The German journals contain confused and con.

claiming the victory for the insurgents commanded
by MierOslawski, Others announcing The steady
advance of the Prussian troops. All accounts
agree that some severe fighting has taken place in
the vicinity Of Mannheim and Ludwigshafen.

General Condition Of the Empire.-The London
News narratss as follows the events Of the last few
weeks in Germany, and gives a seemingly impair
ta summary Of the present state Of affairs in the
States which win probably form the United Ger
man Empire:
At present, events and tendencies are in favor of
the realization of the King of Brussias scheme OF
a German political union. Almost all the States
have joined it secretly and overly. North Ger
many has acceded from the first The King Of
SaXODV has owed to Prussia the preservation Of his
authority Hanover and Brunswick are bound by
the same line. Mecklenburg has adhered The
small princes and States have met by their repre-
senatves at Frankfort, and given their consent or
least will urge their States 10 do Hesse Cas-
sci hesates or at least Its ministry Does TO join the
Prussian union at once, but at the right time Of
doing so it admits that adhesion must take place.
Hesse Darmstadt has cordially Joined Prussia
There remain but the Southern States These
by Austrian intrigues but by the attitude of The
Regent Archduke John, who, entrenehed in the
central power, has, during the last critical PERIOD
shown himself staunch and stubborn Austrian.
When Col Fischer went TO him from the Prince OF
Prussia, begging OF HIM 70 resign his post the Arch
duke declined giving up his authority 10 any sue
cessOrs save direetorY0f princes, as proposed by
Bavaria and Austria The Instruction of the
South came, however, as source of perplexity TO
the central power How put it down without
/ Prussian aid How obtain Prussian aid and re-
| fuse the inevitable conditions Il was then pro-
posed TO put down the Southern instruction by an
i army Of SoutherHs, chiefly composed Of Austrian
and Bavarian troops, with Prince Emelius Of Hesse
as a commander.
Prince Emelius was one Of the German princes
/ who adhered TO Napoleon, and who was taken
1 prisoner at the battle Of Leipsic Hatred to Prus-
4 STA is his only principle. The notable scheme of
generalship completely failed. Austria had no men
/ to spare, and Hesse Darmstadt put positive veto
on the design SO that the Regents army, and the
military exploits of Prince Emelius destroyed
| in embryo, Meantime matters were hard with the
/ Grand Duke of Baden. His army mutinied, he
himself was obliged to fly and no Austrian or
/ central power could serve him, he was compelled
TO pay bis vows TO the King Of Prussia.
There has resulted from this, as we learn from
our Frankfort correspondent, one of the most unto
| ward conventions, and one, we fear, likely to be
attended with bad results The Grand Duke of
Baden has so completely flung himself into the arms
Of Prussia, that he has agreed 10 send the army or
contingent Of Baden out of the Duchy to be com
| pletelV reOrganized by Prussan officers. Nay,
more the Baden constitution itself is 10 be reOrgan
lied not we hope, by PrussiRn officers and yet,
| if Gen. BrandenbuFg, and his etdt major of min
istry, have the doing Of 1t, II illindeed be mill
tary reform of civilian Institutions. This is the
worst of Prussia and its government at present
The sabre peeps out from under its every cloak its
edcts are gnnshols and its hints pricks of the bay
onet. If the King Of Prussia does not alter this
policy, and that quickly, he will lose all chance of
] ef.. esrnuNI,
Suabians are soft, but stubborn And any attempt
/ 10 gensdarme them and their constitution will
merely make South Germany Austrian again.
So loudly is the change from military TO con-
stitutOnal spirit called for, even IN Prussia ITSELF
! that the BrandenbuFg Manieufiel ministry went the
other day TO the King, and insisted on resigning,
alleging, with infinite TRUTH thatas long Feac-
tionary ministry remained in Office, the elections
would inevitably be ultra Democratic. The King
| is said to have admitted the fact with sigh, but
to have added that he could not yet part with vau
able scape-goats, whose backs had not yet received
their full load of sins.
4 Nothing had worked stronger for Prussia than
| the conduct of the secessionary members of the
i Frankfort Parliament the Rump they are called,
] who have assembled at Stulgardt, AT first they
i terrified the Wurtembnrg ministry, people, and
court, but these have acquired courage, seeing the
I powerlessness of the parliamentarians, who have
been showed abont from place TO place till they
were at last installed in a village brew house. En-
couTaged by this failure of the Left, the two Cen
tres Of the Frankfort Parliament, Gagern and
Vincke, Dahlmann and others, are about to meet
at Gotha, and send forth to Germany their solemn
adhesion to the constitution which the King OF
| Prussia has promulgated.
/ Bavaria, however, remains determinately hostile.
Its able minister, Won POrten, has just set of for
Vienna, to induce the powers there either to issue
some acceptable plan or constitution for Germany,
or to accept the Prussian constitution for tits Ger
man Provinces Won Piorten proceeds from Vienna
to Berlin, and we may entertain the hope that,
should he find the Austrian abnetlntractable, he
may not be averse TO Join the system Of Federal
Government, now accepted by almost the unver
salty Of States. Austria is, however, too as'ulei
and too obstinate 10 submit unless indeed, Hunga'
rian resistance should be prolonged, in which case
the House of Lorraine wouin be 100 glad 70 claim
the protection Of Germany, instead Of rePelng IL
alliance. In the struggle between the houses
however, Prussia daily gains ground. Would we
could also say that she was gaining liberalism il
proportion 10 her strength. Should she not, WI
can only prophesy that her strength will not fail
