" L--To HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OP

PRUSSIA.
"In replacing me in the direction of the affairs
of the Government during the year which has
elapsed since the commencement of my illness,
your Royal Highness has given me a great con-
solation, for which I return you my heartfelt
thanks. Now that I am, by God's will, still
prevented by the state of my health from de-
voting myself to the cares of government, and now
that the physicians have advised me to make a
journey during the winter in a southern climate, I
invite you, in consideration of the continued hin-
drance of governing myself, to exercise the Royal
power in my name as Regent, according to the in-
spirations of your conscience, and being responsi-
ble only to God, until the moment I shall be again
able myself to fulfil the duties of my Royal func-
tions, and beg of you to take the necessary mea-
sures to that effect. I reserve to myself to make
ulterior arrangements respecting those affairs of my
Royal house which concern my person.

" According to the tcnour of the Royal decrce
annexed, under date of the 7th inst., his Majesty
the King is prevented, in a permanent manner by
the illness which it has pleased God to afflict him
with, from devoting himself personally to the affairs
of the Government ; consequently his Majesty has
addressed to me an invitation to assume the Re-

gency.
" Consequently upon his Majesty's invitation,
and in virtue of the 56th Article of the Constitution
of the 31st January, 1850, I will assume, in my
quality as nearest Agnate to the Throne, the re-

gency of the kingdom and direct the Government
in the name of the King until the day when his

Majesty shall again be in a state to exercise the
Royal power himself.
" Conformably to the terms of the 56th Article
of the Constitution of the 31st January, 1850, I
have convoked, by the annexed ordonnance, the
two Chambers of the Diet of the Monarchy for the
20th of this month, .and I charge the Ministry of
State to bring this ordonnance to the knowledge of
the public through the official Gazette, as also the
Royal decree and this present order.

PARIS, SUNDAY.

The Emperor the day before yesterday examined
every part of the camp of Chalons in detail. His
Majesty visited the ambulances, the regimental
infirmaries, the baking establishment, tents and
wooden houses, and everywhere expressed his satis-
faction at the improvements effected since last year.
Yesterday the Emperor, again commanded the troops
at a grand field-day. The weather in the morning
was so lowering that fears were entertained that
the operations must be deferred, but at noon the
sun shone out, and the various manoeuvres ap-
pointed were gone through as previously intended.
Marshal Vaillant, Minister of War, and Marshal
the Duke de Malakoff, accompanied his Majesty,
and General Codritigton, Colonel Blanc, the
Spanish Colonel de Lacy, the Swiss Federal Colonel
Saladin, and other foreign officers, who have been
for some time visitors at the head-quarters of
Marshal Canrobert, formed part of the cortege.

The Empress left Paris this day at 12 o'clock
by the Strasbourg Railway for the camp of Cha-
lons. Her Majesty will return to Paris with the
Emperor on Tuesday.
Lieutenant-Colonel Faidherbe, Governor of Sene-
gal, will, it is said, soon arrive in Paris on leave of
absence, with a view to advise with Prince Napo-
leon respecting the new projects proposed for the

improvement of that colony.
