HADERSLEVEN, Nov. 27.—The fell° ring address
to the National Parliament has been resolved :
" To the High National German Parliament."
" The Hambtergh Borsenhalle,`:of the 21st instant,
contains a report of the Committee for Domestic
Economy of the National Parliament on the proposal
of the Minister of Trade, in which the prohibitive
system, in regard to the German navigation, is de-
cidedly approved. It cannot indeed be denied that,
by adopting the system of the said Committee, very
great advantages would be derived by some of the
largest mercantile places, especially those in the
North Sea ; but it is equally true that this would
be effected at the expense of all the rest, espe-
cially those along the East Sea harbours, whose
interest would be most materially injured thereby.
The greatest possible freedom for navigation and
trade can alone be advantageous to the whole, and
only a system founded on this principle would be
able to equalise the various interests, and to do equal
justice to all.
"Guided by this conviction the Commercial Union
of the City of Hadersleven most respectfully makes
the following request
" That the High National Parliament, while re-
jecting the proposali made by the Committee for Do-
mestic Economy n regard to the German Naviga•
tion, will grant their assent to that system only
which shall include the greatest possible freedom of
navigation and trade.

(Signed) "The Commercial Union of Hadersleven.
"Hadersleven, Nov. 27, 1848."
A protest has been made to the Government by the
inhabitants of Hadersleven against the separation of a
portion of the duchy of Schleswig and Holstein, as
included in the negotiations for peace between
Germany and Denulark.—Hamburgh Borsenhalle,

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, Nov. 27._-Within the last few days guns
of considerable calibre have been placed on the inner
bastions which command the principal gates. Palli-
sades have also been erected in various places. Divi-
sions of troops are continually leaving the city for
Hungary, whither Prince Wi?wise EIGRATZ and Baron
JELLACLIICII will also proceed in the course of a few
days. Yesterday those Generals received a deputa-
tion from the resident merchants, who afterwards pro-
ceeded to the Governor, Field-Marshal WELDEN.
Our Ministers are expected to return from Krem-
sir to-morrow. It is said that they have prayed the
EMPEROR to grant an amnesty to all those who were
involved in the October excesses, of course excluding
the murderers of Count LATOUR.
The report that has been current here for some
days, that General RADRTIKT has had a fit of apo-
plexy, nay, that he had even died, has happily proved
incorrect.
Our last accounts from Transylvania are melan-
choly, nay, they are terrific. Murder, conflagrations,
plunder, and devastation prevail everywhere between
all. The unholy combat is no party combat, it is no
war, it is slaughter and extirpation. General Bum-
' NER is now approaching.—Hainburgh Bor3enhalle,
Nov. 30th
The Wiener Zeitung of the 26th says :—" The
Communal Council of the city, considering that his
Serene Highness Field-Marshal ALFRED Prince of
Windischgratz will probably leave for the army in
Hungary in the course of a few days, did in its sit-
ting of the 24th November unanimously resolve to
present the illustrious person with the following ad-
dress :--

" Your Serene Highness,—The Communal Council
of the city of Vienna, in the arduous task which since
the moment of its constitution it was compelled to adopt,
deeply moved by the tremendous events, and forcibly
agitated by the spectacle of the most virulent passions
and the complete subversion of legal order, was in this
painful position able thankfully to recognise the mild-
ness and humanity which your Highness never failed to
exercise.

. " Though called upon to restore by force of arms
that order which had been shaken to its foundation;
though compelled by the continuation of a manifestly
fruitless opposition, by the infringement of a sacred
agreement, to the adoption of extreme measures, your
Serene Highness nevertheless, with singular forbearance,
granted the request of She Communal Council, and the
good citizens represented by it, to give repeated respites,
for the purpose, if possible of bringing the passionately
excited multitude to a sense of reflection; with profound
insight and refined feeling you have known how to dis-
criminate between those who were led astray or terrified
and the authors of the evil.
" Your Highness has executed with humanity the
severe commands of a mild Monarch, and you have thus
entitled s ourself to the heartfelt gratitude of all right-
minded persons.
" • The new proof of considerate forbearance which has
been shown to the inhabitants of Vienna during their
extreme remissness in delivering up their weapons, in-
duces the Communal Council most respectfully to take
advantage of the occasion of your Highness's approach-
ing departure to tender you their most sincere thanks,
and to add their request that your Highness will west as-
sured that the Communal Council deems it its highest
and most important duty energetically to support the
maintenance of peace and order.
" The Communal Council of the City.
" Vienna, November 24."
This address was very graciously received by the
Field-Marshal, and he replied that it was indispen-
sably necessary that loyalty should be spread through-
out all classes.
The rumour that Prince WINDISCIIGRATZ has been
shot is without foundation.

PRUSSIA.
The Assembly met at Brandenburg on the 29th
and 30th, but on neither day were there a sufficient
number of Deputies present to make a House ; but
as there was some hope entertained that there would
be a fuller attendance on the following day, the motion
of M. SnioN, for summoning the absent Deputies,
was postponed.
Berlin remained tranquil on the 27th ult.
