Berlin, April 13.
Field Marshal Blucher before he left this city, addressed the following proclamation to the army, dated 6th April.
"Comrades! His Majesty has again deigned to confide to me the supreme command of the army. I appreciate this favour with the liveliest acknowledgements. I rejoice to see you again--to find you once more in the field of honor, prepared for a new contest, full of new hopes. We have once more an opportunity of fighting for the general cause--for public peace --and I congratulate you on the occasion. The career of glory is again before you, with every chance of increasing by new feats of valour, the military reputation you have already acquired. Placed at your head, I want no other assurance of a glorious and complete success. Repose in me in this new struggle that confidence which you have exhibited in the former one, and I am convinced that we shall gloriously extend the series of your brilliant feats of Arms."
