FRANKFORT.

A monster meeting was held on the Ira, at
which resolutions denouncing as traitors the members
of the majority of the German Parliament who had
voted in favour of ratifying the Danish armistice
were agreed to, and the members themselves were
called upon to resign their seats. The language used
by the speakers was of the most inflammatory cha-
racter, and those present were to re-assemble the next
morning. On the 18th they again met and pro-
ceeded to acts of open insurrection. Troops were
called in, and after a severe conflict, they succeeded
in dispersing the insurgents.

PRUSSIA.

The Cologne Gazette contains the following:—
" BERLIN, SEPT. 15 —lt appears that the Earl of
Westmoreland, immediately after the arrival of the in-
telligence from Frankfort of the first decision of the
Diet relative to the armistice, sent a note to the Minister
of Foreign Affairs, stating that he believed that he was
acting according to the with of his Cabinet in declaring
that the Queen of Great Britain, in her quality as gua-
rantee for the armistice of Malmo, would adopt every
requisite measure for the maintenance of that armistice,
even if It should involve an active defence of the rights
guaranteed to Denmark by the Contention, and that he
would send a definitive note to this effect as soon as he
was informed of the resolutions of Lord Palmerston.
It was probably this declaration which fortified Prussia
in the resolutions which she announced at Frankfort. It
is affirmed that our Cabinet has declared positively to
the Central Power that without deviating in the least
from its obligations as a German Government, it would,
nevertheless,. eventually regard the armistice of Malmo
as a distinct treaty with Denmark, and maintain it at
every cost."
" BERLIN, SEPT. 16.—A courier has arrived here by a
special train from Hamburgh, bringing the intelligence
that a Danish frigate has appeared at the mouth of the
Elbe, and that three other ships of the line were ex-
pected there. This intelligence occasioned the greater
sensation, as we have not yet received the definitive rati-
fication of the armistice from Frankfort, and the more
so as we bare not at this moment a responsible Ministry
at the helm. It was, however, considered that this mea-
sure, adopted by the Danish Government, was directed
solely against the disturbances which had taken place in
the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein, and that no decisive
measures could be adopted till we should receive more
definite information. Nine days have now elapsed since
the fall of the Ministry, and up to this moment we know
nothing certain respecting their successors."
O❑ the 17th, on the occasion of the return of one
of the regiments from Schleswig-Holstein, there was
a grand loyal demonstration at Potsdam, at which
the KING and Royal Family were present, and were
received enthusiastically.
The noncommissioned officers and privates of the
'2d Guard Regiment, with the consent of their
colonel, have published a notice declaring that it is a
gross calumny on the part of those who asserted that
men of that regiment signed, or were even dis-
honoured by being asked to sign, an address to Stein
or the Chamber; and that it is utterly false that the
regiment was confined to barracks, or broke their
arrest on the night of the riot.
The number of cholera canes has considerably les-
sened in Berlin.
