FRANKFORT.

In the Allgemeine Zeitung of Friday there appeared
the following protest from the ultra-Democratic
Members of the Frankfort Assembly, relative to the
course taken in reference to the Berlin Parliament :
" The undersigned Members of the German State
Assembly have heard, with the deepest grief, that the
majority of the Assembly yesterday exercised a most
improper influence over measures which, in the
present state of conflict existing between the Crown
of Prussia and the Prussian National Assembly,
is most prejudicial. We are still impressed with
the conviction, that the history of Prussia
and Germany is now arrived at that point of
which it must bo decided whether the freedom and unity
of Germany is to be renewed in a quiet and workman-
like manner, or rather, whether it shall be won by per-
haps a most blocdy revolution. We are perfectly satis-
fied that at the present moment the occurrences of a
single day may affect the position of our people for a
long time to come, and therefore we will not be silent,
but will call upon the noble people of Prussia; and we
say to them—stand fast as one man by your national
representatives. Follow implicitly their advice. Sacri-
floe for it all that is dear to you, and you will obtain
what is dearest of all—freedom! It is as clear as the
light of the sun, that right exists on the side of your
representatives. The mere comparison of the National
Assembjy, which, in the question :of its functions, and
even of s existence, stands en en equality with the
Crown itself, with the rude power of the Crown, is an
insult to the people themselves.
." Is it not known that any guilty meddling can have
no other result than the most lamentable excesses, which
must inevitably bring back those legal measures of se-
verity, which can never again be in force without doing
saious injury to the freedom of the people ? Prussians,

Your history and that of Germany generally, are indis-
solublri bound up together. Turn out then f, r the
righteous struggle. We on our parts shall be true to
Yr,u; unity and freedom shall be victorious."

ITALY.

ROME.

The latest accounts received direct from Rome
state that the POPE was besieged by the people in the
Quirinal ; and the Diario di Roma of the 18th states
that he at that time meditated flight. The Alba of
Florence of the 23d gives the following account of
the progress of the insurrection. It will be seen that
the son of LITCIEN BONAPARTE, the Prince of
CANINO, is one of the chiefs of the insurgents. The
Alba says:—
" As soon as the Pope had consented to change his
Ministry, and had accepted the conditions which the
Democrats had dictated to him, it was announced to
the people who were splitting the air with their cheers,
that if they would be for a moment silent, M.
Galetti would come and give them an account of all
that had been done. Quietness was immediately re-
stored, and M. Galetti came and announced, first, that
the Pope would leave it to the Legislative Chambers
to determine on the demands of the people ' • and,
secondly, that a new ministry had been formed. M.
Galetti added that it was necessary that all feeling of
hatred and vengeance against the. Swiss troops should be
laid aside, and that the more especially because many
brave men of that nation had fought for the cause of
Italy at Vicenza. lie then requested the National
Guards to go home, and ordered the troops to return to
their barracks.

" Immediately after this news became known the
troops defiled through the Corso, which was magnifi-
cently illuminated. The National Popular Club met at
half-past five in the afternoon ; MM. Sterbini, Vincig-
nerra, Bonaparte, Spini, Pinto, and other members were
present, and for the sake of public tranquillity they re•
solved to issue a proclamation.
" Half-past Seven.—The Club has written to Colonel
Stewart, the Commandant of the Castle of St. Angelo,
to continue in the command of that fort. He immedi-
ately gave in his adherence. ,It is announced that half
of the dragoons kept back by Col. Savini do not frater-
nize with the people. :Orders have been given for the
dismissal of the Colonel, and' for his being succeeded
provisionally by Major Piccinetti. It is now said that
the dragoons have come over to the people.
"Eight o'Clock.—Notice has been sent to the Cham-
ber of Deputies to inform the President of the measures
adopted by the Popular Club for the preservation of
order, and to invite that body to send a deputy; but the
Chamber bad adjourned before the arrival of the
message."
The Diario di Roma of the 18th instant has the
following:—
" The Pope intends to escape from Rome; last night
he was kept under strict guard; he will not give way.
Several ambassadors of foreign powers encourage him.
A Spanish ship is ready to take him either to Malta or
Marseilles; the Cardinals have almcst all fled. The
Popular Club now governs alone at Rome; to-morrow
or the day after the Chamber will be constituted, and
the people will present to it as the first question that of
an Italian Constituent Assembly. The Pope has written
a letter to the ambassadors, in which he takes leave of
them."

The following declaration has been published by
the Popular Club :
" The country is in the greatest danger. The blood
of our citizens has stained our soil. At this decisive mo-
ment it is the duty of all good citizens to devote them-
selves for the public safety. The Popular Club assumes
the grave respoEsibility of adopting provisional mea-
sures necessary to assure the life, honour, and pros-
perity of every Roman, and to consolidate order until
a Government shall have been formed. The people are,
in consequence, apprised that the centre of operations is
fixed in the Popular Club at the Fiano Palace. All good
citizens are invited to respect the measure which shall
emanate from that centre, as representing the true and
absolute will of the people.
" Dated from the Popular Club, 16th Nov., 1848."
The military authorities and the colonels of regi-
ments having been invited to send officers to the
Club to concert measures with it, the general staff
established at the Pilotta sent a deputation of su-
perior officers to the club, who declared that they
were fully disposed to execute the will of the people
and to protect their rights, guaranteeing, however,
the inviolability of the sacred person of the PONTIFF.
M.M. STERBINI, VINAGUERRA, SPINY, and PINTO
replied in terms of gratitude, and 'assured the deputa-
tion that the POPE'S person was the object of the
veneration of all, and that the ecclesiastical govern-
ment should be fully guaranteed. It was then re-
solved to reinforce the gates of the prisons and to send
patrols into the districts where danger to property
might exist, to maintain order.
A detachment of dragoons arrived at the Fiano
Palace, and the Commander placed them at the or-
ders of the Club for the transmission of dispatches.
_ _

The battalion of Transteveri, to the number of 300
men, offered to place themselves at the orders of
the Club. At half-past seven o'clock a letter was
written from the Club to Colonel OTEWAxI, tho
Commander of the Castle of St. Angelo, to re-
tain his command, to which he assented. It
was announced that half of a regiment of dra-
goons, restrained by Colonel SAVIRI, would not
fraternise with the people. Orders were immediately
issued to cashier the Colonel and to give the com-
mand provisionally to Major PICCINETTI. At eight
o'clock a message was sent from the club to the
Chamber of Deputies to inform the President
of the measures adopted by the Popular Club,
and to request him to send a deputy. An
answer was returned, saying that the Chamber
was closed. It was subsequently announced to the
Club that the new Ministry had been formed.
The new Ministers were invited to meet on the
following day at the residence of Abb6 RoSMINI. A
courier was dispatched to MAMIANI at Genoa
to invite him to return to Rome. The re-
presentatives of the Popular Club then re-
signed their functions. The Ministers, GALLETTI and
STERBINI, commanded that all the extraordinary
precautions adopted should no longer be enforced.
They invited the Civic Guard to watch over the
maintenance of public order. They then withdrew,
in the midst of the enthusiastic applause of the peo-
ple, who cried " The Line, the Cardinals, Fraternity,
and Union for ever." The Abbe RosMINI had re-
fused to accept the Presidency of the Council of
Ministers. He was replaced by Cardinal MUzzARELLI.
A letter from Leghorn of the 22d inst., states that
TERENCE MAMIANI, the new Roman Minister, had
arrived there on his passage from Genoa, and that he
had received a visit on board the steam-boat on which
he was a passenger from the Tuscan Minister GUER •
RAZZ!, during which they had a long conversation.
