siege is of considerable importance inasmuch az
It shows increased confidence on the part Of
the CABINET In Its present position. The course of
policy followed by the latter In the recent rrvOIu-
tonary movements, was one extremely ,zardous;
the intervention 1t had undertaken in the German
States tor the suppression of revolution in the then
existing state OF things, against the remonstrances
OF the whole German nation, and in direct 0pposi-
ton even to the will and opinion Of the great ma
Jonty OF the RUSSIAN people, was connected with
the greatest risk and danger. One victory gained
over the Prusslan troops in Western Germany, aud
all the enemies Of Prussia would have turned
against II. The position of the Prussisn cabinet
would have become untenable, and Its inau-
ence in Germany lost, The complete success OF
the Prussian intervention. however, has turned
matters very differently. With the surrender Of
Rastadt, the conquest OF Baden, is completed, and
recurrence Of political disturbances in the Prussisn
capital are dlspelled and the state of siege In the
latter Is raised This is the natural course Of
things But the Prussian cabinet has Of late
spired It with a greater degree of confidence. The
result OF the elections for the second Chamber has
been decidedly favorable one for the govern
ment. The deputies who were returned, nearly
all incline towards the ultra conservative par
ty.. 1t cannot be doubted that the government
will receive the strongest support from the Cham
Der, which Is to meet again on the 7th OF next
month and what, under other circumstances,
would have been an impossibllity, which the Bran
denburg ministry itself would have never ventured
TO dream of-that il should actually command re-
spectacle majority IN the chamber-wlll this time
be the case, IN consequence of the passlvlty OBJ
served by the radical party at the recent elections
The democrats, In counting upon the delicate feel
lpgs OF the government, which they would wound
by abstalning from the poll, have evidently made
mistake. Their passive resistance has, on the
contrary. afforded the Brandenburg ministry inf
mite satisfaction; II will enable il, tor the frat
time, to govern in constitutional manner, whilst
every protest they will enter against the acts OF the
government will be unconstitutional Within the last
few days, modification in the cabinet has taken
place, by the appointment Of Mr.: Won Schleinitz,
formerly representative OF he P!ussian govern
OF Mr.: Won Buow, who had previously conducted
that department. Mr.. Won Schlelniz, who had
been commissioned by the Prussian government
its agent in the negotiations with Denmark just
brought to a conclusion here, has been rewarded
for his assistance in bringing about settlement,
with this post. His entrance into the cabinet, at
the present moment, is regarded as indicating a
change OF policy on the part Of the government.
with regard to the union question now at issue be-
tween Prussia and the other States of Germany.
The new minister OF foreign affairs is known to BE-
promulgated by Prussia, Saxony, and Hanover,
and II is believed that the government, Of late, has
become more inclined towards making concessions
to the States who are willing to join the Prussiaa
league. The reluctance shown by the smaller
States to declare their adhesion to the consti-
tuition, and the Vaccinations OF Austria and Bava-
ria, may have tended to convince the Prussian Ca
bnet that, 10 obtain the supremacy in Germany, it
agreement
am informed on good authority that of late N
overture has been made On the part Of Austria To
the government here, for the purpose of coming to
some accommodation with respect to the future
position Of the two powers in Germany, and that
the former has declared itself willing recognizes
Prussia as the head of separate league or confe-
Iteration in Germany, if il WILL on the other hand,
recognise Austria the position the latter held
the old German confederation. The situation Of
Austria, since 1t 10 becoming more and more I'm
probable that il can succeed even with the ASSIST
ancs Of Russia, In subduing Hungary, viii be
most crit. cal one, if its relations to Germany arc
not be settled soon To the mediation Of Germany
il will at last have TO look in its quarrel with Hum
gary, and for its deliverance out Of the grasp Of
Prussia.
According TO the latest accounts from Hungary.

10000 men near Szonok, on the Thesis, IN the
