GERMANY.
PRUSSIA.

, JOLT 11.
It hu been mentioned in a formerßllßLlN letter that the
treaty of peace with Denmark, when communicated
to the governments of Germany for their ratifloatios,
was accompanied by a memorial from the Prussian
government, explatuing the motives of the govern-
ment in concluding the pew, end analysing the con-
tents of the six articled. I have seen a copy of
this memorial, and have been permitted to
make a summary of its contents. It com-
mences with a brief sketch of the negotia
tions from their commencement. Lord Palmer-

ston's proposals, made in the autumn of 1848,
having been rejected, Denmark proposed that
Schleswig should be independent. England sup-
ported this proposal, and it was agreed to by the
central fed-ral power in February 1849. This basis,
however, upon which the Berlin treaty et the 10th
July, 1849, was founded, was explained very diffe-
rentlyby Prussia and Denmark, and it became im-
posetbk to arrive at any settlement even with respect
to the future relations of Holstein and Lsoenburg to
Germany. Presets, in consequence, proposed, on the
17th of April, through Herr von Usedom, the simple
peace, with the full reservation of the rights of both
parties. Upon the basis of this treaty was concluded
the peace of the tad of July, in the name of the Ger-
manic Confederation. In this part of the memorial
great stress is laid upon the fact that Prussia has all
along been acting as the agent of that body, and
not in her own behalf. It then proceeds
to analyse the cantants of the treaty of
peace. The two first articles contain the forms until
to such documents. The third, in reserving the rights
of both putts., includes the federal resolutions
adopted previous to the war on the 17th September,
1846. The fourth refers to the manner in which the
settlement of the question in dispute between the
Duchies and Denmark shall be developed. Though
not mentioned in the peace itself, conciliatory offers
are expected to be made to the Duchies by Denmark.
If they prove unsuccessful, the sovereign will seek to
restore the execution of his legitimate authority, and
the Duchies to defend their rights by different means,
lint if peace is to exist between Denmark and Ger-
many, the latter ought properly to prevent Holstein
from taking part in the war of Schleswig with Den-
mark, if the Schleswig question comes to be decided
by force of arms. Under the existing circumstances,
it could only be effected by military measures, and in
order not to put such measures in force, the con-
federation permits the existing " warlike solidity "
of the Duchies (which means that the Schles-
wig-Holstein army in its present strength, or
increased by further reserves, is permitted, unhindered
by Germany, to defend the rights of the duchies
against Denmark). This permission requires that an
exception should be made to the general regulations
cf the relations of Germany with Holstein, and it has.
therefore, been conceded to the king-duke to extend
his military operations from Schleswig into Holstein,
a federal territory. This permission is, however, con-
ditional. Previously to any attempt to reinstate his le-
gitimate authority in Holstein (the word order is not
mployed, much against the wishes of the Danes,
who wished to stamp the condition of the duchies as
A iffruhr rebellion"), the king-duke mast communi-
cate to the confederation his intentions respecting the
pacification of the country. and the terms he intends
to offer them. After the conchnicn cf the peace, the
confederation cannot return unanswered the conse-
quent communications, while, until it was concluded,
tierr von Bulow certainly could not be received in
Frankfort. The competency of the confederation to
interfere is clearly reserved, and it is left entirely to
its discretion to do so. The fifth article refers to the

frontiers between H,letein and Scbleswig, and tte

sixth to the ratifications.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, JILT 9:

Astonishment is a mild term by which 'to describe
the feeling generally pervading Vienna to-day, in
cocsegoence of the following official announcement in
the Weiner Zeitung :
On the proposition of the ministerial couccil his Majesty
has decided, by his order of the Pith instant, to remove Gen
Haynau from his position as commander-in chief of the
third division of the army, and to deprive him of the full
powers granted him in Hungary, in constquenca of the ex-
isting exceptional state of things.
_ _ -

- -
Not a soul in Vienna was prepared for such a mi- 4
nisterial measure. The official de.cree contains no
xpressions calculated to render the bitter pill for
General Haynau at all palatable ; it is drawn up in
the eldest possible manner. Ilsynan's disgrace must
be considered complete. The public, and especially
the officers of the garrison, are puzzling themselves
to account for it. The explanation is not difficult to
find. For some time differences of opinion and slight
unplessyntnesses have often occurred between the
ministry and those generals who, holding the
command in-chief in the several provinces in
which the state of siege continues, possess,
in fact, an incredible degree of power, to some
extent independent of the central government.
Several of them have indeed forgotten aloogether the
obedience due to ministerial orders, and have go.
verned within their provinces with perfect disregard
of all controul.
