PRUSSIA.

The Allgemeine Preussische Zeitung, of the 27th
ult., publishes a royal decree, according to which the
national reorganization of the Grand Duchy of
Posen is to begin at once, now that the condition
under which it was promised—namely, the peace and
order of the provinces—is, in its most essential points,
accomplished. Part of the former Netz district, and
of the district of Snowraclaw, and the districts Birn-
baum, Meseritz, I3ombst, Frandstadt, Samter, Buck,
the western parts of the districts of Obernik and
Posen, with the city and fortress of Posen, the
southern parts of the districts of Kroben, Kro-
toschin, and the city of Kemden, are to be ex.
eluded from the reorganization. These parts are t(,
be incorporated with the Germanic Confederation.

but the other parts of the Grand Duchy of 'osen
will have a constitution of their own. The language
of instruction and of the civil and law courts is to be
Polish. All officers, judicial, military, or adminis-
trative, must be natives of the province. The " Lan-
drathe " shall in future be elected by the inhabitants
of the district, and the ari.is of the Grand Duchy will
be quartered with the arms of Prussia. The Poles
who live in the German parts and the German resi-
dents are, lastly, called upon to divest their minds of
all apprehensions for their religion, their property, or
the safety of their persons. The order is dated the
26th of April, and signed by all the Ministers.
The Chief President of the province has decreed
the election of the delegates of the German districts
for the Frankfort Assembly.
The Prussian journals are filled with songs of jel
on the expulsion of the Danes from the capital of
Schleswig. The loss on both sides has been great.
" The victory of the Prussians over the MOO," Ease

Gazette, " has been dearly paid for. The 20th regitatsit
of the line suffered most. Three officers of the reginsee
