It acknowledges the necessity of on ngreement between the Government and the yepresentatives of the country s to the settlement of the Padget, and regrets that the outlsy incurred in the last few ears should have been illegal. ‘There is no douht that the Prussian Diet will pass a bill of indemnity to the King's Gov- ervment for all the ary measures of the past, and that a better barmouy will be estsblished between the Powers of the State for the future. **God's gracions goodness has crowned Prussia’s heavy sacrifices,” as the King scys, and goodwill and concord are easy with the prosperons.

Notwithstanding this Koyal reti- | cence, however, it 18 evident that the work of Prussia is com- plete. Whatever opinion may b entertoined asto her mili- tary operations, there is no doubt that her conduct was the re- sult of & long-1a1d plan, which kas been executed with thorough consistency and mature deliberstion. Her conquests have been pusked as fsr_as the exigencies of her policy sug ested, and not further. ‘Ihe suspension of bostilities solicited by Austria has not been “consented to till it was evident that no respite granted could be of any avail to retrieve her fortanes, Even when settling accounts with her principsl enemy, Prussia was careful to loave the scores gainst Austria’s allies, each of whom had to sue for separate terms, and conld only obiain a repiieve when the conqueror bad sttained the goal be bad fised for bimself. By reserving this freedom of action, Prussia bad leisure to drive the Bavari the Main, to occupy Wiiraburg, to_invade Dar the capital of the Grand Duchy, to isolate W temberg, cny and obtain from Baden an adhererce to her own Federal policy.
