GERMANY.  THE FRANKFORT ASSEMBLY TAKES PART AGAINST THE KING OF PRUSSIA. The Assembly at Frankfort was occupied on the 14th with two meet important subjects ; the firit being with regard to the murder of Ro. beet Blum, and the second with regard to the state of matters at Berlin. On the latter subject the Assembly came to a most impor., tent decision. A committee having been mined to report on the state of affairs in Prussia, the majority proposed the following motion, which wee adopted by the Assembly : " The National Assembly agreeing with the met. sores taken by the ministry of the empire, declares that it is necessary—first, to engage the Prussian mi. nistry to revoke the order for transferring the Ne. tional Assembly to Brandenburg as soon as measure, shall have been taken to guarantee the dignity end liberty of its deliberations at Berlin ; secondly, that the crown of Prussia should surround itself as soon SA possible with a ministry possessing the confidence of the country and fit to remove all fear on the subject of reactionary tendencies and the infringements of the liberty of the pepple." This motion was signed by the following majority of the commission : Jordan of Marhurg, iehar4 '4ergenhahn, Jordan of Berlin, Schwartz, Her  _ oeowariz, Ham, von Saucken, l'eur of Augsburg, Lontael Falk, Wiedenmann, and Von Haunter of Dinkelsbohl. sfhe motion of the minority, which was not adopted, was in substance the same as the one abovementioned, but expressed in stronger terms. On the subject of Robert Blum, M. Simon, of Trews put a question to the ministry as to whether they had intelligence of his having been shut. 11. Mohl, Minister of Justice, declared that he had no official intelligence of the fact, but he en. flounced that two members of the Assembly were about to leave Frankfurt on that day c for Vienna to protect their colleagues in thatapital. At the close of the proceedings an urgent motion was announced by Simon of Treves, viz., e in consideration that three separate letters had arrived from Vienna, detailing the fate of Robert Blum; lad in maideration that, according to the lute enacted on the 10th oJober, for the protection of the Assembly, the execution of Blum bee.,mes murder, the National Assembly is called upon to deliberate at once upon measures that shall ensure the pun. ishment of the murderers." Mehl, the Minister of Justice, immediately stated that the envo3s of the ministry had started at 2 p.m., for Vienna ; that they had instructions to demand the surrender of all papers and correspondence referring to Blum's affair; and to send these, together with a full statement of all relative particulars forthwith to Frankfort. Till then, he thought, matters must stand as they were. The urgency of Simen's motion wu nel,atived, and it was referred to the committee for Austrian affairs. The house adjourned at 3 p.m. The execution of Blum was the general topic of conversation in Frankfort on the 14th. 'file names of the members sent to Vienna are Bauer, of Aug.. burg, and Pool, of Munich. A large fraction of the left and left centre had, on the evening of the 14th, resolved to send a deputation to the imperial Minister of Justice, requesting the additional despatch of an Austrian member on the same mission, one who is altogether of a more resolute character, and better acquainted with the affairs of Vienna. I'ItUSSIA.—We have accounts from Berlin to the evening of the 14th. The National Assembly, hay. lag been expelled from the Schiltzen Haus m. t on the 14th in the Town Hall, Unruh presiding. Proposals for accusing the government and military authorities of having violated still farther the rights of the Chamber, were made and referred to committees. The time allowed to the burgher guard to surrender their arms expired at sunset ; but 500 stand had been given up. A heavy fall of snow on the evening of the 14th, rendered the sfreets very uncomfortable for the troops.
