Radowitz is preparing to present the Ambassadors
Of Russia England, and France, with declaration
respecting the treaty of pacihcation for Scheswig
and Holstein.
The late Journey Of the Prince OF Prussia in vari-
Gus parts of the Grand Duchy of Baden has given
occasion 10 variety Of speculations respecting the
intentions of Prussia, and certain remarks which
the Prince made at Mannheim rather ostenta.
tiously quoted by part OF the German press from
which we reprint them. On the Prince expressing
hope that the commerce and industry of Baden
would soon regain their pristine ascendency, he
was told by member of the Chamber of Commerce
that nothing would serve 50 much to promote that
wished for contingency as solution Of the ques-
tons now pending in Germany. To this the Prince
replied, ''wth sorrow, but with manly resolution"
that peaceable solution of these questions
thing which could not be thought Of at this crisis:
call the means for that purpose were exhausted.
The King of Prussia" he added, chad already
yielded to the Austrian claims TO such extent

the press; but the King had done SO because he
wished, II extreme measures must be resorted to,
to draw his sword with the consoling conviction
that he had done his utmost for the preservation Of
peace"

MADRID, October I.
The entire ministry which, since its formation,
has been thoroughly compact and unanimous on
all subjects, is placed in critical position not
through any difference on principle, "a matter OF
perfect indifference in this country,) but, what is
worse, and more difficult to arrange, on affair
exclusively personal, which has offended the pride
and wounded the self love of the President of the
Council. Previous TO the levee at the palace the
4th of this month, General Serranu, who had
| not received invitation to the last Court ball,
waited the Duke of Valencia, and informed
him that, IN consequence OF that sight, he should
fear to receive an affront should he attend the
! levee. The Duke replied that all was arranged,
and that he insisted, as Captain General, that Gen
Serrano should present himself at Court. General
Serrano made his appearance al the ceremony, but
when, according to etiquette, he knelt to kiss the
| Queen hand her Majesty turned aside her head
| and gave manifest signs of displeasure, and when
| the general passed before the King to repeat
| the same ceremony his majesty withdrew his hand
and murmured a disdainfu epithct, which some Of
the lords in waiting pretended to have heard, and
that the words uttered were "Equitats; que es tor
| bas." (''Withdraw; you are one too many.'') 1t
! ia said that the Duke of Valencia who present
at this scandalous scene, incensed at what had
passed, Immediately quilted his position near the
| queen, and withdrew from the throne-room; but
this is not the fact. The duke, although extreme
ly irrtated, remained until the conclusion OF the
ceremony. This event was Immediately whispered
throughout Madrid, and became the subject Of eve
| ry conversation and OF numerous conjectures. 1t
| is asserted that the Duke of Valencia determined
instantly TO resign in consequence of the affront
which, although offered to General Serrano, affect
ed the chief of the cabinet, inasmuch he had add
vised General Scrrano TO present himself at court
| His colleagues finally succeeded in tranquilizng
| him, by reminding him that, all the ministers
were so completely united, he ought TO wait the
return to Madrid Of the Count de st. Louis, Min
| lister OF the Interior.
| MADRID, Oct 5.
1t is stated publicly as absolute fact, that Gen
eral Serrano, exasperated at the treatment which
he received at the palace the 4h of this month,
| and being determined TO obtain full and complete
| satisfaction for the affront, of which he the
object, wrote a letter yesterday 10 General Mar
vaez in which he declared that, having presented
himself at the levee contrary to his Previnns inten
ton ana solely through difference 10 the adVlce OF
| General Narvacz, and on the assurance that he
would be well received he would regard the conduct
I of General Narvaez a snare laid for him unless
the general should resign, or unless he, Serrano,
should be appointed inspector general of cavalry,
which place had been promised 10 him, and of
\ which he assured his appearance at court was
the necessary preliminary. Theletter concluded by
| giving General Narvaoz only "a hours TO comply
| with either Of the conditions proposed, other
| wise satisfaction by arms. Ii Is said that this re-
port has been circulated by order Of General Mar
| yacz II only remains for the Duke of Valencia 10
resign, or to force the King to yield for duel is
out OF the question, as such proceeding, lar from
| iustifying General Narvaez, would throw a doubt
! on his conduct Thus the Ministerial crisis re-
| mains in full force
A Cabinet Council would have been held to-day
but for the indisposition Of NJ Pidal, who is con-
| fined TO his bed by a severe cold.
