PRUSSIA AND AUSTRIA.-Prussia has forwarded a circular despatch to the minor German States, laying stress ugon the inefficiency of the appeal to the Federal Diet to settle the present conflict. The despatch further poiu ts oaf tho necessity of the various States biking up a dormite position on one side or the other in, the struggle ?which the armaments of Austria seem to render more and more imminent. The despatch accuses Austria of haring violated the Convention of Gastem and assumed a threatening attitude.' It expresses doubts as to the power of tho Confederate States to carry out their good intentions towards Prussia, in the relative state '.^jf the Federal military organization, and points out the necessity which has arisen for introducing reform a. the present system. The despatcli concludes as follows: "It is urgent for Prussia to know if, and to what extent, shu may rely upon your assistance in case she should be. attacked by Austria, or forced into war by unmistakeable menaces." The Berlin journals represent that the Austrian armaments and prepara tions are very extensive, and some of them admit that, in view of the Aus? trian preparations, orders may havo been given by Prussia to make such preparations as may be indispensable. Vienna advices assert that Austria has determined to put an end to the provisional state of affairs in the Duchies, and, if necessary, will pro? pose that the question be referred to a European congress. The Independence Beige, of the 20th, publishes intelligence from Weimar, according to which the King of Prus? sia gave his consent, on the 26th, to certain military arrangements which, although only of a preliminary na? ture, indicate that war is almost in? evitable. The French Canadians held a meet? ing at Clinton Hall lately in favor of the annexation of Canada to the -United States and in opposition to thu Canadian confederation scheme. Resolutions to this effect were passed, and a "committee of annexation" was appointed, with a view of forming a French Canadian annexation society in this city.
