GERMANY.

We have dates from Berlin to the lath.
The cabinet was not then completed. The condi-
tion attached to the acceptance of the portfolio of the
Interior, namely, the adoption of the new parochial
ordinance (Gemeinde ordnung) makes the difficulty.
M. Witaleben has refused to enter the cabinet on
this ;ground. The entrance of the Bavarian troops
into Rothenburg has been signalised by farther
measures against the opponents of the September
ordinancee—soldiers have been quartered in the houses
of many refractory judges. Almost all the constitu-
tional judges have resigned. Count Reebberg, pre-
vious to laying down his government at Rothenburg,
has spared has sacosesor, Count Leiningen, a dis-
*getable task, by again publishing an edict,
whereby the Hesse territory is declared to be in a
state of war; the carrying of arms is for-
bidden to all; the forcible deprivation of them
is announced if they are not delivered up ; all
public meetings, whether for political or other pur-
I poses, are prohibited, and all unions and societies,
whatever may be their object, are, by the bare will of
the prince, declared to be dissolved.
The Deutsche Reform says :—" According to infor-
mation that may be depended on, Count Baal, not
the under-secretary, Werner, will represent the Aus-
trian government at the Dresden conferences. It is
said also that Prince Schwarzenberg will be present
at their opening."

VIENNA, Dec. 12.
The Finance Minister, Baron Kraus, has finally
plucked up courage in a cabinet council to declare
that it is no longer possible to meet the wants of the
state with printed paper.
FRANKFORT, Dac. 15.
Practical opposition has here been shown to the
"Duality." The lit Bavarian light infantry batta-
lion, which has been in garrison here about five week.,
was to be relieved by the let battalion of Austrian
light infantry. The latter arrived yesterday at Hanau,
and were expected here to-day. But the Bavarians
refuse to leave Frankfort, and M. von Xy lender, being
questioned on the subject, declares he has received
(corn his government no orders for the battalion to
leave their present quarters. The presence of the
Austrian quarter-muter here produces no effect, so
that the Austrian battalion must remain at Henan
till the courts of Vienna and Munich
.have settled
the matter. _ . .

Lient..Gen. von Peuker has declared that, on closer
consideration of the instructions he has received for
the Hessian mission, he finds it impossible to under-
take it. M. von Peuker has sent a declaration to
this eLct to Berlin, in consequence of which
Count Leiniegen set out alone for Cassel this morning.
The retinal of M. Peuker very distinctly intimates
the nature of the mission be was solicitedto undertake ;
and we may judge from this example that no one
who respects an oath of fidelity to any constitution
will consent to act a part which may lead to the
exercise of violence against Hessian constitutional
rights.

CARLSRUHK, Dec. 15.

It is not improbable that our Minister for Foreign
Affairs, M. von Rudt, may represent us at the con-
ferences. The representatives of the small German
states at Dresden should be decided men—if we equi-
vocate we are lost; for it is well known in all well-
informed circles that Prussia and Austria have already
settled between themselves all the principal points.
The remaining German states will have nothing to
do but to accept or reject the proporitions set before
them. Bavaria will take advantage of this steve of
things to gain an ascendant position herself, by head-
ing
the small states in Germany.

DRESDEN, Dn. 14.

The minister Zachiosky surprised tLo Chamber very
agreeably by announcing the " intention of the go-
vernment gradually to reduce the army when a
similar measure should be carried out in Prussia."
