BERLIN, JULY 1.
The report is current here, that on the 3d of
August next, bring the anniversary of the King's
birth-day, an Ordinance will be published, tieing
the basis of a Constitution for the Prussiau Mo-
narchy; but there are incredible persons who doubt
whether we shall see fulfilled so scion, even in part,
the heiste which the Pia-slang have entertained
fee these *even -years. Frederick It. whose vast
genius caused an important part to be performed in
Estrope by a small country, which seemed to be
coodemned to obscurity 'by the weakness of its re-
sources, was an obsolete Monarch, and his Govern.
meta was military.
Prince Charles of Mecklenburg'', General in
Chief of the Kilo' Guard ; Prince Ilardenberg ;
Court perustostf, the Minister for Foreig s Affairs; ,
and she-Prince Wittgenstein, High Chamberlain
of the Kii4's kinhAiold, are 'aid to think that the
establishment of Vroviociol Steles will suffice to
silence the insisurtataite•ehustmer 'those who de•

one suitable tio:4•ltimarchy, and iii corroboration
of their assertion,. they allege the example of Am-
trio; which has always wisely judged States-Ge-
neral to be destrueti%e of centralization, which is
the sincere of s monarchy. States-General, con-
tinue they, threaten the throne with a thousand
dangers. When .lOseph 11. attempted to deviate
front the track followed by his ancestors, he had
nearly opened the abyss of revolution in a country,
where. fur centuries preceding, public tranquillity
had hot hero a moment disturbed.
The 13th smile of the Federal Act, they add,
by no means prescribes the establishment of Stater-
General. This article merely decrees the establish.
merit of States iu ill the countries comprising the
Gerl24lll Confederation, Austria is very far from
desiring to change its system ; it finds that the
existriice of Provincial States perfectly fulfils the
13th article, and Austria ought in this to serve as
a model to Prussia. . .
