KONINGSEEEG, JUNE 12,--Late last night
reached us the' following publication, signed by
his Majesty, . at his head-quarters, Ober-Groditz,
near Schweidnitz, dated June 5, 1813
The enemy has proposed-an armisticel
have, with. my Allies; accepted- it till the 20th
of July. This has been done, to the end that the
national strength, which Tiny people has in so
laudable a manner put forth, may attain its full
growth. An unweariefl activity, uninterrupted
exertions, will lead to this end. Hitherto the
enemy has surpassed us in-force---we could only
regain our national honour; we, must avail our-
selves of this short interval to become sufficiently
strong, that the end we may conqiier our rode-
peßdence. Be firm in your rem:4116011; put con-
fidence in your King ; and then_ continue your.
exertions as you hare done hitherto, and we shall
gain our sacred point.

" The armistice proposed by the enemy has
been granted to him ; but it will he sulti, ient for
the comfort of every honest Prussian to know,
that this Armistice will not lead us to a peace,
but to a renewal of morepowertul and energetic
warfare. 'The inhabitants of his Majesty's domi-
nions-between the Russian frontiers and the Vis-
tula , have distinguished themselves in every •

men and horses, the five national cavalry re-
