FRANKFORT.

We yesterday stated that the Frankfort Parliament
had come to a resolution on the 16th, urging the
Imperial Ministry to adopt energetic measures to
bring the murderers of BLum to justice. We now
give a full report of the interesting proceedings which
took place on that occasion, and also the notice of a
resolution on Prussian affairs.

GERMAN PARLIAMENT.—Nov. 16.
At twenty minutes past nine only seventy members
had , arrived ; and no great excitement was visible in the
House. The gulleries were filling fast.
The President opened the sitting at a quarter to ten,
A.M. The protocol of the last sitting was neither listened
to nor reclaimed against.
Kirchgessner then announced the report of the Com-
mittee of Austrian affairs on Simon's motion relating
to Blum's execution. He thought it unnecessary to read
the report.—(Read, read.) He accordingly read the
report in full, though it was already printed and in the
hands of the members. The latter continually cried
"slower," from sheer anxiety to hear every word dis-
tinctly. In the meanwhile Simon of Triers, Vogki, and
other members of the extreme Left were seen in busy
conference.

The report, to give a brief digest: of it, says:—" The
sitting of the 14th November was opened amid feelings
of sorrow and indignation, which were occasioned in
every mind by the news of Blum's execution, as com-
municated in private letters. It was scarcely thought
possible that this could have occurred in a German wee
tropolis, in the face of the Imperial law of the 30th Sep-
tember." After citing iSimon's motion, which, as you
have been already informed, insisted principally on
measures being taken by the Imperial Ministry "for
the discovery and punishment of the direct and in-
direct murderers of Robert Blum, of Leipsic, Deputy
to the Imperial Assembly," the repo: t refers to several
private letters, as also to an article published in the
Vienna Gazette of the 10th of November, by which the
fact of Blum's execution is placed be)ond a doubt, and
which states that Blum was "convicted, on his own con-
fession, of having made riotous speeches and of having
resisted the Imperial troops by force of arms." It then
says, "It is beyond all doubt that the position of 'Blum,
as Deputy to the Imperial Assembly in Frankfort, VW
known in Vienna at the time of his apprehension, as
Vienna papers speak of him in this capacity, &c. Bute
whether or no, the fact of his being a Member of the
National Assembly is certain, and that his arrest, Irish
and execution took place without any notice them&
being made to the Imperial Assembly. This • eisauctly
proves the violation of the law of the 30th Bete
tember (see Art. I), which law came into
force in Vienna at the very latest on the 20th
October ultimo, though by a special provision attached
to this law it in reeky ought to have come into forge on
the day of its publication in the Imperial Law Journal:
. . The committee thinks there is, upon the
whole, full ground for the motion of Simon p but it ob-
jects to certain words, authority for their use not being
clearly established. Finally, it moves :—" The Na-
tional Assembly, solemnly protesting before all Gets
many against the arrest and execution of Robert Blunt,
which acts were consummated in total disregard of the
Imperial law of the 30th of September ult., calls upon
the Imperial Ministry to adopt the most strenuous mea-
sures for calling these parties to account who either
directly or indirectly bear the guilt of the offence, and
for securing their punishment. The reporter then
stated that Franke, the only dissentient member of the
committee, had intended to have added a separate mo-
tion of his own, but upon second consideration had
thought it best not to do so. They had not not now .to
determine whether Blum -had been guilty or not, nor
whether his punishment was duly proportioned to :the
offence ; but whether the law of the Imperial Assembly
(speaking with warmth) bad been directly violated. .1
The Assembly rose in a body in confirmation 'of the
urgency of the committee's motion.
The President said two or three other motions on this
subject had been handed in. Before reading them, be
must ask whether the Assembly would divide on
the 131b-
tion of the committee at once, without debate?,---
(Agreed to unanimously.)
The motion of the committee was then "harried
unanimously, as far as the President could distinguish,i,'
including the suffrages of three Ministers, Schmerling,
Mohl, and Beckerath. We saw no others present. ,
order prevailed. •
Nauwerck moved," That the National Assembly call
upon the Imperial Ministry to command the revocation
on the part of Prussia of the orders for disarming the
Burgher Guard, as also of the state of siege in Berlins
and further, that an Imperial commissary be expressly
dispatched to Berlin to .enforce this resolution."—
Urgency negatived, and the motion referred to coin-
mittee.

The ARCHDUKE REGENT held s review of the Im-
perial troops and Burgher Guards on the 16th. lie
was received in solemn silence—" No one cried GOD
bless him."
