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 they give the certainty that the party "of order
has triumphed in all- the sections, which is to be
ascribed .to the zeal of the moderate electors, almost
all of whom tcok part in the ballot. Several of
them, who were so ill as not to be able to walk,
caused themselves to be conveyed in arm-chairs to
the voting places." • - •
A letter from Berlin dated the 7th, in the Indepen-
dance of Brussels, says —" All that journals ptibljs:h:On

days back, the demi official journals of Berlin an-
nounced, as a thing nearly certain, that France and
England bad 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 power •of that kind. • The news is exact,
and i is added that the President of the French
Republic expressed himself in that sense during
his tour, when the governor of the Rhenish province,
M. d'Eichmann, went to comp iment him. M. Tan-
ley, agent of the French Republic at Frankfort has,
it is said, expressed an analogous opinion. As to the
resolution of Russia to have itself represented in the
Diet, that is merely a supposition spoken of in a cor-
respondence. This is what is important in the affairs
of Schleswig. The ratifications of almost all the Go-
vernments who form part of the union have afrived at
Berlin. . Denmark has just_ consented that Prussia
should make. the exchange of them in the usual
mole practised in such cases."—A letter from
Vienna of thvith in the Indipendance Beige, says :
" I have no doubt that the passage of Count Nessel-*
rode through Vienna will occasion plenty of com-
ments, and that some political motive will be attri-
buted to that fact. I can certify that such is not the
case, and that the arrival of the Russian Chancellor
of State was quite accidental. .1 can only say that
the Count, after a few hours' stay, and without hav-
ing made a single visit, left the same day for Toplita,
to see his daughter, whence he was to continue his
journey to St. Petersburgh. The Count was accom-
panied by his son-in-law, Count Chreptowicz. I can
DLO say, from my private sources of information, that
the interview at Lchl led to no decisive result, except
the affair of Schleswig Holstein, which is now in a fair
way of being settled."

A letter from Cassel, Electoral Hesse, of the 7th,
says that the superior authorities of the administra-
tion of Finance had presented addresses to the Elector,
pointing out the danger to which commerce and the
country were Expsed by the violation of the consti•
tution of which the Ministers have been guilty in
advi4ing the levying of the taxes, though not voted
by the States. Another letter says, than
there was money enough in the Treasury to pay the
salaries of the public functionaries, the Minister of
Finance'', M. Hassenpflug had given orders that they
should not be paid unless the payment of the taxes
should be previously effected. The employis would,
it was said, bring actions for the amount due to them.-
Tne Bavarian Government•has issued a decree pro-
hibiting subscriptions and coll,ctions in aid of the.
cause of the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The 101ner Zeitung of the 10. h instant his a tele-
graphic dispatch from Altona, of the 9.h, stating
that skirmishes took place on the previous day on the
whole line of the outposts. The left wing of the
Ilolsteiners (the 9ch and 11th battalions of Foot and
the Ist Rifles) were driven back updn Siiierstapel,
but being reinforced by another detachment 'they ad-
vance! anew, and forced the Danes back upon the
Treene; 58 captured Danes were brought to Rendi-
burg• and, the wounded of the Ist Rifles (on nine
waggons) were taken to Heide.
Tne centre of the Holstein army has 'advanced to
Jagel (near Schleswig) and Breckendorfr.
It appeirs fiom Dresden letters of the sth inst. in
the Kulner Zeitung that Austria and those German
Governments which stand on her side are preparing
to interfere in the Duchies. This, at least, is the
meaning of a letter which the Saxish Cabinet has ad-
dressed to the Stadtholders in reply to their demand
that Saxony should at length pay the debt she owes
to Holstein for the expenses and maintenance of her
contingent in 1848.
