GERMAN PAPERS.

KONIGSBERG, SEPT. 14.—His Majesty has addressed
the following Cabinet order to M. Von Rochow. Minister
of State and ChiefPresidcnt of the provinces of Prussia:
" I cannot leave the province in which I have re-
ceived so many proofs of faithful attachment without
the most grateful feelings, and shall always Wain the
memory of them in my heart. While I invoke the bles-
sing of the Almighty on my faithful subjects of Prussia,
may they be convinced that the welfare of the province
will always be an object of my most anxious care, and
that I shall bear in mind to contribute as far as the re-
sources of the State allow to the prosperity of the city of
Konigsberg, and of the provinces whose homage I have
just received. You are to make these my sentiments
publicly known.

LOSS OF OF THE LEE STEAMER, OF C°/t1ir..1,0
We have to announce further particulars of the 155.3 of
Map
Lce steamer. of Cork, on the testimony of C"Pta'n br,, it
Jenkins, of the Elizabeth, of New Quay, and a s'a'-tahe
left on board by the Echo, of Dublin, after taklhars-
crew from the steamer, which is as follows :---“ O.,nht• oil
day, the 3d of September, the Echo, Evans, of
lith'int,'ihs

in St. George's Channel, the Lee steamer, of afrnodip her
Cork for Liverpool, in a sinking state, and took hands,
the crew, consisting of the master and three nicr3 jorre9
and put one of the Echo hands on board, earl", her in
Nelson, and took the steamer in tow ; after br.,aviin:conve'
tow the towline parted, but as soon as the
the'''e stainer
niently could put about, she bore down upon Id Selsnn
and hailed the seaman, and Captain Evans t°' 3 ligh
to keep the steamer's head to the north, and keePfter the
upon deck, which the seaman Nelson did, and as,„ Ls,
Echo making another tack she went round the
and said nothing, and he never saw her aft'r% aban
so Nelson was left in the steamer, after hein.ght and
doned by her own crew, and left by himself one rrg. 4th of
one day without any provisions; fortunately, on the 4th
September, about seven o'clock in the even Lee the tomer
beth, of New Quay, Captain Jenkins, saw the'bee ssonve
in distress, and bac down upon her, and as soon as `I, her

Nelson baled for two hours, the pump being choke" boats
finding it impossible to keep her up, they took to the Lee
