ERFURT, JAN. 6.—Of the energy, and at the
same time the precaution, with which the 'Allied
Sovereigns arc prosecuting their purpose of ob-
taining a permanent Peace, some conception may
fie formed from a, decree of the King of Wurtem-
berg, issued in the month of January, directing,
thjt in -consequence of the absence of all his regu-
lar troops, a landsturm of at least 100,000 men
should be immediately raised for the defence of.
his dominions. Later accounts state that this
forceconsists of three divisions of infantryof 20,000
each, two: of 25,000 each, and a division‘of cavalry
of 2000. •

Yesterday the long-wished-for surrender of this
(own 'to the Prussian troops took place ; but a
very melancholy circumstance- tended to throw a
damp On the universal joy felt by the inhabitants
on their deliverance from' suffering .so protracted
and so severe. Prince Bernhard of Saxe,-Weimar,.
Colonel in the Saxon Foot Guards, a Prince, who
in the most difficult situations, had acquired the
general love and respect of all wolf-disposed per-
sons in this city, arrived here, on his way to his'
regiment at Wit.c..;enhatisen, just at the moment
when the French' were giving up the place. .He
• was walking xvith the new Prussian Comenandatit
across what is called the Anger, ,the principal
square in the city, to the floman'EMperor Hotel,
When a French Officer, who had, been posted at
the Ursuline Convent, passed by with 12 or 15
men. This Officer, as soon sas, he descried'the
Saxon uniform, broke out :into. the most vulgar
abuse, and at the same time ordered his soldiers
to lay hold of the Prince. Thelatter, perceiving,
that the Officer was excessively intoxicate& was
desirous of avoiding .any altercation with him, and
hastened to the door of the hotel. The French-
man followed, and seized hitrrby both arms.' .Still
unruffled by this vioitnice, the Prince merely ob-
served :—Si je n'avais pas egar4 s l'habit qtze vous
portez, feu agirois bleu autrement (livers vous —c.c If
it were not for. respect for your cloth, I should
treat you in a very different manner ;-" and posited
him out at the floor. Many, of the townspeople
who happened to witness the brutality of the Offi-
cer, thronged round _ him, hut, the Prince still
strove to protect bun from the effects of their just
indignation. In return for this attention the-offi-
cer stepped back to his mew, and ordered theist to
fire, Six or eight balls flew about the Prin.-re; and
while his companion,-Count E--, and his (Ad-
jutant, were endeavouring tu.bring hint back into.
the house for safety, a French subaltern stabbed him, •
with his bayonet in the thigh, tFt the depth of' five
inches, anti wounded his ,vervant in thesain man-
man. • The blood of the 'Prince itiflanted the
rage ,of the assembled sc'itizens ; in spite of Ihe,
continued fire of the French they rushed npon
them, knoelced- most of„ theta down; and so se-
verely wounded the offieer, in several places, that
he died early this morning. The hives of the other
Frenchmen were,- with difficulty, saved ~by the
Prussian soldiers. I.7orturwely the Prince's wound.
is- not dangerous,' and is hoped that in a few
days he will be nb'e to his 'journey.—
Allthe.Freitch Officers of distinction psuson'dly ,
welted on the Prinee t 0 enress their indignation ,1
on this event. I
