GERMANY.

PRUSSIA.
Oar correspoodent writes as follows:
BERLIN, Mance 16.
The election of electors has taken place to-day, with
very favourable results to the conservative party. It
was remarked also that a portion of the democrats
took part in the election.

AUSTRIA.

Oar Vienna correspondent writes as follows :

VIENNA. )(warn 13.
Gynlay, minister at war, placed his resignation
yesterday in the Emperor's own hands, and takes his
departure this evening for Grits. He has permission
to remain there for a fortnight ; after his return he will
retire for some time to his estates. His resignation is
not to be officially announced till a successor in the
ministry can be definitively fixed upon. There can be
little doubt that the choice of government will fall on
Count Degenfeld, lately commandant of the fortress of
Mayence. It cannot be denied that the count possesses
talents for administration; still his nomination Is not

unlikely to be ill-received by the army, u he is not.
an Austrian by birth, bat descended from a family
which has settled in Baden.
More important, however, than this chugs of per-
saes in the ministry is the fact that Count Oyulay,
although urgently requested by the Emperor and the
whole imperial family to take upon him the office of
Ban of Croatia, declined the appointment in the
firmest and most unequivocal manner. I have it
from a sure source that he declared he was ready to
sacrifice his life for the throne and the dynasty, but
I could never take this post.
Today, the 13th of March, we are celebrating the
anniversary of oar "glorious revolution" in solemn
silenosi in a silence so profound that its name is not
once whispered. I went as far as the Stephens-plat:
and found it emptier of people than usual, and till
this hour (5 p.m.) there is not a shadow of a demon-
stration of any kind. And as snow, sleet, and rain,
are now pouring down on us, none is likely to take
place. This shows that the Viennese are oo their
guard, for daring the last few days a whole boat of
ages, provocateurs have been busily exerting them-
selves to stir up the people to commit themselves by
some movement.

The new chamber of commerce is to receive an
octroyed constitution, which will lend Wits voluntary
dissolution. The minister of oommeroe seems re-
solved to tolerate no kind or degree of independence.
The Prussian ambassador, M. Dellbrtick, is highly
vain of; but I think I may venture to assure you
that his overtures will receive no satis.facitory answer
till the fated the Erfurt parliament is palpable to
the dullest understanding.

MARCII 16.—Both General von Ranch and M.
Vollpracht have returned from the duchies, and it
appears that the former succeeded in his mission to
prevent the Schleswig-Holstein army from advancing
into Schleswig, by convincing the Statthalterechnit
that the Dgaish army did not intend to attack them.
Than is net snything publicly known as yet of these
tramactiems perhaps we elan hear it when the Diet
meets at Biel M. Vollpeada did not Testers to w-
ooed to the north of MF temp after he had been
treated so roughly on the Island of Alien ; nor did he
visit the towns on the western coast, whose inhabi-
tants are so thoroughly German that no doubt is en-
tertained of their feelings towards the Dane-.
