FROM THE lI.IIIBURGH MJILS. RNTISBON - , Jr;. I.s.—The day before yesterday M. BILDT, the Envoy for Swedish Pomerania, gave in the following DECLARATION, "- His Swedish Majesty has di'reeted the Under signed, his Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni potentiary, to declare to the Diet of the Ger Man EM pire, that the offences daily committed by many Mem - hers of the Empire, against the Constitution they have sworn to maintain, are contraryto the principles of ho nour and virtue. His 'Majesty' has long since fore told the unhappy consequences of the disputes which have prevailed among the Members of the Empire, as well.as the consequences of the want of respe& which they haVe manifested towards the German Constitution. The sentiments and principles of his Majesty' are too well knOwn, and' have been too often expressed to the Diet, for it to be necessary that he should repeat them : especially at a time when we must not speak the language of ho nour; and still less observe its 'laws, , if we wish to be ,heard. • His Majesty, therefore, considers it as beneath his dignity; . from this day forards; to take any part in the deliberations of the Diet, so long as its decisions shall be under the influence of usurpation and egotism.

PROCLAMATION Addressed hy the Arehduke CHARLES 20 the Austrian Army, in consecfuence of the conclusion of the Peace . at Prus . burgh. " His Majesty, has, out 'of love to 'his People, concluded a Peace. _ He. could have relied on the valour of an, Army which remains unconquered by the Enemy, and which has defended the rights of the Sovereign with equal firmness in. Germany . and in Italy; but .the paternal feelings of His - Majesty would not permit him to prolong the 'sufferings which his faithful Subje&s endure .in a period of hostility, and he has therefore . hastened.' to free them from the dangers which are attached to the uncertain fortune of War. The-Troops must now return to the Peace Establishment, until the protec tion of the Thrime and - the Country summon them to new dangers and, - new glory. I hope that the Officei ! s and Privates will render this period of re pose subServient to the improvement.of the Army ; that they will preserve their discipline and military spirit ; and that they will employ their Colleaed experience'to the advantage of the service, and the future honour .of His Majesty's arms. For those who have evinced so much attachment to my person, my sincerest gratitude accompanies thern. I shall seek every opportunity to prove that the good of the Army is the most anxious wish of my heart. " ,CHARLES, Field-Marshal."
