PRUSSIA.

The prosecution of the Preussische Ahrhucker,
published at Berlin, for an article in -a, recent num-
ber of the work, on the Regency in Prussia, has
terminated in the acquittal of the editor, Dr.
Haym. The trial took place on the 15th inst. Dr.
Haym defended himself, and successfully; in a
long and able speech he convinced the judges that
the article was not intended, nor calculated, to
excite scandal, but merely as a searching exaraina-
tion of certain facts.

The young Princess Royal of the Two Sicilies
left the palace at Munich on the 13th, after a most
affecting parting from Duke Maximilian, her
father. Her august mother and the Dukes Theodore
and Maximilian, her brothers, accompanied the
Princess to Augsburg, and her other brother, the
Duke Louis, was to go with her to Trieste. The
royal pity slept at Augsburg, and the next morn-
ing the Duchess and her party returned to Munich,
the others proceeding to Leipsic, where they
made only a shprt stay, proceeding on their journey
to Prague. On the occasion of the marriage, the
Duke Maximilian, the bride's father, presented
Count de Ludolf, Minister of the King of Naples
at the Court of Munich, with a gold casket of great
value, the cover bearing the Duke's miniature set
round with diamonds.

A letter from Munich, of the 15th, in the Nurem-
berg Correspondent, describes a manifestation of the
popular sentiments which occurred at a theatre of
that capital on the previous night. It says—" The
piece performed was ' The Will of the Great Elector
of Putlitz,' At a passage where the Elector Frede-
rick 111. of Brandenburg haughtily rejects the pro-
posals of the French and Polish envoys, and where it
is said that Prussia is the sword of Germany aid
Austria its shield, a unanimous shout of enthusiasm
burst forth from the spectators, and. it was with
great difficulty that sufficient silence could be re-
stored to permit the continuation of the play."

The Opinione of Turin, in a leading article, com-
plains that, although all the intelligent classes of
Piedmont are in favour of a war, the clergy, as
usual, are against their Government on that gnu:-
tion, because they foresee that a war, instead of
causing the suppression of the constitutional sys-
tem, according to their wishes, -would lead to its
consolidation. It further remarks that the two
articles on the question of the Danubian Principa-
lities published not long ago in the Piedmontese
Gazette, coupled as they are with military prepara-

tions, the political state of the Lombardo-Venetian
provinces, and the existing good understand-
ing between Piedmont and France, constitute more
than a mere diplomatic manifesto : " they are a new
declaration of the hostility existing between the
two states."

A letter from Milan of the 14th says ;-4, The
affair at Padua has been greatly exaggerated. The
facts are simply these. The police having with a
view to pre vent a demonst ration, caused the body to
be privately removed from the church to the cemetery,
the students repaired to the grave, where after a
funeral speech, loud cheers were given in honour of
the professor ; a garland displaying the three Italian
colours was, after having been laid on the grave by
way of consecration, paraded about the streets. The
procession was met by a party of mounted police,
who, after vainly:summoning the rioters to disperses
fired a few shots in the air to intimidate them, and
arrested about 15 of the ringleaders. The Univer-
sity has since been closed to prevent any further
breach of the peace."

A letter from Belgrade of the 13th states that
the Skuptschina, in the sitting of that day, had,
with the consent of the Senate and the Provisional
Government, drawn up a petition to the Porte,
praying it, in addition to confirming the election
of Prince Milosch, to make the princely dignity
hereditary in his family. The letter adds .that A
deputation was about to wait on Osman Pacha to
ask him to support the petition.
