PRUSSIA.

Accounts from Berlin of the 7th state that a serious
enieute took place on that day between some work-
men employed in a cotton factory, who had struck
fur wages, and the National Guards. Tranquillity
was not restored until six of the workmen had been
killed, and several taken prisoners.
The Hamburgh Borsenhalle, of April 8, states that
the English Ambassador has succeeded in effecting a
mediation with the Berlin Cabinet on the Danish
question. It is said that a compact has for some

time been concluded between Great Britain and
Prussia on this subject.
The Prussian Gazette publishes, under the h ad of
Frankfort, the following resolution of the German
Diet in regard to the Schelswig-Holstein affair :
" The Diet declares in the first place, in conformity
with Article 31 of the Federal Treaty, that there exists
danger of an aggression of the federal territory of
Holstein, and expresses its full nratitude for the measures
which have been adopted in a federal and national point
of view by Prussia and the States, whose contingents
form the 10th corps of the Federal army.
" The Diet, for the purpose of having one and the
same direction in the ultimate military steps which it
may be necessary to take, begs that Prussia will keep
herself in relatien on this subject with the states of the
10th corps of the army. The Federal Assembly is
ready on its side, in order to prevent any effusion of
blood, and in view to effect an amicable arrangement, to
undertake negotiations for mediating in the name of th,,
Confederation, taking as the basis of such mediation the
inviolability of the rights of Holstein, especially on the
point concerning its indissoluble union with Schleswig.
It is perfectly understood that hostilities will immedi
ately cease, and the former statu quo will be re-esta-
blished."

The Prussian Gazette of the Bth April publishes

,he petition to the KING of the Provincial States of

the Province of Prussia, requesting that their pro-
vince may form part of the German Confederation,
and the official part of the journal gives the KING'S
consent.

The result of the elections is, on the whole, satis-
factory. ARNDT, the celebrated and popular poet,
has been returned for the Rhenish provinces ; the
other Deputies are M. RAVEAUX, common councillor
of Cologne, famed by the proceedings instituted
against him by the ex-Minister BODELSCHWINGII; M.
VENEDT, who was under the ban of exile for poli-
tical causes ; and other men who all ez.joy the con-
fidence of the people.
Prussia has appointed M. Scuoast, one of the
leaders of the Opposition, and M. AUERSWALD, the
brother of the Minister. Silesia has returned M.
SIMON, of Breslau, who was continually prosecuted
by the late Government. M. DE HUMBOLDT is the
Deputy for Brandenbourg. The elections in the other
provinces are not less favourable to the Liberal
cause.

The Duchy of Posen has not nominated any Depu-

ties ; and as regards the district of Netze, many
Prussian Deputies have demanded that it shall not
he separated from Germany.

The Committee of Fifty are actively pursuing their

Alarming riots continue to prevail in South Ger-
many.

and those of the Duchy on the day preceding, but
which had not led to any decisive result.
