PRUSSIA, AUG. 27.—The cue of Szoldreki came on to-day. The accused admitted his accession to the association, but refused to criminate otherl. Wladimir Hertholomaeus von Wilczynski was next placed at the bar. It is reported that M. von Thile, cabinet minister, intends to retire on amount of his advanced years. All impression prevails that M. von Bodelschwingh will resign the portfolio of the interior, and, retaining simply the character of cabinet minister, exercise a general supervision of all administrative departments. The Breslau journals intimate that the circulation of radical pamphlets from Switzerland by some unknown agency, which has been carried on to a great extent in Konigsburg, had begun there also. It is remarked that the parties engaged in it appear to power an intimate knowledge of persons and localities. Many of the pamphlets have been sent under cover to parties in the country, as well as to townsmen. _ _ _  Now that the Journal des Debate has spoken, and afforded a text for comment, the Austrian-Papal question promises to be a fruitful source of discussion in the French journals. The Conetilutionnel of Tuesday embraces with ardour the cause of the Pupe, in a long reply to the remarks of the Dataa of the previous day. The onslaught upon England for the favour, with which it regards Rome is thus dealt with by the Cmatiluliannel:  As to the English, they are now, in the columns of the Journal den Wats itself. the enemies of our government ; and the amenities with which it notices the marks of adhe. sion which the Pope and the Italians find in Great Britain may be Judged from its sarcastic observe. lions. The steps which we have made since the rupture of the English alliance have borne in Spain glorious fruit. On one hand, planed at the tail of Austria, we have already abandoned the independence of Poland, taken at the tribune the defence of the cutthroats of Gillian, encouraged at once jesuitism, anarchy, and revolt in Switzerland, and excited the just distrust of Italian patrio• Sam and of the Pope himself. On the other hand, instead of protecting liberty in the world in concert with England, and of hastening by this alliance, rightly understood, the development of civilisation, our ministenal journal directs bitter sarcasms against the English nation, even on the octagon of the honourable manifestations of the Protestant press  of England in favour of the venerated chief of the enthOlka, who has become for hie 'tete+ the apostle of liberty ! A new step in the Praslin affair has given fresh secasion for those secondary symptoms of excitement which occasionally arise in a topic of public discussion the novelty of which is wearing off. On Monday the chancellor delivered his report to the court of peers, together with the results of different deposhims and post mortem examinations ; the first verbally, and the second in a printed form. The phydims Orfila and Tardieu pronounce, in reference to the dake's suicide, that "it is by no means necessary, in explanation of his tardy death, to suppose the swallowing of a second does of poison a long time after the first. Were it essential, we could, they add, "cite a great number of instances in which persons poisoned by arsenic acid have perished some days after sickness has ceased, although they have not taken a fresh dose? This is calculated to counteract the censure visited on the authorities when it was supposed that access to poison had been afforded the wretched culprit while in the Luxembourg prison. We read in the Debate:  Marshal Sebastiazu determined to return to Paris in spite of the efforts of his Franddaughter, who tried to dismade him from it. He wished, he said, to see what remained of his only child. He canoed the apartment of the unfortunate duchess to be opened, and he examined the scene of the crime which tore from him his well-beloved daughter. On the inspection being terminated, the marshal exclaimed " There is one still more to be pitied than I em—the mether of the assassin!" He immediately visited the Dowager Duchess de Choisenl-Praslin, and that was the only time that he has quitted his hotel since his arrival.  Preparations for war form the chief item of news from Rome. An artillery captain, named Lopez, has been sent to France to purchase ten thousand muskets : and ten thousand hands are already held oat to receive them, that number of young volunteers having offered themselves to resist an invasion. Meanwhile, the Roman government steadily continues to arm the civic guard, for which purpose citizens from all parts of the states offer it arms. Signor Azeglio is on the point of starting for L Romagna, charged with full powers on the part of the Pope to organise resistance in case of necessity. According to a letter in the Semaphore de Marmilks : . . _  The enthusiasm is at a great height in Rome, and within the last few days Cardinal Ferretti, on seeing the national guard manmurre near the country house of the Prince de Piombino, cried that "he would willingly march at the head of the brave young men, and that he would not hesitate to command them on the field of battle." The spirit of pattiotism and of energy which animates the holy father and his principal councillors has extended itself not only among the people, but even to the hearts of the ecchteiasties. The early organiwition of a battalion of prices and monks is spoken of, and it is certain I that a great number of member* of the religious orders exercise themselves in the practice of arms. The Pope rides about the city on a white mule, which he bought at Florence, and shows to ►is loyal and faithful subjects a (Ace beaming with the claim of a good conscience, and the profound sentiment of his rights and his strength. We are assured that ?d. Reed, having offered him his mediation on the subject of the affair of Ferrara, he replied that, considering himself seriously offended, he would not be contented with an ordi. eery arrangement, and that he intended to exact complete matisfeetioa. The Semaphore gives no date to the above, but the Sod quotes a letter from Rome of the 23rd, which states that the Austrian. were still at Ferrara.  The Swiss Diet came on the 27th to a decision with respect to the federal officers who are connected by service with the Sonderband. Twelve states and two half states voted for the proposition of the Dinotory for striking ont of the lists of the federal staff all the officers of whatever rank who may hold service ander the Sonderbund ; and eight states and two half states voted against it. The debate which preceded the vote wee very animated.
