There is no foundation for the statement that the
King of Hanover has embodied a Hanovarian legion for
service with the French army against the Prussians. The
report that a son of the King of Hanover had taken
service under the Emperor Napoleon is equally in-
correct,

LARGE ARRIVAL OF SHIPS AT SHIELDS.-011
Sunday the largest fleet of vessels entered Shields harbour
that has arrived for some time, upwards of two hundred
ships coming in. Among them was a great number of
Norwegians and Danes. In the course of the day the
steamer Lord Raglan arrived from Hamburg, and reported
having been informed that a Hull steamer, with a number
of Prussian seamen on board bound for Rotterdam, had
been seized by a French war vessel. The Lord Raglan
reported also that the entrance to the Elbe is blockaded,
and only a small passage is left for steamers. In the
evening the screw steamer Ulster, one of the North
German Company's boats arrived in the Tyne from
Rotterdam ; the screw steamer Harsa also, from Ashuns ;
and the barque Young Heinrick.
SWIFT PREPARATION.—A fact eminently worthy of
notice, as proving the perfection of organisation attained
in the " National Army " system, as adopted by Prussia,
is that within the space of 16 days 930,000 men have been
mhbilised, put en pied de guerre, and transported
to their respective stations. On the morning
of the 16th ult., the order to mobilise was
telegraphed from Berlin to every district com-
mand throughout the monarch ; by the night of the
2ndlinst the whole of the Prussian army (as well as that of
Southern Germany) was armed, equipped, and in its
appointed place, with all its baggage, materiel, ammuni-
tion, forage and other appurtenances. On the 21st, five
days after the calling out of its first man (that is of its
war increment), it began to move ; and now its older of
battle is complete in every direction.—German Corre-
spondent of Telegraph,
