all to himself. I could perceive that public indig-
nation would scarcely suffer this ; yonder thin-
legged barbarian must change his coat or fly. But
he did neither, for a champion was at hand who
soon abated his pride. The hall rang with applause
as a Prussian militiaman (an actor), of small sta.
tura though dauntless courage, advanced towards
the insolent foe. We saw them meet, and maw
their pantomimic combat of two, which ended in
I, favour of the small militiaman, who chased his
I rival round the stage, until, at last, he overtook
and slew him. The stream was tending towards a
I more serious combat, and the straw showed its

course.

THE M_k.NIFESTO OF THE KING OF
PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Juin 20.
The King has just issued the following mani-
festo to the Prussian nation :
To my People.—At the moment when Prussia's army is
taking the field for a decisive conflict I feel called upon to
speak to my people, the sons and grandsons of those valiant
fathers to whom my lamented father, now resting in God,
addressed half a century ago memorable words.
The fatherland is in danger. Austria and great part of
Germany stand opposed to it in anus.
It is but a few years since, of my own free will,
and without remembering former injustice, I offered
the Emperor of Austria my band as an ally
to liberate • German country from a foreign
yoke. 1 hoped that out of the blood shed in
common, a brothership in arms would spring up
which would lead to a firm alliance, based upon mutual
esteem and recognition, and therewith to all that common
action whence should proceed as fruit the prosperity of
Germany at home and her importance abroad. But my
hopes were deceived ; Austria will not forget that her
princes once ruled Germany ; she will not recognise in the
younger but powerful developing Prussia a natural
Federal ally, but only a hostile nviiL She considers that
all the efforts of Prussia must be combated because Austria
is injured by whatever benefits Prussia. The ancient
miserable jealousy has again broken forth into an open
blaze • l'russia is to be weakened, annihilated, dis-
honou'red. In the eyes of Austria treaties are no longer
valid. Gentian Federal Princes are not only called forward
against Prussia, but seduced into a breach of the Con-
federation. Wherever we look in Germany we are sur-
rounded by enemies, whose motto is " the humiliation of
Prussia."
But the spirit of ISI3 lives in my people. Who shall
deprive us of a foot's breadth of Prussian soil if we are
seriously determined to maintain the gains of our fathers—
if king and people, more firmly united than ever by the
dangers of the country, believe it their highest and most
sacred task to stake their lives and their possessions for its
honour. In anxious anticipation of what has now taken
place, I have been forced for years to consider it as the
first duty of my royal office to prepare from la military
resources fur a strong development of force. Every
Prussian will, like myself, survey with satisfaction and
confidence the armed force covering our frontiers. With
its king at its head, the Prussian nation will
feel itself a true people in arms. Our opponents are de-
ceived if they imagine Prussia is paralysed by internal dis-
-111311b101111,. In face of the enemy she is united ival strong ;
in face of the enemy those who opposed each other are re-
conciled to remain henceforth united in triumph and mis-
fortune.
That I have done everything to spare Prussia the bur-
dens and sufferings of a war is known to God, who
hearcheth the heart. Up to the latest moment, in common
with France, England, and Russia, I have sought land kept
open the way to an amicable agreement. Austria has not
desired it, and other German States have placed them-
selves openly upon her side. So be it then. The guilt is
not mine if my people are forced to fight an arduous tight
and may perhays be compelled to endure severe hardships ;
but no other choice is open to us. We must fight for our ex-
istence, must enterupon a conflict for life and death against
those who wish to tear down the Prussia of the great Elector
Frederick, that Prussia which has issued from the War of
Independence from the height to which she has been
raised by the spirit and strength of her sovereigns, the
bravery, devotion, and civilisation of Ler people.
bet us pray the Almighty, the guider of the fates of
nations, the decider of battles, that He may bless our

anus.
If God grant us the victory, we shall then be strong
enough to 1 ,:unite more firmly and prosperously in another
shape the loose tic which held the German lands together
more in name than in fact, and which is now torn asunder
by those who fear the right and the power of the national
spirit. God be with us ! WILLIAM.

GENERAL ORDER OF
BENEDEK. FIELD-MARSHAL
VON

AUSTRIO HAN HEAD-QUARTERS,
Field-Marshal LMU, JUN le.
Field-Marshal von Benodek has issued the follow
ing general order to the troops under his command
Soldiers,—We are upon the eve of serious and sanguinary
events. As in 1859, you have rallied courageously and in
numbers around our Alga. Soldiers, we have to wipe out
the stains of that period from before the eyes of the world;
we have most emphatically to chastise an overbearing and
unconscientious foe. I feel the utmost confidence that
you will show yourselves thoroughly acquainted with,
and adequate to, your task. Bestow the sante confidence
upon me, and be assured that every effort will be made
upon my part to bring the campaign to a rapid and
glorious close. We are opposed to a foroe consisting of
two portions, the line and the landwehr. The former
are composed solely of young troops, unaccustomed to
hardships and fatigue, who have never seen Unimportant,
campaign. The latter constitute extremely unreliable,
discontented elements, who would rather overthrow their
own unpopular government than fight against us.
In consequence of long years of peace the enemy has not
a single general who has had the opportunity of gaining
experience upon the field. Veterans of the Mincio and fof
Palestro, I believe you will consider it an especial point o
honour under your old and tried leaders not to let such an
opponent gain the slightest advantage.
In the day of battle the infantry will wear the light
field-cap, and lay aside all baggage, to throw itself with
the greater ease and rapidity upon the heavily burdened
enemy. Every soldier will have his field-flask filled with
wine and water, and receive an easily airried ration of
meat and bread. The officers will lay aside their broad
scarves during an engagement, with all unnecessary sym-
bols of rank by which they would be conspicuous. Every
man without distinction of name or rank, who clistin-
guisfies himself upon the battle-field will be immediately
]promoted. All the bands shall take up suitable positions
behind the front, and play us on with our old heroic
marches to the dance of arms.
For a long time the enemy has been boasting of his
more rapid small-arm fire, but I think, my men, he will
find that of little nse. We shall, probably, leave him
little time for that, but dash in upon him at once, hand to
hand, with bayonet and butt. As coon as, with God's
help, the enemy is beaten, and compelled to retreat, we
shall follow close in pursuit ; you will rest yourselves in
the enemy's country, and claim to the fullest extent all
have
the refreshment a victorious and heroic army will
earned with the utmost right.
(Signed) BLVILDLE.

SPAIN AND THE SOUTH AMERICAN
REPUBLICS.

jesty's Minister at Madrid, enclosing a copy of
the Gazette of Madrid of that date, in which it is

two divisions, one proceeding to the Philippine
blinds and the other to Rio de Janeiro.

ORDER or THE DAY or PRINCE FREDERICK
CHARLES. —PRUSSIAN HEADQUARTERS, GORLITZ, JUNE 16.
—Prince Frederick Charles has just issued the following
order of the day to the troops under his command: —" Our
King and Master has declared war upon Saxony, ver
and Electoral Hesse. The entry of my troops into the
kingdom of Saxony has taken place to-day. We have
not to regard and treat the inhabitants as our enemies, but
I only to carry on war against a government which hasforeed
us to do so by its hostility. 1 expect from the soldiers
that, as ever, they will now uphold ancient proved Prus-
sian difCipline, and thereby spare the country we are com-
pelled to occupy as much as possible the burdens of war.
Private property is to be strictly r
Shouldimected the p
o
sse
s ian
sions of the State alone are to be se' . A
troops oppose us in Saxon territory they are first to be
required to withdraw, and only to be treated as enemies in
ease of refusal. Forwards then, comrades, with our old
motto : With God, for King and country and with the
' battle cry : Long live the King V—FRILDERICE CHARLES,
General of Cavalry."
