GERMANY.

The Deutsche Zeitung states that the King of
Wartemberg arrived at Frankfort on the evening
of the 7th instant. Mr. Dctmold, the Hanoverian
agent at the Frankfurt Council, was likewise expected
on that day.
A dispatch, which reached Cologne on the Bth,
states that reactionary measures are every moment ex-
pected in Saxony. The Dresden Ministry has dis-
tributed, at the expense of the State, throughout all
the country, the memorial by which U. liassenpflug

tries to justify a lino of conduct which Germany and
Europe condemns as criminal.

Accounts have been received from Cassel to the Bth.
The city continues profoundly tranquil, and neither
the people nor their leaders will give the ELECTOR
the least excuse for letting loose the bloodhounds of
Austria and Bavaria. The Absolutists of Germany
are fairly puzzled by the passive resistance of the
Hessians, which has, it is said, driven old General
HAINAU mad. The officers of the Hessian army
have met and decided that as, on the one hand, they
would be guilty of a military crime were they to
disobey the orders of the ELECTOR, and, on the other,
they would be guilty of perjury it', in obeying those
orders they were to break the oath which they,equally
with the ELECTOR, had taken to observe the consti-
tution, it was their duty to at once resign their com-
missions and retire from the service, and they have re-
signed en masse. A large Prussian force is assembled at
Wetzlar, Paderborn, and along the frontier, prepared
to take possession of the military roads of Hesse
(through which Prussia has a right of passage under
the convention of 1815), should any Austrian or Ba-
varian troops attempt to enter the Electorate.
In the sitting of the 7th of the National Assembly
of Stuttgart, Prince ZEIL addressed the following
question to the Cabinet—"ls it true that the Go-
vernn,ent of Wurtemberg has ratified the treaty of
peace concluded between Prussia and Denmark ? and
if so, on what grounds has the Government thought
it its duty to ratify that treaty ?" M. DE LINDEN,
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, answered that he
did not exactly understand the second part of
the question, but that he would state in general
terms that the Government had ratified the treaty
in question under the reserve of all the rights
of the Germanic Confederation, giving moreover to
this reserve the greatest possible extension. He added
that the Government could not as yet present the
treaty to the Assembly. Prince ZEIL then declared
he would wait till the treaty was presented to re-
sume the subject. M. SEEGEZ complained that the
Duchies had been abandoned by Germany, and moved
that the Assembly do protest against snch dereliction,
and invite the Government to send to Holstein the
stipulated sums for the maintenance of the troops.
M. NATTER seconded the motion. M. SATTLER
opposed the latter part of the motion, on the ground
that the Lieutenancy did not inspire much con-
fidence. Nevertheless, M. SEEGEZ'S motion was
passed by 54 votes to 2. M. SUSSKIND then brought
forward his motion in favour of the people of Hesse-
Cassel. M. MACK recommended, by way of amend-
ment, that the :motion should not touch upon the
German question. M. SUSSKIND agreed to it, rind
added the following words to his motion, " The Go-
vernment of Wurtemberg is recommended not to
countenance the Governments of Germany which
might be disposed to prevent the Hessians from exer-
cising their rights." The Assembly, after some fur-
ther conversation on the subject, rejected the amend-
ment of M. MACK by 42 votes to 14, and approved
the second part of M. SUSSKIND'S motion by 44
votes to 12.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Hanzburgh Courant of the Bth has the follow.
ing from Rendsburg of the 7th :
" RENDSBURG, OCT. 7.

" Yesterday at noon the Danes made an attack upon
our position, but were driven back with such energy and
speed that they had not time to take away their dead
and wounded.

"Some accounts of our attack upon Friedrichstadt
hint at our intention of abandoning it altogether. It we
must refrain from it at present, yet can we never relin-
quish our intention, either in respect to Friedrichstadt
or any other enterprise. On the contrary, we hope soon
to show the enemy that our will is as unshaken as the
courage of our troops is indcmitable.
The attack alluded to above was a sally mad© by
the garrison of Friedrichstadt, and notwithstanding
the success claimed by the Schleswig-Holsteiners,
their army has retreated from before that town and
fallen back upon its former position at Rendsburg.
The German Gazette states from Vienna, 3d inst.—

" Austria has, it is said, completely succeeded at Co-
penhagen; the Cabinets of Paris, Loudon, and St.
Petersburgh have joined in her opinion. The King of
Denmark will grant an amnesty, and will establish the
political constitution of the Duchies in accordance with
the Germanic Diet, on the condition that hostilities shall
immediately cease. Tho declaration of the Diet of the
17th September, 1846, will form the basis of the arrange-
ment. We give this news without, however, guaranke-
ing its exactitude."
