patch from General OUDINOT, dated Castel Guido,
13th bray, noon, announcing that the Consul of Wur-
temburg, accompanied by a Roman superior officer,
had just brought to head- quarters overtures for peace.
We read in the Semaphore of Marseilles of the loth
instant :

" The trading packet the Sully entered this port
yesterday, having left Civita V( echia on the 11th,Leg-
horn on the evening of the 12th, and Genoa on the
morning of the 13th. The expeditionary corps, corn•
manded by General Oudinot, still occupied the same
positions ; but it was said that it would soon march on
Rome. At Leghorn, the Austrians had been very strict
in their repression. We are told thlit after tho capitula-
tion, the insurgents who were iutrenched in the calledral
fircd ou the Austrian soldiers who were taking their
repast in the principal iquare. The latter immediately
discharged grape shot into the church, and we are
assured, that such of the insurgents as escaped were
afterwards shot. According to some passengers by the
Sully, numerous executions had taken place ; the
Austrians having shot, without form of trial, any person
they met bearing arms or wearing the uniform of the
National Guard."

The National says :—" On Wednesday, at half-
past five in the evening, General RAOUL, commanding
the artillery of the first military division, went to
Vincennes. He was quite unexpected, but half an
hour after the object of his visit was known. An
orderly officer arrived from Paris with a dispatch from
him, and immediately the Colonel of the 6th
Regiment was told that his regiment must immedi-
ately prepare to start for La Fere. It is usual in
such cases to give regiments some days to make their
preparations; but it appears that the presence of the
6th was very dangerous fOr the Ministry of M. 130-
NAPARTE, for this regiment cornarenced its march at
daybreak yesterday. The precipitation with which
they were ordered off by M. RuLmEnn was such
that the troops went away without bread. We
are curious to ascertain the cause of the striking dis-
grace inflicted on this regiment. But what will re-
main without being explained is, that its Colonel has
been still more ill-treated. He received on Wednes-
day evening, at half-past ten, the order to proceed
without delay in the direction of Saint Omer, and to
give up the command immediately to the Lieutenant •
Colonel."

The National and Siècle state that Father VEN-
TURA, who had bad an interview with General OUDI•
NOT at the camp of Palo, had just arrived in Paris.
A perfect panic prevailed at the Bourse to-day, and
considerable full took place in the price of Govelnicent
securities. The Five per Cents. opened at 87f., rose to
87f. 40c., fell to 85f. 80e., and closed at 861'. 80e., being
a fall of three per cent. since yesterday in the passage of
the Opera.

The debate on the reduction in the budget, pro•
posed by Senor BERUDEZ DE CASTRO, was brought
to a close on the 12i.h, and his proposition was re-
jected by 144 to 26. In the course or the debate,.
Senor AION, the Finance Minister, made the following
observations on the subject of the Foreign Debt.
With respect to the censure bestowed by Senor POLO
on the Government, for the answer given to the
foreign creditors, which had produced a rise in the
Spanish funds abr,:_•ad, Senor MoN said "the Govern-
ment merely replied by manifesting the desire which
it has to pay that, as well as other debts: I declare,
therefore, that no reply of the Government ought to
have produced either a rise or fall in foreign coun-
tries, it having only answered that our desires to
pay everything were so great as the impossibility of
doing so.'

On the subject of the public debt, Senor MON made
the following observations in opposing the proposed
reduction in the property-tax :
" Besiths, gentlemen, the Government cannot forget
that we have a debt of 14,000 millions (140 millions
sterling), and that !ebt proceeds from the constant dif
ference which there has always been in Spain between
the estimates of expenditure and of revenue. To the
Juros, and other debts, which compose the old standing
accumulation of 7,C00 millions, and which debt we in-
herited, there bas been aggregated as much more up to
this time, in consequence of loans contracted in 1823, in
1834, and at other epochs, and of the extraordinary ex-
penses and losses occasioned by the wars; in fine, a debt
has been crested which compels us to expenses and
sacrifices which it is not possible for any good adminis-
tration to think of avoiding. Taking into account the
well-understood interests of the country, it should pro-
ceed, in consequence thereof, without being deterred by
ephemeral unpopularity, and hoping for justice from its
contemporaries, or at least from history."
The Bolsa was closed on the 13th.

dated Hagen, the 13th, from which it appears that the
who!e of Brandenburg is in open insurrection. The
people of Tserlohn have pillaged the arsenal of the
Landwehr, and carried oft the arms. Barricades have
been erected in ti:e streets, and all the male population
is under arms. At Hagen and the other environs,
everything convertible into weapons was seized, and
the inhabitants rushed to the assistance of .I.serlohn.
A deputation was sent to the latter city by the com-
tnandant of Munster, commanding it to cApitulate :
one of the condLions was the restoration, within 48
hours, of all the arms carried off from the arsenal,
under the threat that Tserlohn would otherwise be
most rigorously dealt with, and the city declared in a
state of siege.

A popular assembly was immediately held at
Tserlohn, by about 1,000 armed men from Ilagt,n,
Minden, and the other environs. The propositions
were rtjected, and a declaration made that no arms
should be returned until the KING had dismissed his
present Ministry, and recognised the constitution of
the empire._ _ _

A Provisional Government has been formed at
Carlsruhe, under the name of "Commission of the
Country," consisting of Messrs. BRENTANO, HEIN-
RICH, HAFF, RICHTER, A. GOEGG, \VERNER, and
REBMANN. This Commission published the follow-
ing proclamation on the 14th :
" Fellow-citizens!—Thirtee n months of a painful com-
bat, thirteen mAiths of difficult sacrifices have been psssed
through. During that time we have only been sustainkcl
by the hope that our fine country would recover liberty,
and a fraternal bond would unite all Germans. But,
no sooner had the constitution been definitively voted,
than the conspiracy of the Kings broke out, as also their
perfidious alliance with the Czar of Russia, to enslave
the German people, who proved their generosity in the
month of March last year. Iu a word, the counter-
revolution displays itself boldly and unmasked. Fellow-
citizens! in such a struggle the brave army, our
brethren and yours, could not hesitate to see that their
duty called them to the side of the people. They have
felt that, as children of the country, they ought to com-
bat for the liberty of the people, for the unity of Ger-
many, and the grandeur of the nation. Accordingly,
the army has joined you. It does not combat against
the people, but against the enemies of the liberty of the
country. This union of the army with the people was
nor a sufficient motive to induce the GRAND DUKE to
take to flight; but Ministers guilty of treason gave him
the advice to do so; and they have abandoned the Go-
vernment, and given up the affairs of the country to
chance. Fellow•citizens, in recalling to mind the en-
gagement which we took before the great assembly of
the people at Offenburg, and obeying the wishes of the
communal authorities, we have this afternoon entered
the town, at the head of our brave soldiers. We will
employ all our efforts to protect persons and pro•
perry, by establishing a popular form of Go•
vernment. We will do all that may depend
on us to carry on the Government. We will remain in the
place which has been assigned to us by our duty and by
the wish of the people, until the people shall have detet-
mined on the form of Government. Fellow citizens, our
task is difficult, but we feel that we have the energy ne-
cessary to fulfil it. Second our efforts, and we Cu not
tioubt that lib. rty will end by triumphing.

A letter from Mannheim, of the 14th, states that
no sooner did the intelligence of the events at Canis-
ruhe reach that town than the soldiers refused to
obey their officers, joined the people, and promenaded
the town with them arm in arm, singing revolution-
ary songs, and crying, "Long live iIEcKEE, the
Republican chief!"

PRUSSIA.
The Berlin State Gazette of the 16th, contains the
following proclamation of the King of PRUSSIA :
" To my People,—Under the pretext of the German
cause the enemies of the country have raised the standard
of rebellion in the neighbouring kingdom of Saxony and
in several parts of southern Germany. To my great
sorrow, a few blinded individuals have even in our tern-
tory allowed themselves to be seduced to follow tha'
standard and to overthow Divine and human order in
open rebellion against the legal authorities. In so serious
and dangerous a moment I feel the necessity of speaking
a few sincere words to my people. I have not been able
to consent to the offer of a crown on the part of the Ger-
man National Assembly, because the Assemby had not
the right to give away the crown it offered me without
the approval of the German governments, and because it
was offered me under the condition of accepting a Con-
stitution which was irreconciletsble with the rights and
the security of the German States. In vain I have tried
and employed every means to come to an understanding
'with the German National Assembly. I strove in vain
to bring it back to the limits of its mandate and of right,
which did not consist in the absolute and irrevocable es-
tablishment, but in the conciliation of a German Consti-
tution; and even after all my efforts had proved vain, I
did not break with the Assembly in the hopes of a final
pacific solution. But after the Assembly had entirely
abandoned the ground of right, law, and duty by
votes, against which honourable men bad struggled
in vain, after it had accused us of having broken
peace, because we had given our neighbour in
trouble victorious assistance, atter it had appealed to
open resistance against me and the governments, who,
like me, had refused to accept the disastrous conditions
of the Constitution, it is the Assembly that has broken
with Prussia. Its majority is no longer composed of
those men to whom Germany has looked up with pride
and confidence. A large number seceded freely when
the path of ruin was begun, and I have recalled, by m
yesterday's ordonnance, all the Prussian deputies whoy
still belonged to it. 'The same will be done by other Go-
vernments. In the Assembly a party now reigns which
is in coalition with those men of terror, who assume the
unity of Germany for a pretext, but, in reality, excite
the struggle of impiety, perjury, and rapine against
thrones, in order to overthrow with them the protec-
tion of right, freedom, and property. The atrocities
which have been committed at Di esden, Breslau, and
Elberfeld, under the hypocritical cry of German unity,
g!ve melancholy proofs of it ; other atrocities have
been committed, and are still being prepared. These
enormities have caused the hope of effecting the unity
of Germany by the National Assembly of Frankfort to be
lost; but I have not yet despaired of it, as I declare
sincerely and according to my royal conviction. My
Government has taken up, in conjunction with the
plenipotentiaries of the great German states who have
joined me, the task commenced at Frankfort, of forming
a German Constitution. This Constitution will shortly
give to the nation what it has the right to expect and
enact—its unity manifested by an executive unitary go-
vernment, representing worthily and powerfully abroad
the name and interests of Germany ; and its liberty
guaranteed by a national representation with legislative
power. The constitution drawn up by the National
Assembly has served as the basis of this, and only the
clauses which, arising from the struggles and conces-
sions of parties were injurious to the welfare of the
country, will be modified. This. constitution will
be submitted to the approval of all the States
which shall join the Federation. Let Germany
have confidence in the patriotism and probity of the Prus-
sian Government—its confidence will not be disappointed.
Such is my policy. Madness or falsehood alone can, in
presence of such facts, have affirmed that I have re-
nounced the cause of German unity, and that I had be-
come faithless to my former convictions and promises.
Prussia is called upon in these difficult times to protect
Germany against her internal and external enemies. She
is bound to perform this duty, and she will perform it.
I therefore now call my people to arms. We must re-es-
tablish order and law in our own country, and in the other
countries of Germany who have need of our support.
The object to be attained is the foundation of German
unity, and to protect its liberty against the terrorism
of a party who would sacrifice to its passions mora-
lity, honour, and good faith—of a party who have
succeeded in deceiving and misleading a portion of the
people. The danger is great, but deception will not
stand against the good sense of my people. Old Prussian
fidelity, the ancient glory of the Prussian arms, will re-
spond to the appeal of the King. It my people are with
me as I am with them, with sincerity and confidence,
h benedictions. of God and a magnificent victory wilt
notte
fail us.

At Fribourg, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, on the
14th, the soldiers drove away their officers and were
about to proceed to elect others. A Wurtemberger
General,. stationed near the town, sent to say that if
they should not make an unconditional submission
before twelve o'clock next day, he would attack the

town. The Committee of Public Safety hAd de.
dared itielf in permanence. The Governor Mili-
tary Commandant, and several families of the town,
had taken flight. The rebels were 3,500 strong Ns ith
eight cannon.

The Government of Hesse Darmstadt sent a bat.
talion of infantry to Germersheim to protect the
Grand Duke of BADEN, but it was met at Frei-
derschsfeld by a number of armed men, who com-
pelled it to quit the territory of Baden.

FRANKFORT.
In the sitting of the German Parliament of the
16th the appointment of the new Ministry was an-
nounced. It is considered that this Ministry has been
appointed with the intention of driving the Liberals
to the commission of some rash act, which may give
the reactionary party an excuse for having recourse
to violence. The Prussian Deputies have protested
against the order of the KING recalling them from
Frankfort. The following is a report of the pro-
ceedings :
GERMAN PARLIAMENT.—MAY 16.
The President said that the administrator had sent
for him at three P.M., and had announced to him the
arrival of Colonel Fescher, the expected Prussian Com-
missary, who, he added, was furnished with two-fold in.
stluctions:-1. To order the retirement of the Prussian
Deputies from the National Assembly. 2. To see how
aff:tirs in Frankfort stood.
Peals of laughter followed the latter announcement,
and a groan of indignation the former one. Thirty-
right Prussians at once put in a written protest against
the or der eaticellirg their mandate.
Widenmann immediately moved as urgent, that no
individual Government had a right to nudity the elec..
tious to the National Assembly, and thereby threaten
the dissolivion of the Assembly; and that the order of
the Prussian Government was accordingly invelid, and
in no vv.), binding. Widenmann added that it would be
only offering an insult to the Assembly to waste a word
in the defence of his motion.--(Loud cheers.)
The motion was carried. Ayes, 287; Noes, 2; majo-
rity for the motion, 285; non-voters, 10.—(Cheers.)
Mittermaier moved to the same effect, with regard to
the order issued by Austria, in April last, for the recal
of her deputies.
His motion also was carried by a large majority. It
will be remembered that two-thirds of the Austrian
members, or more, have already left.
Grawell and Reichensperger announce their retire-
ment from the Assembly.—(Sensatiou.) A pause of a
few moments and Grawell is seen entering in full dress.
A burst of clamorous laughter is his welcome. The
Members and the ladies in the gallery rise spontaneously
from their seats out of pure excitement. Grawell seats
himself on the Ministerial benches. The wrath and
ridicule of the Assembly is poured forth plenteously
upon him.
The President said he had an announcement to make.
Simon rushed to the rostrum. The Committee of
Thirty, he said, had, with sixteen votes against twelve,
framed the following resolution :-1. That a Regency of
five Members be elected to carrry out the Constitution.
2. This Regency should take oath to the Constitution.
3. That, with the administration of the said oath the
agency of the Central Power should cease. 4. That the
Regency cease to govern the moment the constitutional
head of the empire enters upon office.
The Administrator's party fiercely opposed both
the urgency of the motion as regarded immediate debate,
and the making it the subject 01 discussion to-morrow.
Considerable altercation ensued. The motion for a
sittingon the morrow, the 17th, was rejected. The Left
Immediately mustered 103 signatures, and called upon
the President to appoint an extraordinary sitting for
the 17th.
The Conservative party grew wrath spin, and ex-
pressed doubts as to the genuineness of the signatures.
The President said it was his business to satisfy
himself on that point ; the demand of the 103 Mem-
bers was in perfect order, and he must, therefore, ap-
point a sitting, as requested, for tour rm., to-morrow,
the 17th. The determination of the order of the day,
would, in this case, rest with the Member who had de-
manded the sitting.
Grawell, who had left the Assembly more than once,
at last made his appearance.
The President then notified the receipt of a note from
the ad interim Minister, Herr Von Gagern, informing
the Assembly that the Administrator had appointed Dr.
Grawell (of Frankfort-on-the-Oder) to be Minister of
the Interior and ad interim President of the Council.
Grawell said a few words about his consciousness of
the difficulty of his situation, his readiness to do his
duty; it being evident, at least, he said, that in his
advanced age, neither vanity nor ambition had induced
him to accept the post assigned to him. The House
would acknowledge that he could not have done
otherwise than retire from the Assembly, as it
would not have been advisable to have taken up a hostile
