tirely disregarded. The general attention be-
ing directed TO the progress OF the French rev.
olution.
Operations on the Bourse are altogether sus-
pended. The stoppage of the Commercial and
Royal banks created the greatest CONSERVATION
Commercial transactions are almost entirely
suspended. Confidence is totally destroyed by
the announcement that two large bankers re-
fused assistance to the public in discounts. So
universal was distrust ameng the commercial
classes, thata deputalion of bankers and mer-
chants sought an interview with the minister,

Prussia. are happy to announce that
the conduct of the King of Prussia in regard
to the French republic is precisely what might
have been expected from a monarch who has
shewn himself animated BY so constitutional
spirit at home-who, while he governs his

The Governor of the Rhine. in the province
of Herr Eichman, promised to forward to the
King of Prussia the suggestions and views OF
several members of the United Diet-chiefly
the representatives of that province, respecting
the reforms and concessions called for under

A corrrsp ondent, writing from Cologne
states that the middle classes of Prussia, and
other Rhenish States, are determined to achieve
their independence. and will at all hazards have
a voice in the Government. They are peace
ful, but devoted to their country and firm in
Hphoiding their liberties. Theirs is no new
resolution rashly formed, but one which has
been well considered and delibe raely planned.
Therefore they have waited with German
patience, knowing that the hour had not yet
come.
