Passpofss % Prussia.

Yesterday we had an article on the subject
of '.Naturalized American citizens" and re-
viewing Secretdry Marcy's positionin contrast
with that Of President Pierce's Inaugu-
raj which relates to American citizens. We
showed by Marcy's own words, naturalized
American citizens abroad, could expect ne
assistance from the Pierce Administration il
they got into difficulty BY visiting their ma
tive countries, even Oh legitimate business.
But it appears the Pfussan Embassy has
been authorised to notify citizens Of the U. s.,
that with the proper passports procured at
Washington, they may have the blessed libef-
ty of entering Prussia without their passports
being endorsed by the Embassy or Consul.
Whether they will ever be allowed to get out
of Prussia without paying the military fine,
is not stated. Those persons who have
come to this country from Prussia, and are
not yet citizens, must apply to the district in
Prussia whence they came, and the District
Court, is authorized to give hem passport,
if"no suspicion prevails against .hem." From
what we learn by conversation with Germans
here, this last clause will pretty effectually
neutralize the apparent liberality of the other
parts ofthe section. There are but few OF the
better class of Germans who have seen
fit to fee to this country, to realize the beau
ties and privileges Of true Republican Gov.
eminent, who are not regarded as objects of
suspicion by the Prussian Government. They
are at least regarded men, who detesting
despotism and loving perfect freedom Of soul
and body, may disseminate these American
principles while travelling in the old country,
and induce others to turn their eyes to this
land of freedom. In what other manner
could they become objects of suspicion.
The Prussian Consul at Cincinnati has 10.
