PRUSSIA.

The Berlin Ministerial evening organ of the Ist
May announces that Count ARNIM has resigned, and
that Count BRANDENBURG will act as Minister for
Foreign Affairs ad interim.
An army of observation has been ordered to as-
semble on the Austro-Silesian frontier.

FRANKFORT.

The German Parliament reassembled on the 30th

ultimo.

The retirement of two Styrian and one Bavarian
Member was announced, as also that of Schmerling,
Somaraga, Moring, and six other Austrians.—(A con-
siderable sensation.) Two new Deputies took their
seats, viz., Steindorf from Schleswig, and Adam from
Ulm. .

A note sent by Sternenfels, the Plenipotentiary of
Wurtemberg, to Herr Von Gagern, anti dated April
29th, was then read, stating the King of Wurtemberg's
perfect acquiescence in the constitution, inclusive of the
chapter on the supremacy and the electoral law, and
declaring his Majesty to have nothing to object to in the
event of the King of Prussia placing himself at the
head of Germany, by consent of the National. As-
sembly.
Simon, of Triers, moved that the presidial board be
empowered to appoint extraordinary sittings of the Cen-
tral Assembly at any time, and in any place which it
might think fit; as also that 100 members be sufficient
to form a House. He would notice Herr Von Schmer-
ling's announcement of retirement—Herr Von Schmer-
ling, who had said in that House that the German State,
in the aggregate, was above everything to him, and
who bad declared in Vienna that Austria was more
than all to him—Schmerling, who had said that nego-
tiations with the Magyars had been set on foot—
Schmerling, who had affirmed that he had summoned
men of trust to his side to confer with him on the
ata of the province of the Danube—and Schmerling
(wish increased vehemence) who had now left the As-
sembly withoutrendering up any account of these matters,
but who turned his back ou them with the remark
that the Austrians and he were thrust out of the As-
sembly. Herr von Schmerling might go—but the
curses of the German people would follow him!—
(The Right quiet, but a tremendous burst of applause
from the Lett, part of the Centre, and the upper gal-

leries.)
The
.President call( d the galleries sharply to order.
M. Simon resumed. Another matter he had to allude
to was that of Wurtemberg. The King of Wurtemberg
said, before he gave in, that what he granted by
compulsion was no free vote, and might be retracted.
He (Simon) bad already stated it to be his opinion that.
the princes might have recourse to this old plan of
action, without conforming to the character of the
times. On all sides it might be seen that it was power
that had the upper hand, and not the voice of the times.
It was for the people, therefore, at once to put a stop
to this. In Berlin the Chamber had been dissolved,
blood had been shed, and martial Jaw proclaimed.—
(Groans) If the House wished to know to what the
dissolution of the Lower Chamber was
Ministry attributablehad ,
he would tell it. The Brandenburg
made proposals to the individual fractious of
the Assembly suggestive of an alliance will
Russia and Austria, one condition of which was to
be the dispatch of 40,000 Prussian troops into Bohe-
mia, toi-astnst eventually in the war against the Hun-
