us free ; you have conducted us in triumph to hi,
Majesty's palace, to show him the joy of his -people s'
this act of royal clemency, which is also an oict of JUS
tice. Yes, after this wonderful change in ,Europess
politics, it was indeed an act of justice. After 'German9
had proclaimed the national unity of a great, free:,
arid mighty' German fatherland—after the King 0'
Prussia's promise that he would promote this unity, be
could not consider the struggles of the condom med Poles
for an independent and free Polish fatherland tic be trea-
sonable and worthy of punishment. Citizens 'of Berlin!
the common sense of the people is a better- judge °f
affairs than the wisdom of the politician. Crtaided by it,
you have in our liberation hailed the future liberty and
independence of Poland. You are aware not o mythat
the time is come to atone for that fatal crim, e which
divided Poland, but also that an independent f soland is
wanted as a breastwork for the safety of ( ietinssi
against the inroads of the Asiatics. Would to
God that this conviction, so deeply rooted an long the
nation, might also strike the Governments of G ermauy
Would to God that the new Liberal Govern meet et
Prussia way here also take the lead, The hearts of all
Poles would ily to meet you. Germans and Poles
would, as has here been the case, meet as brothers, and
the regeneration of Poland would be a guaran tee for tbe,
peace of Europe. If this hope should be acc omplishea
(and with God's will it shall be, for the hand of God bas
this time been manifest in guiding the nations), then you,
generous citizens of Berlin, and you, the stude' ats of ibis
capital, will for ever live in the remembrance the love,
,
the respect of all Poles, for you have first landerstseu
the true interests of your nation and of ours you hare
first spoken your thoughts and your feelings.. All ball
to Germany I All hail to Prussia I All hail to Berlin !

The Prussian State Gazette of the 2&d thus de
scribes a second progress of the KING through the

city
" The King was continually kissing his band !Ind,
bowing from the carriage windows in acknowledgment'
of the affectionate greetings of his subjects. The peoP,Le
loudly assured him of their friendly disposition towar°s
him, and openly declared that they, and not h,e, were
alone responsible for what had occurred. Tloe King
frequently inquired the names of those who ma* le theta;
selves conspicuous by their warmth on the OCCaI iOl3, tn°
he granted pardon to many who asked it of h I'e
also repeatedly inquired of those about him a s to tbe
particular circumstances which had taken place at
parts of the city during the late disturbance s. Vl°
Queen and the new Ministers were also very flag
received by the populace, especially Schwerin and BO'
nemann. At five different points the King addrei sed the
people ; the cheering was universal. His Majesty COir
eluded one of his speeches in the following words :-**
Citizens, I am well aware that I am not now po vverfulia
the strength of my army or in the wealth of nay trey
sury, but I am strong in the fidelity and rich in t ;;he &Ms'
tions of my people. You have given me your hearts
your confidence, and I swear to ycu in return thla t I hate
no wish but to promote your happiness and to secure tie
independence and prosperity of Germany.' 7.71 le Ki 4
at every post addressed those on guard, thankit ig theta
for their services to the town and their fidelity, to hiss:
The procession terminated at the Palace, where, in rePl9
to an observation by one of his Ministers that the
tary duty would be very onerous to the burgh ers, the
King said, that in order to evince his confidence in that
body, he would not allow the soldiers to returla to the
capital until requested by the burghers themselves, $134,
that then it would probably be most satisfactory to au
parties if the duty were equally shared, or alternatell
performed by the two bodies. His Majesty further de-
clared that if the citizens bad any preference for Par.
ticular regiments, their wishes in that respect should be
consulted and respected."
The Poles are on guard with the burghers of
Berlin. They wear the German cockade combined
with the Polish national colours.
