The contumacy of the Blum of Cum. is still at

The Brussels Papers detail the circumstances of a
most shocking murder, perpetrated by an individual
who must have been acting under insanity. 'Attracted
to the spot by the cries of the sufferer, the patrole
found him busy making a fire of the bed of a girl,
ten years old, whom he had stabbed with a hay-fork,
and was then roasting. on the ire. The criminal,
who seemed to be raving, was soon seized and ar-
rested, and, confessing his crime, declared that he
had committed it, because his victim was a sorceress,
and that if :3e could have 14d hold cf his wife and
his sister, they should have shared the same fate.

Accounts that may be depended on state, that a
Declaration from Prussia has beer% received by the
Diet, in which its conduct in the affair of Hoffmann
is entirely approved. As there is no doubt but the
Austrian Declaration, which is naturally delayed by
the greater distance as well as the Declaration of
a great. majority, will be conformable to the Prus.
siert, it is to be hoped that this difference, the only
one of consrquence since the opening of the Diet,
will only tend to show in a clearer light, the necessity
of a regular progressive developement of the great
concern.
