PRUSSIA.

For the third time King William Of Prussia
has sent home the representatives of the people
with the marked expression OF his royal ds-
pleasure. Twice the Government had appealed
from the majority of the Chamber OF Deputies to
the people for vote of concurrence with its
policy; twice oil the means that the most nm
scrupulous and despodc Government can de-
| wise for intimid0ting tho electors, including
even threat Of deposition against every public
officer who should refuse to vote tho Govern
ment ticket was resortcd to; but all in vain
l. is conclusive proof Of both the political IN
telligence and the unhinchng firinness Of the
Prusssn people, that they quietly mtrusted
third time the same representatives with the
protection of their rights.
The new Chamber did not make to the Gov.
eminent factious opposition. 1t cooperated
with the Government for a renewal OF the Ger.
man ZoIlverein, the conclusion OF commercial
treaties with France and Austria, with England
and Belgium, for new mining law, for the
construction OF railways and number Of other
useful and salutary laws. But it could not
conscentiously yield it, opposition to the mill
tary law, and TO the adoption Of the budget pro-
posed by the Government.
A new difficulty arose between tho Govern
ment and this new Chamber. With per6dy
which has few equals even in the annals of
European monarchies, Herr Won Bismarck
gradually revealed The intentions Of the Gov.
eminent 10 annex tie duchles Of Schleswig-
Holstcin TO Prussia, in spite of the
lclearly-expreased wishes of tho immense
majority Of the population, and of the
earnest circumstances of most Of the
German States. To this iniquitous work the
Chambers were invited TO lend cooperating
hand. The Conservatives, the sticklers to
the letter Of the law, felt no hesitation
in supporting the lawless proposition, but
the majority Indignantly refused to have any
thing 70 DO with it, hut on the contrary insisted
thai the right of the Duclies and the will Of the
population be religiously respected. Their firm
ness forms the last and most serious count in
the charge, which Herr Won Bismarck, in closing
the Parliament on June u, brought against The
House Of Delegates. He was, on this question,
the more incensed against the representatives Of
the people, as amember of the Committee had
disclosed the fact that Bismarck, in his negoia-
tons with the Committee, expressed joy at
having at least cheated the Austrians."
Some other profound notifications had been
suffered by the unfortunate Premier at the hands
Of this Chamber. One Of the leading members
of the Liberal Opposition, Prof virchow of
Berlin, had dealt such hesvy blows al the rcpu-
tation Of Bismarck, that the latter could not re-
strain himself from challenging his opponent.
This summons Prof Virchow, by the advice of
his whole party, declined. To aycnge the
minister, the Upper House proposed that "a in
furious expressions" uttered in debate should DO
punishable by the law of the land.
The President Of the Chamber Of Deputies,
Herr Grabow, replied to the insolent speech
with which Bismarck closed the Diet. by words
of manly frmness. They were firmor even than
those uttered on the two previous occasions
