United States, for the district ofMassa-
chusetts, in the courthouse, and did
overcome the said officers, and did, by

arrested as fugitive slave, and then and

outrages did commit in violation of law.
Now, therefore, to the end that the

them brought to Immediate and condign
punishment, have issued this my proc

citizens to rally to the support of the
laws of their country, and requiring and
commanding all officers, civil and mil
tary, and all other persons, civil or mil
itary, who shall be found within the Vi

tions, and assisting the marshal and his
deputies in recapturing the above-men-

Mn. WRusrER's LETTER IN PRUSSIA.
A letter from the Berlin correspondent
of the Philadelphia Bulletin, dated Jan.
10th, contains the following:
The steamer has just brought us that
spicy correspondence between Webster
and the Austrian Minister. 1t has been
received with shout of laughter almost
from half Europe. The sDaily .Nems' of
London has all the best parts of it, and
thinks ii introduces new era in dipIo.
matte correspondence that ''the
decorous conventionalities," of Vienna,
will be slightly disturbed thereby. The
great organ Of the democratic party in
Prussia, the National Zeitung,' pub
fishes the great part of it with infinite
zest, especially where the contrast is
drawn so subtly and dcxteriously, be-
tween The war of Hungary and that of
the Revolution--and the general opinion
seems to be, that the Austrian minister
has slightly "llama1 stch"-made fool
ofhimsey!

Newark, Del, will be dedicated on
