SECRET ANECDOTES.

la a German work, recently published at Amster-
dam and Cologne, intitled, s, Confidential Letters en
the Densest,. Relations of the Prussian Court, since the
death of Frede►ick II." we ind the following inter-
esting anecdotes, conneaed with the late events on
the Continent :

" The patriotism of the inhabitants of Silesia was
not so general as it at first appeared to be. The
fortress of Glogau might have held out two months
longer, thoegh in that case the city would have been
destroyed. The Governor was destitute of energy.
Many of the patriotic citizens, dining the siege,
whispered the Officer commanding the artillery,
that he had it in his power to destroy the works of
the enemy, who kept continually approaching nearer
to the town, when he would reply, with vehemence,
ol You don't know, Sir, how much every shot costs
the King." Had Glogau held out a fortnight
longer, the corps of Pless would have been Able to
relieve it.

Von Haak, the stupid and cowardly Command-
ant of Schweidnitz, passed the night some time
since at laver. Ihe enraged citizens broke his
windows ; on esis he went very calmly down stairs,
and said to the landlord, in whose house he had put
up, " You must have a great many enemies in this
town; they have broken all your windows." " Beg-
ging your pardon. Governor," replied his host,
" the honour was all on your side." The ruins of
Schweidnitz present a most astonishing spetacle.
The French engineers were struck with amazement
at these works, which are now blown up ; the resto-
ration of which would require 40 millions of dollars,
the whole annual revenue of the Prussian Monarchy.
They declared that, excepting Luxemburgh, France
bad not such a fortrees. Nevertheless, Schweid-
nit:, the key to the Silesian mountains, and to all
Upper Silesia, surrendered after a blockade of five
weeks, and a bombardment of three days ; not-
withstanding that the King of Prussia, who was
acquainted with the importance of the place, ex-
pressly charged the Governor. Lieut.-Colonel Von
Hoak, to defend the fortress committed to his charge
in the most obstinate manner, at the risk of his
bead.

On Bonaparte's arrival at Posen, the Jews of that
city rode out, disguised as Tusks, to meet the hero
of Marengo, Austerlitz, sad Jens. On coming up
to his carriage, one of them advanced to the side of
it, and in the corrupt dialed of his nation, exclaim.
ed, '4 Your Majesty need not be afraid, we are not
Turks, but Posits Jews."
