The European mails, with advices of consid-
cradle Importance to the 30th ut. left Boston
at halfpast two o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
arrived in this city between eleven and twelve
o'clock last night
The news is warlike The London Shipping
Gazette, of Friday afternoon, November 80, has
the following announcement:
The intelligence from the continent is again
of warlike character The cabinets of Berlin
and Vienna are now stated to have arrived at a

THE GERMANIC DIFFICULTIES
From Frankfort, of date the 10Th inst, we
learn that another corps of Prussan reserves
was announced ut Cassel on the 18th. The
corps of Gen. Groeben had received reinforce.
Inents it had advanced to Burghhaun, on the
Fulda road. The federal army of ., 900 men,
is still in and around Fulda Having consumed
| the substance of the districts they occupy,
hunger will soon compel them either to advance
or retreat. The remainder of the corps in Vo.
rarlberg are now marching upon Bamberg Gen.
Gumbenburg had left Augsburg for the arm in
Hesse. He is appointed to the command Of
division The Archduke Leopold has passed
Augsburg on his way to Donauworth. The
Prince Charles of Bavaria has been appointed to
the chief command of the Bavarian army.
| Letters Of the 22d state that no movements
had taken place amongst Prussian and federal
troops in Hesse.
| Further advices from Frankfort and Cassel, Of
the oath inst, state that impression prevailed
amongst the Frankfort dipiomatists that Prussia
would decide on Il national war. A summons
| has consequently been sent to Munich and Slut
gard, requiring the greatest despatch in the dis
location Of troops. Unauthorized encounters
have taken place at Frankfort between the Prus-
sian and federal troops 1t was stated that the
agents for Luxembourg and Limburg had been
withdrawn from the Federal Diet On their
leaving Carlsruhe, the authorities of that city Of
ticially thanked the Prussian troops for their
protection. This was done by means of an ad-
dress to General Schreckenstein. The federal
commissioner, Count Rechberg, has decreed and
executed the torcible dissolution of the Upper
Courts of Fulda and Hanau. Count Irhun, the
Austrian agent, has proceeded secretly by night
and in great haste to Wilhemsbad and Darn
stadt. No movements of troops have taken
place in Hesse.
We learn by advices from Frankfort, of the
Odd inst, that another Austrian division had nd
vanced from the Vorarberg into Bavaria, and
proceeded to Bargau and Gunzburg. Prussian
troops had occupied Wiesbaden and other parts
of the Duchy of Nassau. A fall of from to 3
per cent was observable In the value of Aus
TRAN paper on the Frankfort Exchange. The
armies in Hesse remained in their former posi-
/ tons.
Our correspondents letters are of the Goth
inst. The Federal army in Hesse is suffering
from the want Of provisions. Their commander,
Prince Taxis, has informed the Prussian CON
mandcr that the Federal troops will be compel
led to advance. The reply Of General Groeben
has been that the troops under his command
would not fall back, under any circumstances.
In consequence of this reply, no change had
taken place in the relative position of the two
armies. On the request of the Federal Con :
have promised to accelerate the movements of
their troops. A Prussian field post-office has
been esab shed at Wiesbaden.
The late negotiations have had no effect, but
the rumor of the Austrian envoy demanding his
passports is incorrect. The Upper House of
| Assembly is inclined to peace, and the Lower
is moderately disposed. The order for the sci
zure Of the journal Constitutional will, probab
Iy, be recalled. That paper had discontinued
its attacks on the government. The feeling in
the army and Landwrhr, that the Prussian course
is that of liberty against despotism grows strong
er. On the 18th INST, the disturbances at Frank
fort, between the Prussians and Bavarians, were
renewed. Strong patrols paraded the streets
A new conference under the auspices and ut
the nstgaton of Russia, was spoken Of with
view to the maintenance of peace. Both at
Frankfort and Hamburg, the funds were much
lower.
Private letters from Germany report, that in
several of the corn markets prices We're rising
owing to the immensely increasing demands to
supply the large masses of troops now In move
ment.
DENMARK AND THE DCCHIEs.
The fortress Of Rendsburg was being provi-
stoned for three months.
| PRUSSIA, AUSTRIA, AND RUSSIA.
, The Prussian Parliament was opened on the
2lst, by the King. The royal speech is to the
following effect
Ny intention to create Constitution which
shall answer to the wants of the German nation
has hitherto failed. In my hopes Of the future,
| have chung to the idea which pervades my en-
deavors. But cannot resume its realization on
new foundation, until after the decision respect
ing the new formation of the German Confed-
Grafton. | hope that the negotiations on this
subject will soon come to n prosperous end ]
! hope that our armaments will suffice to protect
our rights. IF this point can be gained, that
armament has no danger for the tranquility Of
Europe. For my people are rot only strong,
but also consi lerate We seek not war. We
seek not to infringe the rights Of anybody
but our endeavors tend to effect an arrangement
Of the common fatherland which shall be suit
able to the condition of Prussia.
The royal speech has caused the greatest cx-
element. 1t is thought to be favorable to the
war party.
Prussia has promised to support the Bruins
wick protest against the passage OF the federal
troops. The ministerial journals appeal to the
Parliament entreatiup them not to PREJUDICE the
