GERMANY.

The Legitimatist Gazette de France publishes the
rollowing correspondence from Vienna :
" A letter from our correspondent at Vienna, of the
Bth, states that the note in reply to that which M. de
Rosenberg brought from Berlir., on the subject of the
free conference, lett on the 7th. As our correspondent
hal led us to anticipate, the proposition was rejected.
He adds that the reply of the Austrian Cabinet was very
categorical on the subject of the free conferences. The
'Prince de Schwartsenberg once more refers the Cabinet
of Berlin to the treaties of 1815, declaring that the
moment would be ill chosen to deviate from them. sicce
the Germanic Diet was almost reconstituted. The Prince,
moreover, expressed his opinion that the conferences
proposed by Prussia would only throw Germany into a
provisional situation even more dangerous than the for-
mer one. He observed that the Diet, being legally re-
established, might the more efficaciously occupy itself
with the revision of the federal constitution, as it would
have the character of power recognised by the great
powers."
The Journal des Debuts has the following from
Berlin of the 12th :
" It is affirmed that the Cabinet has sent a reply to
the last proposition from Vienna. The Government
persists in demanding that no time be lost in arranging
the free conference, and refuses to pronounce, by way
of preliminary, by the College of Princes, the dissolu-
tion of the union. It is thought that Austria will sus-
pend her armaments, the telegraph having brought news
last night of an order to suspend their march having
been issued to the regiments on the military frontier.
The retreat of General Groeben upon Hersefeld and
Cassel was a necessity. His position was compromised
to a degree that his communication with the other Prus-
sian corps in Saxony and Thuringia might have been
intercepted. With regard to the Duchies, it is positive
that neither our Government nor that of Brunswick will
allow a passage across their territories to the Austrians.
It is just rumoured that General Nostiz goes on an ex-
traordinary mi,sion to Hanover. Nothing is as yet set-
tled with regard to General de Radowiiz. It is probable
that, M. Manteuffel will retain the Foreign-office. As
to the entry of Prince Solms into the Ministry, it is
nothing but salon gossip."
The warlike enthusiasm throughout the Prussian
dominions is at its height, and the inhabitants of the
Rhenish Provinces are no whit behind their fellow-
countrymen in their desire to vindicate the honour of
Prussia ; the army and the people are deeply discon-
tented at the retreat of the troops from Hesse-Cassel,
and General Vox DER GROBEN, the commander of
Prussianthe

The withdrawal of the troops from Hesse was in con-
sequence of a note from Russia declaring that the
EstrEaou would consider a continuance of the Prus-
sian policy in the electorate a cans bells. The move-
ment of Russian troops towards Gallicia and Hungary
still continues.
The Berlin Constilutionelle of the 12th has the

following
" The news of the arrival of an English note, in
which Lord Palmerston protests against the occupation
of Hungary or Gallicia by Russian troops, in case of a
cot Met between Austria and Prussia. circulated this day
at the Bourse, and produced great effect among specula-
tors. Similar intelligence is communicated by the Ham-
burgh correspondent."
It was considered at Berlin on the 13th that there
would be no war; the Prussian propositions had been,
it was said, accepted at Vienna. This idea receives
confirmation from the Vienna intelligence of the 11th,
which states that the Austro-German question was
leading to a pacific solution.
The Prussian troops have evacuated the territory
of the Electorate of Hesse except the military roads;
the Federal troops entered Cassel on the 12th.
Encouraged by the aid which the Red IMPEROR
has given the Elector of HESSE to violate a constitu-
tion which he had sworn to observe, the King of
WIRTEMBERG has:applied to Austria for military aid
in order to enable him to violate the Wirtemberg
Constitution.
Letters from Frankfort of the 13th state that
the Prussian troops will be withdrawn from Baden, and
that the fortress of Rastadt will be evacuated.
The King of HANOVER has protested against the
passage of Austrian troops through his territory.
A letter from Vienna, in the Cologne Gazette,chted
10,1 instant, says—
" I hear from a well-informed quarter that England
has put the question to Austria whether the latter, in
the re-organization of the Diet, has in view the uncondi-
tional maintenance in their integrity of the treaties of
1815, and if the proposed. modifications will lead to any
change in the territorial relationship of any of the Fe-
deral powers, as the admission of combined Austria
(Gesami-Wsterreich) into the Diet would need the ad.
hesion of those powers who signed t"emselves guaran-
tees of the Diet. Such an admission (that of combined
Austria) would be no less abtormal than the Prus-
sian Union. 111. de Persigny is said to have induced
the French
Government to take a similar view
of the case, and instructions have been sent to that effect
to M. de la Dour, the French representative here, to be
communicated by him to Prince Schwartzenberg. At all
events, a recognition of the Frankfort Assembly by the
two great western powers is not yet contemplated. In
the Council of Generals, held yesterday, R,adetaky
strongly expressed his disapprobation of the aggressive
policy of the Diet, and of the untimely and injudicious
article in the Vienna Gazette (that of the 6th Kist)."
