GERMAN Y.
The Prussian Government, on the 14th, received a
dispatch announcing that the Elector of lIEssE 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
fixed upon Bockenhtiin (close to Frankfort, in the
Electoral territory) as the present seat of Govern-
ment, orders have been dispatched for the Prussian
battalion, in garrison at that place, to remove without
loss of time, either into Nassau or Ilesse Darmstadt.
The battalion in question is a part of the Prussian
contingent to the combine Austro-Prussian division,
which 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against the press have been withdrawn, and the Civic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 PrusEis for a free conference on German
affairs.

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—
" The rtore Angloph( his which they have been
laying in f r many 3ears is now taken out and aired in
an offensive, and, inched, in an absurd manner. In the
Caf6 Daum,' which is haunted by our officers, there was,
amidst the portraits of other royal personages, a portrait
of Queen Victoria. I say i: was there, for it was yester-
day assaulted by a Croatian officer, who, draaing his
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 manner,
and they curse the islanders, ' whom they cannot get at,'
and whom they long to 'shiver' as the officer did the
picture of tbeir Queen. But not only absurd—inched,
the insults are low and mean which were yesterday
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.

This is precisely the conduct we should expect from
the floggers of Madame DE INIADEasrAcn, and the
executioners of BATHYANI, the brave soldiers who
scampered off 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.

The Prussian Slants 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 pacification of the Duchies.
Negotiations are at this moment taking place on

another highly important subject. The Austrian Go-
vernment Envoy is of the same mind—that the King of
DENMARK ought to address a proclamation to the people
and to the Schleswig-Holstein army, calling upon
them for the last time to lay down their arms, pro-
mising them a general amnesty, and engaging to re-
organise the Schleswig army.
That in case
effectual, the Danish army should cross the Eider,
this proclamation should prove in-
and avail itself 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
successionshall he settled, It is proposed that if
