FRANKFORT.
The Archduke Vicar of the German Empire lit it
addreascd the following order of the day
to the'
troops in the service of the Empire :
" German warriors! a disastrous quarrel has broke
out in Germany on the subject of the Constitution 01
the Empire. All true friends of the country ars'
already assembling their forces in order that tbis!
quarrel shall be settled in a legal manner, and not by
a war of brothers against brothers. Ono party a1e130,1
i which does not trouble itself about the Constitution, bill;
nigh other criminal subjects, makes use of this differenof
about the Constitution as a pretext for attacking orde,l
and the laws, and for spreading dissension and CiSl",
war throughout Germany. It is necessary to cont.:lgo%
ously defend the peace and the happiness of our &lg.
c. untry, and the prosperity and industry of its inhab I'
tants against this party. Warriors ! the safety of the
whole German country is confided to your honou f.'
You will reject with scorn every attempt to make you
waver in your duty. Whilst, at this moment, your vi'f
torious brethren in arms form a close barrier by the
ranks against a tbreign enemy, you will be united in t! to
same manner against the enemy at home. If anarch f
and barbarism should dare to raise their heads, you wi
prove that the unshaken fidelity, the firm courage, an
fraternal union of the German army, form the powerfill
buckler which victoriously protects our dear county
from all danger from whatever quarter it may come."
