GERMAN Y.
The Prussian Government, on the 14th, received a
dispatch announcing that the Elector of HESSE would
start for Cologne, from Prussian Minden, at a quarter
after twelve that night. The Prussian Reforme says
that in consequence of the Hessian Ministry having
upon Bockenheim (close to Frankfort, in the
Electoral territory) as the present seat of Govern-
ment,fixed
orders have been dispatched for the Prussian
in garrison at that place, to remove without
either. into Nassau or Hesse Darmstadt.

hich is cantoned in and around Frankfort, for the
purpose of maintaining order. Its removal to a con-
tiguous territory evidently results from an intention
not to interfere for the time being in any events that
may result from the presence of the Government in
that remote quarter of the Electorate.
The most perfect tranquillity reigns in Cassel.
General BAUER has resigned his office. The decrees
against the press have been withdrawn, and the Civic
Guard are in possession of the military posts.
The Cabinet of Vienna has rejected the propo-
sitions of Prussia for a free conference on German
affairs.

The Vienna correspondent of the Cologne Gazette
states that the population of Vienna were so de-
lighted when they heard of the pelting which HAY-
NAU got from Barclay and Perkins's draymen, that
" Three cheers for Old England" were proposed and
given in many cif the coffee-houses. The Croat
officerF, however, still smarting under the recollection
of the disgraceful defeats which they suffered from
the Magyars, and of the contemptuous scorn with
which they were treated by their Russian allies, are
outrageous. The correspondent of the Cologne Ga-
zette says—

Th.; rtore of Auglopht bia which they have been
laying in f r many ears is now taken out and aired in
an offensive, and, ind, ed, in an absurd mannsr. In the
'Ca!,i Daum,' which is. haunted by cur officers. there was,
amidst the portraits of other royal personages, a por tail
of Queen Victoria. I say i was there, for it was yester-
day assaultel by a Croatian officer, who, drawing hi,
sabre with a volley of imprecations, smashed it into
atoms, while his comrades cheered and cried 'Bravo.'
They rattled their swords in a most alarming manlier.

and whom they long to shiver' 114 the officer did the

offered to two harmless English tourists (whose dress be-
spoke them as such) by several of the cavalry officers,
among whom was a near relative of Prince Schwarzen.

ia precisely the conduct we should expect from
the floggers of Madame DE MADERSPACH, and the
executioners of BATIIYANI, the brave soldiers who
scampered oft from Raab in double quick time when
they heard of the approach of the Magyars. The
gentlemen who show a clean pair of heels to the
enemy on the battlefield, are the men of all others to
be brave against a picture.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
General WILLISEN admits that his loss during his
late unsuccessful attack on the Danish lines was 250
men.

The Prussian Staats Anzeiger says, the declaration
of the Danish Plenipotentiaries at Frankfort, that it
was wished neither to separate the Duchies nor to in
corporate them with Denmark, is considered the first
step towards the pacificarion of the Duchies.
1. egotiations are at this moment taking place on

another highly important subject. The Austrian Go-
vernment Envoy is of the same mind—that the Icing of
DENMARK ought to address a proclamation to thepeople
and to the Schleswig-holstein army, caning upon
them for the last time to lay down their arms, pro-
mising them a general amnesty, and engaging to re-
organise the I.ichhiswig army.
That in case this proclamation should prove in-
effectual, the Danish army should cross the Eider,
and avail it..elf of the assistance of the Russian
and British fleets. It is also stated that the ple-
nipotentiaries at Paris have orders to ratify peace.
It seems quite certain that the King of DEN-
MARK - will abdicate as soon as. the question of the
succession shall he settled. It is proposed that if
