BERLIN, Nov. SO.

THE ADDRESS:

The proposed address to the king, as at present
printed, is as follow. :
" Your Majesty has convoked the chambers at a
difficult moment; and, we may add also, at a momen-
tous crisis. The national feeling that has been called
forth at this time, when the safety and honour of the
country seem to be imperilled, is unanimous.
" The two chambers feel themselves constrained to
express from their hearts the extreme concern which
the attempt on your Majesty's life has occasioned them.
" With satisfaction we learn that your Majesty
maintaice uninterrupted friendly relations with the
great powers of Europe, for we know how fully to
appreciate the blessings of peace. Deeply do we
deplore, nevertheless,that the efforts of your Majesty's
government have not been able to procure for the
German state. constitutions milted to their wants.
We hope that farther efforts to this end, as on the
26th May, 1849, it was folly and emphatically
expressed, will have this result—namely, to give to
Germany outward dignity
.and inward freedom by a
constitutional government in which Prussia, after she
has identified herself, at the sacrifice of a separate
policy, with all Germany, can take no second place.
On the co-operation of the Prussian people in these
Mlles year Majesty may securely reckon. The re-
meant of the Diet, abolished by universal consent,
appears perfectly inconsistent with this object.
"We sincerely regret that despite the peace con-
cluded with Denmark, and on all sides ratified, a
satisfactory settlement of the affairs in the Duchies
lot Holstein and Schleswig bas not yet been brought
about- We hope that if this settlement cannot be
obtained without foreign interference, the united
goveraments of all the German state. may succeed in
aseeraplishing it by provisions which will not oorn-
promies the rights of any party. Such an united on-
pration would be the beet guarantee against say
ible violation of the integrity of Germany, and
would remove an anxiety lest • brother rues, feel
whom our brave army has twits fought and Med,
should be disarmed and sacrificed.
" Deplorable events in a neighbouring land
have excited the liveliest resentments (torsi/fen)
in Prussia, and it is with satisfaction acknow-
ledged that the interfaence of your Majesty's
government in the same has set to them a
bound, to maintain which is obligatory on the
German renown of Prussia and the honour
of her arms. As thereby misunderstandings have
arisen, and a military force has been assembled which
threatens the security of the monarchy, it became in-
cumbent on the government to call into reodinees for
action the military resources of the country. The
whole kingdom, at your Majesty's call, has taken up
arms. With enthusiastic confidence have all hastened
to respond to your appeal. Bat one feeling pervades
the country ; one will animates the whole nation—to
cluster, as one man, round the throne of our king, u
our fathers did in bygone centuries, and as ourbro-
thus did in their last stragglers for freedom. The
army stands before ns, strong in numbers, stronger in
discipline and equipment, but strongest of all in cou-
rage and enthusiasm, awaiting the commands of their
king !
" Your Majesty seeks no war, would violate no
one's rights. Gad be thanked, therefore ! Bat you
demand institutions for our whole Fatherland which

should be oommensarate with Prussia's present posi-
tion in Oensany and in Europe ; and the hope* and
expectations of the Prussian people are fixed upon
your Majesty far the aocomplishment of this demand.
The sword is drawn for the defence of this good
right ; should it be granted, satisfactory guaran-
tees would be given that it would be peaceably
returned to its sheath, and thousands would
willingly exchange it for icstruments of peaceful in-
dustry. It will, however—if so it must be—fell with
force en any one who shall dare to invade or to touch
Prussia's right or Prusia's honour.
" Sustained by the unanimous co-operation of the
whole nation, we will with seal and alacrity grant all
the mesas to same the attainment of such an object—.
thus to endow the onstitutional monarchy with a
aewand powerful security.
"in this view all parties are united. All are agreed
in sustaining your Majesty—in making good your
Majesty's pledges. All are of one mind—united—
trusting in God—in the old genuine Prosaism spirit!
" And, so may God speed -ma in the way in which
Its has gradovaly led u for coastwise. In this is oar
trait:
