As many OF our readers may be i'll the same
difficulty under which We labor ourselves, viz of
not knowing what Prussia wishes to have the
world consider as the cause why she went to war,
we take pleasure in publishing the
pRUssIAN MANIFESTO.
The following is the full text # tho official state
ment as to the policy of Prussia i'll undertaking
the war: To clear up the mistakes promulgated
by the press i'll Judging the present political sltua-
tiop, and to remove the uncertainty and disquiet
thereby excited in the public mind, we Qhe Off
ciEl Staatsanzeger of July l3) are empowered to
make the following declaration
The treaty ALLEGATIONS existing between Prus-
sia and Italy render 1t impossible to conclude an
armistce or peace % VIII austria ss without the
could not but prevent Italy from accGding to the
one-sided desire of Austria for peace, expressed
solely for that purpose, by The acceptance OF
Venetia as gift, and from terminating the Italian
participation in the war.
Europe knows that no sordd desire of conquest
is the motive of Prussia in the great contest into
which she has been forced by Austria and her
federal allies What Prussia wishes to conquer
subserves the highest national aims, regards the
noblest national possessions. We demand for
eurity Of our future. But for Germany We re-
quire the establishment of political unity, at least
among the majority OF Germ IN races and States,
to put an end to the unworthy condition OF affairs
within her boundaries, which has 80 long de-
pressed and humiliated the reputation and power
Of the nation. in the fufliment OF this national
mission the majority of patriotic German princes
are upon the side of Prussia. Our people, how
ever, sacrifice blood and treasure for this lofty
task, and our sons in the army, under the leader
ship OF their royal master, are inspired by the
sacredness OF the great contest like fathers in
1S13
Wherever our troops penetrate into the enemy's
country they afford striking proof how strongly,
as bearers OF European civilization, they are i'm
bued with the consciousness that they do not
make war upon the peoples, but only against the
Governments which have in vain endeavored to in
cite their subjects to blind hatred against Prussia.
Wherever our flags wave for any period this hatred
gives place to nobler feelings towards us. Our
armies, however, accompanied by the sympathies
of the nation, sustained by tho consciousness of
their lofty mission, we'll know how to conquer and
to die for its attainment.

I'Huys On the eve Of the war. From what his
diplomatic representatives have lately given the
that, 40 far from arri;roving the Bismark pro-
efalnhH, @.n does not directly aim at annexa-
ton, but divides the military forces of the minor
States between Prussia and Bavaria, he still ad-
here's to the simpler plan of aggrandizing both
Prussia and Austria at the expense of some petty
potentates. The rest OF the petty ones he wishes
to form into separate union under his protecto-
rate.
In one ofmy previous letters it has been limited
that were this Government hard pressed by
France similar project might be embraced by
it, and rendered even moro acceptable to austria,
by including the destruction of Italy in the pro-
posed alliance. 1o such an extremity, however,
things have not yet attained. Prussia remains as
hostile to her Southern rival ever and the only
result the menacing attitude Of France has hithers
to elected is to accelerate the march of the victo-
rious army upon Olmutz, and to cause the dis
memberment Of the ancient empire to be received
among the avowed objects OF Count Bismark.
By his acts and words lie ia positively beginning
to intimate that II more severe measures were
einr.o,eu against him he would not scrupie 10
calf the dissatisfied nationalties Of the AaIser to
arms to realize their oft-expressed, but still Chi
merical wish OF breaking up the realm into
Number of separate and strictly national States.
This scheme involves 80 complete revulsion in
continental affairs, that even Bismark, daring
and lucky as he ever is, would hesi ate to take it
in hand without this most imperative reasons.
really believe that the last communications from
Paris must have been rather disquieting, or we
should not ave seen General Kiapka and other
treadng the streets Of Berlin ut this moment, aud
preparing to form q Hungarian legion under
PrQssian auspices. As thousands of their coun.
trymen have been made prisoners Of war, men
will not be wanting.
The Official Berlin Gazette has short state
ment to the effect that Italy, having engaged by
treaty not to conclude peace with Austria except
with the consent Of Prussia, cannot avail herself
of any overtures relating to the eession Of Vene-
tia. Perhaps not, but, though Italy may continue
the war, her operations may unfortunately fail to
embarrass the enemy, now that 30 little is to be
attained by them.
