The last steamer brought us news Of the
defeat Of the election Of the Prussian King
to be Emperor Of Germany. The following
letter from Frankfort, to the Newark, N. j.,
Advertiser, will explain how this was done !:
FRAsxroar, March 22, ls49.
Contrary 10 all expectations, the proposition Of
Welcker 10 choose Immediately the King Of Prussia,
hereditary Emperor Of the Germans, has not been
carried. Il, was lost by vote Of 2s3 against 252.
This WINS owing chiefly TO the sudden arrival Of
about thirty new Austrian members, whose election
has recently takeu In several parts Of Austria before
not represented. These elections have been made
through the influence Of the Austrian Government
that has observed for some time with distrust the
increasing influence Of the Prnssian party In the
National Assembly. n f
So sure, however, did the ministerial party think
themselves Of gaining the question, thnt cannon
were even ordered out TO various parts Of the town.

aud ball In celebration OF H. was actually prepared
for the evening. W4iss
The effect Of the result upon the ministry was os
overwhelming as II was unexpected. Won Gdgern
became pale In his seat; and Welcker the mover Of
the notion left the House. 1t is said like mnd man

The Kinney Rangers, with Col. snvely ut their
