PRINCE Pumas MUSKAU.—The report that this
will-kaerni gentleman had become • convert to the catho-
' lie church has prodnoed the following letter to the Aleincine
Zeitiew Ia tits early part of the present year I read in
a newspaper, and was really affected by the news, that
PrimPeril's-Mirka* had expired at his eh :item' at
Branita. To-day, on the contrary, I learn from two jour-
nals that the prince hit gone over to the catholic church—
a feet, however, that other papen are disposed to doubt.
To prevent error, I hereby oScially inform my numerous
relations, friends, and acquaintances, that in reality dr,
amebae., have not yet allowed me, Prince Puchler-Mus-
I kin, either to die or to beeomireatholie ; I by no Mee= deny
that both eventualities, according to the estimate of differ-
sot human opinions, may have their adnatagooss aides;
only, m it appears to me, they must necessarily occur in the
reversed order. HIRILNANN PUCILIa."
