FREDERICK WILLIAM. "(Signed by the Ministers.) " Charlottenburg, 14th May, 1849." The ordonnance is preceded by a report from the Ministers to the KING, in which they endavour to establish that, the Assembly having persists d in its resolution to promulgate the constitution, without the consent of the Governments, no longer legally represents the German nation, and that, consequently, its mission is at an end. They add, that it cannot be hoped that the Assembly can co-operate effectually in the regulation of the affairs of Germany; and they declare that its resolutions on Prussian intervention in Saxony are most hostile to Prussia. The state of the insurgent town in the Rhine provinces and Westphalia has not changed. The barricades of Elberfeld, Hagen, and Iserlohn are being strengthened. The Kolner Zeitimg gives a list of Westphalian cities which have partly sent reinforcements to the insurgents at Hagen and Iserlohn, while others are being fortified against the military. We find among them the names of almost all the market towns of the Mark and the Sauerland. Iserlohn is held by 5,000 well-armed Westphalians, most of them capital shots with the rifle; the bridges many miles round the town have been destroyed, and the defiles of the mountains occupied by advanced detachments. The Prussian Government are concentrating a large army on the heath of Cameo to suppress the insurrection on the Rhine and in Westphalia. The rebellion against the royal authority spreads— most of the towns and communes in the district of Mark have revolted, and declared that they will support the Constitution. At Iserlohn on the 13th, the people resolved to defend the town to the last extremity, and it was strongly barricaded. The women and children were sent away. Armed assistance was immediately sent to the insurgents from Hagen, and 13 other communes. There were 5,000 combatants in the town, all well armed and well supplied with ammunition. For some leagues around Iserlohn all the roads and bridges were occupied by the insurgents. The communes of Essen and Atenessen have been declared in a state of siege. A deputation arrived at Dusseldorf, on the 13th instant, from Elberfeld, with an offer to capitulate if a general amnesty were granted, and the troops prohibited from entering the town. It does not appear that the Government at Dusseldorf agreed to the conditions.  The Gazette of Elherfeld says that tranquillity was restored in the town.  The municipality of Konigsberg summoned a municipal diet throughout the circle to consider what resolutions it were best to take in relation to the German question. The chief of the civil administration, after having approved this step, has just published an order forbidding the assembly in question, and declaring that the Konigsberg corporation is not competent to call together such a diet. The landwehr called out in Westphalia exhibit a spirit of insubordination which shows how little the Government can depend on this all-important force. At Paderborn one of the wehr-men made a speech reflecting on the illegal mode in which they had been summoned, by single men, and not in companies. The Major wanted to arrest him, but his comrades, applauded his speech, would not permit his spleen. They declared in a body they would himwho to higbhe touched, and the Major was forced to digestly not fire on the people, and they pledged themselves to stand by the German constitution. The royal ordinance of the 10th instant, creates everywhere the most profound disgust, particularly that article which enables every petty officer to play the tyrant in his district, by declaring it in a state of siege.  There is no doubt that RADOWITZ has been charged with the representation of the Prussian Government at the conference called together at Berlin to decide Übe German question. LERCEIENTELD has sent in his credentials as Plenipotentiary fur Bavaria, SruYE for Hanover, and BEUST for Saxony. BEUST is still at Dresden. Berlin is crowded at this moment with fugitive families out of Dresden. The most horrible stories are in circulation concerning the atrocious murders committed by the soldiery in the storm of the houses in the Alt- Stadt. The central &commissioner at Dresden, BRIEGLEA, received a telegraphic lispatch from Frankfort on the 12th inst., in consePence of which he sent in his resignation to the Central Government.
