THE SUN.
LONDON, WEDNESDAY, :INTARCII 12, 1862.

The King of PRUSSIA has shown more obstinate
incapacity for hia position than was ever expected
from him. His knowledge of Constitutional
per in reference to it were
Government, and his temper
always rated very low, but it seems not low enough.
His Chamber of Deputies differed from him. They
wished for a budget not to be voted as a whole, but
specifying the principal items—and for this their
punishment is dissolution! If the English practice
has a shadow of reason in it—if M. FOULD, the
man summoned by EMPEROR to set his Budget
Tight, has any reason in him, what the Chamber
Asked for is a most reasonable and constitutional
thing. The Deputies were probably influenced by
the example of France. They saw that a man of
unquestionable financial ability had convinced
the EMPEROR of the substantial excellence of
the principle of making the Government respon-
sible for giving correct estimates, and for limiting
its expenditure by the conditions under which they
had asked the money. On this point they were
.therefore firm ; and on this point, as the Chamber
is dissolved, we suppose the next step must be to
try whether the country will back its Deputies in
their firmness.
The whole proceeding is due to the KING him-
self. His Minister?, on the adverse vote of the
Chamber, tendered their resignations ; but the KING
declined to
ac
and to accept it. lie required them to remain
act; but one act was compatible with re-
maining in °face when they had been out-voted on
a grave ministerial
lquestion by a majority of 171
against 143. They therefore,al with one exception,
,BETHmAN RGILwx
G' the Minister of Public
worship, agreed to advise a dissolution—the course
preferred by the King. The Crown Prince, it
eeerns, young as he was wiser than his father,
and proposed a prorogation for six
weeks,s, under
pretext of reforming the Budget, and Li with the hope
of something turning up. But the old milit ye-
treined King wad obstinate—the Chamber, in tji e
Slew of a Soldier, had been mutinous—civil law
allowed no severer punishment than disbandment,
co the refrectory regiment is broken up.
It remaing :0 be scen, hoiVi:Vtr, whether the Prus-
sian / lectors cr).rnpreLeed the, difference between
a military regime and a civil Chamber between
an institution, half 111;1 value and cfficieeey of which
depends on implicit obed:;ence, and one of which the
chief advantage is free discussion and free action
on all topics. It was the feed on the part of the
Ministry of receiving back from the country a More
liberal Chamber than ,the present one, Whim at
first made them resign rather than advise a
