Accounts had been received from Cassel to the 9th.

grade of officers has been rejected.
Iu the last sitting of the C 'liege of Princes at Ber-
lin, M. DE RADOWITZ formally announced that the
Prussian Government would not suffer the Federal

The Deutsche Zeitung has advices from Cassel ( f
the 10th inst. The officers who have tendered their
reAgnation have as yet received no direct answer,
whether or not they are allowed provisionally to re-
main with their troops, under the conditions which
were mentioned in their petition. General HAYNAU

ELECTOR :

" By God's grace, we, Frederic William, Elector, &e.,
have been pleased, at the iustanca of our Council ot Mi-
❑isters, to confer on our Commander-in-Chief the Lieu-
tenant-General von Haynau, full and unlimited powers,
acting in our name, to grant leave of resignation to the
officers of all grades, and as for those who, without resign
ing, should refuse to obey his orders, we command him to
remove the same from their posts, and to consign them to
immediate punishment. We likewise instruct our said
Commander-in-Chief to fill the vacancies which may be
occasioned by the resignation and removal of officers,
and to submit his arrangements in that respect to our
confirmation and approval.

The Wirtemburg Chambers have adjourned to
the 14th November.
The Reischs Zeitung gives a terrific picture of the
catastrophe at the place of Pilgrimage, called Herr-
gutt, on the Weis, near Purgstal. At one of the
public-houses the pilgrims (of whom 3,000 were
assembled at Herrgott) spent the night in eating and
drinking. While baking the fish the oven took fire.
Behind the inn were a number of stables and barns,
in which hundreds of the pilgrims were reposing,
and almost all perished in the flames, which
rose so rapidly through the thatched
roofs, and were fanned by a strong wind,
th it there was no possibility of raising ladders to at.
tempt to rescue a single individual. Many threw
themselves from the lofts, and with broken limbs,
half consumed with fire, reached hither and thither
with the most piteous cries. Not a single engine was
in the place. Scarcely half cf the pilgrims were saved,
and those who have survived have for the most
part been much injured. The bodies of the dead
were found burned to a cinder. It was a night never
to ba forgotten.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
Toe Minister-at-War at Copenhagen published on
the 10th the following report from Friedtaichstadt—
" The news from Fri,derichstadi, which arrived In re
last Light ate equally encouraging and satisfe:ctory, us
ing that that town may be maintainel The storm-
ing attacks of the enemy, four times repeated, were re-
pulsed with the coolest detetmination, notwithstanding
he bad planted his flag on the breastwork,and the combat
there was maintained man to man. Our works and guns
have been little or not at all damaged in spite of the heavy
cannonade which the enemy kept up from all his batte-
rieS; but, on the contrary, the town, with the exception
of the north-western part, is in ruins, partly from fire
and partly from the great number of heavy shot which
have destroyed the walls of the houses. The spirit of
the troops in Friederichstadt is excellent, whilst no ad-
vantage has been gained by the enemy; but, on the con-
