INTERESTING FROM GERMANY.
| PRUssIAN MANIFESTO IN Defence OF HER wAH
POLICY.
The following despatch was addressed by the
Prussian government to its representatives at the
Courts of London and St. Petersburg:
| BERLIN, June "a, 1853.
The rapidity with which, for some time, military
and political events have followed one another in
| Italy, the downfall of the governments of Tuscany
Parma and Modena, the risings which have taken

certainty which prevails in all minds about the
probable duration and extension of the struggle in
| which two powerful empires are now engaged
have induced the government of the King, from
motives of precaution and respect to its own dig
| nifty, to mobilize part of the Prussan army.
The excitement which has seized upon Germany
the approach, daily becoming closer, of the bellige
rents, to the German frontier and the possible
we in the most honest and disinterested way at
| tempted to prevent by our advice, would in them
selves have been sufficient to justify measures o
| military precautiOn part, which, after all
but correspond to similar the part of all oul
! neighbors.
On the other hand, you will conceive that we hat
to place ourselves in position to watch the marcel
of events whose final result might tend to alter th
balance of power in Europe by weakening an EN-
| pire with which we connected by the German
Federal tie and by damaging (Beeintrachtigung
the foundations of public law to whose establish
ment we have contributed, and whose preservation
is In the interest of the whole family of States il
! Europe.
The position which we have thought fit to tax,
! up is in no nay prejudcial to the Italian question
and the various interests therein involved. Bu
the Prince Regent, conscious of his rights, and 0
the duties imposed upon him by the interest of hi
own dignity, and by that of his country and o
Germany in general, certainly cannot be expected
to refrain from exercising such influence as he ha
aust claim to- nor to approve from the outset, by
standing inactively by, of whatever changes have
taken place, and might take place. in the territOria
divisions of a country, connected by such numer
ties with the remainder of the European family
| of nations.
Nevertheless, it would be wrong to ascribe to tn,
| Kings Government wish to add to the dangers o
the situation, already great enough in themselves
by ill-tmed aud arbitrary interference, and to at
tempt to utforh (in den VOrdengrundzu steien zone
sidedly and without previous appeal to other Pow
ers, any solution of question involving too numer
Gus interests not to be- for the sake Of the genera
welfare, legitimate object of the common solici
tude of all the Great Powers. Far from that, Prus
sia can presume no other aim, in using her nfu
ence and rendering her advice than that which sh
pursued short time since, acting in harmony witt
England and Russia; nor she entertain an
other wish but to bring back to the stage of nego
tiation, for the sake of effectng solution, just il
every direction, and including guarantees of per
manence, question which only mistakes, much II
be regretted, have alenated from basis that Eu
rope may and ought to look to as soon as the grea
principles of its political and social order a
stake.
Our military preparations, repeat have no eth
er object. They are indicative of no new policy OF
our part, and assuredly not of desire to add nev
complications to those once hoped to be able t
prevent, and whose development we since hav
uniterruptedly watched with sorrow and affcton
What We want is simply peace, and starting from
this we address ourselves with unreserved conf
dence to the Cabinets of London and ST. Peters
burg, in order to try to devise in cooperation wit
them, means to put stop to the carnage, and earl
to restore to Europe the tranquility and securit
which its moral and material interests so loud
demand ..
| 1t is matter of notoriety how deeply we hav
lamented the nefarious (unheilroUen) resolve, an
how energetically uave disapproved of it tina
resolve by which the Cabinet of Vienna, at tn
very moment when the other Powers were engage
in laying down the foundations of equitable sc
luton, produced that rupture which we had hope
to avert by common action. But in spite of thi
fault we are nevertheless, of opinion that Europe
: and Germany in particular, cannot look with in
difference on the reduction of Power, which, b,
virtue of its geographical position and the pecu
arites of its composition, has always been regarde
as an essential element and natural guarantee c
the general balance of power.
Still clinging to this view, it is nevertheless ia
from our mind to moderate the difficulties whic
are in the way of a simple restoration of state
things that has not merely led to a war, but to
series of instructions, which have seized by d.
grees upon Northern and Central Italy; and we bt

more effective and far juster means of preservin
order and tranquility in those States than thes
measures of despOtism and that display of mtar

We are besides of opinion that the treatit
through which Austria exercises kind of prote

placed by combination less hateful to the feeling
of the people, and that order and law, withoI
which welfare and progress are impossible, can r
