THE NORTHERN STATES

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian Assembly again met at Brandenburg
on the 21Ith, but the Members not being in sufficient
numbers the Assembly again adjourned. It was
rumoured that on the 29th, the 25th anniversary of
the KING'S marriage, the proclamation of a new Con-

stitution would take place.
The Minister at War has addressed a circular to
all Generals in command, directing them to act with
rigour against all who shall be guilty of insubordina-

ion, revolt, or treason.
The following appears in the Cologiee Gazette

" BERLIN, Nov. 27.—At noon this day a detachmen
of some 300 men of the Emperor Francis Regiment
under the command of Major V. Blumenthal, proceeded
to the Hotel Mylius, wherein the local assembly of the
members of the Left is known to be held. The Major,
at the head of his officers, and a few men, proceeded
into the Assembly-room and summoned the assembled
Deputies, seventy in number, in the name of the law and
the superior power, to depart therefrom. The represen-
tatives were, in the end, literally dragged out of the
room. A search was then made for papers, and nume-
rous printed documents lying on the table were seined."
General VON WRANGEL has issued a proclamation,
wherein he states that, as the " Assembly" is now
re-opened in Brandenburg, the dissentient members
cannot be allowed any longer to continue their deli.
berations in Berlin. All hotel-keepers are warned
against allowing those Members to assemble in their
(the hotel-keepers') premises, under the penalty of
having their establishments totally closed during the
state of siege. Private houses in which the Deputies
may hire apartments are also subjected to the same
regulation. The plea that the parties assembling in
those premises were not known to the proprietors as
Deputies, will be of no avail.
The Berlin papers give the following report of the
proceedings at the sitting of the Assembly on the
27th, at Brandenburg
The members of the National Assembly met at a
quarter past ten. The Ministers, Ceunt BRANDEN-
BUEG, VON LADENBERG, VON MANTUFTEL, and VON
STROTHA, appeared at that time, and entered into very
friendly conversation with several of the Deputies.
The hall was filled with numerous spectators.
At half-past ten, when the Deputies had taken
their seats, the Ministerial President, VON BRANDEN-
nuRG, spoke as follows :—" By command of his Ma-
jesty the KING, I hereby declare the Assembly con-
voked for constitution of the administration, which
was prorogued on the 9th of this month, to be re-
opened, and propose that it be reconstituted. So soon
as that business shall be completed I pray the As-
sembly to inform me thereof, in order that the Royal
message may be forthwith brought in from his MA..
/TESTY."
The Ministers then left the Hall. The address of
the President was received in silence, but a cry was
immediately raised for the election of a senior Presi-
dent; the Burgrave of Brunnek made a long speech,
in which he spoke of 63 years' service, he then occu-
pied the President's chair, and nominated, as secre-
taries, Messrs. GASSLE and VON BORRIS. He then
opened the sitting by calling over the names of the
members.

This was concluded at twelve o'clock, when it
appeared that only 154 Deputies were present, being
by far too small a number for any important resolu-
tions to be available.
A letter was then read from Mr. HAUSEMANN to
M. KUIILWETTER, in which he stated that, in con-
sequence of severe indisposition, his physicians had
forbidden him to be present at the sitting that day,
but that he would attend at Brandenburg as soon as
his health was re-established.

M. DAHNE the rose, and requested leave to speak.
He made a long protest, in the name, of himself and
his party, against the supposition that, by their pre-
sence they recognised the right of the Crown to
transfer and prorogue the National Assembly. They
rested principally upon the resolutions of Frankfort,
which they conceived themselves bound to act upon
for fear of being charged with the consequences.
They also protested that the presence of the Deputies
at Brandenburg by no means went to prove that they
denied the resolutions taken at Berlin after the A th.
A lively discussion now took place. All these
opinions, independently of written declarations, being
prohibited to the Deputies in the tribune.
