LONDON, SATURDAY. DEC. 9.
Tus King of Penni has been singularly maia.
drat and unfortunate in all hie acts. Never monarch
had so fair a chance of becoming the idol of his sub-
jects, mad the leading prince of Germany. To plane
himself in such a positron it was merely neosseary for
his, at any time between his acomesion and March
last, to have given Proses sea a °sanitation as he
has now promulgated. Bat the King could not
bring his mind to any each coon lion. Acid
though he pothered with Provincial Estates, and
indicated a kind of standing commission at Ber-
lin, the great European convulsion found him the
object of popular and civic mistrust, with no clam
eave the army en whom he could depend to aid him
in weathering the storm.
In this dilemma be had recourse to military mea-
sures. He surrounded his palace with artillery, and
provoked an insurrection. After many hears of
fighting, beholding . the anions bravery of his
people, and despairing of his army's sesmeisKy
assuming the offensive, his Majesty drew off hie
troop and capitulated. He granted the man of
Baia all their demands, and consented to the owe-
ogles of a constituent Assembly, to be elected by sat-
1, UMW esirege.

Germans saw through the duplicity end fat rester

fa himself under the imperial orders of Archduke
Join driving the Danes from Schleswig.
The Promise King, thus repudiated by the Frank-
fort parliament, showed all his ill humour to the
Berlin Assembly. He turned his back upon it, lived

and allowed everything .in and out of the
Assembly togrow worse. Nothing is more evident now

lies to the:eitimes,fornied a party for emanation and
order in theAreembly,such as wasessily formed atFrank-
fort. Instead of that, by his pusifianimity at first,
his coquetry with Frankfort, and his shit :41:517
own parliament, he allowed anarchy and
to become complete enters of the city and Assemblyel
Berlin, whilst he himself remained entrenched at
Potsdam as in a camp.
Yet even in the midst of his camp he never.

marched his troops against the Amenably, which
