PRUSSIA AND

."
Immense activity prevails in the various offices
of the Ministry of War here, and of the administra-
tions of the regiments," mays a letter from Berlin in
the Dresden ./o•rnal. " In the Ministry of War, and
in the general staff, deliberations, in which the officers
of provincial staffs take part, are held on the prepara-
tions necessary to be made by the entrance on •
campaign of an expeditionary army. The medical
organisation in particular is being completely trans-
formed in consequence of the experience attained in
the Eastern war."

The Suisse of Berne says :—" The Federal military
dep-rtment has addressed to the government of the
cantons a circular, in which it enjtins the municipal
authorities to send immediately to the commanders
of divisions a return of the state of the buildings,
the condition of the populations, Ike., of their com-
munes, together with information respecting all the
edifices which can serve for the establishment of
guard-houses, workshops, hospitals, and stables.
The communes, moreover, are requested to make
known the number of horses they paeans. If war
be declared, the general-in-chief and the oommndera
of divisions will have the right to take from private
persons all the hones they may require. The Grand
Council of Lucerne met on Saturday, and accorded
to the government an unlimited credit for the even-
tualitintof war."
The latest telegraphic despatch received at Paris,
from Berne, is dated Wednesday, and it dates that
the Federal Assembly has unanimously elected Gen.
Dufour (a veteran officer of Napoleon's greeds
arm Pe, and the trusted negotiator, on behalf of the
Swim Confederation, with the Emperor of the
French), to be the Commander-in-Chief of the
Federal Army. General Dufour immediately took
the oaths prescribed by the constitution.
General Freiherose was appointed to be the Quer-

The Assembly is to hold three more sittings.
A despatch from Berlin, dated the evening of the
30th ult., says " A number of generals of division
are now here. Sir Colin Campbell hag arrived ; he
is charged to deliver to the Prince of Prussia the
insignia of the Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath."
The same telegraphic despatch announces that
Baron von Mantentfel, who is the Prime Minister of
Prussia, had left Berlin for Vienna. It seems doubt-
ful, however, whether Colonel von Manteneel be not
the person intended.
Colonel Ziegler, who has shifted his headquarters
to Fenerthalen, issued previously to the 6th 'Divi-
sion the following order of the day, which we take
