FRANKFORT.

In the sitting of the German Parliament on the
4th, the debate on the question of the duchies com-
menced. It was decidedly warlike in its tone.

HEcxscitEß, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, re-
cited the articles of truce concluded between Prussia
and Denmark. He confessed that he felt himself in
an embarrassing situation to find that the resolutions
of the Central Power had been nullified, and that a
Dane, GRAF VON MOLTKE, was at the head of the
new Schleswig-Holstein Government ; nor was this
embarrassment diminished by the official letter of the
Prussian Plenipotentiary, Herr VON CAMPRAUSEN,
in which it was stated that the armistice had been
concluded between Denmark on one side and the
King of PRUSSIA on the other, in the name of :the
Germanic Confederation. Herr VON CAMPITAUSEN'S
special explanation was, that the fact of the Adminis-
trator having assumed the Central Power had not
been officially notified to the King of DENMARK, and
he doubted not that on a oloser view of circumstances,
the dissatisfaction incident on a first perusal of the
conditions of truce would cease.

DAHLMANN said he had, as early as yesterday
evening, prepared an interpellation to the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, in consequence of no official decla-
ration of the conditions of truce being forthcogling.
The interpellation was now superseded by M. HECK-
SCREFeS announcement. His great objections were
to the fact of their Provisional Government having
been duly acknowledged by Prussia, and yet being
wholly set aside in this instance, he was also little
satisfied with the position occupied by M. GRAF
VON MOLTER, nor with the agreement that the
armies of Schleswig and Holstein should be separated.
A few weeks ago the Assembly had resolved to main-
tain the honour of Germany in the Schleswig affair.
Did the Ministry mean to do so now ?—(Cheers from
all quarters.)
WALTZ moved that the fulfilment of the articles of
the truce be at once stopped by the Central Power.
Rejected.

A party from the Left moved that the whole of the
diplomatic correspondence bearing upon the subject
he laid before a committee immediately, and that this
committee so prepare its report that the Assembly
may discuss and decide upon the whole matter in an
afternoon sitting of that day.—Rejected.
BLUM, WIGARD, TAFEL, and others, moved that
the withdrawal of the troops be immediately counter-
manded, and that the Assembly deliberate to-morrow
as to whether the fulfilment of the other conditions
of peace be delayed or not.—Carried.
Herr VON RAPPARD moved, " The National As-
embly declares that the armistice concluded by
Prussia requires the approval of the Central Power;
that the National Assembly withholds its acqui-
escence in the conditions of the truce, and calls
upon the Central Power to continue the war with
energy, until the honour of Germany be fully vindi-
cated."—Referred for the speediest possible deli-
beration to a combination of the committee for a
Provisional Government and the internal committee.
BASSERMANN deprecated premature decisions. It
was a great European question. Prussia had acted
for itself, as well as for Germany. They had not
yet the diplomatic documents before them; and
intemperance on their part might involve them in a
war with the combined powers of England, France,
and Russia.

The Assembly adjourned very early (half-past
twelve), that the committees might immediately take
up the question.

The Prussians met in close conference after the

HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, SEPT. G.—The First Chamber of the

States General continue to publish the proceedings on
the discussion of the twelve projects of the modified
fundamental law. The principal objections raised to
these projects of law are nearly the same as those
which were expressed by one of the members of the
Second Chamber—the right of meeting and assem•
I above all, the mode of

Chamber.and

The question of religious worship was agitated in
the second section of both chambers, and the majority
declared that they saw no reason to induce its re-
jection.
In the third section the following questions were
put:—

"3. Whether the true interest of the country de-
manded a revision of the fundamental law?
" 2. If an extensive revision, such as the Government
had presented, was compatible with the spirit of the
actual fundamental law?"

Six members declared that the general tendency of
the project of law was unduly to restrict the privi-
leges of the Crown. However, as in the Elective
Chamber, so the majority of the members of the First
Chamber declared that they were ever ready on their
part to sacrifice personal opinion in order to co-
operate in the accomplishment of the important.work
of the revision of our political institutions.

" By the adoption of these projects of law," says
one of the members" of the first section, " we shall
cause general satisfaction ; whereas, the rejection
would compromise the public tranquillity, and expose
the Crown, the reigning dynasty, as well as the whole
country, to great trouble—Journal de la Haye
Sept. 6.

THE HAGUE, SEPT. s.—The First Chamber of the
States General held a general discussion to•day, but
did not come to the vote. The debates are to be con-
tinued to-morrow, at eleven o'clock.
Yesterday evening, at seven- o'-clock, the Ministers
again met for deliberation..

Portuguese improved. AuStrian at the -commence-
ment of the Bourse in derriand, and higher, but de-
clined a little towards the close ; but remained above
the rates at which they closed yesterday. Russian

Foreign Funds did not experience any material
variations.—Amsterdam Courant, Sept. 6.
