The King has, by a royal message, transferred the

votes, the hall of session of this Assembly was on the
31st of last month, formally besieged, and the OW

the members of this Assembly, in consequence of tares fro,

sorrow, took place in our capital and resideetiary city el
Berlin, do not there find that protection which is indispea.

desire, which is shared by the whole country—that the

The sensation created by this royal message in the
National Assembly was the deepest possible. hums.
diately after it was road, Count Von Brandenburg
rose, and, having declared that the Assembly Wel
required to close the debate, and that he pro ested
against its being continued, as an unlawful proceed-
ing, left the Assembly, follows d by the mitisters and
a part of the members of the right.
The question whether the &bate should be closed
having been put to the Assembly by the president,
was negatived, and the following three re,olutions
werepassed almost unanimously :
1. That the Assembly will continue its sitting. at Berlin.
2. That the Assembly cannot be prorogued, moved, or
dissolved by the king; and 3. That the Assembly holds
those officers who had advised the king to issue this message
to be unfit to administer the government, and guilty of a
violation of their duties towards the king, the people, and the
Assembly.
The National Assembly then declared itself per.
manent, end a committee of ten has been appointed
to remain in permanent sitting. The excitement
caused by this event is intense throughout the city,
and the most serious apprehensions arc entertained
that disturbances will take place shortly.
