The Rhcnish Provinces are in yerv dis.
turbed state, and it would be an endless tnsk
to enumerate the numerous outbreaks. Our
readers are aware that it had been agreed hv,
the German States that National AssembiS
or Parliament for all Germany should NEE,

the Diet on the reform of the Confederation.
But no sooner had this promise been given
than elfselected club, from which all the

excluded, assembled in Frankfort, to antci-
pate the deliberations of the legal represen-
tatives ofthe country; and these persons,
though invested with no sort of authority be-
You'd that which they had conferred unon
themselves, passed resolutions of their own,
virtually set aside the actual Diet of Germa
ny,and might have changed the destinies of
the nation. In Difference TO this Provisional
Diet at Frankfort, the king of Prussia has
been compelled to rescind the election offed-
eral representatives nominated by his own
Diet, and TO consent that they should be e.

PRUSSIA.
The King yields with readiness to the pop
ular will and goes with the Current of free
dom which he could not stem. The Diet,
before separating,voted large loan to be ap-
piled in the relief oftrade and agriculture, at
the discretion ofthe Governments liberal

is, of being mercantile men, familiar with the
details of business, will make good use.

DENMARK AND SCTILESWIG HOL-
STEIN.
Letters from Hamburg confirm the fact of
the Danish capture and occupation ofSchles-
wig, while $4,000 Prussian troops have been
assembled against them. When the o. N.
G. steamer Hermann left Bremen on the 18th
ult. it was feared there that the German ports
would be blockaded by the Danes.
RUSSIA.
! The Russian Government is adopting ev-
cry possible measure of defence, and with ev-
cry forbearance. The military reinforcement
demanded by Prince Paskiewitsh has arriv-
ed. and set off for the frontiers. 100000 are
to follow, if necessity should require it.
An engagement between Hungary and
INuSSld, III ana respecting INC DuCilSS VI tuo
Danube, is considered inevitable. The in
dependent Hungarian Government seems re-
solved upon the speedy armament ofthe peo-
pie, and extensive warlike preparations. The
Emperor is sa id to have privately expressed
his qualification at the overthrow OF Eollls
Philippe, but declared that the French Re-
public must not attempt to cross the Kline,
POLAND.
Warsaw is perambulated by patrols, butt

their deliverance by Germany, and hope 10
secure it by remaining quiet TO the enaS

from ST. Petersburg. The intelligence from
Cracow is of peaceful character. ..
