Our Berlin Correspondence, Banwiy, June 22, 1859. Mobilization of the Prussian Army—Who is to be Commander in Chief?—Will Prussia be Involved in the War?—Do the Germans Want War?—State of Public Feeling—Impwtant Rumor Relative to the Prince Regent, the Queenand Austria, dc, The mobilization of the Prussian army is progressing witb considerable rapidity, and will be completed by the Ist of July, a8 far a8 regards the six corps to which it was Nmited by the Prince Regent’s order of the 14th instant. They are to form two armies, the first of which, consist- tog Of the Fourth, Seventh and Righth corps, will be sta- tioned on tee Rhine; and the second, composed of tha Third and Fifth corps, on the Main; while the Guards will sot as a reserve and be placed at a ceatral point, in readi- vege 10 support either of the armies. It is as yet quite uncertain who will take the chief command of these ‘oops. Field Marshal Wrangel insists strongly on his clatms to this post, but it isnot likely that he will suc. ceed in asserting them. The old gentleman is now reventy-five years of age, his strategical talents were always more than doubiful, and to place him at the head of the army would be to invite @ repetition of the disasters of 1806. The Prince of Prussia has & great notion of assuming the functions of generaliseimo in propria persona, in which case he would have either General Wasson, or the Minister of War, General Bonin, for his ohief of the staff; the latter is the onty officer io the Prussian army, with the exception of Wrangel, who hag ever held an independent command in actual warfare, and though he was not very fortunate on that occasion, being utterly routed by the Dance at Frederica, his military talents are said to be of no com- mon order, and might perhaps make up for the absence of them on the part of bis Royal Highness, who is a strict disciplinarian, but no gencral At any rate the prince has a high opinion of him The Prince of Wurtemberg is talked of as commander of the First army, and Prince Radzivil of the Second, but up to the present moment, as Thave just stated, no deflaite resolution has been ar_ rived at on this subject, The same corps d’armé are still under the command of thelr old chiefs, who, however, will have to make room for younger or more active successors. I understand the Prince of Ho- benzollern Sigmaringen (President of the Council of Minis- ters) will be placed at the head of the Seventh corps, the Duke of baw Arce! La the Fourth, and Prince Frederick Charles cf the Guards; but even these arrangements ara etil! in abeyance, In fact, Prussia bas no lack of the raw material of war—she has solaiers in abundance, but she ig Badly ip want of persons Ot to head them—and this de. ficiency will be severely felt in the event of an cncounter with the veteran marshals of France. A8 soon as the six corps above mentioned are ready to take the field, the mobilization will be extended to the re- maining three, nemely, the First, Second and Sixth, which have thelr beadquarters, respectively, at K« burg, in Fast Prussia; at Stettin, in Pomerania; and at Bresiag, in Silesia. This distribution will be to watch the movements of the Russians in Poland and Litbuania, and to defend the coasts of the Baltic if menaced by a French or @ Mascovite flect. Hitherto Russia has shown no signs of hostility, and the reports of vast armaments going on io that empire have been repeatedly contradicted; but it is plain from Prince Gortschakoff’s note, that the Cabinet of ‘St. Petersburg is strongly opposed to any demonstration of Germany in favor of Austria; and although the offen- sive and defensive alliance between the Czar and Touis Napoleon, which created such excitement a few weeks since, Js now generally acknowledged to haye been a false alarm, spread by the London Times for stock gem purposes, it is not to be suppored that Russia will view the march of a Prussian army tothe Rhine with indifis. rence. The fortifications of Konigeburg, Posen and Dant- zc are being repaired and strengtbened with all possible despatch, and nothing will be neglected to enable this country to withstand an attack on its eastern frontier, ie eneeen, in military operations against its western neighbor. jow that Prussia appears to be on the eve of being in volved in a great war, it may bo as well to give tho ordr de bataille of the army, os it will stand when the mobili sation is compieted, aud of which | aunex a synopsis:— ORDRE DE BATAILLIO OF THE PRUSSIAN ARMY. | GUARDS.

What might we not have expected to have taken place here? It appears that at Vienna, though not particularly content either, they take these matters somewhat more philosophically.

"Now, this subject we would reason upon qithout any reference to the past, and without any foregone conclusions as to the future. In times of war men live fast, and it is the merest absurdity to affect fixity of view as to events which are continually changing. [wo months since the Austrians had a splendid army on the banks of the Tici BO; they were commanded by geuerals who, accordiag to common fame, were endowed with preeminent military knowledge. Their staff, their cavalry, their artiliory were vaunted throughout Europe as the most To these circumstances they at on an eqaality with the French, or rather they were superior to tnem, inasmuch as they held the country which wag the subject of dispute, and it did not seem likely that any Power could dislodge them. Toen, not oaly Germany out Eog land remopstrated strongly against any attack oa Austria, and one of the bases of negotiation as proposed by Lord Malmesbury was that the treatios of 1815 should be held sacred and inviolable. Nothing would have given ‘v8 more pleasure than that these bases should have been accepted, and that no shet should have been fired in an Italian war. But this was notto be, and t2e Germans cannot take upon themselves to ignore history. By fair means or foul, by chance or policy, or simple Dlundering, war broke out. The results we all kuow. The Austrians, who had advanced some thirty miles within the Sardiuiau territory, neglected to follow up thelr advantages; with unaccountable timidity or Coie 4 they allowed a French army to bo landed and brought into position in froat of their overwhelming forces,and thon they commenced a retreat with a desperate rapidity which ts ag unintelligible as their advance and their subsequent apatby. To do them justice, they do not _seem to have been mas they were beaten by Napoleon or Moreau, but they have been drawn off after each encounter, leaving the fivid and the honors of the day to the enemy; and now, witvoat striking a blow, they have been marcned from the field of Magenta to the fortresses of Peschierea and Msotaa. Ali that they had established with such care and wil and cost, dui in forty years, has been abandoned ina werk, Piacen: za, which always been a main grievance with the Italiens, amd the fortifications of which threatened to delay iudefinitely the advance of an invadiog army, was left in such baste that the Allies have not only captared a vast umber of guns, but provisions and materials of war sufii- cient to give po small org to their army. Not oaly has this great fortified place and Pavia, aiso a place of oie, ‘been abandoned, but some half dozen positions where a buttle a eae ee ee rapidity of which ‘has almost converted it into a flight. The consequences have been most momentous. The whole of Italy ig in a flame. Every town which the Austrians hays left has risen, ap. pointed a government, and placed ftsalf under the dicta- torsbip of the King of Sardinia. The important city of Milan, the duchies of Parma ani Modena and Tascany bave been revolutionized. We need not farther recapita- late the failures and disasters of General Gyulat’s army.

It seems to every impartial bystander tbat the interference which is now threatened ought rigbtfally to have taken place on the first news that Austria had crossed the Ticino. THE MOBILIZATION OF THE PRUSSIAN ARMY—INTER- FBRENCE IN THE WAR. the London News, Juae 23.} The Prussian government bas published an authoritative | statement of the reasons which have indused it to place | two-thirds of the military forces of the country upon a | wer footing. The Prussian Gasrtte in its article, which | we published yesterday, clearly avows that the mobiliza | ton of s'x army corpe is a measure preparatory to iater- | ference between the be! ents. It is expressly stated that the government of the Princo Regent, considering all that is happening in Italy, ‘could not but think that the moment has come for intervening for the re-establishment of peaco.”? This announcement of course enhances the | es of the declarations of public policy which it pre- codes. The Prugsian writer commences his statement by claim- ing for hie ment ® part in the settiement of the af- faire of Italy, in its quality of a great Power—a clain which no one will dispute, although it is one which m ght De preferred by Powers greater than Prustia, which, nove }, are comtent to remain spectators of the preeent conflict. But Pruasia sees danger to Yoterests in See we eenin pnek outs @ turn ver; for the principles which govern European and for the maintenance of the balance of power in Europe.” More ambiguous expressions could not bave been selected from the dipiomstic vocabulary. ‘We are left to guess what are the principles of public law which Proesia would thiok worth fighting for; but from the frequency with which it is insisted on, we infer that tho official writer bad mainly in. view the effective supervision which the great Powers are in the habit of exercising over the territorial ita of the Continent. That right is referred to at the commencement of the article now under notice, and it is asserted strongly in another sentence, in which tt is declared thet Prussia in arming ‘defrads the independence of Kherope, which would be menaced if new arrangements could be taken in Burope withwut the assent of the Prwers.”) There 18 much that ts true in thig last aliega tion.

If Lord Palmerston could declare his coavic- tion ten years ago of the necessity of terminating the do- mination of Austria in Italy, how much nag that nocessity since been increased! We may expect that the chief sistes- men of s Cabinet which owes its existence to the pubtic demand that our influence abroad sbail be exerted in the cause of freedom, will give good advice to Prassia, and spare no pains in order that the settlement of Itaty may bemade on the only basis which can afford for the peace of Europe. {From the London News, June 24.) trom Ber! comes she may the Bet papers respecti the terms of agian mediatioa pea incre Shouid the conflict on the Mincio preve of s deuisive character, and enerate, owing to the succersfud resistance of th?

Still, until its objects and terme are stated, there is room to hope that Prussian mediation may be so equitably directed as to prepare the way for s desirable peace, in- Atead of extending and embittering the war. Every fact elucidating bet gee of Prussia i of imporwance jast now. The Emperor of the French and the King of Sardinia, as all the world knows, bave piedget themselves to effect the emancipation of Italy from the Avgtrians, and can therefore listen to no pretence of Germany to keep up fort resses and garrisons in that country. Under thess circum. stances the statement of an influential cotem,orary, that “the Regent of Prussia bas announced that the line of the ‘Mincio must be considered » defence of Germany,” becomes exceedingly seri-us. But to whom, let us ask, bas he an- nounced this? To the British government? Certainty not. To the French government? We have the best reasons for believing that he bas not, To the austriac govern- ment? We cannct say. If, however, the Times is pre- Pared to make a statement to that we shall not think Of questioning its authority. Meanwhile it is an impor- tant fact that, as far as her declaration to the two great Powers of Western Europe are concerned, Prussis 18 still free to pursue a wise and European policy. Whatever the Prince Regent may bave whispered in the ears of his German friends, he bas not yet communicated the pur- poccrdnont poy to him either to the most powerfal of his it or the most friendly of his neutral neighbors. (From the Incependance Belge, June 22.] If these | einpennee (given above) are conveyed to Vienne and , We believe we are able to state with certainty that Austria will accept hg at bas already accepted them—and that France will reject them. Excepting the previous disermsment (now out of ques- tion) the above are the propositions mate by Lord Cowley—propositions that were reasonable before the ‘war, but which, after the battles of Montebello, Palestro, Magenta and Marignan, the copquest of Lombardy, the re- yolutions of fuscapy, Parma and Modena, the agitation in the jone and the disturbances which begin to manifest themselves even st Venice, will infaliibly be re- fused by France. If, in spwe of this refusal, Prussia insists on exercising an influence over the set- tement of tbe Italian questions in such a manner that the Earopesn equilibrium shali not be de ranged, it is watoral to conclude, from the anterior declarations of the Cabinet of the Taileries, that it will not refore to recognizs toe rights of Prussia exerted op conditions of absolute impartiality; that it will accede even to the meeting of a congress charged with preserv- ing the interest of pe in the future territorial ar- rapgements of the Italian peninsula, bat only after tho expulsion of the Austriaus from Italy—the end assigned for the preeent campaign in the proclamation of Napoleon IL. at the outbreak of the war. As for the annexation’ of territory made by Sardinia, France will be able to re- ply that she only considers them as events of the war, ne- cessary to the centralizarion of i Operations against Avetria, but essentially temporary, aod which, to definitive, will require to be sanctioned at once by the plainly-e: ‘wiebes of the populations concerned, and the consent of Europe. © Cer de Hambourg baving stated that the ages of the Prussian mediation ts the abolition of the pri- vate treaties of Austria with the small Italian States, and the realization of reforme in {taly, and that Austria and Prussia are now upon these potats (which formed the object of General Willisen’s recent miseion to Vienna), the Patrie exciaims:—“ How long has the Does it koow tbat we have drivea 4 ‘toe ‘4 From, the Ban! burg Nouvelliste, Jane 21.) * The Prussisn government has t fit to explain in tts semi official part the political cbjese 19 be attained by the mobilization.
