The contest between the political parties in
Prussia principally carried on in tins city, is still
the cause OF much agitation and occasional dis
tuIbances. The party of the Pfussins who are
against the union OF Prussia ana Germany, is the
great majority. The Prussiau National Assembly
which has I'LL now only held two sittogs n week,
Will Increase the slttings To- tour week. The
debates now become more interesting, and it is
hoped that the constitution Tor Prussia will be
completed IN much shorter time than it was
thought possible at first
The most important matter brought before the
Austrian Parliament, in The past week, was, that
the committee for the finances proposed, as the
most necessary measures to be taken by the par
liamset, firstly, to vote twenty millions of forms
for the Austrian government secondly, to obtain
an honorable peace IN Italy; and, thirdly, to
sbollsh the law by which the export of gold and
silver from Austria Is prohibited.
The German National Assembly, at Frankfort,
has appointed committee. to consult about the
manner in which an agreement between the differ
ent German Statesmght be obtained, tor the pur-
pose OF establishing customs-unIOn throughout
Germany. The difficulty of coming to an agree
ment about this is principally on account of AUS
trla, because 1t possesses certain monopOlles
which are the principal sources of the income of
the country, and which it cannot lose without de-
ranging the state of It's finances still more than
it is already.
