PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, SEPT. IS.
The King will go from Frankfort to Wiesbaden
to visit the Princess of Wales, after which he will
proceed to the court of Darmstadt, to visit the
Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse.

At the end of the month the King is going to
the island of Meinau, in the Lake of Constance,
where among the grand ducal families of Baden
the Queen's birthday, which occurs on the 30th
inst.,_ will be celebrated. It is also expected that
his Majesty will there meet the King of Bavaria.
At the beginning of October the King of Prussia

The Provincial Correrponden: of to-day says teat
with the introduction of the Prussian constitution
into the new provinces their participation in the
elections of members of the Prussian Diet comes
into force. The elections in those provinces will,
if possible, be held before the end of October. The
supposition that the government would dissolve
the chamber, and order new elections throughout
the whole monarchy, is erroneous, but the number
of the members of the Upper House will be in-
creased. The discussions of the Schleswig-Hol-
stein notables, which promise to yield satisfactory
results, will probably close on Friday.
The same paper also confirms the statement that
Herr von Quaade had announced to Count Bis-
marck that he was authorised by the Danish govern-
ment to discuss the guarantees to be given by Den-
mark relative to the German population in North
Schleswig, and that Prussia will forthwith appoint
a commissioner for that purpose.
