HESSE CASSEL.

According to intelligence received by the Temps,
the 'Elector Fredk. William has by the treaty
just concluded abdicated in favour of the King of
Prussia, and has obtained, besides the whole of his
private fortune, the Chateau of Hesse Homburg,
where he will reside. A similar success is hoped
for at Berlin from the negotiations with the ex-
King of Hanover and the ex-Duke of Nassau.
"If the two princes," says the Temps, "re illy decide
to give over to the King of Prussia their sovereign
rights, William the Ist will find himself relieved of
those scruples of legitimacy and divine right which
so:cruelly torment his highness."

NEW YORK, SEPT. 11, EVENING.

President Johnson received an enthusiastic re-
ception at St. Louis. He made a long speech de-
claring that the Orleans riots were plotted in radi-
cal congressional caucuses, and announced his in-
tention of adopting a course of determined oppo-
sition to the radicals in all respects. At Indian-
°polls so many groans and hisses came from the
crowd, and such confusion prevailed that the Pre-
sident was unable to make a speech, and was
obliged to retire. Several pistol shots were ex-
changed between political opponents among the
crowd.

The Cincinnati municipality refused to tender
the President a reception.

A delegation from the Southern radicals who at-
tended the Philadelphia Convention are making a
tour through the States, addressing the people at
the various cities which Mr. Johnson lately visited.
Thaddeus Stevens has made a speech, declaring the
future radical policy to be territorial government
in the South, confiscation, and negro suffrage.

Resolutions have been introduced into the New
Jersey legislature, declaring that Johnson's speech
to the committee of the Philadelphia Convention
is calculated to excite a renewal of the rebellion
against the constitutional authorities of the govern-
ment, being indicative of a revolutionary purpose
on the part of the executive.
The republicans carried the Maine elections by a
majority of 30,000, showing a large republican gain.
Numbers of democratic Irish voted for the repub-
licans.
The Rev. Mr. Ward Beecher has written another
letter, announcing himself to be partly, but not
wholly, in favour of Johnson's policy.
The Fenian Congress at Troy have deposed
Sweeney for incompetency, and re-elected Roberts
as President. An American steamer has been
seized at Montreal on suspicion of being engaged
by the Fenian. It is believed that no Fenian raid
will occur before November.
