BADE N.

A Provisional Government has been formed at
Carlsruhe, under the name of " Commission of the
Country," consisting of Messrs. BRENTANO, HEIN-
RICH, HAFF, RICHTER, A. GOEGG, WERNER, and
REIENIANN. This Commission published the follow-
ing proclamation on the 14th :
" Fellow-citizenzl—Thirtecn months of a painful com-
bat, thirteen months of difficult sacrifices have been passed
through. During that time we have only been sustained
by the hope that our fine country would recover liberty,
and a fraternal bond would unite all Germans. But,
no sooner had the constitution been definitively voted,
than the conspiracy of the Kings broke out, as also their
perfidious alliance with the Czar of Russia, to enslave
the German people, who proved tb&r generosity in the
month of March last year. In a word, tho counter-
revolution displays itself boldly and unmasked. Fellow-
citizens! in such a struggle the bravo army, our
brethren and yours, could not hesitate to see that their
duty called them to the side of the people. They have
felt that, as children of the country, they ought to com-
bat for the liberty of the people, for tne unity of Ger-
many, and the grandeur of the nation. Accordingly,
the army has }Dined you. It does not combat against
the people, but against the enemies of the liberty of the
country. This union of the army with the people was
not a sufficient motive to induce the GRAND DUKE to
tyke to flight; but Ministers guilty of treason gave him
the advice to do so; and they have abandoned the Go-
vernment, and given up the affairs of the country to
chance. Fellow-citizens, in recalling to mind the en-
gagement which we took before the great assembly of
the People at Offenburg, and obeying the wishes of the
communal authorities, wo have this afternoon entered
the town, at the head of our brave soldiers. We will
employ all our aforts to protect persons and pro-
perty, by establishing a popular form of Go-
vernment. We will do all that may depend
on us to carry on the Government. We will remain in the
place which has been assigned to us by our duty and by
the wish of the people, until the people shall have deter-
mined on the form of Government. Fellow chi nns, our
task is dneult, but we feel that we have the energy ne-
cessary to fulfil it. Second our efforts, and we do not
doubt that lib, rty will end by triumphing.
The Commission of the Country, in te name of the
country,
"M. K. BRENTANO, HEINRICH HAFF,
" RICHTER, A. GOEGG,
" W ERNER, REHMANN."
The above was published in the official g,zette, which
has taken the name of " Organ of the Curninis,ion of
the Country," and come out under the number 1.
The fallowing communication to the communal au-
thorities has also been published :
" Carlsruhe, 14th May.

"In consequence of the late events many soldiers from
;he army of B.wlen have left their quarters. They are
called upon to return quickly, that they may serve the
cause of liberty. All the communes of the country are
invited to employ all the means in their power to induce
the soldiers to return to their quarters.—By order of the
Executive Committee,

EICHFELD."
The following has also been published by the Pro,
visional Government of Carlsruhe :

" Appeal to the Of Officers who in conse-
quence of the late events are no longer under their co
lours, are desired to place themselves at the disposal of
the Minister of War, it the liberty of the people and the
good of the great country of Germany are dear to them,
and they feel it to be their duty to defend them. In the
name of the Executive Committee,

" Eicur F.LD."

A letter from Mannheim, of the 14th, states tbat
no sooner did the intelligence of the events at Canis-
ruhe reach that town than the soldiers refused to
obey their officers, joined the people, and promenaded
the town with them arm in arm, singing revolution-
ary songs, and crying, " Long live IIEcKER, the
Republican chief!"
At Fribourg, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, on the
14th, the soldiers drove away their officers and were
about to proceed to elect others. A Wurtembergcr
General, stationed near the town, sent to say that if
they should not make an unconditional submission
before twelve o'clock next day, he would attack the
town. The Committee of Public Safety had de.
Glared itself in permanence. The Governor Mili-
tary Commandant, and several families of the town,
had taken flight. The rebels were 3,500 strong with
eight cannon.
The Government of Hesse Darmstadt sent a bat.
talion of infantry to Germersheim to protect the
Grand Duke of BADEN, but it was met at Frei-
derschsfeld by a number of armed men, who com-
pelled it to quit the territory of Baden.
