- - - -
It is stated in the Elberfeld Gazette that the Prus-
sian Minister to the Court of Bavaria has received
orders from the Prussian Foreign Minister to hold him-
self in readiness to leave at a moment's notice.
The Bavarian Foreign Minister has received a no-
tice from the Berlin Cabinet, that if Bavaria makes
any hostile demonstration, in support of the decision of
the Frankfort Federal Club, against Hesse, Prussia
will make reprisals.
The Independence of Brussels of yesterday says:—
" The news from Germany may be summed up in one
word—expectation. All regards are turned towards
Warsaw, as it is there we are assured that will be de-
cided, in the conferences of the Emperors of Austria
and Russia, assiste4 by Prince Schwartzenberg and
Count Brandenburg, representatives of Prussia, all the
questions which at present agitate Germany—those of
Hesse, Schleswig, the supremacy of Austria and Prussia.
In spite of all the rumours of war, of marches and coun-
ter-marches, it is believed at Vienna, as at Berlin, that
peace will be the result of the confidences of Vienna.
Under the powerful mediation of Russia, the two rival
Governments of Germany will succeed in coming to an
understanding. At whose expense? We will not anti-
cipate, but it is permitted to suppose that it will not he
precisely to the advantage of constitutional ideas.
Prussia may have its free conferences, but she will pay
for them dearly, as there will probably be no more Cen-
tral Partial:tient in Germany—an indefinite adjournment
of thn Phrliament of the Union—an arbitral tribunal for
the Heyman questipn (that is, no doubt, a proclamation
of the tight of the Elector against the States), and,
finally, •an intervention in the Duchies—an armed in-
tervention if the Lieuter.ancy-General refuses to submit
without some concessions from Denmark. Such, it is
said, will be the result of the conferences of Warsaw,
but our readers will understand that these are only con-
jectures."
