present state of things shows plainly that the GO
vernment Is once more determined TO resist the
movement made in claiming further privileges for
the people.

by the people, have already been taken.
General Won Wrangel, the hero in the Danish
war. has been appointed by the king as the COM
mander-lr-chief of the troops, stationed in and
about this city, the number of which now amounts
to over $4,000 men. The concentration of such
extraordinary military forces has occasIoned much
disquletude, as there is apparent reason for
THIS extreme measure except to support the policy
OF the government in the present critical state of
affairs. The excitement has been much in
creased by a proclamation of General Won Wran-
gel, In which he states that he has been APP
pointed by the king as the commander-in-chief
OF the troops, for the purpose of maintaining
public ORDER and offers his assistance whenever it
will become necessary to interfere with military
forces, at the same time, he exhorts the officers
and soldiers to take no part IN pohcel discussions
and not, to attend public meetings. All sorts of
reports have been spread In consequence of Cen
Won Wrangels and Gen. Won Pfdels appoint
ments. A military dictatorship, 1t Is said, has
been established, and the liberty of the people is
endangered as the government is about to resist
the free exercise of the rights of the people; and
malta! law will be proclaimed if any attempt shall
be made to oppose the government. Meanwhile.

BERLIN, Oct 2, lS4S.
The events which have taken place at Frankfort
and Cologne, and the revolutionary movements
still going on in the south of Germany have pro-
duced strong reaction in favor of the govern
ment, and of maintaining the public peace The
party which has just openly defied the laws of
public order, and endangered the lives of the re.
representatives. of the people, in the National Assem-
bly,, has lost the good opinion of the people by its
rash and mconsiderate acting. The radicals have
injured their own cause.-the cause of hberty--by
punglng headlong into a course of violence. and
attempting imprudently what 1t was impossible to
carry out under the then existing circumstances.
The conseque of these attempts is that action
has taken place In favor OF supporting the govern
ment to prevent the repetition of such serious dis
turbances OF the public peace. A sort of panic has
now seized the public mind, that further at.
tempts might be made by the same party to es-
tablish the republic; or, as 1t is believed, to
plunge the country into state of anarchy
The strlctest measures have been taken upon the
part OF the government in Germany to suppress all
revolutionary movements with efficient force
AS the Burgher Guard mas proved itself incapable,
on various occasions, to maintain public order and
has, at the insurrectlon at Cologne, even tax en-
part against the government, the duty of support
ing the authorities IS now Principally entrusted to
the military A military government, In fact, has
been established In Germany. Mar .ial law has
been proclaimed at Frankfort, Cologne, and in
different parts OF Wurtemburg and Baden Troops
are concentrated In every point, where an out
break, or even the attempt to resist the authorities
by word or deed, is apprehended. In this city,
which of late has obtained sort of character for
rows and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., and is regarded as
the seat OF the revolution, an army has been con-
centrated, superior In number to any which has
been here since the time of Napoleon. II is sta
ted that martial law will be proclaimed here.
and the city will be declared in state of siege
IN case any demonstration be attempted against
the government or the National Assembly
General Won Wrangel, the Prusslan Cavaignac,
then, it is said, will exercise modern tactics on
greater scale than has been done yet for the pur-
pose of settling all questions in dispute between
the people and the authorities. This report, which
has been circulated, and has done much to pro-
mote state of order and quiet in this city, has,
however, not lessened the excitement which pre-
walls here among the people. Outward tram
quilly is maintained by military force of sc, 900
men; but no number OF bayonets can assuage the
public excitement. The new ministry has sue
ceeded In obtaining majority in the Chamber,
and 1t is believed that 1t will be able to maintain
itself, favored as 1t now Is by the reaction which
has taken place for the support OF the government
In the sitting Of the National Assembly to-day,
the Minister Of the Interior, M. Eichmannr, COM
munlcated to the Chamber, that he had Just re-
ceIved the official intelligence that the state Of
