Vsesaia.—The result of the late elections is thus stated :

Ministerialists 160 Advanced Liberals 80 Ministers 4 Friends of Cabinet 18 Ultmmontane,s 42 Poles 20 Officials 12 lunkers • 7 Total . 343 Of these 290 support the movement for German unity. The King is said to be exceedingly displeased at the composition of the new House, but Ministers have still a clear majority. The issue at stake seems to be this : The King wishes to increase the army without putting himself at the head of the German party. The Liberals, on the other hand, declare that he shall not have a great army for any other purpose. The turning-point of the struggle will, therefore, be the military budget.
