GERMAN Y.

Count BEENSTORFF had not arrived at Berlin on
the 9th, hut dispatches had been received from him.
It i 5 said that in two days Prinsia will have 480,000
men under arm.

By a royal order published on the evening of the
9th, all subjects cf Prussia belonging to the army,
land wehr, or reserve, are recalled from any foreign
whether they have leave of absence or not.
The order will be a fatal blow to the Holstein army,
as it will deprive it of its best officers and 3,000 or
4,000 men.

The funeral of Count BRANDENBURG bad taken place
with military honours.

The greatest enthusiasm prevails at Berlin in con-
sequence of the energetic position assumed by the
Government. Addresses are being prepared assuring
the KING of the satisfaction of the people, and of their
determination to sacrifice their lives and property to
maintain the honour of their country.
The Kolner Zeitung does not share in this enthu-
siasm, and severely comments on the folly of the Go-
vernment in not endeavouring to engage the co-opera-
tion or friendship of England, France, or Sardinia.
" No state," says the Kolner Zeitung, " has any in-
terest to come to the assistance of Prussia, unless the
annihilation of that state be the first step towards the
establishment of despotism throughout Europe." And
itddressing the Piussiun Minister that paper adds—
"lt is only in the name of liberty, which you
scoff at, that you can find your allies again,t
despotism. But the name of liberty would, indeed,
sound strangely from your lips. Did you not
from the first offer to co-operate for the suppression of
right in Electoral flexse ? Did you not express your
apprehensions lest the princely authority of thst
crowned caricature might be violated ? Did you not
match your troops to the very frontier, threatening, at
the first movement of impatience or resistance, to bear
down upon that poor and martyrized people ? Those
are very wrong who believe that Prussia—that the
present official Prussia, can ever reckon on the alliance
of the national movements of any country. Prussia has
nobody to rely on, because no ore can rely on Prussia.
The long and the short of it is, that you Lave not a
single ally, and that the peculiarity of your character
is not likely to make 'friends. We trust, indeed, that
England will distinguish between the people and the
Government."

Intelligence from Fulda, states that General GILOE-.
BEN, in a letter to the Prince of Tour; and TAXIS, has
accepted the state of war. The Prussians have taken
up strong positions near the town, and have protected
them by the inundation of the valley. Their ad-
vanced posts are about a league frem Fulda towards
.Narhof. The advanced posts of the federal troops are
distant about a quarter of a league, at Loeschenrod.
The Cologne Gazette publishes the following in a
third edition :
" Letters from Fulda announce that the first shots
have been fired. A Bavarian detachment of cavalry
having approached too near the Prussian lines, the cum-
inandinw officer twice warned them to retire; the Bava-
rians still advanced, when the Prussians fired. Two or
three of the Bavarians fell, the rest retired."
The above account is then contradicted.

Under the date of _Frankfort, the 9th inst., the
Oben Post Amts Zeitung says :—" The Prussian
troops that have entered the Electorate have com-
menced hostilities against the Federal troop?. On the
Bth, General Prince THURN and TAXIS pushed his
advanced guard forwards on the Fulda road. His
object was simply to reconnoitre, and to make a
change of quarters. To avoid giving a pretext to
the Prussims, the swords of his men remained in their
scabbard:, and the muskets of the infantry were not
loadad. Near the village of Bronnzell a sharp fire
was opened upon them. Four or five men were
wounded. Whilst it was presumed that this opposi-
tion to the Federal troops, confirmed by bloodshed,
would lead to further hostilities, a Prussian herald
arrived at the head-quarters of the Bavarian troops,
the bearer of a letter from General VON GROEBEN,
saying that, according to instructions from Berlin, he
would evacuate Fulda on the 9th, and retire to the
transit ground. No further hostilities have taken
place."

The committee named by the President of the
dissolved Assembly of Wrurtemburg sent an address
to the KING, but the Government returned it un-
opened. On the morning of the Bth the committee
wished to meet in the Chamber, but they found the
military in possession of it. It is supposed they will
protest, and assemble elsewhere.
RADETSKY has arrived at Vienna.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Hamburyh Borsenhalle of the Bth has the fol-
lowing from Copenhagen :
" Oar Governtnent,itis said, will not consent either

to an armistice with Holstein or to the settlement of the
Schleswig-Holstein question by three Commissioners
nominated for the purpose by Austria, Prussia, and
Denmark, as proposed."
The reply of the Statthalterschaft of Kiel to the
summons of Count TuuN, in the name of the Diet, to
suspend hostilities against the Danish army in Schles-
wig, to reduce the insurrectionary army one-third,
and to retire south of the Eider, denies the right of
the Ministers assembled at Frankfort to issue orders
in the name of Germany, and refuses obedience.
The following is a translation of the text of the
summons issued by the Frankfort Diet:—

EXTRACT FROM THE PROTOCOL OF THE IiTH SITTING
OF THE DIET DCNE AT FRANKFORT ON THE 28TH

" 1. Immediately after the exchange of the ratifica-
tions of the peace of the 2d of July, 1850, to intimate to

Enjoin the Statthalterschaft to take care that no attack
shall be made; but that, on the contrary, the Holstein
troops shall bo withdrawn to the south of the Eider, and
that leave of absence shall be given to et least two-
thirds of them. The President of the Bund shall be

military measures shall be taken by the Danish troops,
and that in consequence of the reduction of the Holstein
army a similar diminution will be made in the Danish
army in the south of Schleswig.

President of the Diet.
