PRUSSIA. The Frankfort deputation arrived at Berlin at 5 P.m. on the 2d inst. They were received at the station by the deputations from the two Chambers of the Town Council, and were conducted in procession to the Hotel prepared for their reception on the Linden.  .--RUSSIA The following is the text of the circular of the Russian Government to its foreign agents, on the entrance of its troops into Transylvania : " The news of the entrance of our troops into TranSylvania being likely to give rise to false intepretations, we send you some explanations on the matter. It is notorious that great cruelties were committed in Transylvania by the Hungarian insurgents, who, headed by the Polish refugee Bern, have been recently repulsed by the Austrian army. The terror which, in consequence of such revolting excesses, was occasioned in the environs of Hermannstadt and Cronstadt, and the temporary absence of military forces, which rendered the Austrian generals unable to defend from pillage those towns (placed as it were before the eyes of our advanced posts), caused the inhabitants to invelto through the authorities the assistance of the general in chief of our troops. The Austrian Generals on their part had, for the same reasons, expressed a desire to ascertain to what extent they could calculate if necessary on support from us. General Luders, who referred the matter to the Emperor, received, by order of his Majesty, the reply, that in case the towns of Rermannstadt and Cronstadt should be seriously threatened by an invasion of the Hungarian insurgents, at a time at which the Austrian Government should not possess the means of protecting them against such great disorder, he was authorised to send a sufficient force into these two towns ; that, however, he ought to do that iu the event of inevitable necessity, and only on the express demand of the Austrian military authorities. When, after, the granting of this authorization, the danger of the towns became more imminent, in consequence of an advantage obtained by the insurgents at Mediafels, and when the inhabitants had renewed their earnest prayers to our General, with an invitation in due form from the Austrian Generals Puchner and Schurter, General Luders did not think right to leave long unaccomplished wishes so expressed. He consequently caused the two towns to be occupied by detachments of troops, the effective of which had been previously indicated by the Austrian Generals. The inhabitants, especially the Germans, who justly feared the barbarous cruelty of the Szeklers, saluted the arrival of these troops with the liveliest marks of joy. Our soldiers were received with open arms, the population went out to meet them, and gave them bread and salt; and a number of German and Wallachian families, who had been preparing to cross the frontier, abandoned their intention as soon as they saw that their lives and properties were assured. Such are the facts in all their simple truth; they prove that the Emperor, in authnrising the entrance of some troops into Transylvania, was only influenced by motives of humanity, and that the matter was exclusively local, without any sort of connexion with armed intervention in the interior affairs of the empire of Austria. This empire has gloriously and recently proved by the energy with which it has crushed four successive insurrections that it is too powerful to require our material assistance in Transylvania. Austria is already victorious in Hungary, and the insurrectional domination will soon be at an end. Even if Bern, owing to the insufficiency of the Austrian forces, had succeeded in taking Hermannstadt and Cronstadt, that would not have saved the insurrection from the coniplliete defeat which awaits it. But, however brief such an occupation might have been, it would have sufficed to give up those two flourishing towns to pillage and murder, and it was this misfortune that, in accordance with the Austrian authorities, we were desirous to prevent. Such was the object of the entrance of our troops; it must consequently be well understood that their presence will be only temporary. Already indeed lasso our generals received orders to recross the frontier as soon as the dangers which threatened the country shall have ceased to exist."
