ries which divide Prussia from her western pro
vinces
Another question which remains still unsettled
IS TINT Of the continuance OF the Federal Diet 1t
appears that Prince Schwarzenburg las neglected
to make a clear statement OF his intentions on
that score; but the conditions at which he has
limited go far 10 establish his intention Of such
continuance. The entry OF all the Austrian
proyincesint0 the Germanic Confederation creates
according to the opinion OF the B eFn statesmenj
the right Of a free union lfrelc unu7tng,J and
this must be accompanied by national rep-esen
tation But Prince SchwarzenburE continues 70
oppose the project Of dissolution OF the Diet,
nor can he be brought to agree with Prussia
the question of the free conferences This,
then. is he real point of the dispute
Parliamentary representation, to which the
King Of Prussia stands pledged, Is impossible in

tria. The free conferences unless. indeed, the
King of Prussia were to prove orsworn} muslin
cessarily lead to a revival of the League, which
would in such case include the German prov
inces Of the Austrian Empire. However agreea-
bic such aresult would be to Prussia and herpetty
allies it is quite certain that no Austrian states
mancan ever consent to the tree conferences.
THIS ct least is the view which the supporters of
Baron Manteuffe take of tue case, and, conse-
quentlv, we are informed by IN occasional cor
respondent of the K5iHef Zcltnag that Baron
ManteuIel is resolved to submit an apolosetlc de-
Tense Of his policy to the Parliament, the meeting
Of which is looked forward to with considerable
interest and some fear
Both interest and fenr are still increased by the
news that Baron George nike has not only eX-
pressed his readiness TO enter the Parliament
which is now assembling, but that this clever and
reckless debater has actually been elected by the
CITY Of Aix-le- Chapele. The election came Oft
on the 18th inst and the Liberal candidate, NJ.
Justice Boiling, having withdrawn from the con
test in favor OF Baron Flnke, the latter was elect
ed by vast majority OF voters

The objections which Prince Schwarzenburg

TO anticipate the Parliamentary campaign by

the protest against the dissolution OF the League,

In conclusion of our account of the movements
and chances of the PrussIan Cabinet, we state, on
the authority of the k6iaer = itU9ig, that NJ. Fan
DER Hcydt the Minister OF Commerce, formerly
Jealous Protectionist, las, in late Cabinet Coun
ell. made formal sacrifice OF his financial plans
and opinions and that he has taken measures
which place this unexpected turn in the CONNER
cial policy Of Prussia beyond all kind OF doubt
The Prussian papers are still intent upon re-
cording the movements of the troops in the vart

continues to receive reinforeemeuts OF the line

marched to Luxembourg. The second class Land

the garrison of Cologne and DeutZ. The SHeslan
fortresses Of kose, Neisse, Silberberg, and

In return we have much the same news from

The information which We received from our
correspondent, of the conclusion OF an armlstlce
between the commanders of the Prussian and
Federal armies in Hesse Is still further confirmed
by the statements of the k0lner Zsltun9 whose
advices from Cassel are Of the 10th inst From
what we can gather from the German papers, 1t
anDears that this armisice must have been caused,
in the first instance, by movement in advance
which the Bayafian troops at Fulda attempted
upon Hersfeld But before this movement was
carried into execution, the Pfussian commander
received Instructions from Berlin to maintain his
position on the EtaPpe road under all cIreum,
