Is correspondent of the rologne Gazette writes :
"You will certainly have been struck by the painstaking
solicitude with which it has latterly 411111 and again been
reported from Berlin that the Crown Prince bad been pre-
sent in this or that council of ministers; that his royal
highness bad honoured the minister-president with a visit,
and on forth. It is, however, well known in political circles
here that the heir to the throne has at all times kept him-
self very much aloof from the present cabinet. The sys-
tematic sir of the above announcement has led to inquiries
being made of persons closely connected with the ministry,
and the result of those inquiries is the assurance—first,
that since the beginning of this year, and even longer, the
Crown Prince, who formerly never failed to attend the
meetings of the council of ministers, has almost entirely
ceased to do so ; and secondly, that M. von Bismark, since
about February up to this day, has neither been honoured
by a visit from bis royal highness, nor been admitted by
him to a political conference.'
M. Thies has, it is said, penned a reply to the
bull of excommunication launched against him by H. Per-
/iglu. His first thought was to publish it in the news.
papers, but he reflected that any newspaper which was
daring enough to give it to the public would be exposed de-
fenceless to ministerial wrath. He prefers taking the re-
sponsibility upon himself, and the answer will be posted up
in the form of a placard on the walls of Paris.
The King of Wurtemberg, who is in the 82nd

the present Czar, Is said to be very Russian in his sym-
pathies.
