A letter from Berlin of the 10th says It
is known that in 1850 Prussia on the one
hand, and the Germanic Confederation on the
other, sent troops into Electoral Hesse, on ac-
count of the dissensions which arose between
the Chambers and the Government of that coun-
try with respect to the constitution. Hitherto
the Germanic Confederation has not consented
to pay the Hessian government an indemnity for
the expenses to which it was subjected by the
occupation, though one has been demanded
several times. Prussia, on the contrary, has
consented to pay an indemnity, and has sent a
functionary connected with the department of
Finance to Fulda to ascertain the amount of it."
The Prussian Chamber of Deputies, in its sitting
of the 10th, was occupied in hearing reports' c,
on Pe')
titions. One was from Dr. Trusen, praying that a
complete reform be introduced in the matter of
burials, and recommending especially the public
exposure and burning of bodies, The petition was
rejected,
