NOT RE OF TELE WEEK.

It will be remembered that & short time since
the Crown Prime and Princess of Prussia—our
Princess Royal—paid a Tint to Dantsic, where,
owing to the recent conduct of the king they were
received with great coolness. The Crown Prince,
however, mad* a speech to the inhabitants,
regretting the estrangement between the
people and the crown, at the Same time
disavowing and repudiating the proceed-
ings of the Court. This speech has given
offence the king and his mm-
liters. to .
We are told that the king, like his royal
ancestor, Frederick William 1., was almost ready
to try his son-and-heir by court-martial for the
offence. As it was, his His Majesty called upon
him to retract his speech, threatening, if he
refused, to deprive him of his military command
and all other offices. The Crown Prince, it mem,
showed the royal missive to his wife, and with
and by her advice, replied in • firm but respectful
letter. adhering to the statements he had made,
but piecing all his offices at the king's disposal,
and offering to retire into privacy. The king,
however, has hesitated to carry out the threat,
but the affair has greatly intensified the general
dissatisfaction against the reigning sovereign,
while it has at the same time added greatly to
the popularity of the young pianos and
princess. On Thursday the Queen of Prussia
arrived at Windsor Castle, on a visit to the
Queen of Ragland. It is announced that the
=Leew taken in opposition to the wishes of
and, but that her Majesty, no less than
other members of the Prussian Royal Family,
feels great unanimous at the present political
crisis, and views with extreme regret the mis-
chievous obstinacy of the king. The Prussian
Queen has come across, it is said, to take council
with the English one in order that the two
mothers may advise together for the interests of
their childeen, now seriously imperilled. If such
be really the case, she could not have applied to
a better quarter. May the meeting be pro-
ductive of the desired results.
We have had but little war news from America
during the past week. From Vicksburg we
learn that General Grant, being unable to
capture the place by storm, had determined upon
bombardment, and that he had planted hea73,.
Beige guns close up to the entinies works.
Genenti Johnstone was at jackson, and Grant
had lent • portion of his army up the
Yazoo river to meet him, to impede his
progress, and prevent, if possible, his attack-
ing the Fedenils at Vicksburg in the rear.
Port Hudson, another of the poets on the
Mississippi, where the Confoderetut have barred
the navigation of the river, has been 'ensiled by
General Banks, but with no positive results.
After a few hours' fighting the Federal. lost
shunt 4,000, including General Sherman and
several other officers severely wounded. A
newly-raised bleak regiment, 900 strong, was
employed by the Federal commander, and lost,
it is said, 600 of their nhmber in their first battle.
The correspondent of the New York Herald, in
a tone at commendation of them sable savages,
lays: "they fought with the desperation of
tigers. One negro was observed with a rebel
soldier in his grasp, tearing the flesh from his
hoe with his teeth, other weapons having failed
him. There me other incident. connected with
the conduct of this regiment that have raised
item eery snick in mg opinion as soldiers.. After
firing one volley, they did not deign to load again,
but went in with bayonlita, and wherever they
had a chance it was all up with the rebels."
This military critic must indeed have an exalted
idea of what constitutes "civilised warfare,"
when, to tear with the teeth the flesh from the
face of an eneniy, rajaed the brutes who per-
formed it greatly ileitis estimation as" soldiers."
No more fighting has taken place in Virginia, '
General Lee has evacuated Fredericksburg—
gone no one knows whither—and General Hooker
has recrossed the Rappahannock and occupied
Lee's old quarters. The upset of political affairs,
however, are decidedly more cheering than they
have been since the breaking out of hostilities.
In 11* York a great pesos-meeting has been
held, attended by from 90,000 to 60,000 people.
At this meeting resolutions were adopted deny-
ing the right of the Government under the Con-
stitution to omen the seceded States; asserting
that the war was fast oonsuming all the resources
of the country ; that by its continuance the South
and the North must alike crumble into ruin,
and recommending in the name of the people the
suspension of hostilities and a resort to C 011•611-
Woo both at the North and South, to determine
upon what conditions the contending factions
might be reconciled. No breach of the peace
occurred. The New York Herald says that the
meeting was the greatest ever held in New York,
and that such unmistakable bitterness of hostility
to the Administration was never before
in American history. All agreed that it was
time to stop the war. But this secession of the
New York Herald from the war party is a mons
eignificent circumstance than even the peace
meeting. The Herald, like the "leading journal"
of our own country, has a fine perception of
coming changes in Popular sentiment ; and when
it tells in readers that reaction will soon be
triumphant, that the people have lost faith in the
efficacy of hostilities to restore the Union, and
that an attempt must be made to test what virtue
will be found in peace, it is not difficult to see
that the tide has turned in the sentiment of the
Northern people, in reference to this desolating
weir. May the beginning of the end" be clone
et
hand -

Since the above was in type we have received
American intelligence down to June 12th. A
severe fight had taken place between the Con
federates, under Stuart, of oavaZzraid notoriety
and three bripdesof Federaloa and infantry.
The battle, which lasted a whole y, took place
near Culpepper Court Hones; and as the Federal&
were compidled to craw the Happahannook,
although they succeeded, according to report,
in taking their wounded and dead with them
the Oonf.dera%us may be regarded as the victors.
The object of the Federal attesk,it is asid,was to
frustrate the &Mpg at Lee, who bad aseembled
s)arge fans with the intention at making a

raid into Mat Timid. This object, it is pretended,
ocs accomplished ;a pretension difficult to re-
concile with the fact that the Federal' were
beaten. It is reported that General Banks has
been defeated at Port Hudson' but the report
wants confirmation. A smart brush had taken
plass on the old fighting ground at Fredericks-
burg. Hooker sent over a division to ascertain
if the report was correct that Lee had evacuated
the city, when they found their enemy still in
his old quarters, and in large force. According
to their own account, the Federal" captured from
90 to 100 Confederates with the loss of "only"
40 men. The most important political news is
the resistance to compulsory enrolment in
Indiana. The Provost Marshal there, and his
assistant, had been shot, and a military force had
been sent to the scene of disorder.
. .

The three leading topics of diecuasion among
the Parisiantans,—the late elections, the war in
Mexico, and the American question. The result
of the supplementary elections was in most cases
favourable to the 0;,-,0einon, who now number
11141:i :it; member''of great influence and import-
ance. The French, however, are more interested
in the Mexican campaign than in questions of
internal reform. When the Emperor received
the telegram respecting the capture of Puebla,
he had just sat down to dinner. On reading the
message, he exclaimed to the empress, "La
Mexique eat k noes!" then folded up the paper
and threw it out of the window to the band of
the Imperial Guard, who were playing on the
term:* beneath. The band-master read it to his
companions, who gave three hearty cheers.
What resistance the still unconquered
government and people of Mexico may
now be able to over to the onward march
of Marshal Forey's army we cannot tell. They
made • long stand at Puebla, yielding at last
only to famine. That the French empire will,
sooner or later, force its way into the capital of
Maio° we lo not doubt, but that done, there
will reniain the true Mexican government, sup-
ported by the nation, safe in the interior of an
impracticable country. Meanwhile the present's
of • victorious French army in the capital will
become a Matter of no trivial embarrasament to
the cabinet of Washington, who, to prevent the I
reproach of being either cowards or traitors, meat
do something to lay the objugatory ghost of the
Monroe doctrine; and if something, then what
A quarrel with France implies the instant re-
cognition by that power of the Southern con-
federacy, and the raising of the blockade; tame
submission to a French occupation of Mexico; or
the creation of • monarchy there under French
protection would extinguish the last chance
which the men now in Cad) at Washington have
of retaining their hold of the Government The
Mexican difficulty is likely to assume • pro-
minent place in the transatlantic perplexities.
The latest news from Paris is very warlike.
According to the Herald's correspondent, the
Emperor of the French is ready for, if not
anxious, to engage in a war with Russia. Orderi
were on Saturday received at Vincennes to
place on the fall war-footing, and prepare for
immediate service three batteries of 12-pounders
and 100 artillery wagons. The excitement pro-
duced when the order arrived was immense,
and the officers of Vincennes think that war
will break out before the month of July is over.
In military circles there is an impression that
the first blow will be struck against Prussia.
On the Bourse, war-rumours are prevalent,
and Rental are falling; and Lord Cowley, the
English ambassador, has gone to Fontaineblitait,
where the Emperor is at present staying. It
is stated that Napoleon 111. has felt acutely the
death of Count Platen in the Polish ranks, that
nobleman being amongst his oldest intimates.
Mr. Slidell, the Confederate envoy at Paris, had
also an interview with Napoleon on Thursday,
which ia, of course, looked upon as something
significant. It is stated that the Russianpapers,
which arrived at the French capital on Friday,
fully anticipated war with France.
An amount of a swindling case, which is • good
example of • whole class, and bow it is that folks
are taken in, by what paltry devices working on
feelings to match, is now going the rounds of the
press. A young unknown gentleman makes his
appearance at Wolverhampton, taking up his
quarters at the best hotel. He orders a carriage
and pair to take him to pay a visit to • neigh-
bouring clergyman. The coachman has no white
&ores. The young gentleman is scandalised.
He never can consent to be driven by • coachman
without white gloves. The man must get white
gloves. Here was a pledge of respectability, and
something more. Confidence was inspired in
every breast by the exaction of white gloves as a
sine qud non. Next to white gloves for the
driver came a black band for the visitor, for
mourning is • sign of promise—ideas of inherit-
ance or legacy being associated with it. The
unknown arrives at the door of the clergyman,
and sends in a card with • black
border.
The card announces him to be "Mr.
Charles Wickes, Woodlands, Spring Grove
and Carlton Club, Pall Mall." This address
;
obtains him a ready audience. Now face to face
with the rev, gentleman the latter is quite pre-
=dfrom the features of his visitor, to believe
' when he said that he was the son of an old
parishioner, whom he (the clergyman) knew when
he had a living at Cambridge. The young gen-
tleman had embraced the profes;; ;;ii,ect,
and fur.t.Or more was an author; for it was he,
he asserted, who had written the work published
by Weale and Ackerman on the "Towers and
Spires of England." He was in that neighbour-
hood sketching the collegiate church of Wolver-
hampton, with • view to the publication of his
sketch in another *ork which he was preparing;
but he was without ready cask, and desired an
introduction to one of Use banks in the district.
He not only obtained the note, but also an in-
vitation to dinner on the following day. Thus
was made dupe minor No. 1, who was, in turn,
made dupe major No. 2. The rev, gentleman
was the gudgeon wherewith the hook was
baited for the pike. "Mr.Wickes,of Woodlands,
Spring Grove, and the Carlton Club, Pall Mall."
armed with the ciergytuan'i Introduction, goes
to the Elkton district bank in Wolverhatnp-
ton, presents his letter of credence, and proposes
an account with a cheque on the Southampton
bank for £2,000. He is in the neighbourhood
to purchase an estate, for which he has agreed,
and intends to bring down to it his wife, • lady
of large fortune he has recently married. In his
hurry about the estate he had forgotten to sup-
ply himself with money for current pu
and wants some cash—a mere trifle.— will
suffioe—on the £2,000 cheque. The bait took
wonderfully well. The £4O waa handed arm
the counter, but by the time "no effects." was
returned to the beaker's inquiries respecting the
cheque, Mr. Wickes? of Woodlands, Spring
Grove, had left per rail, having consented, for
once, to be driven by a coachman without white
gloves. The clergyman, with a suitable party
of the best company to meet his " literary"
friend, waited dinner next day for the author of
"The Towers and Spires of England," and the
Billiton bank will have to wait still longer for
its h4O. There are two classes of men by whom
are made—the gullible and the enover-
rescuers—and these two Mr. Charles Wickes, of
Woodlands, Spring Grove, and Carlton Club,
discovered at Sinters. Bad the good easy parson
not so readily taken all on trust and vouching
for an utter stranger, nor the Bank manager
been 5o eager to do • little business with the pre-
tended purchaser of an estate with • rich wife,
there would be one record lasso! the doings of
"knaves amongst fools."

BATTALION Borg DRILL—On Monday afternoon •
rifle corps battalion rope drill took place on Pound-
-IU7. The muster was not very large, which doubtless
might be attributable to the threatening appearance of
the weather in the morning. In the afternooe, bow.
ever, the glens. mist which had prevailed broke away,
and a splendid afternoon followed, The battalion was
under the totem tad of Major Templer, of theist D.B.V.
(Bridport), and he was atecompenind by Captain Ewen%
Adjutant of the City of London Rifle &-irde., and
Adjutant Barrett. Tbe men were exercised for nearly
two hours, and performed the various evolutions,
admirably. At the conclusion Major Templer
addreesed the volunteers, and highly complimented
them upon the efficient manner in which they
had executed the manavarrea, and expressed the
pleasure it afforded him of meeting them. Alluding
to the late accident to Colonel Mansel, the gallant
Major said he bad received a letter from Sm. Mandl
that day, in which he was glad to bear, and hi was sure
all volunteers would as well, that the injuries to their
Colonel were not of sedans's:ore nature as was at drat
expected, and it was the opinion of his medical adviser
that he would not loos the sight of his eye, and it wall
to be hoped that be would be able to be present at the
next drill. Three cheer' were then given for the gallant
Colonel, three for Major Templer, and three for
Adjutant Barrett, and the battalion were dismissed.
