It has been stated that Marshal Saint Arnaud
went a few days to Sarrelouis to pay his respects to
the Prince of Prussia. The Prince received him
with great kindness, and conversed with him and
with the persons of his suite who were presented to
him. He then led the marshal by the hand into
another room, and conversed with him alone for
about half an hour. The prince afterwards took the
marshal to see some military manceuvres, which he
commanded ; and when they were over, entertained
him and his officers at breakfast. The marshal then
proceeded to Sarrebrouck, and the prince followed
a few minutes after. There his royal highness
passed some squadrons of cavalry in review,
and made them manoeuvre. In the evening lie
entertained the marshal and the officers who ac-
companied him at dinner. The prince, on taking
leave, shook Marshal Saint Arnaud several times
by the hand, told him that he thanked the Em-
peror Napoleon 111. for having sent him to him,
that he hoped he would attend next year some
grand manwuvres which are to take place in pre-
sence of the King, that he was very happy at the
good relations existing between France and Prus-
sia, and that he hoped that nothing would occur
to trouble them. The prince also shook by the
hand the generals who were with the marshal, and
addressed some kind words to the officers of his
suite.

A Berlin journal contains a letter from Vienna
of the 20th, which says :—" The cabinet of St.
Petersburg has given our government the formal
assurance that it will wait for the result of the
efforts of mediation to be made by M. de Bruck at
Constantinople, before it comes to a final decision
as to its conduct on the Eastern question."
The Journal de Franefort states that Count
Karnicki, the Austrian Minister in Switzerland,
will return to his post on the Ist of next month,
the Swiss Charge d'Affaires at Vienna having given
an assurance that the refugees of Lombardy who
remain in Ticino shall quit that canton. The cor-
don of Austrian troops on the frontiers of Ticino
will, says the Journal de Francfort, be then with-
drawn quo existing before the 6th
of February will be resumed.

A letter from Berlin of the 22d, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" The circular which the Minister
of Foreign Affairs has recently addressed to the
representatives of Prussia at the various courts of
Europe, relative to the Eastern question, recom-
mends them to speak of this affair in moderate and
conciliatory terms. Up to the present time no power
has accepted a mediation, properly so called. The
Prussian Government is not bound by any engage-
ment either to England and France, or to Russia or
any other power. Austria is believed to be in the
same position." Another letter from Berlin, in
the same journal, says :—" The King has just
issued an order, declaring any Protestant officer
who should solemnly promise a Catholic priest to
bring up his children in the Catholic religion, to
be guilty of an act unworthy of an officer, and that
in consequence ho must be dismissed the army.
The Prussian Times, in noticing the order, says
that such a promise is contrary to the legislation
on the mixed marriages. The order has produced
a great sensation."
