PRUSSIA.
The following teltg.aphic despatch bu come to
hand:

ERFURT, Apair. P.
Prussia has laid down as a peremptory condition in
the negotiations with Austria for the prolonging cf
the interim that is to expire on the let of May, the
recognition of the Bowies-stag which is about to be
constituted at Erfurt.

Prussia has notified her intention of callirg toge-
ther a Zollrettin Congres#, at Cassel, in the mmth
of June, for the purpose of reriaing.the North Gamin
tariffs.

The most important part of this statement ie that
relative to the proposed recognition by Aue•ris of the
Bundes-etaat. If Pruss'a is firm in the demand, it
shows that the mission of the Erfurt parliament is
not so fruitless as it had been lately anticipated as
likely to be.
At the meeting of the Volk•haue, at Erfurt, on the
Bth inst., the report of M. Camphausen was heard
and adopted.
Count Brandenburg, and MM. Manoteuffel and Vt,n
der Heydt had arrived on the Bth at Erfurt.
Our Berlin correspondent writes :
BERLIN, Ana J.

I stated in my letter yesterday that the firm and
determined tone of Mannteuffel at the cabinet councils
which have been sitting at Bellevue had gives new
courage to his colleagues, and that it was determined
to persevere with the scheme for the more intintste
confederation. Such is really the case; the ministry,
with the approval of his Maje,ty, have decided not
to propose any further changes in the constitution
for the union, but to endeavour to procure its adop-
tion as speedily as possible by the united governments.
in order at once to institute the executive power. It
was also resolved, at the last cabinet council, that
communication should be made to the committeis of
both houses, now deliberating on the constitution at
Erfurt, that the limitation of the paragraph which
confers on the union the right of declaring wit and
peace would not weaken the confederation, as Ptu,ia
would at all times knew how to protect its rigivs. It
is stated by persons in the confidence of ministers that
both Carlowitz and Itsdowitz, in their communl:l-
- on this point, exceeded their instructions, and
that steps are to be taken immediately to remit% c the
impression crated by those communications.
The conferencts between the Prussian and Danish
plenipotentiaries still continue; the last took
place on Saturday without approaching to any-
thing like a nsult. Meanwhile, matters are
coming to a crisis in the duchies; the S:at-
halterschaft and the Landesversammburg seem
to grow daily more desirous of actual hostilities; and
the Danes do not a little to provoke them. The Rit-
terschaft in Kiel have resolved to propose to the
Statthalterschaft to make another attempt at procur-
ingpeace by direct negotiations with Copenhagen.
The Berlin journals state that the King of Den-
mark is dangerously ill. The ministry in Bavaria
have decided on continuing the state of siege in the
Palatinate. In the course of the spring a division of
the Bavarian army is to encamp between Wurzburg
and Schereinfurth.

The Sfaals-Anzeiger of the 7th inst. contains a copy
