Weekly national intelligencer., 1848-10-28

unusual degree of nerve in two manifestoes which
he has addressed to the people and army Of Hun
gary. He has ordered both parties in Hungary to
suspend hostilities, The Croais have obtained fur
ther and most decided victories over the Magyars,
and the condition of the latter has become very cri-
tical. In Frankfort the business of the Central
Parliament appears to be advancing satisfactorily.
The riots Of September have given the central power
an additional degree Of strength, which may lead TO
the best consequences to Germany. The new Mi.
nistry of The Archduke John has become popular
with the Assembly. Il can now depend upon the
support of the whole of the right and upon that of
about seventy members of the left, which will en-
sure il a tolerably large majority.
The King OF PRUSSIA has not gone to the exre-
mites feared and expected. He has not dislodged
the national or burgher guard from the capital, nor
has he flown so completely in the face OF the Ma
onal Assembly TO refuse to act up to its vote,
which required the military officers TO profess fidelity
TO the constitution or resign. The late Ministry,
that of Auerswad and Camphausen, refused to exc
cute this anti-military vote OF the Assembly they
feared the army. NJ. Beckerath, called in to re-.
place them, refused to affront the Assembly by
declaring for the independence of the army. The
King, in his dilemma applied to two general
officers, P(uel and Wrangel, to WELD all power,
attack upon the capital was expected in conse-
quence. But the King thought better Of it. Gen.
Pfuel has declared his determination to pursue
constitutional course. The military party in Prus-
sia is of course indignant They call the Kings
conduct an abdicaon, and say that he has laid his
crown at the feet of the rabble But it is not with
out good grounds that he has declined the advice of
his brother, the Prince of Prussia, who is known
to have recommended putting down the Assembly
and the burgher guard by means of the military
We may hope that the crisis in Prussia, fearful as
it was, has passed
There is very little news from ITALY, but many
rumors respecting Naples and Sicily. The last is
that Messina has been recaptured by the Sicians ;
but this may well be doubted.
HOLLAND is advancing with the formation of her
new constitution very calmly and quietly.
SPAIN seems full of Carlst and Montemon skir-
mishing, and to be always about something, al
though nothing comes to pass; but even this is
better than the torpidity of Portugal.
From the north of Europe there is nothing what
ever, excepting report that five thousand Russians
had crossed the Pruth to reinforce the army of oc-
cupation in Moldava, and that winter quarters are
to be prepared in that country for seventy thousand
men. This will be occupation in earnest.
There is news from Sir JAMES Ross and the ex-
pediton in search of Sir JOHN FRANKLIN and his
gallant companions to the 10Th July, when the ships
were at Uppernavick, Davis's Straits. We are
sorry to say that up to that time they had not the
slightest intelligence trace of the objects Of their
anxious inquiries. They had not seen any pieces
of wreck, nor, with their most dilgent researches,
had they discovered the slightest clue to the fate of
their adventurous counuymen.
The minor theatres in London are about COM
mencing their winter campaign, and Sadcrs Wells,
the Princess, and the Adelphi had opened, and
all with very satisfactory success. Mr.. Bum is
about opening Drury Lane with very strong CON-
pany for English opera and the ballet. Miss May
wood, who made her debut, we believe, in the Uni
ted States, and who has acquired much fame as
daSsuse at some Of the principal Italian theatres,
has been engaged with Mr.. Bum.
The literary world affords nothing new. The
magazines for the month are unusually trashy.
OCTOBER 6.--There is but little news this morn
ing. Mr.. Whiteside has commenced the defence
of Mr.. $. O'BRIES. He would occupy two days.
MADRID paper says: /" Considerable sensation
was created among the diplomatic Circles at Ma
drid by an insult which had been offered to The
: family of the American Minister in that capital
: The Minister had sent note to the Government
demanding an immediate apology and reparation,
: declaring that otherwise he would demand his
passports and return
From PRUSSIA we hear that there is every proba-
bilty that tie negotiations with Denmark will lead
to peaceful arrangement. A letter from Strasburg
states that notorious acobn Of Baden, an ex-mem-
Der to the Frankfort Parliament, is on his voyage
to the United States, having been engaged by an
elecioneering agent of Gen. Cass's party to aid in
the organization of the German emigrants in the
United States in the support Of that gentleman at
the approaching Presidential election.
Late arrivals from Vienna state that the Austrian
Government had deGnitivcly rejected the Anglo
French mediation respecting Italy. -
