PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Nov. 23.—The magistrates of Berlin have
issued a very long proclamation to their fellow-
citizens, stating that it was their duty in this eventful
crisis to come to a deliberate understanding respect-
ing the actual state of events, and then to act de-
cidedly according to the dictates of conscience and
duty towards the Crown and the country. They greatly
deprecated the proceedings of a fraction of the National
Assembly, as calculated to fling a brand of discord
into the country, and to prepare the way for a most
blooly civil war. This road, however, the magi-
strates are persuaded the Berliners will not follow ;
and, in conclusion, call upon them to gather round
the constitutional throne of their :King, that peace
and unity may be re-established in the country—for
that peace with the royal house, law, and confidence,
will prove mightier than violence, and make Prussia
great, free, and happy in a higher degree than she
has yet been, or ever can be by any other measures.
The Brussels papers of the 24th ray—" Much un-
certainty prevails at this moment respecting the state
of Prussia and the determination of the King."
A telegraphic dispatch, published by the Aim-la.
Chapelle Gazette, announces that the King Las re-
signed. We consider that it is not improbable
The :King was at Bellevue on the 21st, where he.
worked with his Ministers, and received the Com-
missioner of the Empire, Simpson, the President of
the National Assembly, and the Deputy Hergenpahn.
The greatest tranquillity continues to prevail at
Berlin. The number of arms given in amounts to
22;000. The Landwehr of the March of Branden-
burg and of Pomerania, is almost all gathered be
neath the standard. Count Brandenburg, as Minis-
terial President, has addressed a note to the com-
mercial councils of Coblentz, Cologne, and Treves,
informing them that his Majesty cannot receive their
deputations, as he has not received any other depu-
tations, including those of the larger cities. He adds,
that if the commercial councils will address their
request in writing, he will do his duty by placing it
in the hands of the King.
The demarcation in the duchy of Posen is a sub-

.
ject of much deliberation, although the National As-
sembly has pronounced against this measure. The
Parliament of Frankfort insists that it shall take
place. The fortress of Posen is to be declared an im-
perial fortress
A letter from Dusseldorf, of the 23d, gives the fol.,

lowing particulars of the recent emeute :--
" This atternoon a conflict took place between the
inhabitants and the military. One of the democrats
and a Hussar have been grievously wounded. Several
persons have been arrested. The General command-
ing the 14th division, Von Dugal,ki, and the Go-
vernment President, Von Spiegel, have published a
proclamation, by which the whole province of Dussel-
dorff is declared in a state of siege."
Nov. 23.—The first day of our state of siege has
passed. With it tranquillity has been restored. A good
many wounds have been given and received in the
emeute, but nothing further of a serious character has
taken place. Lapalle, one of the principal agitators,
was arrested yesterday afternoon by order of the
Judge of Instruction. The inhabitants have not yet
given up their arms as indispensable, and this has
caused great anxiety. The troops bivouac at night
by their watch-fires, and no person is seen in the
streets after one o'clock at night.
