PROCLAMATION OF TIE KING OF PRUSSIA,
The following is the proclamation Of the King Of
Prussia:
"Fo NV PEorLE--Under the prelext of The cause
OF Germany, the enemies of our laherland have
raised the standard Of revolt first in neighboring
Saxony, and then in various parts of southern Gel
many. TO my great grief, some misguided men
have allowed themselves TO be mised in some dis
tricts ot our land 10 follow this standard and to
stand in open rebellion against the legal authorities
and sacred and human laws.
"ln serious time OF danger, il becomes me to
speak plain word TO my people.
81 could not give an affirmative answer To The
offer OF crown on the part OF the German National
Assembly, because the Assembly had the right TO
confer the crown which II offered me- without the
sanction Of the German governments and because 1t
was offered TO me condilionally, upon the accept
ance of constitution not compatible with the rights
and safety of the German States
81 have In vain tried and exhausted every means
to come TO agreement with the German National
Assembly; have in vain endeavored 10 lead it back
TO the boundaries Of its calling and Of right which
did not consist in absolute and supreme power but
in the putting together OF German constitution;
and after the failure of all my endeavors did
not break with the Assembly, still nonrishng the
hope Of final and peaceful solution.
'But now that the Assembly, by degrees which
were in vain opposed by men Of Judgment, has left
the ground OF right of law and Of duty-w when 1t has
accused us of a breach of peace because we gave
efficient assistance TO neghbor in the hour Of dan
ger--when II has raised call to arms against u.s.
