PRUSSIA.
Several communications on the subject of the
Prussian in'ervention in Baden have taken place be-
tween the Prussian and Austrian Governments. On
the 13th July the Count VON BRANDENBURGH sent
the following instructions to Count VON BERNSTOFF,
the Prussian Minister at Vienna :
" The report of your Excellency, of the Bth and 10th
inst., have safely reached me.
" Your Excellency, for instance, mentions the excited
feeling created in the mind of the Austrian Ministerial
President, Prirce Schwarzenberg, by the intelligence,
that H. R. H. the Prince of Russia had protested
against the auxiliary aid of Austrian troops in Baden for
the protection of the Wurtemberg frontier.
" This not a just mode of viewing it, and I doubt not
but that Prince Schwarzenberg, on being better informed,
will see that nothing was designed to wound or offend
the Imperial Austrian Gc vernmeat.
" In order to give your Excellency complete informa-
tion of the facts, I transmit to you herewith the copies of
a letter from Prince von Wittgenstein of the 2d instant,
and of the answer from his Royal Highness the Prince of
Prussia on the 3d inst.
" The motives for declining the proposition made by
the Prince von Wittgenstein are already explained in
the last.
" They are based on the adequacy of the troops pre-
sent in the Grand Duchy of Baden to fulfil their task,
and on the position assumed by the King's Government
towards the existing provisional central power.
" It needs, therefore, only to be taken into considera-
tion, that the proffer of auxiliary aid could only be con-
sidered as tendered, not by the Imperial Government,
but by the Ministry in Frankfort. The protest—in so
far as the declining of a material, but not necessary co-
operation, can be called a protest—was not directed
against Austria, but against the Ministry of the provi-
sional central power. That a proffer of co-operation
made by the latter to his Royal Highness the Prince of
Prussia could not be accepted, necessarily results from
the position so assumed, and as Prince Schwarzenberg
will assuredly himself admit.
" The King's Government did not enter the Grand
Duchy of Baden at the request of the Central Power,
but at that of the Grand Duke himself. This was the
ground which the commander of the King's troops could
not surrender to Prince Wittgenstein. Practically, not
the slightest necessity prevailed for summoning a greater
number of troops than what was already disposable
there. The complete pacification of Baden, as well as
the protection of the Wurtemberg frontiers, could be
adequately effected by force at the disposal of his Royal
Highness; neither from Baden nor Wurtemberg was
any doubt raised, or a wish expressed for an additional
auxiliary force.
" The Prince of Prussia could hence do nothing else
save decline in his answer the attempt on the part of
Prince Wittgenstein to mix himself up in an affair which
we could necessarily only regard as a question purely
between ourselves and the Government of the Grand
Duke of Baden."
Prince SCHWARZENBERG'S instructions to Baron
PROKESCH in Berlin, dated Vienna, July 22, 1849,
ran as follows :

"In the inclosed copy of a dispatch to Count Bern-
storff, of the lath inst.,
the Prussian Government ex-
' presses the wish to explain the motives to us which in •
duced the Prince of Prussia to decline the offer made to
him on the part of the Ministry of the empire, relative
to the co-operation of an Austrian corps for putting
down the Baden insurrection.
" The proffer of the :co operation of our troops pro.
ceeded from the Provisional Central Power, under whose
disposal we had placed these troops. Consequently the
declining of that offer does not affect us, and we could
consistently recognise therein neither a protest issued
against Austria nor any other unfriendly design.
" The Baden Oberland (highlands) up to the 11th in-
stant, when the Prussian troops entered Lorrach and the
vanguard of the Imperial troops Constance, were ex-
posed to hardships by so much the more aggravated,
inasmuch as the inhabitants had testified their devotion to
the just cause; the leaders of the insurrection have nearly
all of them escaped the arm of justice, and have found a
refuge on the Swiss soil, where they are preparing new
misfortunes for the German Fatherland, about to dis-
seminate by so doing new seeds of discord between Ger-
many and the Swiss Confederation.

"How serious the dangers are which threaten us all
from that quarter, the Prussian' Government has,itself
already recognised, for it has invited us through the
medium of Count Bernstortf to forestall such danger by
energetic steps against Switzniznd. The President of
Ministers, Count von Brandenburg, judged it even ex-
pedient to express the ardent 'a ish to your Excellency
that we should fcrthwith take military occupation of the
Swiss frontiers.

" This evil might have been obviated, if our well-
equipped and disciplined army carp; had entered on the
3d instant the Grand Duchy, occupied the Swiss frontier,
and cut off the enemy's retreat.
"if we are compelled to lament from these grounds
alone, that the essential advantages have escaped us,
which so well combined a plan of operations would in-
fallibly have
.presented, we can also lament besides, that
at the same time this so favourable an opportunity was
neglected of proving to foreign countries, as well as the
i
revolutionary party n Germany, that Prussia and Aus-
tria, in spite of their difference of views still existing as
to questions on certain principles, were nevertholess in
perfect accord when it is requisite to act against the
common enemy.

" This opportunity would have been most welcome to
us, since we are convinced that the moral impression of
that unity of the two powers, as evinced by such joint
operations, would necessarily be of importance and of
great effect for the good cause.
" The ministry of the empire, acting-from powers en-
trusted to it by the Vicar of the Empire, most assuredly
contemplated only the good cause, without coupling with
it other intentions or objects.
" We are by so much the more justified in this assump-
tion, since the acceptance of this offer by Prussia would
not in the slightest degree have deranged its position
with regard to the central power.
" On the breaking out of the insurrection in Baden,
the Grand Duke applied, first of all, to the provisional
central power for assistance. In order to afford it to
him, the Imperial army corps at that time concentrated
in and around Frankfort-on-the-Maine immediately took
the field, for the Arch -Duke Vicar of the Empire, at the
urgent request of the King of Prussia, Entrusted the chief
command of it to a Prussian officer, Lieutenant-General
von Peucker.

" This Imperial army corps it was that first prevented
the revolutionary bands from trespassing beyond the
confines of Baden; and thus it rendered a great service
to the rest of Germany, when, hereupon, the appearance
of the Russian columns on the field enabled the Imperial
troops to assume the offensive.

HOLLAND.
Triu HAGUE, SEPT. 21.—1 n the sitting of the
First Chamber of the States General this day, the
PRESIDENT said the commission appointed to draw up
the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne,
bad sent it in, together with the observations of the
committee. The Address was then read and adopted
unanimously, with two amendments.
In the sitting of the Second Chamber, on the 21st,
M. VON GOBERLEIN accepted the presidency of the
Chamber, to which he had been nominated by the
KING, and delivered an appropriate speech on the oc-
casion.—Staats Courant, Sept. 22.
The Nieuwe
Rotterdamsche Courant of Sept. 22
says —" We learn that among other conferences
which took place yesterday, there was one between
M. DIRK DONKER CURTIUS and M. J. B. THORN-
"KE, and L. D. STORM, and also between M. D.
DIRK DONKER CURTIUS and N. F. A. VAN HALL.
it is said that these conferences relate to the constitu-
tion of the, new Cabinet: According to reports,
N. J. B. REMPEER has declined entering into the
new Ministerial combination, and that M. J. F.
THORNDEKE has been charged with the formation of
the new Cabinet. Frequent conferences had lately
been held at the country seat of the Minister for
Fereign Affairs, between that Minister and the French
Ambassador to the C.ourt of the Netherlands."
The exact cause of the Cabinet's resignation is not
yet known, but it is believed to be connected with
the recent election of the President and Vice-Presi-
dents of the Second Chamber from among the ranks
of the Opposition. The present financial embar-
rassment may, however, have operated to produce
this resolution on the part of his MAJESTY'S late
advisers.

The election of M. VAN GOLSTEN as President of
the Second Chamber has receivEd the Royal confir-
mation.

The Princess FREDERICK of the Netherlands has
taken her departure for Berlin with her two daughters.
DEDEL, the Netherlands Ambassador at
Hanover,of his Majesty ERNEST AUGUSTUS, who conferred
has placed his letters of recal in the hands
upon him on this occasion the cross of the Guelphic
order. Chevalier CoormAN, the Danish Charge
d'Affaires to the Netherlands Court, had the honour
to receive from his MAJESTY, in a private audience the
day before yesterday, the order of the Elephant.
Fifty-three fishing boats are being equipped this
year in the port of Scheveningen; five of them have
already put to sea.
AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 21.—An alarming fire broke
out here last night, at half-past six, at a sugar-
refiner's, and in half an hour the flames gained such
ar ascendancy
that there was no possibility of Win-

ar Hur,garian tronps enter there, at their own good
time, and not prematurely. The most vigorous rising
against Russia however, because this is least of all
conjectured, would be an expedition into the Caucasus.
Polish ofilers have been sont in numbers to the Cauca-
sus. There an understanding must be come to v.ith
them and the Cossacks. The funds can alone be fur
wished by the Magyars. YOU have thought of that
already, General, and show, that they will pay to your
signature some tens of millions. The w hole difficulty
consists in the manner of getting these funds converted
into ready money. It appears that Hungarian paper
circulates only on the spot and in Vienna. Could not
some millions be sent here by way of experiment? I
would try and get them cashed in England, or get, up a
loan on them. I adjoin a special note respecting the
concessions, that must inevitably be made to the Slaves,
if they are to join the Magyars. I must mention to
you tbat the Croatians have sent to me, and declared
their wish to separate from Austria, but that 25,000
carbines must be sent to Ancona for them. They
thought that France would furnish these, but which
could net even be spoken of here. This is so important
a subject, that it would be worth while laying out the
Hungarian money ou them. You can send them the
arms by Fiume.

guishipg them ; 24 fire-engines were speedily on the
splt, and the most prompt e.nd praiseworthy assistance
was rendered by the soldiers. Happily the wind,
which was very high and strong at the commence-
ment, changed, and thus the opposite houses, which
were ready to ignite, had time to cool, while the
inhabitants of those in the oppeite direction
had had sufficient time to make effective
arrangements. About eleven o'clock the fire was got
under. The property that was thus destroyed was
insured for 20,000 florins.—Amsterdamsche Courant,
Sept. 22.

BELGIUM.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 22—The Prince of CALLIMACHI,
the Turkish Ambassador to the French Government,
who is to be accredited to the Belgian Government,
is expected here next week. He is now at Paris
awaiting the arrival of his credentials.

%iuNLY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
Titre was a fair demand for Cotton at Liverpool on
S,-Itticelay, and the sales were estimated at about 5,000
bales, including 4,000 American, 150 Pernam and
Maranham at sed. to 61d., and 300 Surat at ,ttl. to 4' 1.
per lb. The market closed eteadily at former price 2.—
The market for Railway Shates was better at a con-
siderable advance in prices.
In Mark-lane to-day there is a steady trade, and prices
are fairly supported in every instance.
The steamer from the West Indies brings advices
which in some respects may be favourably interpreted.
In Jamaica the attention of the planters and others was
more than ever directed to the cultivation of staples, which
will pay better than sugar, and are now obtained almost
exclusively from foreign parts. There are complaints
made that the Europeans are too aristocratic i❑ their
notions, and too little inclined to work themselves, or to
instruct others in new branches of ugricultnre. Sugar and
coffee have hitherto engaged their almost undivided at-
tention. Even the ercoles had been taught that it was
disgraceful to labour. The weather had been very dry
and sultry, and agriculture had suffered in consequence,
but before the packet left fair rains had fallen, which, if
they continued, would be productive of much good.
The people of Trinidad were being stimulated by
Lord Harris to the improvement of their estates. His
Excellency had offered premiums for the
best essay upon the mineral and vegetable
capabilities of the island. The inhabitants expected
to obtain, more than any of the other colonies, an advan-
tage form the alteration in the navigation-laws, being
well situated fur trade with the Spanish Main, and ex•
pect a vast increase in the commerce carried on with
the• adjacent continent

The colony of Demerara was still unsettled by the
disputes between a portion of the Combined Court and
the Governor as to the estimates, &c. A Bill bad been
intrroduced into the Legislature to enable the
Demerara Railway to borrow 50,0001., and there
was a project for a joint stock company, which
was intended to introduce the ❑ew system of culti.•
vation, with drainage, &c., by means of cattle and
machinery.
Several of the colonies had petitioned for the more
energetic suppression of the slave-trade, and had re-
ceived favourable replies from the home Government,
and an intimation that the recognised independent State,
Libetia, would assist materially in suppressing slavery
along an extensive coast.

The Hamburgh mail of Friday last brings the rate of
exchange on London at 13 being higher again, and
with bills in request. Stocks were firth, but shares gene-
rally lower. The report of the Leipsic fair to the 18th inst.
is exceedingly favourable. The business for the eastern
trade had almost been concluded, and for years there
had not been such a large attendance of buyers from
Moldavia and Wallachia. A great deal had been done
in German silks and English textile goods generally.
The Poles were extensive purchasers; and altogether it
was long since such extensive sales had been effected, or
such full prices realised.
We learn from Vienna that bargains had been made
on the new loan, deliverable a month after the issue of
the scrip, at 85k.

The Stock Market is extremely quiet, but there is the
same firm tone as was perceptible on Saturday, and the
advance then realised is fully maintained in expectation
of some demand for re-investment upon the opening of
the Transfer-books. Consols have been 92i- to 92i for
Transfer, and 92k to 93 for Account. Exchequer-bills
have been 355. to 38s. premium, being about Is. lower.
India Bonds have realised 74; Consols now are about
92i to 9'24 for Money, and 924 to 92j for Account.
The Foreign Securities have been rather fluctuating,
principally as regards Mexican, which have alternated
from 27i to 274. The remittance of over 90,000 dollars
received for the dividends is another earnest of good in-
tention; and whether the recent proposals of Mr. Ro-
bertson arc agreed to or not will be of little importance,
provided the money comes. It is said that Messrs.
Schneider have had part of the money forwarded
to them in order to complete the payment
of the dividend which they had commenced.
Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 29 to 29k,
Brazilian small, 864; and Buenos Ayres, 481. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been marked 171 t. Belgian
Four-and•a-Half per Cents. have been film at 88i.
The Railway Share market has been decidedly higher
this morning for both the old and new lines, with more
doing. The Aberdeen Company's arrangement with the
Scottish Midland will yield, it is said, a profit of 5,000/.
to 6,000/. per annum to the former. It is ascertained
beyond a doubt that the Bearing in shares is very exten-
sive, and the outside speculators have quite as much to
do with it as people in the house.
