KING OF sAXONY TO HIS SUBJECTS.
DRESDEN, June IG, 1S66.-King JOHN
left the Capital for the army at 3 o'clock this
! afternoon, taking with him Baron Won
! BEUsT and HERR VON RABENHoRsT. Be
! fore his departure His Majesty issued the
! following proclamation:
" To NY FAITHFUL SAXoNs: An uniusti-
| fable attack compels me to take up arms
! SaxOns, we are treated as enemies because
we remained faithful to the rights of a kind
red race; because we held fast to the bond
uniting the great German fatherland; be-
cause we did not yield to unfederal demands.
| However painful may be the sacrifices fate
| shall impose upon us let us go into battle
| courageously for the sacred cause.
1t is true that we are few in numbers but
GoD is mighty for the weak who trust in
him, and we shall not fail to receive the sup
port Of all Germany that has remained true
to the Confederation. Although l am for
the moment compelled to yield to a superior
force, and separate from you, l still remain
IN the midst ofmy valiant army, with whom
l shall continue to feel myself in SaxOny,
and l hope soon to return to you, if heaven
bless our arms l rely firmly upon your
fidelity and affection. As we have held to-
gether in happy days, we will also remain
united in the hour of trial. Your prOsperi-
ty has ever been and remains the object of
my efforts. Let our motto be, with GOD,
for the right JOHN"
KING WILLIAM TO THE PRUssIAN PEOPLE.
BERLIN, June 10, l866.-The manifesto
of King William to the Prussian people has
been issued to-day, the principal passages of
which are as follows:
The hope that an alliance based upon
mutual esteem, and furthering the prosperity
and power of Germany, would issue from the
Austrian and Prussian brotherhood in arms
has been deceived. Austria has not consid-
cred Prussia her natural ally, but as a hos
tile rival, and has, therefore, drawn the Fed
eral Princes into breach of the confederl-
ton. The humiliation of Prussia has been
the watchword Of her enemies, but the spirit
Of 1878 lives in the PrUssian people. Her
opponents deceive themselves, if they imag-
inc Prussia to be paralyzed by dissension at
home. Before the enemy, these will disap-
pear, and all hitherto opposed to one another
will stand henceforth united in triumph or
misfortune"
The manifesto lays stress upon the fact |
that Prussia, in concert with England, |
France and Russia, has made fruitless eff
fort to effect peaceful settlement and pro-
ceeds:
1--WE are compelled to fight for existence.
We must 90 forth to battle for life or death |
against those who wish to humiliate the |
Prussia of the great Elector FREDERICK, !
and of the war Of independence. If GOD |
gives US the victory ,weshall bestrong enough |
to unite more firm. and more prosperously |
those loosened ties of Germany which they |
who fear the right and the power of the ma
tiOnal spirit have torn asunder."
GARmALDT's SPEECH To THE VOLUNTEERS
GARIBALDI made the following speech to |
thevoIunteers of Lecco: "My Friends-You |
know that in this world chance has a share |
in everything. One sailor may come upon
reefs and shoals, whilst another finds treas
ure. One soldier in the rearmost rank may
be struck by a bullet, whilst his comrade in
the first line remains unhurt. You indeed |
are a fortunate generation. As for me |
have arrived at the decline of life, and con-
slider myself most fortunate in being among
you. Before your time n thousand genera
tiOns have existed who have seen their fields
trodden by the foot of the foreigner, and
their wives insulted by mercenary troops.
1t is you who will deliver this land, and
your children and grandchildren will lift
up their heads proud of your name. 1t is l
who tell you this. You are destined to con-
quer. Tell the foreign armies that it is van
ity on their part to think themselves invinci-
bic because they are organized, As foryou,
some of whom wear cap, some felt hat,
and some a white handkerchief on your
heads let but a musket be put into your
hands, and we shall see what you can do
l am proud to be with you, for assuredly we
shall do something together. Am l not
right?"
Tremendous cheering followed this adj
dIess.
