| BERLIN, March 6, l8l9.
The Crists IN the A6ars of Germany.
The great enemy [of Germany and the whole
civilized world, has already passed the Austrian
frontiers. Russia has advanced one s,eo turtle r
Into the heart of Europe; Russian army has en-
tered Pennsylvania. Such is the sum and sub
stance of the intelligence which, at the present
moment, rc-echoes throughout Germany and Eu.
rope, and which hasten to communicate to you.
When informed you, in previous letter OF what,
at the time, was profound secret, known but to
few, that a treaty had been concluded between
hassia and Austria, tor the purpose OF opposing a
union OF the German States you were probably not
aware that events would confirm this state
ment. But the combinations of Russia and Aus
ira against Germany have been revealed to the
wnoie OF Europe. Russian forces are now being
concentrated along the frontiers OF Germany, at
tne Danube, IN Transylvana, and on the frontiers
OF the Grand Duchy OF Posen. According to the
latest advices we have from Russia. the greatest
guard, is advancing to TIE southwest. 1t Is evil
cent from these movements and the occupation of
Iransylvana by the Russian troops, that the cabl-
nets at ST. etersburg and Olmutz have already de-
teImlAed ON the course OF policy towards Ger
many.
After the Hungarian war will have been brought
70 close, by decisive blow of the united forces
OF Austria and Russia, and the lnsurrecuonary
tina, backed by Russia, will dictate to Germ any
the terms on which alone pr ace can be maintained
The probability that this will be the line OF policy
soopted by these powers with regard to Germany,
has lately been received here. that the Russian
government contemplates 10 Issue circular note

the part Of Ge, many, as a breach of peace. am
bound TO- tell you, that this information Is believed
70 be authentic In the best Informed quarters here
"A declaration to the same effect moreover, 1t Is
stated, will likewise be issued on the part Of the
Austrian government. The latter, at the present
moment, has suspended all negotiations with Prus.
sla, and 1t Is reported to-day, that the Austrian
minister here will be recalled shortly. The Prus-
saR gGvsrnmsn nevertheless ~ T. stated on good
standing with Austria, as long as it can do with
dignity. Prussia, however, Is pledged to support
q federal union. In the speech frem the throne at
the opening OF the Chambers, on the 18th ult.,
the King Of Prussia declared, what the cabinet
here had already stated in the official notes re-
Gently issued, that Prussia would make every sacr-
flee to establish union between the States OF Ger
many. According to accounts from Frankfort,
the Prussian government is endeavorlDg at present
to settle compromise between the National AS.
sembly and Austria. 1t Is hoped, on the part of
Prussia that union, without the exclusion of Aus
tria, will be possible. II reconciliation with
Austria cannot be effected, the rupture between
the latter and Prussia must, under existing cir
cumstances, lead to hostilites.
The government here has lately issued orders
tor the completion OF all preparations for war. The
Prusslan army ID to be considerably increased,
and the reserve troops to be called H. In Austria,
preparations TOR war are actively carried on. We
are, to all appearances, on the eve of great events
Within the last few days, the announcement has
been received by the government here, from the
Danish cabinet, that the armistice with Denmark
will cease on the 18th instant Although the ne
DONATIONS had almost led to a settlement on the
Danish question, the government at Copenhagen
has now declared that it will not assent to prolon-
CATION OF the armistice. TINS intelligence has
produced the greatest sensation here. 1t was
wholly unexpected, even by the Prussian govern
ment; and the King, in his speech from the
throne, on the day before it was received here,
stated that there good prospects that the diff
terences with Denmark would be settled soon. As
have just been informed, however, the Prussian
government still hopes that, before the armlstlce
expire g, peace by the mediation of England will
be settled at London
Accounts received to- day, from Copsnagen, state
chat the Danish government is preparing for war.
Orders to Ortfy the important harbor of FREDERICK
nave Just been gwen; and DANISH army OF 600
troops Is to be cOncentra ed near the frontiers of
Sch!eswlg. In case hosttles will be resumed,
Prussia 10 determined to remain passive at the first
opening Of the war. The avantguard against the
Danes will be furnished by other States of Ger
many; but a Prussian army OF 10000 men will be
stationed at the frontiers OF HOlsen, the reserve
Of the German troops A report, which CIRCULATED
here yesterday, states that the ministers OF Prussia
and Austria, at Copenhagen, had declared to the
Danish government, that il hostlites would be re-
sumed, their governments weuld offer their assist
ance to Denmark. This report was believed to be
true by many
kpprehen slons are again entertained that a de-
m0nsuatlon, the part of the radical party, Will
be made here soon, and the government has taken
active steps to prevent 1t. Disturbances among the
workmen IN this city have lately frequently &C.
cured, but were occasioned principally in cOnse-
quencc of want OF employment 1t Is now stated
that conspiracy among the democratic party, not
only beie, but throughout Germany, has been
formed, and that insurrectlon In this city and in
other parts OF the country will take place In this
month. The prospect of war has again encouraged
the radical party; for, if the troops will be ordered
to the frontiers TO meet the enemy, then will be
the time to make reforms in the Interior country.
As long, however, as General Won Wrangel holds
possession Of this capital, and the state Of siege
lasts, can you that here, at least, the radl
Gals stand bad chance.
The Chambers, which were opened by the King,
last week, have not yet commenced deliberations
on the important questions which are now before
them. They have, until to-day, been occupied
course of this week, open discussions on the laws
OF the new constitution, the position OF Prussia in
the union OF the German States, the foreign rela-
tons ct Germany, and other interesting subjects.
The government, IT Is undo rstoOd is anxious that
the revision OF the constitution should be taken up
ilrst, so that The new laws tor Prussia may be e.
tabllshed without further delay.
