MOVEMENT.
The Britannia, which sailed from Liverpool GU
the 10th inst, will, in all probability, have taken
out the result of the adjourned debate on Mr..
Herries' amendment for change in the naviga-
ton laws. On Friday, the 9th, a division took
place at late hour, with majority for the minis
teral motion-Mr. Herries' amendment-of liz.
The House then went into committee the reso-
luton was agreed to and reported forthwith. A
bill founded thereon was afterwards brought In,
and the House adjourned.

PRUSSIA
Berlin was tranquil on the l2th inst. The Prince
of Prussia has returned and taken his seat in the
representative assembly He was very coldly re-
ceved. Great agitation is still visible in Prussia.
DENMARK.
The idea OF peace between Germany and the
Danes vanishes daily, and whatever differences
may be drawn from the replies OF Lord Palmerston,
or Of Count Arnim, in Berlin, it is quite certain
that peace is more distant than ever. While these
ministers indulge Us with hopes, the German Par
Lament publicly declare that the war shall be car
many, till every foot of ground which they call
Germany Is given up by Denmark, and this means
nothing less than the whole of Schleswig. In the
meantime, vigorous warfare is kept up by the
bined forces on the 9th inst. The Danes COM
menced the attack near Dubel, about twelve
O'Clock on Monday, the 9th, retiring slowly upon
Dubel, where they were so well entrenched that
handed in person by General Wrangel in chief,
and General Halkett for the Hanoveriahs. Three
times they attempted to storm the entrenchment,
but without the least success, and their loss was
dreadful. Several battaions were completely cut
to pieces, and it is said upwards of 1000 men have
been lost on this occasion, on the side of the Ger
mans, besides some thirty or forty officers. Mon
day evening and Tuesday morning, upwards OF 500
wounded were brought into Flensburg; the loss
the part of the Danes was comparatively trifing,
the men being well protected by the entrenchment,
heavy guns doing the butcher work, against which
the Germans had only their small field pieces, their
heavy artillery being left behind. The troops are
quite dispiriled, and declare they will not advance
again upon Alsen, and it is generally supposed
no further attempt will be made upon this place
again. The Danes remain in their position by Du-
bel. The Prusslans are posted In Sunderwlttsch,
having relieved the army of the Diet, who retired
upon Flensburg, which place the Danes threaten
with bombardment
The appearance of things at Frankfort begins to
alarm our good citizens; already we see civil
war, or the greatest anarchy and disorder through
out the country. A few weeks will decide the fate
of Germany-the fate of the republicans or that Of
the sovereigns A very short time will also decide
consequence of orders from the Parliament; The
only thing to be bargained for, if possible, is for
an entrepot. That the result cannot be questioned,
the proceedings of the Chamber of Commerce
show, and now Hamburg may bid adieu to Its pri-
vileges, its rights, and Its commerce.
The Vienna Gasette publishes ministerial de-
cree, convoking the imperial diet, with only one
chamber, for the 26th June, with electoral law,
according to which one deputy will be returned on
Austria, however, in consideration OF Its CONNER
cial importance, will return 81 deputies, OF which
number Is will be returned by the city of Vienna.

: The opening of Sclavonic Congress at Prague
has truck chord In Austria which has vibrated
through the whole political frame of Germany.
The alternative " Scavonic or German never
came forward in SO prominent, 80 menacing form
as at the present moment.
The Cologne Gazette of the 9Th inst, in an able
article on the actual position of Germany towards
foreign powers, epeaks of this movement in the
following terms =

tribes of Austria. The Sclaves will not be satisfied

The Sclayonic Congress has already commenced
its deliberations. Palacky has been elected presi
dent, and the three principal sections of the Scla-
vonc race in Austria are led, the Czecho-Sclaves
by Schaffarkis, the East-Sclaves by Liebelt, and
the South-Sclaves by Stamatovitz. In the very
