Cologne, May 8. It is said that the French ambassador’ in Berlin 
has protested against the entry of the Prussians into Saxony. 

At last, therefore, the French Government has noticed that the 
East-European counter-revolution menaces it as well, and that the 
new Holy Alliance *?! has as its ultimate, supreme aim nothing other 
than the conquest, and this time, perhaps, the partition of France. 

We know positively that in the treaty which has been concluded 
between the orthodox Tsar and his two subordinate knyazes from 
Olmiutz and Potsdam‘ the ultimate aim of the alliance is declared to 
be the conquest of France, the abolition of the Republic and the 
elevation of the “legitimate King”, the “son of holy Louis”, the idiot 
Henry of Bordeaux to the throne of France and Navarre. 

That Odilon Barrot is involved in this plot is hardly doubtful. 

This is what they expect you to do, Prussian soldiers of the army 
reserve! You are being called away from your hearths and homes, 
from your wives and children, in order first of all to fight against 
your brothers in Germany and Prussia, to help in suppressing the 
small remnant of the freedom which you won last year—and then to 
fight against the Hungarians who are coming to the aid of your 
threatened freedom—and when you have completed this work to 
the satisfaction of your knyazes and your supreme lord and master, 
Tsar Nicholas, then you will be led across the Rhine against the 
nation whose heroic uprisings in 1789-94, 1830, and 1848 procured 
you all the freedoms you enjoy.

It is for this that last year as fighters at the barricades, and as the 
awe-inspiring mass of the people, you won a few liberties for 
yourselves, so that now, as soldiers of the army reserve, you 
yourselves will help to suppress these liberties once more and finally, 
in the service of your supreme master, the Russian Tsar, destroy also 
the two bulwarks of liberty—-Hungary and France!
