Bextin, November 27, 1849. Important Intelligence—Threatened Rupture Between us tria and Prussia—The German Confederation, $c. The quarrel between Austria and Prussia, on the question of the German Union, which long threat- ened to involve Germany in a war, may be said to have now arrived at a point when it must be either epsedily settled, or followed bya total rupture between the two great powerr, Although an agreement between the fame, with regard to the establishment of a government for the old Germante confederation, has been come to, Austria refuses to consent to the formation of a more intimate union of the States, under the headship of Prus- sia, within that confederation, while the latter persists in her reselution to establish the union and convoke a German parliament; and within the last few days, the Council of Confederation here bas formally summoned the governments of the different German States to cause the elections for the Reichstag, which, it has finally been agreed upon, is to meet at Erfurt, to take place on the 31st of January next. An Austrian note has again been received by the government here, con- taining fresh remonstrances against the convocation of the parliament; and though the reports which have been spread, of an armed intervention, threatened on the part of Austria, are unfounded, and no such formal declaration has been made by the latter, in the said note, it is, nevertheless, generally understood that the cabinet of Vienna is prepared to make the questiona casus belli, if, in the end, it prove impossible to settle it otherwise, Hitherto, Austria has merely employed diplomatic means for the purpose of frustrating the projected Prussian confederation; and the separation of Saxony and Hanover from the union, records a suo- cesetul eflect of her diplomatic operations, But, in case Pruseia should continue her efforts in behalf of the union, and the elections for the Reichstag really take Place, which is not yet certain, it now seems to be be- youd doubt that Austria will adopt the decided course she resolved upon in concentrating her armies in Bo- hemia and Vorarlberg, ond that Pruesia will have to abandon the project of the union, in despite of the | elections for the parliament being actually decreed. It remains now to be seen whether the governments of those States which still adhere to Prussia, will obey the summons of the Council of Confederation, and cause the elections to take place in pursuance of the rame. In the event of Austria assumieg a more hostile atti- tude towards the cabinet here, it is generally believed that the latter, rather than go to the length of @ war, will give up the plan of the confederation, and content iteelf with the incorporation of several of the minor States. Although it is impossible to foresee what the oral rights we hed exercised since the days of Uharles J., with the consent of the native inhabitants, over those inhabitan's and our own settlers, We call our abs that territory, at that date. g cotsions affected to be made by Spain, by way of equi. “valent, were il! a, amounted to nothing bat 11 other a had to lopg made good on the the impression sought to be convey- order to make it appear that obtained a quit pro quo for what bando: ‘pore the Times quotes only part of the first y, and stops at “the territory gaavt- | ed by his Catholic Majesty to the English,”’—granted | ene gh ca gree to set forth) “for fied in the ‘d article of the presas which uses simply consisted In cutting wood, as the English had done for more than a century, aw ‘ed the rights of self-protection, and natives, which they had hitherto nothing, before, to the ty, in short, conferred which we had othing but gross negligence in our diplomacy) ver, to observe is, that— 0 territorial rights by t ded none to Spain.

A committee has already been formed here, by the conservative party, for the purpose of organizing « plan of operations by the latter, at the approaching elections for the Reichstag; and similar committees are about to be formed in other cities. Preparations are already be- ing made at Exfart, for the accommodation of the new Parliament; and, according to the custom of the day,a church is being fitted up as the place of meeting for the rame. ‘The exeitemont with which the trial of Waldeck which is to come on to-morrow, bad been looked for- ward to, has much abated since it is known that nei- ther the government mor the democratic party will at- tempts demonstation which may be likely to ocea- sion a conflict.

A great part of the latter are taid to be willing to accede to the proposals of Austria; and the whole pl of & commercial union bas of late deen taken with so much vigor. on the it of the Austrian government, that, although the difficuities io the way of carrying out the rame are of @ vast nature, the latter seem to be determined, by means of agra- | dual reduction and equalization of duties, to realize the object it has in view, It may be difficult at the present moment to say whether this step on the part of Aur- tria, will prove to be more important as « political or financial measure, as it seems to be equally calouiated to premote ber commercial interests, and increase her weight and influence in Germany. A committee bas appointed by the Austrian government to prepare the dratt ef s new tariff for the whole empire, and it is now stated that the rame is already completed and ready to be laid before the cebinet, to receive the ultl- mate sanction of the government. Several ordinances of the latter bave already appeared, establishing uni- form regulations for the whole of Austria, in regard to tome brancher of commercial intercourse, according to the now exitting laws in Germany.

And no sooner is it felt, than means are taken to supply it. Manicipal in- stitutions are ereated with the business like despatch which characterizes all the proceedings of a Yankee emigration, and the gold coast of the Pacific becomes, without further ceremony, the seat of the youngest and most precocious of the States of the Union. It cannot be uninteresting for us, out of whose loins sprung the great nation which is rapidly peopling the western hemisphere, to see how nimbly our grandchil- dren dispose of # difficulty which bas given our own statesmen such a vast deal of umprofitabis trouble. To found such institutions as their settlement requires, is to these bappy Californians the simplest thing in the world. The ‘settlers choose delegates; the delegates meet, and call themselves a convention; @ constitution is sketched and agreed upon; two chambers, with a Governor, and the regular administrative staif, to which they have been accustomed at home—these are the simple outlines. Some detaiis, deemed igportaat enough te find a place in the first draft, are filled up; the country is parcelled out into districts, and the thing is done. Hous tout. Nobody interferes to allow or disallow, toranction or annul, the pro- cecdings of the colonists. The whole ailair is perfectly spontaneous. An American emigration carries along with it the seeds of its national institutions, which be- gin to germinate as soon as ever it has found a perma- nent resting-place in a new soil. Now, we do not wish to draw invidious cemparisons, nor do we overlook the | fact, that the pastoral and agricultural colonies of Great Britain do not ripen into maturity im one or two years, like the swarming population which has been at- tracted to the “far West” by the scent of the great Califcrnian gold mines. But whilst our colonies in the remotest corners of the earth are calling loudly and impatiently for leave to enjoy that free and popular form of government which is the birth- right of Englishmen—whilst Lord Grey and Mr. Merivale are biting their pens, and devising ali sorts of impossible constitutions, as substitutes for thore which have been already returned upon their hands—whilst the recollection of the imaginary bills for the relief of the Australian colonies, which used to figure on the notice paper last session. is still fresh in cur mninds—we cannot help contrasting all this ferment, irritation, and diseatisfaction—this waste of official | bor and perversion of official ingenuity—with the sho fpeedy, and facile solution which this random assem blage cf “loafers” from New York, and reckless ad: turers from the Mississippi Valley, bave found, when left entirely to themselves, for the problem that dis- tresses the Parliament and government of England. ‘The Californians have not leisure to build houses, or to provide themselves with the comforts, or what are deemed elsewhere the necessaries, of existence. ‘They sleep under a tree, eat their curry (when they can at- ford it) ata Chinese restaurateur’s; and, too busy to “wash at home,” receive thelr supplies of clean linen from Hawaii and Canton. But they are not so busy to do without a government, or, rather, they are t busy to dispense with one, and they have found ample leisure to construct one accordingly. Were we writing for American readers, we should robably think it right to entertain them with as glow. bs & picture as we could paint of the future fortunes of the new State, winding up with a glorification of the outhful but gigantic republic which hae now planted her foot firmly upon the distant shores of the Pacific. The young eommuuity has indeed grown with unex- ampled rapidity.

But California bas overieaped the cbrysalis stage, ond is aircady entitled te admission on equal terms with the other members of the federal common- wealth. Nor should we omit to notice the good feeling which appears to reign between the two races that form the staple of the motley population. As a proof of this, we find that the native Mexicans in the convention bear their full proportion to the number of inbabitants of Spanish descent, and that, in several localities, the Spanich candidate was elected by the unanimous suf- frages of the American residents, be fairly suspected, that a the diggers of Vaakee extraction an honor which interfered so seriously with business, was not very ardently desired But the thoughts of most Englishmen will probably take & somewhat different direction.

Turkey, THE SPEECH OF KOSSUTH TO THE REFUGERS WIDDIN. ‘The National Zeitung publishes the following trans- av | lation of the speech which M. Kossuth addressed to the Hungarian refugees on the occasion of their departure from Widdin:— “Gentlemen—I em happy to be the bearer of the greetings and blessings of the good and glorious Sultan. (Cheers) A mesnenger from the great monarch ar- rived here yesterday, bringing thejoyful news that the Sultan has Fesolved not to listen to Austria aud Russia's demands for our surrender. (Groans.) No, the Saltan has sworn by the Prophet that he will protect us at any hazard, even @t the risk of the overthrow of his empire. (Cheers) Gentemen, it is now certaia that we are to leave Widdin. The war for whieh we yearn—that war which alone can liberate our poor country—the war which hitherto was doubt- tul— it is now certain. The question of that war, of its outbreak, I say, is now but # question of time, and its commencement will be determined by Fuad E:ffendi, for ruch is the object of his mission to St. Peters: burgh = My brethren! the sun bas not yet set! there are still seme rays of light! nobler part remaing still for us.

But do not fear, my brethren, that we stand alone—ss we did; that we are disowned — as we were. No, indeed. We are held up by Tur- key, by England, and by France. Public opinion in England, in the Pariisment and without, has, indeed, for the moment become doubtful of us. But why? Because some of us bave adopted the Ma- hometan faith. But what these men did fods some ex- cute in the prevailing desire to make proselytes; and, berides, whatever they did they didas inen, uotas Han- gariane, Asmen they will baveto bear the conse- quences, and not enly they, but also certain people in this city of Widdin who urged them to this step.
