GERMAN Y.

The new Minister of Foreign Affairs of Baden,
M. de Rudt, has declared both in private and in the
Couneil of Ministers that he will adhere to the policy
hitherto followed and to the alliance with Prussia.
The Frankfurter Journal of the 31st states that it
has received intelligence that General Hahn is charged
to propose to the Lieutenancy of the Duchies an
amnesty of six months. Such an amnesty, it remarks,
would be equivalent to the abandonment of the cause
of the Duchies.
The German Gazette of Frankfort, of the 31st ult.,
says :—" We have been informed from good authority
that the Austrian and Bavarian troops will this day
cross the frontier of Electoral Hesse ; but it is not be-
lieved that any conflict will result from that step, as
the Bavarian troops have certainly received orders to I
avoid all collision. It is also thought that the Prus-
sians will this day enter Cassel."
The Cologne Gazette, under date of Frankfort,
says—" The Hessian troops of Hanau and the neigh-
bourhood, as well as of Bockenheim, have received
orders to dismiss from 25 to 30 men from each com-
pany, who are required to deliver up all their arms
and equipments. It is probable that the same mea-
sure will be applied to the troops of Cassel on their
arriving in the province of Hanau. It is thought
that there is an idea of disbanding the army, and
afterwards of re-organizing it."
The Cologne Gazette contains the following letter
from Berlin, dated October 30 :—" M. de Persigny
has, it is affirmed, given here very satisfactory ex-
planations relative to the views of France with re-
spect to the Duchies. The news from Warsaw are
not equally satisfactory. The Emperor of Russia
has, it is said, declared in favour in all things of
the absolutists of Austria, the constitutional
system of Prussia being displeasing to him.
His desire is to come to a close with the outbreak in
Hesse, and to reconstitue Germany on the basis of
the treaties of 1815. It appears that independently
of the oral conferences, written communications were
also used to hasten the conclusion. The Count de
Brandeburg is expected here to-morrow or the day
after. A co-operation with the Austrian troops, or
the Federal ones, is not to be thought of.. The funds
have fallen."
The Cologne Gazette states from Vienna, 25th ult.,
that considerable reinforcements are being marched
from Hungary into Bohemia, in order that the army
there concentrated may be able to take the field at
the first signal. The artillery from the garrison of
Vienna are to go into the fortress of Bohemia.

INVASION OF HESSE BY THE
AUSTRIANS AND BAVARIANS.
A Frankfort letter of the Ist inst., in the Kolner
Zeitung, states that at one o'clock P.M. on that day, a
Bavarian corps of 8,000 men, under the command of
the Prince Thurn and axis, and accompanied
by 1,000 Austrian rifles and 20 field pieces, entered
the city of Hanau. The corps having been reviewed
in that city by the Prince Taxis, a strong detach-
ment of it proceeded in the direction of Gelnhausen.
The head-quarters remained at Hanau, supported
by 3,500 troops—horse, foot, rifles, and artillery.
Their entry was very sudden, and so little pre-
pared
were the inhabitants of Hanau, that great
difficulty was found in quartering the troops. The
inhabitants of Hanau remained tranquil, and the only
demonstration they made was the tearing off and
pasting over of the proclamation of the Elector and
of Count Rechberg, who addressed them in his
quality of "Federal Commissioner."
The Elector's proclamation states that the im-
portance of the movement, that is to say, the entry of
Federal troops into his dominions, makes it neces-
sary for him to address a word of confidence
to his faithful subjects, and that he confidently
relies on the well-tried loyalty of his people. ,
The Elector proceeds to inform his subjects
that the events of which they are witnesses, are
the consequence of the unconstitutional refusal of
taxes of the dissolved Assembly of States, and that
the Charter of the Constitution empowers him (the
Elector), and, indeed, obliges him to take extraordi-
nary measures for the safety of the State. After re-
capitulating the events of last month, the orders in
Council, and the disobedience of his officers, the
Elector proceeds to protest, that these circumstances
imposed upon him the disagreeable necessity of asking
for the support of Federal troops, for, says he—
" We should be unfaithful to our duties as a Sovereign
which God has laid upon us, if we permitted the arbi-
trary views of our servants to influence the course which
our Government is to take, and it we consented to, be-
sides the power which we have inherited, which the char-
ter of our country confers on us, and which God himself
has given us, another power, which is said to be vested
in the servants of the State, asserting itself in a seemingly
legal manner."
The Elector then proceeds to state that Austrian
and Bavarian troops would enter the country on the
day on which this proclamation was published, and
that these troops would execute the resolutions of the
"Federal Diet," and enforce the state of war, and he
protests that the occupation of Hesse by the troops
of the German Confederation has no other purpose
but to re-introduce a state of legality and order, and
to renew, confirm, and protect the loyalty of his sub-
jects. This decree is dated from Wilhelinsbad, of the
28th ult., and countersigned by the Ministers, Ilassen-
pilug, Volmar, flaynau, and Baumbach.
Immediately after the invasion of the Bavarian ,
troops, the soldiers of Electoral Hesse left Hanau and
proceeded by way of Frankfort to Bockenheim and
Praunhiritn.
A telegraphic dispatch from Cassel of the 2d inst.,
in the Zaino. Zetiung, states, that the battalion of
Cassel Rifles has left the capital, and that no soldiers
being left to guard the town, the Civic Guard has oc-
cupied the guardhouse and the posts of the sentries.
Advices received by electric telegraph from Berlin
of the 2d state that the intelligence of the entry of a
Bavarian and Austrian force into Hessse had revived
the rumours of impending war.
The following dispatch is contained in the Cologne
Gazette of yesterday :
"BERLIN, Nov. 2, NIOEI.T.
" The leading article of the Deutsche Reform, which
has just been given out, assumes a bolder and more
martial tone. The dispatches which announce the
invasion of Hesse by Bavarian and Austrian troops have
suggested the possibility of a conflict. The Deutsche
Reform has, however, still some hope that Bavaria
will repent of her ' hasty measure,' and that an apo-
logy will be tendered to Prussia."

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

----- --.
Advices from Hamburgh, of the Ist, state that the
Holsteiners insist on the evacuation of Schleswig by
the Danes as the only condion on which they will
consent to an armistice.
