The Austrian Government has protested against
the attitude assumed by Prussia in behalf of the
constitutional liberties of Hesse-Cassel, and has deter-
mined to support the ELECTOR in his illegal usur-
pations, for which purpose an alliance, offensive and
defensive, has been concluded between Austria,
Bavaria, and Wirtemburg. The Ministry of Elec-
toral Hesse has addressed the following note to the
Prussian Chargé d'Affaires :
" The Charge d'Affaires of the Bing of Prussia has
informed the Hessian Ministry that his Government
will not tolerate any intervention of the Germanic
Diet in Electoral Hesse. The undersigned has been
the more surprised at this as this proceeding is
not based on any law, and Prussia dues not
show what will be her ulterior proceedings. The
Hessian Government, convinced of its legality, con-
sider itself not only authorised, but compelled to
invoke the Federal Pact until it is abolished. If the
Prussian Government refuses to acknowledge the Re-
stricted Federal Council as an organ of the confedera-
tion, it cannot least deny to the States of Germany,
who do acknowledge it, the liberty of enforcing its re-
solutions in their respective territories. According to
the Federal Pan, every German Govenment can hinder
any other Government from interfering in its internal
affairs without its consent. Although the Prussian
Charge d'Affaires has not stated what ulterior measures
his Government proposes to take, the Hessian Govern-
ment confidently hopes that the Prussian Gr.veroment
will acknowledge the fundamental laws of the Confe-
deration, and not interfere •spontaneously in the affairs
of Hesse-Cassel, and especially refrain from sending an
army into it, against which the Hessian Government
would be under the necessity of protesting.

" PROCLAMATION 01P THE GENERAL-IN-OHIEF.
" After having withdrawn from the military service,
and retired into private life three years past, and since
March, 1848, quietly looked onupon
many passing
events contrary to sentiments of a -faithful hessian, I
am now named by his Royal
Highness the Elector
thus most unexpectedly to the functions of Com-
maeder-in-Chief in our country for the duration of
martial law, and am vested with extended powers to
restore legal order in the state machinery, and to
crush (brechen) the disregard of duty of the Chamber,
exemplified in refusing
taxes requisite for the wants of
the State, as well as all opposition against the constitu-
tional ordinances of the Sovereign, produced by the
pretensions and provocations of the Permanent Commit
tee. When L a veteran of seventy-one years of age,
willingly obey the summons of ray Sovereign, and ex-
change myself-elected private tranquillity for the cares
and labours of an officer, considered dishonourable in
the eyes of seducers and seduced, all men may deduce
therefrom the clearest proof that I am convinced of
Highness, and that I will respond
the
h thel confidence by
y aol tyh and constitutionality of the measures
adoptedi ces t Royal
placed in tale by my Sovereign
without the slightest fear of mortal men (menschenfursht),
with zeal and stringency—as regards all opponents, be
they passive or active—as shall teach them that I, firmly
relying on the support of Almighty God, will, although
an aged man, know how to wield the powers entrusted
