upon the new office to which his Majesty has appointed
us, and we wish to express our firm resolution ,to con-
tinue in the constitutional course which has been
adopted. We will protect the liberties which have been
guaranteed, and oppose reactionary movements in every
branch of the public service, among the civil classes as
well as among the military. The constitution which is
now being settled with the consent of the Crown will, I
trust, contribute to promote the great object which the
union of the Prussian and the German people is:destined
to accomplish, We are devoted to the promotion of the
interests of the Prussian people, but we shall not forget
that it is the duty of every Government to op-
pose anarchy, and that it is the desire of the whole
country that this duty should be fulfilled. We aro
aware that liberty must be united with order, and that it
is only thus that trade and agriculture can nourish. We
would hasten the work of the constitution as much as
lies in our power; and, besides the laws for the Burgher
Guard, we will soon propose others with respect to the
new orders for the communes, districts, and provinces.
We will maintain the rights and liberties of the people,
as well as the rights and the authority of the Crown. We
will communicate to you what you desire to know with
respect to the Administration, and notice your wishes.
At the same time we consider it our duty to protect the
rights of the Crown, which holds the executive power.
We enter upon our duty with a full consciousness of the
difficulties connected with it, but likewise with the hope
and confidence that a common feeling of patriotism will
promote unity amongst us."
The discussion whicb ensued was very animated, and
several questions were put by Herr KIRCHMANN as
to the appointment of General VoN WRANGEL to the
command of the troops, and as to the concentration of
the troops round Berlin. Vox PFEEL replied that
General VoN WRANGEL had been appointed Com-
mander-in-Chief of the troops, but that the concen-
tration of military forces in this city had no other
object than: to offer protection to the National As-
sembly, and to maintain public order, in case it were
not in the power of the Burgher Guard to do so.
A placard, evidently emanating from the National
Assembly, has been posted on the walls of the ca-
pital :

"Citizens and Inhabitants of Berlin,—A dark cloud
has arisen, which will probably menace and put in ques-
tion the existence of the INElLltniul Assembly, which re-
presents all the people—the cause of liberty—the cause
of the people. Fellow-citizens, in face of these dan-
gers, it is the sacred duty of every one cheerfully to
devote himselt to the cause of the people and of liberty.
"Let the people of Berlin calmly and silently, and
with the rigorous observance of legal order, watch the
progress of things, in order that they may in the sequel
act worthy of themselves. This, however, we declare—
that the National Assembly will know how to execute
its mission with immovable confidence, and will know
how to repel, under every circumstance, every attempt
at violence, it matters not when or from whence it
comes."

The Cologne Gazette has the following from
Berlin, 20th inst. :—" General DE WRANGEL has to-
day reviewed the troops of the garrison. He was
received with loud acclamations by the National
Guard under the command of M. RimrLER. After
the review he harangued the officers, and told them
that, in case of any outbreak, the troops would not
interfere until it was found that the civic guard were
unable to quell the disturbance. He said :
‘' The troops are good, their swords are well shar-
pened, and they have balls in their muskets. But they
are not armed against the people of Berlin : it is to pro-
tect them. We will act together ; no reaction, but
respect for order, the laws, and liberty. What
a pain it is to me to see grass grow in the
streets, houses deserted, the shops full of goods, but
without purchasers, and workmen without employment.
All this must be changed; I am about to bring wel-
fare with order. Anarchy must be overcome, that I
promise you, and a Wrangel rover broke his: word.
I see with pleasure the troops in such good condition;
you will maintain it se. The soldiers and the citizens
must be on a good understanding together. The citizens
are their parents, and have the same object in view, that
of maintaining the honour and the glory of Prussia, and
to found German unity with you. They are your
brethren, and they will not forget that in the ranks of
the army are to be found their brothers and their fathers.
I regret not to have seen the troops defile to-day before
his Majesty. The King is aware of the fatigues of the
service, and it is for that reason that he has granted
them an extra allowance. lam happy to be able to in-
form you of it."

The officers raised their caps, and gave three cheers
of " Long live the KING."
A Berlin latter states that General WILLIsEN has
left that city on a special mission to General
CAVAIGNAC, with whom he is personally acquainted,
having served in Algeria.
