broiis between the people and soldiery,l
asita,ed Berlin during the evening Of the
nth. and some subsequent evenings o.
this month. The commencement OF the
tumult is attributed 10 the official, as wen
as in private accounts. TO drunken squad
BILE between some workmen and the keeper
Of tavern, when The latter called 10 Inc
assistance OF the military guard, and caus-
ed his antagonists TO be arrested. Inc
seizure Of these men collected crowd OF
their comrades aid other persons, VINO
undertook to rescue them. The troops
used their arms to drive off the crowd,
but were themselves repulsed. Other
troops came to their assistance, but the
peoule were again victorious. Geo. Tau
euzien, and the Gen. ComnaudsHt Bfaa-
chaetieid, found il necessary to bring INTO
action the horse gendarmes, by whom the
multitude was at length dispersed. This
occurrence took place on the evening oil
| the Blth, but for some succeeding evenings
the people again assembled 10 the streets.
The public authorities, civil aud militia
| ry, adopted the most vigorous measures
20 prevent a renewal OF the ontrages, and
lit will be seen in our extracts from the
Hamburger papers, that an order Of police
was issued in Berlin on the l3ih, TO profi-
bit all meetings in the streets, even Tor the
most innocent purposes. II is stated that
several persons were wounded III the cou-
test. No doubt, we think, can be enter
tanned. that the spirit which animated the
people Of Berlin to so very novel pro.
ceedipg in the Prussiau dominions as an
attack upon the majesty of the military
power, is to be traced TO the animaiing
principle Of political independence which
is now making rapid strides throughout
the world. The King Of Prussia has been
too Ioug amusing bis subjects with the
hopes of free constitution, TO flat,er him
self that he can much longer withhold it
from their enjoy meui.
In the mean time We find the King OF
Spain the object Of the most enthusiastic
popularity. Whenever he appears among
his people his presence is greeted by the
acclamatioas Of thousands. His majesty
is said TO feel sensibly the hsppiaess OF
The change that has been effected 10 his
situation. The people Of Spain mark hi
every way their enthusiasm for the consii-
tuition, and even every article OF fashiona-
BILE dress now bears The distinctive aPella-
lion of La Consultation.

doing there, and TO whom he belonged 2
To this latter question the slave answer
