Letter From Germany. : Hakqver, January ...
« Tlie intellectual improvement of the nation occupies my constant care The acquirement of additional instructors , and the comple * tion ' of the scientific institutes of the universities , will be zealously attended to in proportion with the means at disposal . A newroutnve of instruction has - been given to the Reai , Schools . smtable to ^ their scientific character as well as to the duties of common life . With regard to the elementary schools , the salaries of the teachers have been raised . To meet the deficiencies in teachers , the foundation of new seminaries is in progress . ¦¦ . ¦ ¦ , _ , "Gentlemen , —A question of wide-reaching- importance xLemand ? your especial attention , and that of my Government When , last year I was forced to order the display of our military force , the call to arms was obeyed with an alacrity and patriotism that claims my warmest . acknowledgments . If the organisation of our army requires a reformit is not occasioned by any want of warlike spirit
, and love of country . Our military organisation was created in a time of trouble , and in accordance with the population and the financial capabilities of the State . It has been retained with the confidence induced by glorious success . The experience , however , of the last ten vears , in which the defensive powers ( Wehrhraft ) of the people had to be put into requisition , lias proved that many profound evils exist ; the removal of them is my duty and my right , and I claim your aid , according to the Constitution , for measures to enhance felie defensive powers , corresponding to the increase of the population and the development of our . national industry . Io this end a measure touching general military duty , and the financial calculations connected therewith , will be submitted to you . It is not my intention to break with the heritage of an heroic period . I he Prussian army wrll . be , as heretofore , the ' Prussian people with arms in their hands . It is our task , bv modernising the inherited
organization of our army to instil fresh life and vigour into it an proportion to tire financial powers of the nation . Let a well-digested measure , embracing both the popular and military Common weal , have your unprejudiced examination and acquiescence . It will serve as a proof to all the world of the confidence of the nation in the uprightness of iny' views . Gentlemen , never has a measure of such vast importance for the . protection , influence , and greatness of the country , been submitted to its representatives . Upon it depends the security of the country against the vicissitudes of the future . "
In the House of Representatives Mr . Sjmson has been elected President , Mr . Grabow first , and Mr . Mathis second Vice-Presidents for the next , four weeks . The emphasis which the Prince Regent in his speech laid , upon the concluding words lends to the belief that the relations of Prussia with other Powers will be made the subject of discussion in Parliament . As might be expected , the people , not only of Prussia , but of all Germany , look with a feeling of uneasiness towards the future . It is the general belief that a war between France and the Northern Powers is inevitables and that the longer delayed , the longer and more fatal
will bo . the present costly armed peace . Prussians are very impatient of the neutral policy of their Government , which , during the Russian and ' Italian , wars , was so detrimental t ^ o the country in material -wealth and reputation . As a proof of the nervous state _ of the public mind , there was a report current last week , and readily believed , that the French Emperor had seriously demanded the restoration of the " natural frontiers" of France , which means the annexation of the Rhine provinces . In the Federal Diet of the 12 th . inst . the question of fche coast defences was brought forward , and resulted in a motion requesting Prussia to enter into communication with the other Powers upon the technicalities of the question , and to report to the Dint . Prussia lias declined the commission , and , further , disputes the right of the Diet to interfere in the matter . . , ¦
The Upper Chamber of Hanover has formed a Committee upon a motion to grant 550 , 000 Uialers for coast defences . A leading peraojiago , Count Knyphaustsn , at once declared his resolution to oppose ; first , because the question was strictly a Federal one ; secondly , because without the concurrence and military union of all the States all partial attempts to defend the coast would bo simply ridiculous . This question is more serious than it appears .
