During the state of siege imposed on Cologne, when the pen has to 
submit to the sabre, the 
NEUE RHEINISCHE ZEITUNG 


has been forbidden to appear and for the time being is unable to 
fulfil its obligations to its esteemed subscribers. 

We hope, however, that the exceptional situation will continue 
only for a few days more, and then during the month of October we 
shall be able to ensure the dispatch of our newspaper to our 
subscribers in an enlarged format, with new powerful means for its 
support, the more punctually because before long the printing will 
be done by a new rapid printing-press.
