PRUSSIA.

The Allgemeine Preursische Zeitung, of the 27th
ult., publishes a royal decree, according to which the
national reorganization of the Grand Duchy GI
Posen is to begin at once, now that the condition
under which it was promised—namely, the peace and
order of the provinces—is, in its most essential points,
accomplished. Part of the former Netz district, and
of the district of Snowraclaw, and the districts Birn-
baum, Meseritz, Bombst, Frandstadt, Samter, Buck,
the western parts of the districts of Obernik and
Posen, with the city and fortress of Posen, the
southern parts of the districts of Kroben, Kro-
toscbin, and the city of Kemden, are to be ex-
cluded from the reorganization. These parts are to
be incorporated with the Germanic Confederation.

but the other parts of the Grand Duchy of '''sen
will have a constitution of their own. The language
of instruction and of the civil and law courts is to be
Polish. All officers, judicial, military, or adminis-
trative, must be natives of the province. The " Lan-
driithe " shall in future be elected by the inhabitants
of the district, and the arms of the Grand Duchy will
Poles
be quartered with the arms of Prussia. The
who live in the German parts and the German resi-
dents are, lastly, called upon to divest their minds of
all apprehensions for their religion, their property, or
the safety of their persons. The order is dated the
26th of April, and signed by all the Ministers.
The Chief President of the province has decreed
the election of the delegates of the German districts
for the Frankfort Assembly.
The Prussian journals are filled with songs of :10Y
on the expulsion of the Danes from the capital of
Schleswig. The loss on both sides has been great.

a letter from Berlin of the 26th of April, in the Col
Gazette, has been dearly paid for. The 20th regiment

have as yet been published of our killed and wounded.
Stettin, our young and flourishing port, has been •
the
first to suffer from the Danish cruisers. Thirty-ono
ships, most of them with valuable cargoes (Bordeaux
wines, cotton, &c.) have been captured by the Da!les:
whose men-of-war are again cruizing before Sipe,

BAEN.
According to accounts froD m Carlsruhe, of the 27thr,
the republican movement in the Grand Duchy °I
Baden is nearly at an end. HECKER was still at the
head of a small band, collected by him on his leaving
Basle, to which place he had fled for refuge, by

being resolved to give no encouragement to the

DENMARK AND THE DULI'"- ijok,
A letter from Rendsburg in the Schlaseir ,to
steinsche Zeitung gives an extract from a letter bo
the Provisional Government, dated Flensburg, t t
24th, ten o'clock A.M., from which it appears tbs
that town was evacuated by the Danes on the pr
ceding night. The Danish troops bad a short tiSll-
previously met with the advanced guard of the Ger
man army, and
,had lost between 300 and 400 yep'
whom the Prussians captured. They left Flensburg
in consequence, without waiting for the town to b.
attacked.
A private letter from Rendsburg, of the Ohl;
states, that the Danes had concentrated the lA%
of their forces in and round Flensburg, which °l'd
