A letter from Berlin, of the 6th says—" The mu-
nicipal elections of the town of Berlin have just
terminated. Only partial results are yet known,
but ttey gi. e the certainty tbat the party of order
has triumptel in all the sections, which is to be
ascribed to the zeal of the rnolerate electors, almost
all of whom twit part in the ballot. Several of
them, w'lo were so ill as not to be able to walk,
caused themsehei to be conveyed in arm-cbaira to
the voting places."

A letter from Berlin dated the 7t1,, in the Indepen-
dance of Brussels, says —'' All that journals publish on
the dispatches frc m Vienna relative to the proceedings of
Austria appears as yet premature. lam informed that
as yet nothing has arrived at Berlin. I ought to have
put you on your guard against the rumours which
the interview at Isehl had given birth to. The Augs-
burg Gazette and other journals have published state-
ments which are contradicted by Prince Schwarzen-
burg's organ, the Austrian Cortespoudent. Some
days back, the demi official journals of Berlin an-
nounced, as a thing nearly certain, that France and
England had stated that they would not recognise a
central German power to which Prussia should not
be a party, and that they would not send Ministers
to a poser of that kind. The news is exact,
and it is added th it the President of the French
Pe iublic expressed himself in that sense during
Lis tour, when the governor of the Rhenish province,
d E:chmann, went to comp iment him. Al. Tat.-
ley, agent of the French Republic at Frankfort has,
it is said, expressed an analogous opinion. As to the
resolution of Russia to hare itself represented in the
Diet, that is merely a supposition spoken of in a cor-
respondence. This is what is important in the affairs
( f Schie wig. The nth& ations of almost all the Go-
vernmeuts who form Fart of the union have arrived at
Berlin. Denmark has just consented that Prussia
should make the excl.:title of them in the usual
no le practised in such cases."—A letter from
Vienna of the sth in the Independance Beige, says :
" I have no doubt that the passage of Count iNessel-
rode through Vienna will occasion plenty of com-
m mts, and that some political motive will be attri-
buted to th it fict. I can certify that sack is not the
case, and that the arrival of the Russian Chancellor
of State was quite accidental. I can only say that
tse C ,unt, after a few hours' stay, and without hav-
ing made a single visit, lift the same day for Topli!a,
to see h's daughter, whence he was to continue his
jo irtity to St. Petersburgh. The Count seal accom-
panied by his son-!n-lavi-, Count Chreptowicz. I can
aha say, from my private source s of itif,rmation, that
Vat: interview a.. I,chl led to no decisive result, except.
the affair of Sch:es wig I.lo!stt in, which is now in a fair
way of being settled."

A letter from Cassel, Electoral Hesie, of ihe 7 h,
says that the superior authorities of the adtriui~tra-
tioa
of Finance bad presented ade!reries to the Lector,
pointit g cut the danger to which coinincrce ant the
country were exposed by the violation of the con,ti.
tutiun of which the Ministers have bten guilty in
advising the levying of tie taxes, though not voted
by tl e States. Another letter says, that although
there was money enough in the Treasury to pay the
salaries of the public functionaries, the Minister of
Finance, M. Hem:JO-lug lad g Yen t r lers that they
stwuld not be pi.id unless the plyment of the taxes
shou'd be preciously effected. The employes would,
it was said, briog actions for the amount due to them.
T::e Bavarian Gjvernment has issued a decree pro-
hibiting subscriptions and collections in aid of the
cause of the Duchies of S.ldeswig-Holstein.

DENMA RK AND THE DUCHIES.
Th 4 Rilner Zeitany of the 10 h •nstalt hat a tele-
graphic di-patch twin Altona, of the 9.h, stating
that t,kirmishes took place on the previous day on the
whole line of the ourposte. The left wing of the
Ilokteiners (the 9th and 11th battalions of Fiot and
the lit It tier) were driven back upon Suderstapel,
but bring reinforced by another detachment they ad-
vanced anew, and forced the Danes back upon the
Treene ; 58 ca,.)turd Dines were brough? to 'tenth.
burg ant tite wounded of the Ist 11-s (o-i nine
wsggcns) were fa'ten t ) Heide.
Toe centre of th,., Milstein army has advanced to
Jagel (near S:Lleswig) and Breckendorff.
It appears from Dretden letters of the sth inst. in
the Kiilner Zeitung that Austria and those Garman
G ivernm-nts which stand on her side are predaring
to interfere in the Duchies. This, at least, is the
moaning of a letter which the Saxish Cabinet has ad-
dressed to the Stadtholders in reply to their detnand
that Saxony should at length p:iy the debt she owes
to H ilstein for the expenses and maintenance of her
contingent in 1848.
