Count BEE STOUT had not 'arrived at Berlin on
the Dth, but dispatches had been received from him.
It is said that in two days Prussia will have 480,000
men under arms.

By a royal order published on the evening of the
9th, all subjects of Prussia belonging to the army,
landwehr, or reserve, are recalled from any foreign
state, whether they have leave of absence or not.
The order will be a fatal blow to the Holstein army,
as it will deprive it of its best officers and 3,000 or
4,000 men.
The funeral of Count BRANDEDO3URG had taken place
with military honours.
The greatest enthusiasm prevails at Berlin in con-
sequence of the energetic position assumed by the
Government. Addresses are being prepared assuring
the KING of the satisfaction of the people, and of their
determination to sacrifice their lives and property to
maintain the honour of their country.
The Kolner Zeitung does not share in this enthu-
siasm, and severely comments on the folly of the Go-
vernment in not endeavouring to engage the co-opera-
tion or friendship of England, France, or Sardinia.
" No state," says the Kolner Zeitung, "has any in-
terest to come to the assistance of Prussia, unless the
annihilation of that state be the first step towards the
establishment of despotism throughout Europe." And
addressing the Prussian Minister that paper adds—
"lt is only in the name of liberty, which you
scoff at, that you can find your allies against
despotism. But the name of liberty would, indeed,
sound strangely from your lips. Did you not
from the first offer to co-operate for the suppression of
right in Electoral Hesse ? Did you not express your
apprehensions lest the princely authority of that
crowned caricature might be violated ? Did you not
march your troops to the very frontier, threatening, at
the first movement of impatience or resistance, to bear
down upon that poor and martyrized people ? Those
are very wrong who believe that Prussia—that the
present official Prussia, can ever reckon on the alliance
of the national movements of any country. Prussia has
nobody to rely on, because no one citn rely on Prussia.
The long and the short of it is, that you have not a
single ally, and that the 'peculiarity of your character
is not likely to make !friends. We trust, indeed, that
England will distinguish between the people and the
Government."

Intelligence from Fulda states that General GROE-
BEN, in a letter to the Prince of TOUR and TAXIS, bas
accepted the state of war. The Prussians have taken
up strong positions near the town, and have protected
them by the inundation of the valley. Their ad-
vanced posts are about a league from Fulda towards
Narhof. The advanced posts of the federal troops are
distant about a quarter of a league, at Loeschenrod.
The Cologne Gazette publishes the following in a
third edition :
" Letters from Fulda announce that the first shots
have been fired. A Bavarian detachment of cavalry
having approached too near the Prussian lines, the com-
manding officer twice warned them to retire; the Bava-
rians still advanced, when the Prussians fired. Two or
three of the Bavarians fell, the rest retired."
The above account is then contradicted.

Under the date of Frankfort, the 9th inst, the
Oben Post Amts Zeitung says :—" The Prussian
troops that have entered the Electorate have com-
menced hostilities against the Federal troops. On the
Bth, General Prince THUEN and Taxis pushed his
advanced guard forwards on the Fulda road. Ills
object was simply to reconnoitre, and to make a
change of quarters. To avoid giving a pretext to
the Prussians, the swords of his men remained in their
scabbards, and the muskets of the infantry were not
loaded. Near the village of Bronnaell a sharp fire
was opened upon them. Four or five men were
wounded. Whilst it was presumed that this opposi-
tion to the Federal troops, confirmed by bloodshed,
would lead to further hostilities, a Prussian herald
arrived at the head-quarters of the Bavarian troops,
the bearer of a letter from General VON GROEBEN,
saying that, according to instructions from Berlin, he
would evacuate Fulda on the 9th, and retire to the
transit ground. No further hostilities have taken
place."
The committee named by the President of the
dissolved Assembly of Wurtemburg sent an address
to the KING, but the Government returned it un-
opened. On the morning of the Bth the committee
wished to meet in the Chamber, but they found the
military in possession of it. It is supposed they will
protest, and assemble elsewhere.
RADETSKY has arrived at Vienna.
