Blount, it appeared that the suspension was owing to
the firm having endorsed to a large amount the bons
of the Paris to Rouen and Rouen to Havre Rail-
ways, which, in consequence of the crhis, could no
longer be negoitated ; that the assets of the firm were
far superior to the liabilities; and that, if time were
given every creditor would be paid in full. It was then
agreed to unanimously, that as the creditors had perfect
confidence in M. C. Laffitte and M. E. Blount, the duty
of liquidating the affairs of the house should be entrusted
to these gentlemen; that all creditors, under 500 f.,
should be paid off immediately; and that whilst the
operation of liquidating the affairs was going on, MM.
C. Laffitte, Blount, and Co., should be permitted to con-
tinue their banking business, properly so called. It was
next proposed that three of the principal creditors should
be appointed to form a committee of surveillance; but
this was objected to by M. A. Fould, on the ground that
it was not advisable to trammel the operations of M. C.
Laffitte and M. E. Blount unnecessarily, and that if any
committee were appointed it should be merely one for
the purpose of affording counsel. This suggestion was
acquiesced in. Viscount Denis Benoist, M. Guerrero,
and M. Calley de St. Paul wero accordingly nominated.
The meeting then broke up."

PRUSSIA.

Accounts from Berlin are to the 26th, at which
period not only was the city perfectly tranquil, but
the Kula was more popular than ever he had been.
His Majesty started for Potsdam on the morning of
the 25th, where the magistrates and the inhabitants
received him with great enthusiasm. The public could
scarcely be prevented from taking the horses from
the KING'S carriage and drawing it themselves. The
KING addressed the people and the officers of
the Potsdam garrison, and returned to Berlin about
noon.

The speech of his MAJESTY, while acknowledging
the faithfulness of the troops, was chiefly meant to
exhort the army to follow the royal example, and
to join the national party with heart and soul. The
answer of the officers, in the name of the troops,
was full of devotion and enthusiasm for the good
cause.

The attempts to establish a Republic in Prussia
have all signally failed.
" We are satisfied," say the Berlin people, " with a
tree monarchical Government, and we want no more;
and wa have had enough of bloodshed not to require
any more in the cause which we uphold ; but if such a
sacrifice is required we will shed it in defence of what
we have already gained and for the protection of the
throne of Prussia."

The Cologne Gaselte of the 24th has the following
in reference to the irruption of German Republicans
from France :

" TO OUR BRETHREN IN SOUTHERN GERMANY.

" We learn this moment that the German conspirators
of Paris, a few hundred in numher, reinforced by about
300 Frenchmen and Poles, have set out for Strasburg
with the intention to enter Southern Germany and to
proclaim the Republic.
" We exhort all well-wishers of Germany, France,
and Poland to refuse their aid to this senseless attempt;
and we advise all brave men and patriots to oppose it
by every possible means in their power.
" The Republic, the gift of this mob, will be driven
back over the same frontier, over which a cursed hand
hurls them now, as a torch flung into the national move-
ment of Germany. The Republic of the Destructives
would draw the war from the frontiers of Russia to those
of France, and its last consequence would be a mortal
combat between France and Germany. We fear this
lest result less for Germany than we do for France, and
we hold these daring Destructives to be the most dan-
gerous enemies of France in particular, and of the
cause which France, though in a wrong way, defends.
" Whoever has a heart for Germany, for Poland, for
France, will feel it his holy duty to prevent the forma-
tion of a separate league (Sonderhund), however repub-
lican, however popular it may be, for such a league
would endanger the future of liberty, of order, and of oar
popular welfare.
" The decision, whether Germany must sooner or
later be a republic, belongs to all Germany. It must
be decided at Berlin and Frankfort. But we pledge our
blood, our lives, and our property, that this decision shall
never come either from Paris or from the German sepa-
ratists (sonderbandler) in Germany."
The Prussian State Gazette of the 26th instant,
publishes the following :
" A deputation from Posen, headed by the Archbishop
Ton Przyluski, has petitioned the King to allow a na-
tional re-organization of the Grand Duchy of Posen to
develop itself immediately,, but in a quiet and legal
manner, under his Majesty 5 protection. The deputa-
tion gave their advice as to the proper means for accom-
plishing. this end ; and further petitioned that a pro-
visional commission should be formed, consisting of men
who enjoyed the public confidence. Ills Majesty was
pleased to accede to the wishes of the deputation, and
published the following proclamation :
" 'TO THE DEPUTATION FROM THE GRAND DUCEY OF
