PRUSSIA.

Letters fr.sat BerlinofAugust 14. say :,

It was known early this morning that Austria
would probably give way in the affair of the %Wish
troops and accept the Prussian proposition of a twin
of arbitration. The Deutsche Refr.r,n confirms this
report. The court is to consist of three Austrians,
three Prussians, and an umpire, and its first task
will probably be the interpretation of the fedi ral
fortress iegniatione. Prussia proposed in one of her
notes to maintain the present Bundes commission as
an administrative body should Austria persist in dia-
-1 ceasing German effete s ith her allies in a Diet. Austria
is proceeding very slowly Lit has been three minths
resolving upon the restricted Diet. The ministerial
crisis still keeps attention alive here. The liteg
has addressed a note to 31. Mannteuffel, the
purport of which is that the Union must
on no conditions be surrendered. In higher
circles the abandonment of the union is regardea as a
sign of subjection to Austria, such as must on no
account be exhibited. Even the party of the extreme
right is greatly influenced by this appeal to the
national honour. At present there is not the least
indication of a treaty with Belgium.
We learn from a telegraphic, despatch, dated Berlin,
the 17th inst, in the (Moyne Gaeta, that the Aus-
trian invitation for another diet (Bundestag) reached
Berlin on that day, and that Prussia is resolved to
decline accepting any proposal in this or a similar
sense.
Another telegraphic despatch of the 16:h inst. mays:
The semi-official journals confirm the statement made
that Austria proposes a tribunal of empires to decide
upon the interpretation to be given to the rules regu-
lating the federal fortresses. Austria names Bavaria
its its umpire; Praia will choose another, and the
two umpires will take a third with them. Austria
farther proposes, he the administration of federal
property, a commission, to b• chosen by the two
parties. It is stated in the semi-official journals that
the commissioners on the part of Austria and her al-
lies would be chosen by the restricted dirt.
From Frankfort we reedit, the text of the note
sent on the 6th inst. by M. von Bohleinits to Vienna.
The note does, as we stated, protest energetically
against the formation of the restricted diet at Frank-
fort, and proposes, me a concession, to keep on the
interim Brindseerfauslasion until such time as the great
question now in abeyance *ball have been settled.
