AN ENGLISH DESERTER.—A non.commissioned
officer its the garrison of Kingston, Canada West,
received last month a letter dated from the camp before
Petersburg, written by a deserter who, signing, himself
anonymously "A Gunner of the Royal Artillery," is well
known. The writer says, "I am sorry that I was such a
foul as to be persuaded to come over here, where you are
driven about worse than niggers. Please to tell my com-
rades not to be guided by them crimps, for they tell you
that you'll get 800 dole„ but it is no such thing ; all you
get is 100 dots., and that they will rob you of if you chn't
look out. I will tell you who brought me over; ,
If you go and search their house you will find some of my
clothes there. Them men ought to be severely punished,
for I tell you its nothing better than trading with a lot of
cattle. There are some more that are trying to got away,
and they say they will get them away in spite of you.
Please tell them if they know when they are well cff they
will stop where they are, unless they want to be treated
worse than slaves. Please to put this in the papers, so as
no other soldier shall beduped. Please tell them not to
belie've their,---- lies, for it is all false ; what they want is
to sell them as slaves. They -ought to be found out and
punished. I would freely do four years to be back again.
Please let my comrades see this."

GERMANY.

The Cologne Gazette of the 13th says—" The
States of Southern Germany appear to be rosign,
ing themselves to the reconstitution of the Zo
rein. A letter from Studtgard states that the
Minister of Finance urgently demands that tb.e new
Zollverein shall be adhered to before the list of
October, and the King of Wurtembzrg is :mid to
have stated in private conversations that the non-
acceptance of the French Treaty of Csrtraarteco wee
iinposkible. In Blvaria M de Schrenk, it is true, is
said to have declared that ho would never sax his
signature to that document, but his refusal may be
got over. There is at present no Minister of Cam..
fierce in that country, although the Budget prov ides
for the formation of such a ministry, and grants
the funds of the Minister's salary. Oae will there-
fore be appointed who may sign the treaty without
that fact preventing M de Schreak from remain-
ing President of the Council."
