PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Barr. 18.
In reference to the question of the Regency, now
pending, I have now to state that the most delicate
part of the negotiations are satisfactorily settled be-
tween the Queen and the Prince of Prussia; that
the former withdraws her pretensions to the Re-
gency, and that the latter is to assume the title of
co-Regent, bat with unlimited powers, and per-
fectly independent in his regal capacity. As he thus
obtains in reality:the supreme power without having
his bands tied iu any way, he thought it advisable
no longer to stickle for the little prefix " co," but
to make this concession to the Queen, who attaches
great importance to it, as she apprehends that were he
to sesame the title of Regent, or Prince Regent, the
Bing, though still alive, would be soon completely
forgotten. The principal mediators between the
two exalted personages are Baron von Manteuffel,
the prime minister, and the nonagenarian, Baron
Alexander von Humboldt

It is quite true that the Chambers are to be con-
voked in October, not for a permanent session or the
transaction of general business, but merely to receive
the official notification of the final settlement of the
Regency question. It is however not correct, as
stated by some of the German newspapers, that they
will be called upon to pass a vote or even express an
opinion on the subject, but merely to receive it as
unfelt accompli. This is obviously not required by
the constitution, which only provides for the case of
a Regency, but nothing is said of a Mit-Regent-
schaft, or co-Regency,which will now be the form of
government selected. By this means also the Prince
of Prussia will be relieved of the necessity of for-
mally acknowledging in any way the existence of
the constitution.

RESTORATION OF THE OLYMPIAN GAMES
IN GREECE.
A correspondent writing front Atheri, under date
September 4, says :
„The Queen-Regent hasjnet signed a royal decree for the
re-establishment of the ending Olympia prase, after being
dieoontinned for nearly 1,600 years. They me to be held at
Athens, in the ancient Stadium, which is still in a very per-
fect state of preservation, end requ,ree very little more than
• good cleaning out, and are to take place on the three first
Sundays in October, every fourth year, commencing in 1869.
The games are to include horse-races, wrestling, throa:ng
quoits, and other athletic sports, singing, music, and
dancing, besides which there is to be r-t erhi-
bition of dowers, ft site, cattle, end other articles
of Greek produce or manufactares. Tbis eooentric
idea wee formed by a wealthy Peloponnrvien named Even-
gelos Zapper, who resides at Jenny, in Moldavia, and who
has liberally endow( d the games by placing at the (lisped of
the Hellenic govetentent 400 *harm "t the Greek Steam
Mat:gallon Company, besides the sum of 3,000 Dutch ducats
is nature. The pt :us ere to be awarded by a oonurittee
appointed each Olympiad by the Greek government, and will
consist of gold and silver medals, and wreaths of silver leaves
end flowers. The former will contain an elllgy of the King,
whilst on the reverse will be engraved the name of the
founder " Lappet," and the date, or rather the number, of the
Olyropied. The winners of the prize seeds% will be entitled
