PRUSSIA.

General VON WRANGEL has issued the following
general order to the troops :

" GENERAL ORDER.
" Potsdam, Sept. 17.
" His Majesty the King has, by a cabinet order of
the 15th instant, accorded me a new proof of his gra-
cious confidence, by appointing me to command all
the troops stationed in th© Marches. My mission
is to restore public order wherever it may be in,
terrupted, when the power of good citizens shall be
inefficient for that purpose. This mission is difficult

and entails great responsibility. This I cannot deny.
but it shall nevertheless be fulfilled, For this I have
a guarantee in that mutual confidence between soldiers,
officers, and chiefs, for which the Prussian army has not
been less celebrated, less gloriously pre- eminent, than for
that love and faithful devotion to the King with which
we are all inspired. I entertain decided hopes, however,
that I shall not be required to interfere with the military
force ; as I place reliance upon the citizens. They, like
us, have only the public good in view. The flock is
their own. We must unite in protecting it. Elements
nevertheless, exist in the country, which tend to dis-
order. They are few in number, but proportionately
powerful, Nyhilst the numerous good elements shrink
.back. I will henceforth be a moral support to the latter,
in order to render it less difficult for them to maintain
that public order, without which there can be no legal
freedom. I have received at Potsdam the satisfactory
testimony that the inhabitants and whole Burgher
Guard rallied around me for this purpose. This was the
more grateful, the more honourable for me, as it oc-
curred upon the first day of my taking the command of
the Marches. This inspires me with hopes and confi-
dence in the future.
" Soldiers! Do not allow yourselves to be led astray
by speeches and proclamations addressed to you by un-
known persons. Turn a deaf ear to them, no matter
how flattering they may sound, or how brilliantly
they may paint your future prospects, providing you
follow their evil counsels. Do not attend the meet-
ings where such speeches are addressed to you.
Listen rather to my voice—to the voice of your general
—it is well intended! Hold firm to your
.officers,
and they to you! Let no stranger element step in be-
tween you! When you have legal demands tolmake, do
so in a lawful manner through your officers! From no
one can you expect more certain assistance than from
them, for none better know your wants—none are more
deeply animated with the desire to aid you by word and
deed. As a proof how anxiously I desire your good,
not only as soldiers, but how eager I am to con-
sider your domestic welfare—l hereby direct that
the selection for the reserves shall be reduced on the
war footing to nine hundred men per battalion, and I
hope shortly to further reduce the effective strength to
800. Those who are to be dismissed will at first consist
of such men who have legitimate claims, and then of
those whose family affairs most urgently require their
presence at home. They will be impartially selected
from the oldest-service men on the reserve lists. Lastly,
officers and soldiers, I beseech you hold firm to your
present confidence in each other, and in your dear loved
King ! Long may he live ! (Er lehe dreinial hock!)
" The Commander-in-Chief in the Marches,
