PRUSSIA.

The grand procession to the graves of the heroes
of March took place at Berlin on the 4th, This
procession was intended as a manifestation against
the reactionary propositions of certain aristocratic and
provincial Members of the Assembly, and a most
imposing demonstration it proved to be.

About two o'clock processions began to form, and
proceeded by different routes to the point of assem-
bling—the G-endarmen-platz ; from thence the pro-
cession set out for the Frederich's-hain, through the
Konigs•strasse, and across the Alexander-platz.
The whole line of the procession was through a double
rank of spectators, though, beyond a few banners of
the German tricolour and flags of the different
trades, there was but little parade of decoration.
The procession could not have been less than three
miles in length. No arms of any kind were carried.
There was neither excitement nor clamour, and the
train moved along as silently as if it were really fol-
lowing the dead ; frequently not a sound was to be
heard but the measured tread of hundreds of feet.
The burial-place of the slain is an open field on a
slightly rising ground to the left of the Landsberger-
road, just without the Landsberger-gate. As the
bands that marched in the procession came in sight
of the spot they played a funeral march, and one sec-
tion of the line sang a hymn. It was nearly six
o'clock before the rear of the line reached the open
ground around the graves. Here they were addressed
by several speakers. From the appearance of the
majority of those forming the procession, it was
evitlent nothing in the shape of violence was in-
tended.

The Preuissische Staats Anzciger of the sth pub-
lishes the following letter from the Prince of PRUSSIA
to his royal brother :

"I respectfully inform your Majesty that, conform-
ably with the order communicated to me, I have left
London, and again arrived on the Continent. I hold
this period to be the most suitable one for openly ex-
pressing anew the sentimerts with which I return
home—sentiments which aro already known to your
Majesty. I fully entertain the hope that the free insti-
tutions, for the formal establishing of which your Ma-
jesty has now convoked the representatives of the peo-
ple, will, with God's gracious assistance, be developed
more and more for the prosperity of Prussia. Confi-
dently and loyally I shall devote all my power to the
furtherance of that development; and I anticipate the
moment when I shall acknowledge the constitution
which your Majesty is on the point of drawing up in
conjunction, after conscientious examination, with your
people—an acknowledgment which will render the con-
stitutional charter binding on the successor to the
t prone.

" Brussels, May, 30, 1848.
(Signed) " PRINCE OF PRUSSIA.'
