History will make gtatttful mention of a Prince who died so nobly for his country, so gloriously for Europe.* DECREE RESPECTING TUE REPRESENTATIOY OF THE POP! E. We, Frederic William, by the Grace of God, King , of Prussia, &c. By our Decree of the 30th of last month, we have ordained a regular Administration tio: our Monarchy, caking into consideration at the same date the former -velations of the provinces. • The history of the Prussian State spews, indeed, that the happy state of civil liberty, and the duration of a just administration founded upon order, has hi. therm found in the character of the Sovereigns, and in their union with their people, all that security which the imperfection and uncertainty of all human institutions would allow. in order, however, that these advantages may be built on a still firmer basis, and that we may give to the Prussian nation a pledge of our confidence, and so pos:crity as authentic document of the principles upon which our ancestors and ourself have conducted the govcs nalent of our kingdom with constant regard to the happiness of our subjects ; and that those prin ciples may be durably recorded by a written docu nwnt, as the Constitution of the Prussian Monarchy, we have resolved as follows: 1. A representation of the people shall be formed. S. For this end, (.1) The Provincial Assemblies, where they still exist with , r less influence, are to be re-established and modelled ac cor.lia; .4 , the exigencies of the times. (b) When there are at present no Provincial Assemblies they a e to be introduced. S. From the Provincial Assemblies. the -Assembly of the Re- Frei...ma:vs.% of the Kingdom is to be chosen which will sit at Berlin. 4. The functibns of the National Representatives extend to the ddliberati9n oron all the ohjects of legislation which concern the personal tights of the citizens and their property, including taxation. 5. A Committee is to be formed at Berlin without delay, which is to consist of exprienced Officers of State, and inlaid tans to the Foy niers. • 6.

J4AMJIVB.GH, JULY ' The 30th of June was a day of universal joy, such as Hatriburgh never saw, from the very break of d.ty when the news of the glorious result of the victories of the allied armies began to spread among the people. On the 2.1.0 t July there was public thanksgiving for the soccesseS of the allied arms, on which occasion an ample collection was made in the churches far the relief of those who shall suffer in this war. On the same day 4 very different ceremony was per formed ; it was'the setting up again of the tomb of Ilopstock, which was -thrown down last year. The ceremony was very interesting. Among other persons present was the English Consul Mr, Mellish, the personal friend of. Klopstock, Schiller, Wieland, and Qoethe, with his Pamily. FRANKFORT, JULY S. The Cartrruhe G.:zate contains the following very remarkable article : I.ccording to letters from Geneva of the 80th of June, it appears, that up to the 28th, 50,000 Au strian troops had passed through. The 'Swiss troops; have occupied Carouge, in consequence of a Con vention concluded between the Swiss Colonel Son nenberg and the French General Dessaix ; the Swiss croups had already begun to throw some bombs ir.to " By a Convention concluded between General Baron r iimont and General Sachet, the French were to 'evacuate Chambvry, Grenoble, and the whole country as tar as Lyons. Fort L'Ecluse capitulated Op the 29th, in the morning." ' In confirmation of the Carhruhe fiesgtte, we quote the following *wisp which we have jtut received e _ _ Gesersiuse 90. a The Austrians entered France Yesterday tam . ji bs. A colnnrn of 20 or 25,090 men liaitadrinied upon Ckambery : another column of the same feria bas traversed our. city to enter the country of Gee, and proceed to Fort L'Ecluse. These troops wi Oen march to I.yons, where it is thought they will enter without firing a shot. vs Ge:ielal Bairn Frimont had yesterday morning, very clay, a conference with Marshal n Suchet, of the Marsh,llll4ving frankly confessed that the Govern- Anent was entirely disorganised, and that he nolonger received any orders, begged General Frimont to act with t: t• greatest humanity. The result of this con. fereiice is not known, but the Austrians advance. 44 P.S. We learn this moment, that a Convention was signed last night between General Trimont and Marshal Sachetr we do not yet know the stipulations." 7cXTRACT OF A LI:11 R FRONI THE UPPER RHINE, .rt:Ly '6g In our corner, which comprehends - the Baden Wieien circle, the military routes have been so crowded for thin fortnight past, that SOGO men or more were frequently quartered in the smallest vil lage. Above 15 , 1,000 troop!, have passed through slats district. The passage over the Rhine hegaii . on ' the night of the 25th, and ;till continues. For these days the sky has been red every n;ght with the liitras of burning villajes. Where a Single shot is Fired frera them ureti the Allies, all is levelled to the ground. 4 6 A dreadful judgment hangs over France, the. crimes of preceding times are visited upon their de scendants, who rival them in the commission of eaor. mities. Spare me the description of the inconceiv; able crimes perpetrated by men whose duty it was to rennin quiet, and bear with resignation the tempo rary burdens of a • war which has been brought upon them by their idol and his boasting army, to which it was not safe to announce its greatest defeat, other wise than as a victory. Some horror-inspiring scenes will inform you how things go on in this part of the theatre of war, and how much misery is felt in these parts, that are inflam..d by furious fanatics. The, villages of Ilegenheiar and Muldh...usen gaie the first examples of the most shocking excesses. Its the for mer, a German soldier, after having had his eyes put out, was hung up alive. The most dreadful pu nishment followed on the instant. The aged, the women, and the children suffered with the wicked perpetrators. At Muldhausen two soldiers were shot by a man, whose duty, we are ashamed to say, was very different, and who ought to have preached , works of peace.' His house was surrounded, and•he] was destroyed with it. 46 Half a league beyond. Muhl/mu:en, six huhlans" riding by a farin•hduse, one of them asked a boy, of twelve years of age, the name of the next village; instead of ansi•er mr, the man fives shot from his luirse, the boy was instantly cut down by tile side of his mo ther, who fled. The farther the troops penetrated into the interior, the niore does the rage of the inhat bitants abate, aft= the . chasti s ement they have re- , ceived. On ly the douaniers are so furious." The last letters from-Basle saY, that Gcnerakrio mont has entered Lyons. ANOTIIEWLEITEM—SAME DATE. • 66 Things take the most happy turn in our !Sift bourhood. General Dessaix made a capitulation, on the f.:Sth, in the morning, for the evacuation of the country on the left bank of the Arve. The Austritina entered Carouge soon after, but did not pursue the French cavalry. The same day, they began to pass through our city to march into Gex. Their march continued yesterday. The number of troops that have passed by this city and by Savoy is 36,0t10.--. From 12 to 15,000 men are still about our city, who, are preparing to go forward ; the rest, consisting chiefly of cavalry, are expected to.msrrow. These troops observe the best discipline. 66 Yesterday evening there was read to the coops an order, which states, that the French troops will retire five days march, and will be successively re placed by the Austrian troops. As these five days' march Voureers d'etape) lead to the very gates of Lyons, it is hoped that that city is include 4 in the Convention. This arrangement is the more form nate, as the passes through the mountains had been fortified, and would have presented many difficulties; but the French had not troops enoustil to defend them. It is probable that lar:1 tl Sochet is endea vouriug to make his peace with the King. When the example is (awe given, every one will be eager to follow it.—General Count buhna, who has come over Mount Canis, has uken Chambery, atter some resistance." WURTZBURG, JULY S. Yesterday seven French (4licers and 57 soldiers, taken at Saarbruck, were brought here tre the castle. Among them was a lad of sixtem whisiired at Prince Wrcde out of the corn; the ball happily passed over the horse.
