"Neue Rheinische Zeitung" – [State of Siege in Cologne]

[State of Siege in Cologne]

["Neue Rheinische Zeitung" No. 113, September 27, 1848]

* Cologne, September 26. Today also we omit the
survey. We hasten to put the paper to press. We learn from a reliable source that
within 1-2 hours the city is to be declared in a state of siege, the civic guard
dissolved and disarmed, the *Neue Rheinische Zeitung*, the *Neue
Kölnische Zeitung*, the *Arbeiter-Zeitung* and the *Wächter am Rhein* suspended,
courts-martial set up and all the rights won in March suppressed. It is said
that the civic guard is not inclined to let itself be disarmed.
