GERMANY.

The King of Prussia has left Potsdam to inspect
the corps now concentrated in and around T.-ltow.
The members of the Provisional Council of Princes
were on the 26th instant most suddenly convoked to
meet Baron Rad° wirz, who arrived from Potsdam
with a special message:
M. Van der Heidt, the Prussian Minister of
Trade, has now lost the support of the only inde-
pendent organ of public opinion which hitherto sup-
ported part of his commercial policy. The Constitu •
tionnelle Zeitung has in its last numbers become
Convert to tree trade.

' The Journal des Debats publishes the following
letter from Vienna, of the 211 inst.:--
" On the 18th, the jete day of the Emperor, deplorable
excesses took place at Pesth, in Hungary. In the course
of the morning the attitude of certain groups appeared
rather threatening, but they were not guilty of any acts
which could give the police a motive for interference.
In the evening, at the theatre, things assumed a different
appearance. While the first verses of the Austrian
national hymn were being sung by the actors, a group
of spectators in the centre of the pit, and
composed cf persons apparently belonging to the
respectable class, began to protest by cries, whistling,
and threats. Their insulting vociferstions were ad-
dressed to the highest persons of the State. To put
an end to the scene of tumult, the intervention
of the armed force was called for, and from
twenty to twenty-five persons were arrested.
Their social position, and the moment chosen by
them to promote disturbance, were an aggravation
of their fsult, and there was, moreover, on their part a
complete want of political tact, if not of gratitude, in
hazarding a shameful demonstration against the Empe-
ror immediately after the numerous pardons so gene-
rously granted by him. The authorities of Pesth, in-
stead of understanding their duty in delivering up these
guilty men to justice, allowed themselves to be led away
either by the effect of indignation, or by misunderstood
zeal, to use means which nothing can excuse in a civi-
lised country, and to inflict summery punishment with-
out any form of trial. The most guilty of the parties
were immediately incorporated as private soldiers in a
regiment, and the others had the bastinado applied to
them et the rate of 30 strokes each. Affairs do not
go on so well in Croatia as could have been wished. Na-
tional demonstrations are frequent, and, according to
ocular witnesses, the Ban. Jellachieh does not exert
himself sufficiently to repress them. You are aware that
the town of Fiume has already sent deputies to Vienna,
to demand that it may be detached from Croatia, and
united to the district of Fiume. This idea, which will
meat with many zealous advocates, even in the Cabinet,
will probably be carried out. As to the Danish question,
I em positively assured that Austria will be definitively
in accord with the northern powers on the question of
the Duchi. s. The rights of the Confederation over
Holstein, and certain administretive advantages fur
schi,,,,witz being guaranteed, the Cabinet of Vienna would
4,elere itself ready to accede, if necessary, to the eu
c-
cession of the family of Oleenburge, although it would,
perhaps, have preferred giving its vote to the house of
Hesse."
