PRUSSIA.

-----
In the Prussian Chamber of Deputies, on the sth,
M. DS BECKERATII, pursuant to notice, demanded
explanations from the Government on the German
question. The Minister of Foreign Affairs said he
regretted that he could not, fur the present, enter
into explanations on the negotiations with Austria
for the creation of a Central Provisional Govern-
ment. But the Government intended, he said, to
maintain its programme relative to the maintenance
of the restricted Federal State, and had submitted to
the Council of Administration a series of regulations
for the future Diet. It had opened negotiations
with the other Governments for the application to all
the States of the electoral law of the Constitution of
the 26th May, and would shortly propose to the
Council a day for the convocation of the Parliament.
On the 4th and sth both Chambers proceeded with
the revision of the Constitution.
A letter from Berlin of the sth, addressed to
the Independance of Brussels, says—" The treaty
between Prussia and Austria on the German ques-
tion has been signed at Vienna, subject to the
ratification of Prussia. M. DE BERNSTOR
FF,
Prussian Envoy at Vienna, had received intructions
which left him a good deal of liberty. Austria
demanded modifications on three principal points.
SLe proposed not to mention in the treaty
the question of precedency, but to leave it to the
prudence of the four Commissioners. She also pro.
posed to adhere to the Prussian project, not to allow
Envoys for particular states; but to establish an encep-
tion for extraordinary missions. With respect to arbi-
trators, Austria proposed that she and Prussia should
name two Princes, one for each Power, from among all
the German Princes, and that they should afterwards
appoint two Commissioners, with power to choose a
third, in the event of a difference of opinion. Nothing
precise appears to be fixed in the treaty respecting the
Federal State. But, notwithstanding M. de Bernstorff's
acceptance of the different conditions, Prussia hesitates
to agree to them, especially to that relative to arbitra-
tors."

1 SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.
News had been received from Schleswig that a
conflict had arisen between the new Administration
and the High Court of Appeal at Kiel, respecting the
liberation of a Danish spy.
At Flensburg the same authority had ordered the
closing of the Casino club of that town by the police,
on account of the holding of illegal meetings. Some
opposition was at first offered to this measure, but an
intimation of the police inspector that Swedish troops
would be called in to enforce it, produced its effect,
and the doors of the club were closed. Many excesses,
however, were committed in other places.
The commanders of the Prussian troops in Schles-
wig had received positive orders to have recourse to
arms in the event of a renewal of disturbances on the
arrival of the new functionaries commissioned by the
Administration.
Baron VON PACRLIN of Copenhagen had arrived at
Berlin, with the object (as it is stated) of joining
M. VON REEDTZ in the negotiations for peace. M.
"VON lIAanoN, chief of the Schleswig-Holstein
department for Foreign Affairs, had also arrived in
Berlin.

The Danish papers report on the efforts made by
the famous M. ORLI LEHMANN, and his success in
working on the French press in favour of the Dan-
ish cause, and on the relations of the Danish Govern-
ment with M. BERTIN. This report especially turns
on the immense circulation he has effected of M.
WEGENER'S translation of the Duke of AUGUSTE:I.'
BURG'S private papers, seized by the Danes on the
island of Alsen.
From Sweden there is nothing new of importance
The royal family was returning to Stockholm.
