PRUSSIA.

In the Berlin Constituent Assembly on the 7th
inst., the President of the Council declined to answer
a question, having in view the ascertaining what mea-
sures were taken to protect the Prussian frontiers
against Russia. The Minister of Finance declared
that the funds in the national treasury, instead of
diminishing during the last six or seven years, had
increased.

FRANKFORT.

SERIOUS RIOTS-COLLISION WITH THE

MILITRAY-BARRICADES.

Serious riots occurred in one of the suburbs of
Frankfort on Tuesday night. The suburb is named
Sachsenhausen, and is situated on the opposite bank
of the river Maine to Frankfort, the communication
with which is kept up by a bridge. It appears that
the populace of this suburb had thought proper to
charivari a baker and to destroy his house.'
On the authorities sending the gendarmerie to
arrest the rioters, so powerful an opposition was pre-
sented to them, that they had to fall back, and even
when assisted by a party of military, were unable to
quell the riot. Some firing now took place, by which
one of the soldiers was killed and several wounded.
The rioters then drove the military out of the suburb,
and erected a barricade on the bridge which connects
Sachsenhausen with Frankfort.
This was of so formidable a character and so
strongly defended, that on the Burgher Guard coming
up they did not judge it expedient to attempt to force
it, but were content to protect the other end of the
bridge, and prevent the rioters from invading Frank-
fort.
Both parties maintained their posts all night, but
withdrew in the grey of the morning, and as many
of the " Sachsenhauseners" are market-gardeners,
they thought fit, for the passage of their own carts
into Frankfort, to remove the barricade. Several
persons were arrested the next day in Frankfort,
amongst others the President of the Mechanics'
Union. According to the latest accounts tranquillity
had been restored.
The riot was totally devoid of political character.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The armies remain in their positions on the Schles.
wig and Jutland frontier, and no movement of the
slightest importance has taken place since the Danes
retired from Hadersleben.
