GERMANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

PRUSSIA.

We read in the Cologne Gazette, under date of
Frankfort, 29th Dec.:—
" It is said in Parliamentary circles, that as far back
as one month since, the Government of Wurtemberg
notified to the Central Power at Frankfort its readiness
to acknowledge the supremacy of a head of the Empire
in the person of the King of Prussia. Herr von Selmer-
ling is said to have kept back this dispatch till the very
eve of his departure (?) I3randenburgh has openly
taken the above step, and the Government of one of the
southern states of Germany is reported ready to do the
same."

The Suabian Mercury says, under the head Hohen-
zollern-Sigmaringen, Dec. 21—" It is at length posi-
tively certain that a proclamation will be immediately
issued, stating our Government will be transferred to
the Crown of Prussia. The Prince quitted us for
Berlin, for the purpose of resigning the Government
into the hands of the Kino. Whether this transfer
will include the principality of Heckingen is un-
certain."

General WRANGEL gave a dinner to his officers on
the 28th; when he gave the last toast, upon lifting
up his glass, he said " Gentlemen, to our re-union
on the shores of the Rhine."

M. VENUNE, President of the Superior Tribunal
of Munster, was arrested on the 28th, by a warrant
issued from the Criminal Chamber, charged with
having attempted to put into execution the decree
of the National Assembly refusing the payment of
taxes. M. VENUNE, having been examined, protested
against his arrest, on the ground that the tribunal
was not an impartial one, in consequence of having
impeached the KING : and because that the crime
alleged against him had been committed at Berlin.
lie also added that he should complain to the Minister
of Justice of the steps taken against him by the
tribunal.

AUSTRIA.
THE CAPTURE. OF RAAB.
VIENNA, DEC. 29.—Raab is taken! Early on
Wednesday morning the Commander-in-Chief
directed two columns to cross the Danube at two
points, above the town and below it. The
latter crossing was effected at the juncture of
the river Raab with the Danube, and the
whole of the manoeuvre was intended to cut off the
retreat of the Hungarian army. The Commander-
in-Chief advanced meanwhile with the reserve
corps to the banks of the Rabnitz, over which he
threw a bridge, the construction of which was
scarcely completed when he was informed of the
retreat of the Hungarians, who had abandoned
their fortifications and fallen back in two columns,
one taking the road to the fortress of Comorn, and
the other proceeding in the direction or Oft,. On
his way to the town of Raab, Prince WINDISSEP.
GRATZ was met by a deputation of citizens, who pre-
sented him with the keys of Raab, cheered him,
and illuminated the city in the course of the evening.
Prince WINDISCHGRATZ found it impossible to inter-
cept the retreat of the Hungarians ; his light horse
succeeded, indeed, in closing with the rear of the
enemy, and one officer and nine privates of the hus-
sars were captured.

The Indei endence Beige of the 31st ult. states that
