PROSPECT or HIcI@ WATER.--The
accounts that have reached the city
for a day or two past are rather alar-
ming, indicating a great flood in the
Lower Missississippi. The Missouri,
the Upper Mississippi, the Ohio, the
Cumberland, Tennessee, Wabash and
Arkansas rivers are all reported to
be high and rising rapidly. 1t is said
that the Cumberland rose thirty feet
in three days. It our accounts are
correct, immense destruction must be
the result to the cotton lands. O

GERMANY.
End of the Melo-Drn,nn.

A sudden and unhoped for conclusion appears
to have been put to the German question by a
circular note of Lord Pamerston's declaring that
England will never consent to recognize the
Diet, aud strongly eXhorting all parties to peace.
In consequence of this, it is supposed. Manteuitel
dispatched message to Prince Schwarzenburg,
desiring to meet him at Odenburg, and the Prince
consented TO the interview at Olmutz. At that
conference it was decided that the Bundesag
troops should evacuate Hesse Cassel provided
those OF Prussia did the same.
The Berlin Correspondent of the Daily NemS
writes on the Sd instant:
The conferences at Olmutz have terminated in
result highly beneficial to the interests of Aus
tria in Germany and most grateful TO the feelings
of the Gar. The high hopes which were held out
last w edneSdaV, OF q solution OF the crisis bril-
liant and eminently honorable for Prussia, have
all been deceived The promises the Electorto
apply Tor the withdrawal of both the Prussan and
the Bundestag armies, have been broken the ap.
parent favor with which the secret negotiations
between Frankfort and Vienna were received has
turned out trickery the diplomacy OF Prussia has
to chronicle another defeat after having permitted
its victory to be trumpoted forth to the world ere
the decisive blow bad been struck. The debate
in the Second Chamber to-day, and the communi.
cations which have been made to the Committees
OF each, plainly show that the conferences at OF
mutt will be equally memorable in prussian his.
tory with those winch Baron Haugartz held with
Napoleon in the same city, in 1905, and which
produced the defeat of Austertz
The attitude which the majority OF the Chamber
has assumed is a threatening one for the Ministry.
The Semi Liberal fraction of the Committee on
the Address has withdrawn its draft and agreed
to discuss one proposed in the Chamber BY Baron
Nincke, of highly patriotic warike and Anti
Ministerial nature. The members of the Right
appear in doubt as to the course they ought to
pursue; and from observations which fell from
some Of the members, they woald seem to be
equally disinterested and indignant with the con.
cessions which have been made by Manteutel.
Let us now see what they are
First, of all, then, in the Hessian question the
former favorable arrangement has been entirely
set aside. The Elector returns to Cassel at the
bead Of an Austrian and Prussian battalion md
Immediately after his arrival the Austro Bayarian
army, under Prince Thurn and Taxis, will advance
in the same direction.
The CoastitttioHeile says Prince Sehwarzenberg
declared at Olnutz that the army of intervention
would not be provided with food in the Southern
parts of the Electorate, nor could il be withdrawn
and Manteuflel therefore consented to its passage
across the military roads now occupied by the

love for King and Fatherland Our relations to
foreign powers have born the stamp of friendship

Public Feeling In Bnynrin.

From Munich we learn that the martial enthu-
known that the Austrian occupation of Bavaria
entails an expense of 10000 forms per diem on
that Kingdom. The feelings of apprehension
which have thus been awakened are still further
strengthened by the news from Franconia, where
all the stores Of provisions have been consumed
by large masses of auxaries. The Austrian
troops viz the Vorarlberg corps or at least part
of them, now preparing to advance into the
interior of the country. Nordlingen has for some
tine past been the headquarters of the Archduke
Leopold and the k5lner letting, from which we
take these details, mentions the probability of
both Augsburg and Munich receiving garsons of

in the last few days, 1t was his opinion that the
draft OF an address which they had drawn up be-
fore was now insufficient and unsuitable to the
circumstances, The paper from which we quote
pretends to think that such declaration from
such man, and supported as 1t was by pecul-
lar and omlnous tone, sounded like terrible &C
cusatlOn and fatal threat. Baron Vnke, who
spoke after Bodeschwing, appeared i'll at ease,
ard unequal to the Importance of the moment.
lie managed, however, To give n lively and most
amusing account of the Inconsistencies Of ter
giversarions of the Ministerial policy, and TO con-
clude his speech with the words Away with this
Ceblnetf an expression of sentiment which
elected fair share of cheers and groans MIR.
Stehl, who in this question, for the first time in
bis life opposed the Government, is greatly COM
mended by the holner Zeitune, which continues
to characterize the speakers in the following
manner:
Baron Bismaek. as he usually does, dealt in
choice collection OF stale jokes by which he prov
ed for the huudredth time at least, that there is
not vestige OF moral purpose in the Quaker par
ty OF which be is the mouth-piece. There is but
one sentence OF this chivalrous apostle OF peace
which We think 1t worth while 10 quote. Baron
Blsmack was pleased to say that he would gladly
rush into battle ii his King and Chief were TO say,
" like that country, and desire to possess it"
The noble speaker, It appears, can sympathise
with low desire Of conquest, bnt he sneers at
the struggles OF nation which strives for unity
and power. Baron Manteuifel, who spoke three
or four times, did so with a trembling voice, and
bis CHASTITY paor and convulsed features made a
painful impression. He protested that be would
rather be exposed conica bullets (spitr kugelnJ
than to pointed phrases (Spitze Reden, but that
he remained in his Office at the Kings pleasure.
What lie said was insignificant (un6edcueHd) as
indeed, his speeches usually are. But, after ALL
he was the only Minister who seemed to under
stand the importance OF the crisis. n. Won der
Heidi sat with hatvacancy of countenance which
is stranger alike to spirit, will or feeling.
