PRUSSIA. •
A letter from Berlin of the 26th, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" A note was yesterday despatched
to Vienna to announce to the Austrian cabinet that
the representative of Prussia bad received orders,
as already at ited, to lay the ques'ion of the Duchies
before the Germanic Diet, and to request the sup-
port of Austria in that proceeding. It was made
known at the same time to the Imperial cabinet,
that, in the event of the refusal of Austria, Pi ussia
would act alone. The Prussian cabinet has not
returned any answer to the last Danish note. It is
certain that the States of Lauenbourg are also about
to apply to the Germanic Confederation, the Danish
government nit haying paid any attention to their
applications."
The Prince of Prussia has addressed an order of
the day to the army, in which he expresses a hope
that he shall, on the recovery of the King, be en
bled to to report highly on the conduct of the troops
during his continuance in power.

We are authorized to state that.though the health of

vial improvement during the last week, t till there le no
cause for the s!ight,2st apprehension. Her Majesty has,
we regret to say, been suffering for some time past from
general debility, arising chiefly from lose of appetite, de-
pression of spirits, and mental anxiety, considerably
aggravated by the nature of the. intelligence which hail
lately reached her from India. Her Majesty still con-
tinues at Richmond.—Court Circular.
