DECEMBER 6.-The leading articles Of the papers
of this morning are all upon one subject The
Catholic Controversy. Meetings continue to be
held in almost every part Of the country, and, al.
though the bitter feeling towards the Pope has
doubleday subsidized, we think that towards the
Puseyte bishops and clergy is hourly increasing.
The latest from Berlin is dated the 9th instant.
The arrangements made at Olmutz had been con-
frmed by both courts. These arrangements are
now understood to be as follows Mutual interven-
a. -
Cassel with an Austrian and Russian battalion;
an Austrian and Prussian Commissary, to restore
and preserve order; the troops of the Bundestag
to pass the military roads the army Of the Duchies
of Schleswg and Holstein to be reduced to
one-third of its present force; no demand is made
upon Denmark Austrian and Prussian commissa-
ries to negotiate an armistice and an arrangement
If the Duchies refuse mutual Intervention, their
affairs are to be settled by free conference at
Dresden. AT the sitting Of the Berlin Chambers
on the morning Of the 4th, the Ministers were
called upon for information respecting the state of

An address to the Crown had been previously
presented to the Chamber by the committee ap-
pointed to prepare it. In this address it was stated
that I" the Prussian people preferred an honorable
peace to the dangers and chances of war. It
views with pride its admirable army, and is ready
to follow its King into war, if the honor of the
country requires it." After Count MANTEurFEL's
speech, Baron VINcKE said that the representa-
tions and statements Of the Minister were not
: tisfactory," and he considered the proposed ad-
dress to the Crown as being much too tame and
not corresponding to the position and dignity Of the
Chamber. He then proposed warlike and highly
Ministerial address, which was received by the
Chamber with buzz of appreciation. This adj
dress would be discussed on the evening Of the 4th
but as the Chambers would be, at the end Of that
sitting, adjourned to the Sd Of January it was not
considered that the arrangement made at Olmutz
for the preservation Of peace would be endangered.
The tone Of the debate shows, however, the war
like spirit prevalent in Prussia which may vet give
trouble and endanger peace.
