PRUSSIA.
"In Prussia," says the Nerd," the electoral cir-
cular of the Minister of the Interior, Al, de Jagow,
is warmly discussed in the press and in the pre-

paratory meetings of the electors. It is found, and
not without reason, that M. de Jagow, speaks as a
functionary, and not as a statesman, and the feudal
journal has repeatedly published articles quite simi-
lar to the programme to which he has attached his
name. The effect which his unfortunate circular
will produce upon the electors may already be
judged of; it will convert no one to the political
faith of the Minister, but will cause all shades of
sincerely liberal opinions to close their ranks,
and to prove, by the choice of serious and capable
men, how unjust the accusation was, which
the new Minister threw in the face of the
late Chamber, of its being poor ins capacity and
poltical intelligence, and of con spiring against
monarchical institutions."

A Berlin letter of the 26th says :
" The King paid another rather long visit to-
day to M. d'Auerswald. The ex-Minister is a
friend of infancy of the King, and it may be so
believed that he does not cease to exercise a cer-
tain influence over his Majesty. Others think
that the King accords at this moment such a
confidence to M. de Roon, Marshal Wrangel, and
General Manteuffel, that the councils of the late
Minister produce little effect. Count de Berns-
torff is about to address to the representatives
of Prussia abroad a circular describing the
character of the /ate Ministerial crisis. The elec-
tion of the first degree will take place at the
beginning of April, immediately after Easter. The
ex-Minister of Justice M. de Bernath, will, it is said,
be named superior president of the province of
Posen, in the place of M. de Bonin, who will be
transferred to Brandeburg. Personal misunder-
standings between M. de Bonin and the Archbishop
of Posen appears to have in some measure contri-
buted to the hostility which the Catholic clergy
manifest towards the Government. The hereditary
Prince will leave to -morrow for Carlsruhe, from
where he will proceed next week to Cologne to
receive his wife on her arrival from England. The
Dowager Queen has gone to Dresden, where she
intends remaining some time. The Prince de la
Tour d'Auvergne, French Ambassador to Berlin,
will, it is said, leave next week for Paris, to make a
rather long stay"
The Stern-Zoitung, under date of the 26th inst.,
publishes the following notification :—" The public
journals for some days past have been publishing
various reports relative to pretended financial opera-
tions commenced or projected by the Minister of
Finances. We shall not undertake to refute, one
by one, every report circulated in this respect ; but
we wish to state, once for all, that these reports are
devoid of foundation."
