The arrival of Baron von Scheel-Plessen from
St. Petersburg yesterday has created an important
ministerial criaia, caused by a difference in the
principles held by the King and the Government.
It is not known if this difference has yet been
settled.

The following announcement has been published
in the Berlin/ate Tidende by the communal
authorities of the islands of Fohr and Amrom :
"It bee been stated in the German papers that the
/Romig islands have sent a deputation to the King
of Prussia. This is not the case. On the contrary,
a deputation from those islands had yesterday an

thinks that the object of this note may perhaps
be to modify the excitement prevailing at the
Tuileries respecting the interviews of the sovereigns
at Kissingen and Carlsbad.

, many to deny that their Majesties have any definite
r object is view, or intend reciprocally to adopt any
prooonoerted programme.
