PRUSSIA. 1
. i EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER, DATED OCT. 13 1
" I find, in many parts of the Prussian dominions,
' the inhabitants restive and uneasy. The delay of the ,
.' . King in fulfilling his promise to bless the people with ,
, . a lime Constitution, is a continual cause of discontent: '
They urge, and I think justly, that, even admitting '
4 the sing to be the best judge of the time when this I
boon ought to be given, he is not immortal ; his death r
i Ili would cancel the promiv, and they should remain i
slaves still. This being the case, instead of dismissing
• . 'the application of his faithful and brave people with 1
haughty dignity, it is his duty to point out to them I
what particular combination of circumstances renders I
• the present time pee iliarly unfavourable for granting
them a free Constitution. If be can shew some good ,
• cause, it will satisfy many; if no good cause exists, it z
i
v. is a poop return for all their services thus to play with
their ardent desires after freedom. When the throne
'
was in danger, the King gave his promise without re- (
serve; when he thinks himself in safety, be casts it ,
1 1 into the tide of futurity, which will probably never ,
.
1 . land-the blessings ,be promised on the
.soil of Prussia.
I 0 Besides the above ever-active cause of aiscoliteb 1
i
some new regulations which his Majesty has lately 1
1' • s
circuhted, regarding service in the Army, which 'are 1
thought excessively rigid, produces considerable agita:
. . .
, .. • tiois. Every individual, whatever his situation. in life
may be, from the age of 20 to 40, is declared to be a
i 1 't
. soldier. If his age be from '2O to 25, he is enrolled in
the regular Army. If from 25 to 32, he belongs to the
first Militia. If from 32 to 40, he is placed in the
second Militia. Of course these regulations affect the
' - comfort and happiness of a large portion of the inha;
• bitants of Prussia ; the general feelin respecting them
• is very keen ; and when the people think they can in-
dulge themselves with safety, they express their feel-
ings with little reserve.
v, I think the Prussian Government would do well
0., . to tread warily at present, and consult the wishes of
the people, by fulfilling a promise made by the
highest authority, in the most solemn manner, and
..
on a most interesting occasion. It it does not, and
that speedily, I think in all probability it will have
', cause to regret its present course of proceeding.
• t \ i 1 "In truth, whatever measuretis adopted of an un-
popular character,' however necessary, will be called
11 i arbitrary or unfeeling, till the King fulfils-his pr0.•14
.•14 . ‘ vise; and no one who has been of late in Prussia will
deny that nothing is more calculated than procrasti-
-1 ' nation in this matter to estrange the affeeuces of the
people from their Sovereign.
