HAMBURG PAPERS.

BERLIN, Nov. 26.—1 n our military administra-
tion, every thing is as still as if we were in the midst
of the most profound peace. Prussia is armed and
prepared for every event. More care has been taken
this time in calling the landwehr together than at
the beginning of the Polish revolution, or on the
breaking out of the cholera there in the middle of
harvest.

Fathers of families, heads of manufactories, and
land-owners, without discrimination, were included
in the levy, by which confusion was caused. The
police are, therefore, now busy in the whole kingdom
in finding out those who can be best spared, and
every one is called upon to state himself the ob-
stacles which may prevent him from being among
the first defenders of the country. This measure is
said to originate with the King himself, and does
honour to his humanity.
There is a report that the Duke of Saxe Coburg
Gotha will cede the province of Lichtenburg to
Prussia in exchange for his domains. The negotia-
tions between Prussia and the Prince in Tlauningen
are also said to proceed favourably ; and, unless un-
foreseen circumstances should intervene, will pro-
bably be soon concluded.

The account of the appointment of General Groll-
man to the office of Minister of War seems to be
confirmed ; and it is supposed that, if war should
break out, he will be placed at the head of the staff
of the army in the field, still retaining his high
office. The chief command, as we learn from good
authority, would not be given to Duke Charles of
Mecklenburg, out to Prince Augustus, the King's
uncle, who is not only higher in point of rank, but
has many qualities well calculated to gain the confi-
dence of the army. His campaigns acquired him a
high reputation for judgment as well as for resolution
and valour, and be has the praise of having brought
the Prussian artillery, at the head of which he has
been for many years, to a degree of perfection uni-
versally acknowledged.
His Majesty the Emperor of Russia issued, on
the 15th, an Ukase relative to Poland, of which the
following is the preamble :
" In order the more speedily to bury in oblivion
the troubles which in the course of last year dis-
turbed the Western Governments, his Majesty has
thought fit to extend new marks of his imperial
clemency to those natives of the country who were
not among the ringleaders, but failed in their duty

rather through emit and evil suggebtiona than with
had designs; and at the same time to take measures
to diminish as much as possible the number of causes
pending in consequence of the rebellion, and to hasten
their decision. It is therefore ordered, &c."
The following is the substance of the articles of
the Ukase :—" 1. All causes of this description ac
wally pending to be continued, but no new matter
to be gone into, should such occur in the depositions
of witnesses or otherwise, unless it should relate to
hitherto unknown ringleaders. 2. All those per-
sons who, according to their participation in the re-
' hellion, belong to the third class of criminals, with-
out any exception, to be pardoned ; including even
those who are already before the tribunals; and all
proceedings against them to be quashed, even
should any of them happen to have returned after
the expiration of the time granted. 3. To refer all
proceedings and judgments relative to the second
class of the rrbels (except those already sent to the
Commander.in-Chief of the first army) to the re-
spective military Governors in the province of
Minsk, where there is no such officer, to the Civil
Governor, to be examined and confirmed. 4. To
authorize those highest local authorities, when the
moral guilt of any criminal of this class is lessened
by particular circumstances, to apply to his Im-
perial Majesty to relieve them from the proceedings
against them, and the confiscation of the property,
or for the commutation or entire remission of the
punishment pronounced against them by the tri-
bunals." The sth, 6th, 7th, and Bth confirm, with
some exceptions, the mode of proceeding hitherto
followed, and the judgments already passed and con-
firmed in the last instance.
The Prussian State Gazette, to Nov. 29 inclusive,
contains no political news relative to Prussia.
