PRUSSIA.

- - - - -
BERLIN, Oct. 13.—The Cabinet of Berlin has de-
cided to reply to the last overtures of the Cabinet
of Vienna. The draft of the reply is ready. It
has not yet been definitively adopted and approved
of by the King, so that it cannot leave for a
day or two. All the rumours in the journals
of a rapprochement between Prussia and Aus-
tria are pure inventions. The reply is mode-
rate and conciliating as regards the form, leav-
ing an opening to Austria to draw nearer
to Prussia, by abandoning partly the policy
she has thought proper to follow, but in substance
it makes no concession, and abandons nothing of
what was established by the despatches of the 3d
and 21st of last month. It appears therefore that
the rupture between Austria and Prussia is an es-
tablished fact. It remains to be seen how the
other States of Germany will act.
A letter from Berlin, of Oct. 11, in the Litho-
graphic Sheet of Havas, says
"The Prince of Prussia, who was sent for to Berlin
by the telegraph, is to arrive here to-morrow evening,
and it will be then decided if he is to be sent to Vienna
on a private mission, as is intended at present, to ter-
minate the negotiation relative to the position of Prussia
with respect to Austria. It is said that our Cabinet has
been requested to make known also, on its side, the
conditions which it should like to be attended to, in the
point of view of Prussian interests, in a future treaty of
peace. This rumour is connected with the indications
which were recently given in the Moniteur, and accord-
ing to which the Western Powers would be disposed to
admit that Prussia should add a fifth condition to the
four guarantees which they have themselves insisted on."

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, Oct. 12.—The Berlin correspondent of
the Oest. Deutsche Post, who ha 3 recently forwarded
intelligence of extreme interest, now informs us that
the Austrian despatch of the 30th of September led
to a crisis in the Prussian Cabinet. The Minister-
President strongly protested against a separation
from Austria at such a critical moment, bait as his
Royal master did not take the same view of things,
M. de Manteuffel, on Friday, the 6th, tendered his
resignation, and on the same day left Berlin for
his estate, Dransdorff. He was, however, recalled,
on the Bth, to Berlin, and at 10 in the morning of
the 9th a Cabinet Council was held, at which the
King presided. Before the Council met the Minis-
ters held a conference, and it is presumed M. de
Manteuffel received from his colleagues the pro-
mise of their support, as he consented to remain in
office. The Kreutz Zeitung, in its wrath against
this Government, has declared that the real object
of Prussia in concluding a treaty of alliance with
Austria was to prevent her active interference in
the Oriental question.
The Frankfort Post Zeitung has a letter of the
sth from Pesth, in which mention is made of the
zapierow unfits which, We recently t401:1 &lg*

in Hungary. The same subject was touched on
sonic days since in my correspondence, but it was
not in my power to give any particulars. We now
learn that the prisoners, " who are generally
priests, landed proprietors, and advocates," are
sent by railroad from Pesth to Vienna. Among
the advocates arrested aro Messrs. Theiss, Lombay,
and Graffel, who held office under the revolu-
tionary administration.
