BAVARIA.

Letters from Munich, of the 12th April, state that
the Diet is actively engaged in the question of the
elections for the German Parliament. In the sitting
of the 11th it was decided that every person of full age
belonging to the State of Bavaria, and paying a direct
tax, should have the privilege of voting; and that
every German, of full age, and belonging to the
State, shall be eligible. This decision was referred to
the Upper Chamber, and will be brought under dis-
cussion to• morrow.

The ex-King LUDWIG was to leave Munich on the
13th for Switzerland, where he will remain for some
time. It is supposed that his EX-MAJESTY is about
to join LOLA MONTEZ at Vevay.

OPENING OF THE AMIENS RAILWAY.—The Amiens
Railway was opened yesterday. There is now therefore
an uninterrupted railway communication between Paris
and Boulogne, and, thanks to the admirable arrange-
ments of the South-Eastern Railway Company, travel-
lers can now go from London to Paris in thirteen hours.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Minister of Marine at Copenhagen has pub-
lished an account of the proceedings of vessels of war,
which was transmitted by the naval officer Captain
PALUDAN, dated steamer Geiser, in Flensburg Har-
bour, April 9, from which the following is taken :
" Flensburg Harbour, steamer Geiser,
April 9, 1848.
" With great satisfaction I have the honour to inform
you that Flensburg is in our power. The loss on our
part in killed and wounded I am not at present able to
give you. The troops have suffered considerably : the
♦essels have only lost two men.
" The part which the naval force was to take in the
action had been arranged with Colonel Schleppegrell,
who commanded the left wing; it was agreed that the
corvettes Galathea, Najade, and the brig St. Thomas,
should be laid so as to command the road north-east of
Flensburg, and be able to clear the wood.
" The gun-boats and sloops arrived in Flensburg har-
bour at the moment that the troops attacked the northern
entrance to the town, and they assisted most effectually
in the attack on the town.

" A row-boat from each of the corvettes, commanded
by Lieutenants Lund ani Holbok, was sent with the
Skirner and the gun-boats, and the whole detachment,
under the command of Captain Bilk, behaved with great
skill and bravery, as was the case with all t ngaged, who
vied with each other in showing that they were animated
by true Danish feelings.
"Further details I will transmit to-morrow, as I am
obliged to send the Skirner and Geiser to tuke 500 to 600
prisoners to Sonderburg.
(Signed) "PALUDAN."
The following is the report of the operations on
shore :

FLENSBURG, APRIL 9.

At half. past two o'clock the troops of his MAJESTY
entered this town on different sides with little loss
on our part; but the insurgents lost many in killed
and wounded. Captain HEGERMANN LINDENKRONE,
one of our bravest officers, was shot in the body in
the attack on Bau. His MAJESTY loses in him a
valuable officer.

At the head of a column I arrived at Flensburg
and entered the town, which submitted to the KING,
Everywhere, as we passed through the streets, flags
and hurrahs greeted us. Major K INDT commanded
at Bau.

(Signed)

BAGGESEN.

The Danish accounts add that the whole of the
advanced guard of the insurgents is destroyed, and a
list is given of the names of such of the prisoners as
had arrived at Copenhagen.
The number of prisoners taken by the Danes
is 714.

The official account gives the loss of the Danes at
8 officers and 68 non-commissioned officers and
privates.

The following is an extracted from the Berlingsche
(Copenhagen) Journal:—" As our troops are ad-
vancing, it must soon appear whether Prussia will
have war or not. 'We have naval power, and this
must be employed in every direction to make
reprisals, and Germany will soon learn that we are
able to destroy her trade and navigation. But we
must not hesitate to act so soon as we know the hos-
tile intentions of Prussia, Mecklenburg, and the other
Powers of the German Confederation. Not only
must the German harbours be blockaded, but also the
navigation of the Elbe, and our unfriendly neigh-
bours in Hamburgh, with ungrateful and treacherous
Altona, must suffer."

A regiment of Oldenburgh troops passed through
Hamburgh on the 14th, and twelve cannon and four
howitzers of Hanoverian artillery crossed the Elbe
on the same day.
On the 14th of April the head-quarters of the Hol-
stein troops were at Achterwehr, on the road from
Rendsburg to Kiel. The Prussian advanced posts
were at Schestadt, on the Holstein territory. The
Danish head-quarters were at Schleswig, where the
King of DENMARK was also.
