PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin of the 11-th inst., says
All the Ministerial correspondences declare as devoid of
foundation the statement of some forei4n laurnals, which,
reoresentine. the policy of the Prussian Government in a
false light, announce the neutrality of Prussia as a positive
fact. Prussia, for the moment, maintains an expectant
policy. She has not bourui herself to Austria, but has not
promised any Powei to 'remain neutral. Germany is oc-
cap;ed at this very moment with the great question of
leaving the initiative to Prussia. In Prussia all parties
a tree on the point that, as Prussia will have the heaviest
burden to suoport in the common defence, she ought to be
'allowed to choose her own time, and not he hurried into any
hasty act. The Prussian Chamber of Thipreseniatives has
unanimously voted all Vie financial hills presented by the
Government with a view to the eventualities of war. The
disciassion lasted for six. hours. All parties spoke in favour
of a national and German policy.

plement to the Weiner Zdtung :

As a reward for their bravery the names of the
above-mentione laiffi,:erts were honourably mentioned
in the Oeder of the Day, and six of the men
under their command received silver medals. A
day or two ago, the Turin papers stated that one
squadron of Piedineetese horse had defeate-1 three
squadrons of Austrian cavalry, and they probably-
alluded to the above-mentioned affairs. The
Au,trian version is probably the more correct one,
as the Hungarian hussars are brave as lions and
first-rate horsemen.
News . from the seat of war there is none, but
some few details relative to the advance of the
Austrian army into Sardinia have I:Qen received
