PRUSSIA,

A letter from Enlin, dated 21st init., says:—

A few days since the Conservative fractions issued their
electoral privet-urns, which does not contain any points
clearly formulated, but dwells more upon the general state
of the country. We have now before us the programme of
the party of progress. That party demands :-
1. Complete liberty of the press, and, consequently, the
suppression of the decree of the 2d June.
2. Presentation of the law on Ministerial responsibility
prescribed by the Constitution.
3. Effective recognition of the right of the Chamber of
Deputies to control the expenses of the Treasury.
4. Ito organisation of the House of Lords.
5. An army founded upon a popular basic, with a two
years' se►vice.
6. A German Parliament, freely elected by the nation.
The organs of the press which aro more or less intimately
connected with the Government are not quite agreed upon
the policy of the Ministry. It is therefore very diffictflt, not
to say impossible, to form any certain conjecture of the at-
titude which the Government will assume towards the Diet.
All that is positively known is that the Cabinet is deliberat-
ing upon the German question, and that the budget is the
object of serious discussions. Count Wielopolski, from War-
saw, who is still sojourning at Putbus, has taken a house
here in the Thiergarten, which he purposes inhabiting
towards the end of September.
The King is expected here to-morrow afternoon for
military manoeuvres. The Ministerial councils will, it is
supposed, then be resumed to settle the propositions that
will be made to the Diet. At all events, it is probable that
the King's answer to the Sovereigns who met at Frankfort
has been decided upon. It is also supposed that, shortly
after the opening of the Diet, the documents relating to the
German question will be laid before it.

During the last few days additional warnings have been
given to various newspapers. The President of the Police
announces that the pamphlet entitled "Art. 73 of the Con-
stitution and the Laws on the Press" has been confiscated.

At the request of the Government the police at Leipsic
have confiscated a number of the Weekly Journal, pub-
lished there."

A telegraphic despatch, dated Berlin, Sept. 23,
gives the following as the substance of the report
addressed by the Ministry to the King, relative to
the question of Federal reform :

In this document, which bears the date of the 15th of
September, the Government complains that the project of
Austrian reform was only communicated to the King in an
incomplete manner, and posterior to the date of the letters
of invitation sent to the other Sovereigns.
The report claims for the two great Powers the right
of opposing their veto to all declaration of war, as long as
the Federal territory should not be attacked. It solicits,
moreover, that Prussia and Austria shall hold a perfectly
equal rank in the Directory.
The elections ought to direct and the powers of the Na-
tional Parliament more extended.
The Ministry proposes to the King-
1. To refuse his adhesion to the actual project, and to
enter into negotiation with his confederates;
2. In case it should be decided upon to hold Ministerial
Conferences, to convoke them with a view to decide upon
some other project of reform; and
3. To submit it either to the elected representatives of
the nation, or to the Diets of the different countries.
