PRUSSIA.
The Republic Proclaimed.
From Galignani's Messenger, March "a.

From Galignani's Messenger, March "a.
A Geographic dispatch, dated Metz, yestef
day, states that Republic had been proclaim
ed at Berlin. The King had been dethroned
and His Majesty and ministers arrested.
This news is confirmed in the Paris Com
merce Of the25th. That paper says:
This time the fact is official; the telegraphic
dispatch which we add to this, addressed tc
tue Provisional Government and posted at the
BOurse, leaves no doubt of the authenticity Of
the communication.
We read as follows in the Patrie:
ave have received from an authentic
source some details relative to the terrible
scene in front of the royal palace in Berlin on
the 18th. The people, not content with ma
king the King descend from his apartments
and take off his hat before the victims who had
fallen, compelled him to place his hand on the
hearts Of several, saying, Here are hearts
which few hours ago beat for you; but which
have been pierced by the balls of your SOL
diery"'.
We learn from Berlin, under date of the
10th, that all the Polish prisoners in that city
have been set at liberty. They went in pro-
cession to the palace, and the King appeared
on the balcony and bowed to them. NJ. Mier-
oslawski was in carriage, the horses of which
were taken off by the people, who supplied
their places, ut ering loud acclamations.
The Cologne Gazette Of the Path ult. has ac-
counts from Berlin up to the evening of the
23I; at that time the Capital was Tranquil, and
the ceremony of the internent of the victims
of the Revolution had gone off without the
slightest interruption of order The King was
not present at this ceremony, but all the au-
thorities attended it. 7 he date of these ac-
counts throws doubt over the news received
yesterday from Metz, of the proclamation of
Republic at Berlin.
The Universal Gazette Of Prussia, of the 23d
states that the King had placed the properties
of the State, including the military stores des-
tined TO be employed for the defence of the
country against foreign foes, under the protec-
ton Of the citizens and inhabitants of Berlin.
1t also states that the king had ordered that
the pledges not exceeding 5 tbalers in the
pawnbroking establishments should be given
up at the cost of the Treasury. A Committee
had been formed for receiving donations on
behalf Of those who were wounded, and of the
widows and children of the slain in the recent
events The Gazette announces that in conse-
quence Of its compositors being DESTROYS of
attending the funeral of the victims, which took
place on the previous day, it had been obliged
to 90 to press early
