A Stele too. in shich the military is a principal part, is not the more powerful and energetic in spit; one the drvelopemeut of its strength more rapid. merely because the supreme will is not bound by constitutional forms.

This town, which at nue time contained seventy thousand inhabitants, was regularly built iu the centre of a plain.

Our military think and feel very differently. and ere of opinion thee it is much to their praise. A sense for legal freedom is the true soul of the mi litary profession, and the spirit of conscious strength, inch us is cherished principally in the mi. litany profession, is the true soul of constitutional forms. Why should not military persons promote popular representation. and become themselves re presentatives ? Why not approve the arming of the people jointly with the standing army. or even pre fer the firmer ? Our King must certainly not consider the military as so unpopular and unsocial. Tor it was. doubtless, his intention not to make those Generals and Officers unhappy whom he placed in the Laudwehr. He has also taken such men as Guinean and Grottman from the army into the Council of State. and if they can there speak freely and justly in full assembly. on the general concerns of the State. they would certainly do the saute its a Chamber of Deputies, if the choice of the people should place them there. as the choice of ,the King has done here. That the military spirit in Prussia unites with the constitutional. and that the latter supports the former, this very cir cumstance shun the vivifying energy that pervades the political body ; and we cannot allow either that it taut so. or that so it is not good.—(Allgerneine Zeiss's'.
