to take advantage of them.
The German Emperor delivered at Konigs1
berg on Friday week another OF his outspoken
speeches. He had been entertained at a State
BANQUET in the old capital OF East Prussia,
and after a complimentary sentence about the
peasantry of the province, declared with
sorrow that in the circles nearest to his
throne his best Intentions had been mlscon-
strted. The wore opposition has come to

not Of full knowledge, that the rise OF
Anarchy has profoundly startled the govern
