should be able to produce them next Mon-
day. The charge was then read over to him. It was in
substance that his child, aged 4 years, an inmate of the
workhouse, had been allowed to lie in its filth till its body
