BERLIN, TUISDAY ETZSINO, Doc 10.
A royal proclamation, published to-day, orders that
the reduction of the army should be commenced.

Oar Berlin correspondent writes u follows :
BERLIN. Dao. 9.

The publication of the " Punciationetc" as one of
the documents drawn up at Olmutz is termed, at last
partially enlightens the darkness which has hitherto
enshrouded every thing connected with that myste-
rious interview. [lt was published in our journal
yesterday.)
This document shows that the public and the
papers have both misunderstood the statements made
by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. It is supposed
that two commissioners were to be appointed to settle
the Schleswig-Holstein question, WA two to arrange
that of Hesse-Cassel. This is erroneous, as the docu-
ment shows. Two oommiesioners are to be
appointed by Austria and her allies, and
by Prussia and her allies, one by each, to
procure a final settlement of both questions ; sad
two temporary commissaries are to be appointed in
the same manner to induce the Staathalterschaft to
consent to the teems proposed by Radowitz in Novem-
ber. The present terms, however, depart from those
them proposed in their reference to the other party to
the war. The "Purctationen " states, that Austria
and Fronds will use their influence to procure from
the Danish government the withdrawal of their troops
from the Duchy of Schleswig, with the exception of
ouch a number os may be necessary to preserve peace
and order. If the experience of the past years was oon-
sidered in drawing up this article, it was very cun-
ningly worded; for the month of Sellsswig has shown
that pease and order are everywhere impossible
where Danish soldiers are quartered within it, and
that the moment they are withdrawn the order
Of the country remains undisturbed. The present
condition of the south of Schleswig is a
proof of what the Danes consider peace and
order, and the two governments may perhaps
intend to use their influence to procure the with-
drawal of the whole, but I fear that their intentions
are very different. I understand that the Duchies are
determined to drive the matter to the uttermost, and
will only submit toe superior force. The change in
the command of the army seems to show this. The two
commissaries to be appointed by Austria and
Prussia are to proceed, first of all, to essay peaceful
influence over the Staatholterschaft : if their mission
fail the other commimionen, who are, I believe, to
sit in Coma, will then be called on to act towards the
Duchies, and the threatened intervention will take
place. This much is clear from the " Panctationso,*
but there was another document drawn up at Olmats,
the existence of which has been denied by one party,
and *meted by another, bat of which I have now no
doubt. It been the title, so pregnant to Germany,
