The King of Prussia has just arrived hers, and
the headquarters have been established at the
residence of the governor. His Majesty was re-
ceived by the Bishop of Briinn, Count Schaff-
galach, the burgomaster, and the authorities, who
urged the King to spare the city, and treat the
inhabitants with lenity. His Majesty replied in
nearly the following terms :—" I am not
here of my free choice or free will, but
I because the Emperor of Austria has forced
me into war. I do not therefore make
I war against the peaceful subjects, but against
the army of the Emperor. Up to the present I have
been victorious, and the valour of my army in-
spires me with confidence in our further success.
I have been obliged to lead hither an unusually
large army. I; is very possible that in isolated
cases the inhabitants may have cause for complaint,
but this will be avoided by their readily supplying
my brave troops with the necessaries of life." His
Majesty has given a reception to Prince Frederick
Charles, and all the Prussian generals in Brunn.

The municipality of Huaum has sent an address
to the King of Prussia, felicitating his Majesty
upon his victories in Bohemia, which it compares
with- the achievements of the great Elector Frede-
rick, and the victorious struggle of Prussia to
deliver Germany from the dominion of Napoleon I.

Prussia, and that Germany may attain such •
position among the nations of Europe as she has a
right to claim.

THE PROPOSED ARMISTICE.
VIENNA, JuLT 14.

The Prcsse of to-day says :—" The proposed
mediation of the Emperor of the French is, for the
present at least, at an end, and Austria must
henceforth trust to her own strength and resources.
She is resolved not to hesitate before the most
strenuous exertions in order to maintain her position
as a great European Power."

PARIS, JULY 14.
The Droit of to-day announces that legal pro-
ceedings have been commenced against the Preaae
for the publication of false news in a recent article
entitled "The Bases of the Armiatice."
PARIS, JULY 15.

The Moiarm of this morning says :—" The jour-
nal La France discusses the general import of pre-
liminaries of peace alleged to have been brought to
Paris by Prince Reties. In reality Prince Reuss
was simply the bearer of an autograph letter from
the King of Prussia to the Emperor. We cannot
sufficiently warn the public against attaching cre-
dence to the news published by papers which be-
lieve themselves to be well informed, and we again
remind the latter of the responsibility they incur."
