V.e. searchers for arms to commit a breach of the law

The _National Assembly has not met since the
passing of the res r: fusing taxes. This mea-
! sure has becu a most severe check to the Ministry
and the KING. It is too much in accordance with
the f.-elings of every tax-payer not to be extensively
acted on ; indeed, the peasantry in many districts
have announced their intention of implicitly obeying
the behests of the National Assembly, so far as the
non-payment of taxes is concerned.
The soldiers are become fagged, disgusted, and
weary, and continue to exhibit ominous signs of dis-
afl'eetion to the cause of Royalty. A subaltern of
the 12th has been arrested for refusing to disperse a
crowd ; when ordered to do so, he turned round to
Ids men and told them it was treason to use their
weapons against the people.
The resolution of the Frankfort Parliament has
produced a most discouraging effect upon the mind of
th, KING. He had been led to imagine from the
repres:ntation of the Archduke JOHN, that the Par-
liament would have supported him. Ills MAJESTY
is now a xious, it is said, to procure the mediation
of the ARCHDUKE between himself and his subjects.
General WRANGEL can get no one to accept the
office of censor of the press, and consequently he is
obliged to act as censor himself.
As a proof of the democratic feeling which pre-
vails in Prussia, the following circumstance has been
related :—When the Major in command of the de-
tachment which was ordered to expel the National
Assembly from its place of meeting entered the hall,
a member, Major KUNTZE, wearing a Prussian order,
rose, advanced towards his fellow-soldier, tore off the
decoration from his own button-hole, and threw it
at the feet of the latter, saying, " There! Away
with all such baubles. I hereby tear asunder all link
between me and the army."
It is said that there is a disagreement among the
Ministry, BRANDENBURGH and MANTEUFFEL differ?
ieg altogether as to the nature of the measures to be
adopted. The RING, it is said, is anxious to send
tor GRABOW or BECKERATII. General WRANGEL has
mounted fourteen guns on the roof of the Palace.

FRANKFORT.
We yesterday stated that the Frankfort Parliament
had come to a resolution on the 16th, urging the
Imperial Ministry to adopt energetic measures to
bring the murderers of BLUM to justice. We now
give a full report of the interesting proceedings which
took place on that occasion, and also the notice of a
resolution on Prussian affairs.
GERMAN PARLIAMENT.—Nov. 16.
At twenty minutes past nine only seventy members
had arrived ; and no great excitement was visible in the
House. The galleries were filling fast.
The President opened the sitting at a quarter to ten,
a.m. The protocol of the last sitting was neither listened
to nor reclaimed against.
Kirclagessner thn announced the report of the Com-
mittee of Austrian affairs on Simon's motion relating
to Blum's execution. He thought it unnecessary to read
the report.—(Read, read.) He accordingly read the
report in full, though it was already printed and in the
hands of the members. The latter continually cried
"slower," from sheer anxiety to hear every word dis-
tinctly. In the meanwhile Simon of Triers, Vogh, and
other members of the extreme Left were seen in busy
conference.
The report, to give a brief digest, of it, says:—" The
sitting of the 14th November was opened amid feelings
of sorrow and indignation, which were occasioned in
every mind by the news of Blum's execution, as com-
municated in private letters. It was scarcely thought
possible that this could have occurred in a German me-
tropolis, in the face of the Imperial law of the 30th Sep-
tember." After citing iSimon's motion, which, as you
have been already informed, insisted' principally on
measures being taken by the Imperial Ministry "for
the discovery and punishment of the direct and in-
direct murderers of Robert Blum, of Leipsic, Deputy
to the Imperial Assembly," the repot t refers to several
private letters, as also to an article published in the
Vienna Gazette of the 10th of November, by which the
tact of Blum's execution is placed be) and a doubt, and
which states that Blum was "convicted, on his own con-
fession, of having made riotous speeches and of having
resisted the Imperial troops by force of arms." It then
says, "It is beyond all doubt that the position of Blum,
as Deputy to the Imperial Assembly in Frankfort, was
known in Vienna at the time of his apprehension, as
Vienna papers speak of him in this capacity, &c. But,
whether or no, the fact of his being a Member of the
National Assembly is certain, and that his arrest, trial,
and execution took place without any notice thereof
being made to the Imperial Assembly. This distinctly
proves the violation of tho law of the 30th Sep-
temter (see Art. 1), which law came into
force in Vienna at the very latest on the 20th
October ultimo, though by a special provision attached
to this law it in realty ought to have come into fora© on
the day of its publication in the Imperial Law Journal."
• . . The committee thinks there is, upon the
whole, full ground for the motion of Simon ; but it ob-
jects to certain words, authority for their use not being
clearly established. Finally, it moves :—" The Na-
tional Assembly, solemnly protesting before all Ger-
many against the arrest and execution of Robert Blum,
which acts were consummated in total disregard of the
Imperial law of the 30th of September ult., calls upon
the Imperial Ministry to adopt the most strenuous mea-
sures for calling these parties to account who either
directly or indirectly bear the guilt of the offence, and
for securing their punishment." The reporter then
stated that Franke, the only dissentient member of the
committee, had intended to have added a separate mo-
tion of his own, but upon second consideration had
thought it best not to do so. They had not not now to
determine whether Blum had been guilty or not, nor
whether his punishment was duly proportioned to the
offence ; but whether the law of the Imperial Assembly
(speaking with warmth) had been directly violated.
The Assembly rose in a body in confirmation of the
urgency of the committee's motion.
The President said two or three other motions on this
subject had been handed in. Before reading them, hi
must ask whether the Assembly would divide on the mo-
tion of the committee at once, without debate 7
(Agreed to unanimously.)
The motion of the committee was then "carried
unanimously, as far as the President could distinguish,"
including the suffrages of three Ministers, Schmerling,
Mohl, and Beckerath. We saw no others present.- Great
order prevailed.
Nauwerck moved," That the National Assembly call
upon the Imperial Ministry to command the revocation
on the part of Prussia of the orders for disarming the
Burgher Guard, as also of the state of siege in Berlin;
and further, that an Imperial commissary be expressly
dispatched to Berlin to enforce this resolution."--
Ureency negatived, and the motion referred to com-
mittee.

The ARCHDUKE REGENT held a review of the Im-
perial troops and Burgher Guards on the 16th. He
was received in solemn silence—" No one cried GOD
bless him."
