Poles and he proposed to the Ministry Mt Berlin
either to deliver up ell the Poles to Russia or TO at
terly an1ibilate them Thenoble minded Germans
were greatly dispIeased at these acts, and de-
bounced them in their letters and proclamatlons
On the 23d of October, the National Prussian
Assembly at Berlin, in spite Of the decision of the
Parliament at Frankfort declared itself against
the annexation Of the Grand Duchy of Posen TO
the Germ an Empire. The Parliament itself soon
lost sight of the Polish cause Meanwhile in
Posen the Government did nil in their power to
humilnte and crush the Poles, while the song
of German Unity still resounded as loudly and
lie German cockade was worn by as many as
formerly The soldiers, from abusing the Poles,
began to be insoleut even to their own officers,
so that it was found necessary bring them under
stricter discipline. Bat soon the spirit of Free
dom subsidized. The assembly at B ern were dis
persed at the point of the bayonet aud the Parlia-
ment at Frankfort compelled to seek bettershel-
ter than the church Of St. Paul. On the sth of Dec.
4s,the King ofPrussia gave his people new Con
stitution in accordance with which new Assem-
bly, was called at Berlin, but being toolibera in its
views, it also was dissolved. Meanwhile the
Grand Duchy had received no relief Trials by
Jury were commenced, but although the Govern
ment formed the panels yet it was dispieased
with their decisions. The state OF seige however
vas limited to the city of Posen, Domestic
Perouistions were abolished, and the Press enjoy
ed greater liberty.
The Polish League formed with the full
consent OF the Government. Its objects were
the encouragement of Polish industry; the relief
of the needy in times of scarcity and pub
lie failure the recifcaton Of all falsehoods and
SANDERS legal recamations against all injustice
by means of national representatives. and the
protection of the Polish language. 1t first gave
ofense TO the subalterns and petty officers, then
to the higher officers of Posen, and lastly to the
Ministry itself There was not, however time
enough to pass any law against it through the
second Assembly. Although the second Assem-
bly was dissolved without the Poles having OBJ
tanned ANYTHING from the Government but the
hope that they would be called upon to elect for
the third Assembly, yet they did not loae their
patience. The third Assembly at Berlin spent
maby months discussing the Constitution ofthe 9Th
of December, which they at last accepted, with
few changes. 1t was declared that the Grand
Duchy of Posen could expect nothing but TO be
incorporated into Germany; and that the Ian
guage and religion should be respected as much
as the Government thought proper. Lately the
Government has developed its plans more fully
1t aims to satisfy the Metz Jretaern, the most i'm
placable enemies OF Poland. Military rule takes
larger hold here than in other parts of Poland,
but vet some still praise the equity of the Prus-
sian Government. AS lately as last August the
citizens of Stettn sent delegation to Posen to
form new ties ofbrotherhood with its inhabitants
but the police by their interpostion rendered the
mission of no avail.
