BERLIN, MAY 14—HALF-PAST NINE AT NIGHT.
—A report has been in circulation this afternoon that
M. CAMPIIAUSEN has left the Ministry, and that
M. thusEmANN is to succeed him. The report,
however, wants confirmation.
The Preussischer Stoats Anzeiger, of the 16th inst.,
publishes the following decree :
" The undersigned President of the Ministry of State
has already refuted yesterday, in reply to the com-
mander of the Burgherwher, the erroneous reports in
circulation respecting the time of recal of his Royal
Highness the Prince of Prussia.
" Notwithstanding this, a deputation from a popular
assembly demanded a new explanation yesterday after-

noon.
"For the satisfaction of all we declare :
" The return of his Royal Highness cannot and wili
not take place before a fortnight has elapsed, therefore,
after the 22d of May, which day the wpening of the re-
presentative Assembly is irrevocably fixed.
" The Prince will previously—as was always intended
—publicly proclaim his adhesion to the new constitu-
tional measures.
" Tne deputation, at the same time, has expressed a
want of confidence in the Cabinet.

" Although we regret this circumstance, we cannot
leave our post so close upon the opening of the new As-
sembly.
" We owe this much to the people and to the ad-
dresses we have received from town and country. We
owe it to the Representative Assembly itself, to which
we must shortly render account of our official acts.
"After this public declaration, we publicly' expect that
we shall not be further interrupted by renewed demon
strations in our preparatory labours for the opening oh
the Assembly.

All was quiet at Berlin when the last accounts left
the city.

Up to, the evening of the 15th no outbreak had
taken place at Berlin, but the excitement that pre-
vailed was intense. The orators at the Zelten had
become more violent in their language ; one of them
demanded that the present Ministry should be re-
placed by a " Government of the people," a propo-
sition which was loudly cheered. Strong patrols
paraded the streets.

FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE.

On the night of the 14th the quiet of the town was
disturbed by a mob assembled under pretence of
giving a charivari to the Austrian Ambassador. As
the mob refused to disperse, the drum was beaten
for the National Guards to turn out. In less than
twenty minutes there could be no less than 2,000
men assembled, and all under arms. The mob, how-
ever, still maintained their position. A charge was
made upon them, and in an instant they were dis-
persed, leaving 20 prisoners in the hands of the
guards. Of these eight were found to have received
bayonet wounds. The remaining 12 were lodged in
the guard-house, where they await examination by
the authorities. All the prisoners are mechanics—
shoemakers, tailors, &c., and but four of them natives
of Frankfort.

As to the state of mercantile affairs, it still
continues to be most lamentable. Railway shares
are declared to be absolutely unsaleable, and
no money to be raised on any species of se-
curity without the payment of enormous interest.

BAVARIA.

The Minister Tsticourt, sent by King OTIIO from
Greece with a letter of congratulation, had an inter-

STRATFORD CANNING had also an interview with the
KING on the same day.

P 0 SEN.

We have received letters from Posen to the 13th

of May.

The intelligence of the capture of MIERO-•
SLAWSLI is confirmed, but it is stated that he was set
at liberty yesterday afternoon, and immediately
quitted Posen. His liberation is said to hare been a
sine qua non of the capitulation. KRANTHOTER,
however, is said to have been brought before a court-
martial, and to have been shot.
We have no authentic or more certain information
from the provinces, but it appears that .the troops
are to be withdrawn. It was yesterday stated that
Russia had protested against every partition of the
Grand Duchy as a breach of the treaty of 1815.
This has greatly damped the joy which prevailed at
the incorporation of Posen in the Germanic Con-
federation.

In the House of Lords' proceedings before the
Committee for Privileges, on the Saye and Sele Peerage
Claim, on Tuesday, the 16th of May, 1848, the Earl of
Shaftesbury in the chair, it was resolved that the Rev.
Frederick Twisleton had made out his claim to be Baron
of so le and Sele.

AUSTRIA.

It is said that Sir STRA.TFORD CANNING had en-
tered into negotiations with the late Austrian Cabinet,
in order to bring about peace between that power and
Italy. The resignation of Count FIQUELMONT put an
immediate stop, however, to all negotiations.
There have been some slight riots at Trieste, but
everything had been quiet at last dates.
VIENNA, MAT 12.—The Minister of War has
published the following communication from Field-
Marshal RADETSKY, dated the 6th inst.:—
" I have to inform you that I was attacked this morn-
ing a lit tle before 9 o'clock in my position on the Rideau,
before Verona, and especially on the left wing at St.
Lucia, while, at the same time, the enemy opened the
engagement with a heavy cannonade in the direction of
St. Massimo, Crocebianca, and Chievo, and made a feint
of attacking them. They directed all their force against
St. Lucia, which was defended only by the weak brigade
Strasoldo. The conflict lasted altogether fully eight
hours. The brigade fought with the courage of lions.
Never have I heard so well sustained a fire as that which
the enemy opened at this point. Only one short pause
intervened during the engagement, in which time the
enemy attacked St. Massimo, and made continual demon-
strations against my centre and right wing, consisting of
the brigades Gyulai, Lichtenstein, and Taxis, but was
here forced to retire.
" At last the brigade Strasoldo was obliged to evacuate
St. Lucia, alter a renewed assault from the enemy. It
retired, however, only to a short distance, and I sent
some reserve troops to its assistance.
" In the mean time a portion of the brigade Clam
also ha,,tened to its support, and steps were immediately
taken to assault and reconquer St. Lucia. The brigade
Clam advanced from Tombs with two battalions against
the right flank of the enemy, while the battalion
d'Anthon of the Italian Grenadiers and a battalion
Geppart attacked St. Lucia in the front, and the brigade
Strasoldo assailed the right flank.
" The enemy offered a most determined resistance..
The troops forced th, it way within a short distance of
the place, and even the enemy, but could only advance
slowly.
We'iler Inoad a wnsentt
not, however, wait for a renewal of the attack, and
battalionothe tEo.wlln. fsoirgrathnendg.renTandeierenbeamttyaldin
finally evacuated St. Lucia, having also retired on te
whole line.

"His retreat from St. Lucia had rather the appearance
of a flight, as many military accoutrements, drums,
knapsacks, icc., were found there.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

Lucrezia Borgia was performed last night for the first
time this season. It is amongst the most successful
operas in the repertoire of this theatre, and Madame
Grisi's vengeful Italian lady, Lucrezia, is universally ad-
mitted to be one of her finest delineations. Not only is
her peculiar style of beauty and matured form admi-
rably adapted to the part, but the music is equally fitted
for her vocal means. There is no one element wanting
to complete the dramatic or vocal illusion. To dilate at
the present day on its abounding excellencies is un-
necessary—we have only to say that we have seldom
seen her to greater advantage than last night. Mario
was the Gennaro; Alboni, Orsini; and Tamburini, Al.fonso. Mario was in charming voice, and Alboni was
honoured with a triple encore in the "Brindisi." The
trio " Guai se ti fugge no motto" was redemanded. The
principal performers were called at the end of each act
and at the conclusion of the opera.. Madame Viardot
Garcia gave the last scene of Amino. from Sonnambula,
and was encored with vast enthusiasm i❑ the Non
giunge" and twice recalled.

A new tariff, the publication of which is only delayed
by the present circumstances of Europe. Some of
the points of this new system of customs' duties are
extremely favourable, and many articles now entirely
prohibited will be allowed to be introduced on the
payment of high duties, whilst the existing high
duties will be reduced.

The evidence and arguments upon the application of
the petitioners for leave to amend the recognizances,
were resumed, and ultimately ,the Committee acceded
to the application.

The iicognisances having been accordingly amended,
Mr. B. ANDREWS proceeded to open the case of the
petitioners, who sought to void the election, on the
ground that it was carried by gross bribery and corrup-
tion. The bribery. consisted of sums paid to various
voters for the services which were due from a former
election; while previous voters who had no claims of that
nature were presented with sums varying from 10s.
to 285., or received a gift of some necessary article
of dress. The parties who committed the bribery
would be proved beyond all doubt to have been
the agents of the two sitting Members, and when the
Committee had heard the evidence, he was sure they
would have, no difficulty in granting the prayer of the
petitioners.
After the examination of one or two witnesses, the
Committee adjourned till to-morrow.

BILL.

Sir R. H. INGLIS wished to know on what day it
was the intention of the Noble Lord (Lord J. Rus-
sell) to proceed further with the Diplomatic Rela-
tions with Rome Bill, as it was still suffered to re-
main on the order• book of the House.
Lord J. RUSSELL said the Government were
desirous to proceed with two Bills of considerable
public importance, which stood on the paper, before
the Bill in question, and that until those Bills were
in a fair way of being disposed of, he could not
name the day on which he could take the Bill to
which the Hon. Baronet had adverted.
PUBLIC HEALTH BILL.

On the motion that the Speaker should leave
the chair,
Mr. SPOONER rose and said
was done hewished to make
nyd some observations with respect towhat
the Noble Lord (Lord Morpeth) on Monday last.
with a view to enable the parties interested
mt ohviisen Atd y
the
matter to express their opinions, he should
the House resolve itself into a Committee
fortnight. After a great deal of negotiation the
Noble Lord agreed to introduce into the Bill certain
clauses, in accordance with the wishes of certain
deputations who had waited upon the Noble
Lord from various parts of the country, and
who left him on a positive pledge from the
Noble Lord that he would introduce clauses
to that effect in the Bill. The parties had evi-
dence that the clauses were printed at the request
of the Noble Lord,; yet at the last moment, with-
out making any communication to Hon. Members
who had interested themselves in the matter, the Noble
Lord caused six clauses to be struck out of the Bill
without the House hardly knowing what was going
on at the time. The parties interested had a right to
complain, as many of them had a large quantity of
capital Invested in waterworks, and as great
injustice bad been done to them they ought
to be allowed time to consider the altered posi-
tion in which they would be placed by the Bill.
However
. wever important the carrying out of this Bill
was,
was still more important that such an occurrence
as that on which he s animadverting should not
occur again. He, therefore, called upon lion. Mem-
bers' to in justice
all the parties, to maintain that for
the future no such sweeping alterations in a Bill
should be made without the due deliberation
and consenttheHouse. The Bill

FRANKFORT.

The German Parliament met OR Monday and dis-
cussed the motion of RAYEALTX, of Cologne. The
purport of that motion, it will be recollected, was to
enable persons elected to the German and also to the
Prussian constituent assemblies to sit in both. Its
practical aim was to enforce the adoption of the re-
commendation of the Committee of fifty that the
Diets of all the German states should adjourn during
the session of the National Assembly. Various
amendments were moved, all of which, with the
original motion, were referred to a Committee which
it was resolved to nominate at the afternoon sitting.
The President, in the name of the Assembly, ex-
pressed a wish that the Committee should report as
soon as possible. This reference to a Committee is
regarded as a victory by the Conservative party.

SUPPLY-SPAIN.

On the question that the House should resolve itself
into a Cotronittpe of Supply,
Mr. BANKES said that he had a notice on the paper
to-night with respect to Spain. It was understood yes-
terday that he should not bring it forward to day; but
he was in hopes that the Noble Lord at the head of
the Foreign Department would have been in his
place to have stated when he would lay the pa-
pers on the table of the House, and he was also
in hopes that the Noble Lord at the head of the
Government would also have been in his place to have
stated whether or not he would give him an early
day to bring the subject forward, as, however,
neither of these Noble Lords were present, he
had no alternative left but to pospone his motion
till the next supply night, which he believed was
this day se'nnight. He should then bring it on unless
the Noble Lord at the head of the Government would

give him a day to do so, not later than Monday se'n-
night. If he did not, he should certainly being it for-
ward this day se'nnight.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that as soon as the debate on the navigation laws reso-
lutions was concluded, and the Bill brought in, his

_
Noble Friend at the head of the Government would
proceed with the Committee of supply, in order to
affoad the lion. Gentleman an opportunity to bring in
his motion.
