A Berlin letter of the 14th, in the /nig:endow
Beim :lays

- -
We briefly stated yesterday that the King bad
receive! the conservative deputation at Bans Bocci.
According to a subsequent letter, this was composed
of MM. Honed, Firmanieb, Velegold, and Lametski.
Professor Hesse!, in introdtwiqg the address, referred
to the result of the recent elections, and expressed tie
hope that the His would on in them a proof of the
sound political feeling of the citizens, and one more
fix his residence in Berlin. He then turned to the
question of German unity, and reminded his Majesty
of the solemn promises which bad been made to the
nation.

Hi a Majesty replied in an address of which the fol-
lowing is an securataanalysis :

He conneased by declaring the wading satisfaction
with whieb he regarded the result of the city election ; that
result, unexpected as it had ben, gave him hopes of a better
future. He would rotors willingly to Bulbs, Klamath he
feared the state cane Qeeen's health would not permit him
to prolong his stay there. What the deputation had said on
the affairs of Gnaw affected hie deeply. The latest de-
clarative of Prussia (August 26) was the real inanition of
hie mind, and he had Maned with 'etiolation that it
had made a good inpression He would allow no
one to say that he wee a better Prussian than
the king. " Bat," said his 'Delany, "In am to speak what
I think, lam also one of the truest of Germans. I have
fully consideted the obligation which the poeitioa of a Ger-
man prince imposes on a King of Prussia. My seutiments
on the Game question have Ginn beta minadentood.
Some have dose me great injesties la respect to those seats
meats (alluding to the speech of the King of Wittenberg
oa opening the chambers) ; this will soKturn ate from the
path of duty. It is to be regretted that ia non than rue
piece it is not understood that It is possible to be hornet fa
politics. Is striving for Germany I follow the ha Les of my
owa heart. 1 malateia the Gamma idea, sad will pursue the
path on which 1 have entered, as ter as God gives me light :
but I hope no farther. As Kmg of Prussia, I shall strive
for Germany; as a friend and ally, I will carry conciliation
es far se the homer of this country will permit. Fur the
nalatenanee of this heartat I sea appeal to the eve hundred
years widen the history of any house embreessi." King
added, that if the conga of events should lead to sztresel-
ties, he would look for support to his faithful people. In
speaking thus he would not designate any individual- power;
he bad no thought whatever of taking a hostile attitude;
but all the world might rest assured that Prussian
honour should be safe ia the hands of her king.
Meanwhile, said he, an 'greenest seemed to be
approschiag. He would gin away none of the rights of
Pieria, and he had the confidence that while he held on
this mune with Enamel he might want on the support of
the Manners.

Such is not the text, but an accurate summary of
the king's reply. Contrary to expectation, and, in-
deed, contrary to the original intention no minister
wee present at the interview; the king was accom-
panied only by Oenerel Gerlach.
Another correspondent writes from Berlin, Sept. 14 :
It is stated, on good authority, that Austria is about
to propose to the inner council of the Diet that that
body shall empower Prime Schwarzenbarg to treat
with Pravda in the name of the governments there as-
sembled. Certain presages in the King's address render
this statement in a oertain degree probable. It is thought
at Berlin that Austria, in consequence of inability to
procure the went of the four royal princes to the
project of a mixed administrative commission, will be
obliged to prolong the existing interim as proposed,
by Preside.
M. Sehleinitz foreign minister of Prussia, was last
heard of at Bogne; his absence is much regretted
under the difficulties of Prussian policy towards
Camel. A journal announces that two notes have
been addressed from belle to the Hessian govern-
ment. In the first, the Elector is summoned to
declare whether he intends or not to fulfil the engage-
ments contracted by the treaties of May 28, 1849; in
the second, the government is admonished of the
dangerous warm entered upon by the publication of
the arbitrary ordinances.
It is confidently believed in political circles here
that no intervention will take place in Sohleswig
Holstein before spring.

- •. KONDALT STUN* •
Th. bats of the members of the Dix-Decembre,
upon the night of •tbe 12th, have seriou•ly occupied
r the Committee of Permanence. It is now mentioned
by the friends of order. as matter of selfesoogratulatioo,
that, when the Mutual-Aid Society Bill was passed,
the dense proposing that the presidents of these
umodations should he *misted by the government,
was thrown out. Otherwise a powerfal revolutionary
lestrement would have -lees put into the hands of
the governmentonadse the mask of a purely charitable
iustrunient. A sew word, by the way, has been
coined, in parody of the old revolutionary designation
of " Septembrisetire,* to characterise the organised
bravos of the Dix-Deoembre —" Decenibriseun.”
Several members of the Committee of Permanence
have complained to the ministers of the riotous
proceedings on the night of the 12:h, and
the persecution of the authors of
scandal. The mieaters.protested, as in the cam
of the Napoleon, the Potwar, and the Moniteur du
Seer, their complete innocence and unoonrcioasless of
say conspiracy of the kind. None of the members of
the Committee of Permanence has visited the Presi-
dent since his return. It appears they are not pleased
with the gets:natio silence which has been preserved
la the speeches of the President daring his two
jjeeaarnies u to the labours and functions of the
Matins' Assembly.
One reads oa the bet page 'of all newspapers en
advertisement, in OZIOIMOIIe letters, of a lottery in gold
authoriaed by the government, for the transpor-
tation of five thousand free workmen to California.
The chance of getting four hundred thousand
francs for a franc, which is the price of
each ticket, bee produced a perfect fever among the
lower cluses. The workman, the shop-boy, servants,
sale and female, all run to throw their day's wages
into this wheal of fortune. The interest which the
government Las in this job is manifestly to get rid of
a number of heads which might be found one of these
days building barricades, and opposing, musket in
hand, the scheme for consaidating the executive
power. To Fargo Paris of five thousand blouses be-
fore the decisive struggle of May, 18.52, conies on,
would evidently be an achievement of great import-
ance. Only it is a pity that the mesas selected are
so completely at variance with that talk about me-
relising the people, inspiring them with ideas of order
and economy, and appeasing that envy of wealth of
which the poor are soused, and which is pointed to
as the source of revolutionary passions. The sanction
of this vast lottery is, in fact, equivalent for
the time being to the restoration of all those gam-
bling establishments which have been in latter years
suppressed by law. Every office where the tickets
of this ingot Mee are add is a little hell, opened
precisely for the allurement of those classes who suf-
fer most by exposing to hazard their slender gains.
The capital of the lottery is seven millions of francs.
Not a village in France that will not have an office
for the distribution of tickets established at the
mayory. Ingot' have been chosen for the prises, se
if for the design of evading the law, which prohibits
all lottery-prizes of money. But as the prohibition
extends to all objects winch are not samobiliers, the
evasion in selecting ingots would appear to be insuf-
ficient. Thus, in order to expatriate 5,000 workmen,
the government connives at a grosejob,at once illegal
and immoral, the effect of which will be to en-
rich on the one hand a knot of speculators, who
give cut that their object is purely philanthropic,
with the thrifty earnings of the deluded poor, and on
the other hand to foment among the lower classes that
very cupidity which is amend by the ministerial
press a a the main spring of their seditious machina-
tions.

The Oportitts/ionnel, in its article of to-day, gives
unmistakeable symptoms of the disappointment of
the government at the result of the sittings of councils
general, and attributes their anfavourableuesa to the
prolongation of the President's powers to the presence
of so many representatives of the Assembly..
It is stated that the Minister of the Intel tor is about
to publish an order in the Muoiteur with regard to
the signature of articles in conformity with the law of
thigorennthe 20th instant forward all newspaper ar-
ticles will have to be signed in virtue of the law of
the pew pissed during the lest Mil= of the As-
senittiy.
The parcels announce erroneously that the Me-
mane princes are about to dine with Lord Normatby.
