PRUSSIA.

Adrices from Berlin of the 16th have been re-
ceived. Up to that time there had been no fresh dis-
turbances, and the authorities have published a notice
ordering a strict investigation into the circumstances
attending the late emeute.
It appears that the shots fired from the arsenal were
fired by order of Captain BBICDER, and not by order of
Major BENDA, whose windows were broken by
people under the idea that he was the person who had
ordered the firing. Several persons engaged in the
late riots have been arrested. Major BLESSEN, the
Commander of the Burgher Guasd, has resigned, and
Major IttamEn has been appointed commander ad
Two persons were killed and seven wounded
by the firing from the arsenal.

The Landwehr of Berlin, which is called out to
assist the Civic Guard, are very willing to under_
take the duty on certain conditions ; they wish to
be placed on a perfect equality with that force, and
have stated their claims in the following declaration,
which, coming as it does from a part of the army, is
written in a style unexampled in the archives of the
Prussian military administration :
" The unexpected summons to the Landwekr to
take the guard of the city has filled every one with
joy, and we shall enter upon this duty with all the
energy and perseverance which is expected from
us. It appears to us, however, necessary, in
order that the honour of the Burgher Guard
should not be injured, and for the purpose of avoiding
all possible conflicts with them, that the summons for
the militia should likewise be confirmed by that body.
It we are to enter upon the duties of the Burgher
Guard conjointly with it, then we may also demand
equal rights as our due, and we consider the concession
of the following articles requisite for this purpose:-
1. All who belong to any armed society may remain
members of it, according to their own free will, as it is
the same thing if the individual officiates as member
of the Burgher Guard, or as militiaman, in guard-
ing the safety of the city. 2. For this duty the militia
is placed under the command of the General of the
Burgher Guard. 3. The election of officers is to take
place in the same manner as in the Burgher Guard.
4. The militiamen are only to be regarded as acting in
that capacity when they are in actual service. Their
service consists only in the duty of mounting guard anti
patrols, which goes by turns, or in assisting the Burgher
Guard in case of alarm. Besides this, the militiaman
is net to be required to discharge any duties interfering
with his private affairs. Pay is only to be taken for the
time the militiaman is in actual service. It is free to
every one to do duty with or without pay. 5. The
Landwehr, as stated by this summons, can only be
called on duty in the city. It does not devolve on them
to leave the city, and a guarantee must be given when
it is required to do so.
