GERMANY.

Oar correspondent writes as follows:

BERLIN, Dsc. 4.

The Chambers were, as you already know, ad-
journ( d this morning, until the 3rd of January nex,,
by a royal decree, read by Manteuffel. The Chambers
were crowded, but only slight manifestations of dis-
satisfaction took place. Berlin bas received the event
with perfect imperturbability.
'The micistertal journal says that this measure has
been rendered necessary to remove the want of confi-
dence shown by the Chambers. The mioistry hope to
obtain at the tree confereue. a in Dresden a popular
constitution for Germany, and an t.onourable position
for Prussia.
Bavaria is said to protest agai-st the free confer-
ences.
Denmark will be required to reduce her army to
our-thud.
The ministry remains imperfect. Ladenberg's re-
tirement has not yet appeared in the Gm tte. It is
reported that Manteuffel is to bo made President of
the Ministry.
A very friendly autograph letter has been presented
to the King from the limper it of Austria.
The exchange was dull this afternoon, mainly in
connquenee of the adjournment of the Chambers.
The government of Baden proposes to make a loan
• of 6,000,000 florins.

The new sketch of an address to the throne is u
follows :

We learn with satisfaction that your Majesty's relations
with the great powers of Europe remain uninterrupted, for
we appreciate fully the blessings of peace. Deeply, how-
ever, we regret that your Majesty'a efforts to obtain a con.
sitution for the German States suitable to their wants, hove
not met with success; but we give not up the hops that
further efforts may ob Sin this object, as also that the
dissensi .na in Hesse and in Holstein may, by the co-
operation of all the German states, be brought to satis-
factory 'laden:Rents, securing acquired rights on all sides.
however, according to the declaration of your
Maj sty's ministry, and from the 'obstaclee of the late un-
derstanding with Austria, it has brume known not only
that the consti.ution (Gestaltung) of Germany is to be cos.
witted to free conferences without a basis, but also the con-
tinuation of a one sided int, remotion in Hesse is to be per-
mitted, and the disarming of Holstein with the co-operation
of Prussia is to be effected, we perceive with the keenest
grief in these purposes a policy hardly coivistent with the
honour of Prussia, and extensively dangerous to her position
in Germany.
We should fail in our duty and devotion to your Majesty
and your illustrious house, and should think we were want-
ing in love to our country, if we forbore giving expreasion
to these sentiments.
If, on the contrary, your Majesty would firmly take
the resolution to demand a constitution (esurichtung) for all
Germany commensurate with Pru,sia's p sition in Germany
d Europe, and which would secure the sum of thou :teats
which God has placed it in your Majesty's power to
obtain, and it this demand were made valid with
that emphasis which right and an enthusiastic army filly
prepared to support th,. cause of their King is,il fatherland
can impart to it, then would your M.jeaty'e government, we
are cost lent, meet with honourable success, and • basis of
a future prosperity, without war, woul t be laid down for
Germany, in which Prussia would talcs her prim place.
But should this hope desire us, should Prussia's right be
denied, should it be necessary to mak- good Prussia's just
claims with the sword, then would the Prussian peop.e, and
then would the Chambers in their name, for such a war be
ready and willing to make any, even the severest, starlike*.
For such an object all would be united, all would joyfully
concur to re'reem your Majesty's pledges,—Cone-rd in
loyalty; trot in God in one spirit—in the old genuine Prue
sian spirit.
And so may God keep your Majesty is the path in which
he rag graciously kept and led Prussia for centuries. That
is our trust.

The following is the address proposed by Baron
Vlachs : - -

" May It please your Majesty, —The second chamber re-
solved, in its sittieg of Nov. 22, to reply to the gracious
speech with which your Majesty opened the present session
of the parliament, by a humble address.
" The draught of such an address war introduced for
discussion in taday's sitting of the chamber, when, by com-
munications made by your Slsjesty's government, we were
informed of the tenor of engagements entered into between
the present Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs and the
bead of the Austrian cabinet; and that your Majesty had
been pleased to approve the same.
"We consider that by these engagements the rights of
the two noble Germanic races of Hare and Bobtails, is
opposition to oppression and arbitrary power, are sur-
rendered In the sight of the whole armed Prussian
people. Br these your Majesty's high hearted inten-
tions to win for the German fatherland a counts.
tion worthy of its dignity and value in Barer,
are neutralised for en indefinite period, if not for ever ; the
honour of Prussia is violated, its political power misappre-
Hated, and a future prepared, in which the highest advan-
tages of the nation—freedom, national rank, and even its
civilisation—will be extremely endangered. t
" Under the terrible impression of such announcements,
we feel impelled by the hely obligations of nce and
fidetity to your Majesty and your illustrious house, of pa-
triotic attachment to this beloved lend, of unbounded de-
votedner to its world wide renown, to pray your Majesty
above all thiegs to put an end to the system by which the
land he, been brought into its present critical position, and
whou instruments are the present responsible advisers of the
crown.
" As representatives of the Prussian nation, we repeat in
this solemn moment the respectinl assurance that your
Majesty's faithful people will standby their King with goods
and blood to confront all dangers which such a return from
the present courses may entail. We pray the Almighty God
to direct the resolutions of your Majesty to such aims as us
re Mae inheritance of the genuine Prussian apirit,"
• rest port‘on of the house (continued U. Vineks) ter
renounce this with a heavy heart. There are two men in
the ministry who saved the country two years ego fess •
critical ridden. But no one is always fortunate. The sem
men have brought the country to the brink of ruin by
their condescensions. I can only concentrate my views in
the espre'sion of one wish —away with this ministry.
( ' Bravo," and hisses.)
It was proposed to refer the draft of the address spin to
the committee, on aczount of altered circutestutess. The
urgency of this motion was allowed.
Vienna correspondence of the 2nd inst, speaks of an
important addition to the °lznik.: treaty, viz.
that the Prussian and Austrian armaments be reduced
one-third.
