Foreign Correspondence of The Tribune.
BERLIN July II, ls45.
Berlin is at this moment what it always has been
in summer,-hot deserted dusty, and intoeraby dull
1t is nearly the old colorless somniferous mixture Of
white beer comfortable drowsness and garden amuse
ment Even young Liberty, and the political excite
ment newly awakened, have not been able to prevent
the of this annual dstemper so unreasonable at
this time The rapid succession of existing events
has given way enervating relaxation. The Govern
ment and the public unctonares have taken advantage
of this state of relaxation, and exercise an arbitrary
power which in the zenith Of absolute monarchy they
burst not have manifested and give themselves up
to the mad hope that they could still suppress move
men which necessary breathingis to human life
by causing partisan and corrupt judges to condemn
few individuals who far from having made the revolu
ton were the contrary, made by It. They are blind
enough TO that none but they themselves have
made it for it may be taken for granted that whenever
Government requresa restricted application OF violent
means to maintain itself that Government Is guilty OF
the spirit of discomfort and nsurrecton against which
il assumes an air of vrtuous Indignation In the United
States no armies are wanted TO maintain respect for
the laws for this reason that the laws deserving Of
guilty above everything strenuously support the Gov
eminent in these praiseworthy endeavors to bring
about new Revolution which certainly will not fall into
the error of the fret viz of leaving all the public unc
tonares undisturbed in their places by which
has become possible to render all the newly acquired
liberties mere delusion.
An instance of what has become of the free night Of
assembling n such hands may be found in the follow
ing extracts of general order issued the 9th inst
by the Commander of the eth corps darmes
a.. however still doubts have been raised regard
ing the manner Of exercising the night Of assocision,
hereby make known on the authority OF be existing laws
that what published the let OF Nav 10 the exercise
of the fight Of petition and which has received he assent Of
the higher authorities upon the whole be applied 10 the
right OF association The soldier exercises this right 10 lis
fullest extent lie does every other night IT, however
the soldier takes part associations that nculcae the
throw Of the existing legal order Of hngs he beusys the
duty of his service and his oath,he must keep himself
aloOf from such associations" &c.
In the way all the public iuncuonaries, who
attend public meetings. are persecuted with the most
violent luminosity. The fact Of Messrs. femme and
Kirchman, Attorney sGeneral, having been removed
from their place for declining to prosecute persons
offensive to the Government against whom there we're
loyal reasons for accusation, Will shed sufficient
light upon the and characters of the liberty
pouring ts blessings upon Prussia In all the provinces
numbers OF citizens condemned every day TO the
loss of their liberty for months and for years.
The " RseiHische ZoiiaH9" relates the following on
case OF this kind, in which seis party concerned
" Yesterday IL compositors on our journa! and Mr..
Clouth were summoned 10 appear on Tuesday the
llth of July witnesses at the Office OF the Judge OF
Instruction The object still Is 10 find the author
of the incrimnated article. We recolect that in the
time of the old " Rhcinische ZeifHH9 in the time Of
the Censorship and of Herr Arnins Ministry when il
intended 10 find out the author OF the famous
draft of marriage law" neither domiciliary re-
search the examination OF the compositors and the
proprietor of the printing establishment orted
to- Il must however, be acknowledged that since that
time we have had Revolution that has had the mis-
fortune of being recognized by Mr. Hansemann"
The way in which the reorganization OF Poland Is
understood, may be seen by the following document,
presented TO the Criminal Court OF Posen.
