RUSSIA AND PRUSSIA.

The following from St. Petersburgh is of the 23d ult.:—
" It is already known that the Emperor of Russia had in-
vited the King of Prussia to be present at the inauguration
of the monument erected here in honour of the Emperor
Alexander. On the 20th of July the King of Prussia ad-
dressed the following letter from Toplitz to the Emperor:
"' Emperor, well-beloved brother and son-in law, I take
a most lively interest in the inauguration of the monument,
which will remain to future ages as a testimony of the extra-
ordinary efforts which were required to shake off the insup-
portable yoke, and will commemorate the glory of that Sove-
reign, who, by the power of his genius, awakened those efforts,
and directed them towards the desired object. Under these
circumstances I cannot but regret that insurmountable obsta-
cles will prevent my personal attendance at St. Petersburgh,
according to your invitation. I will, nevertheless, attend, by
representative, at the great solemnity ; and I entreat you to
Allow me to execute a plan which is dear to my heart, and in
accordance with the views expressed by your Majesty to my
son, Albert. Allow me, therefore to announce to you that a
portion of my army will be present on the occasion. It will
be composed of seventeen officers and thirty-eight soldiers of
my Guard, and your Imperial Majesty's regiment, all of whom
have shared in the memorable campaigns of the period about
to be celebrated. This detachment, which will be under the
command of my son Prince William, will represent the whole
army, which remembers with pride that remarkable epoch, as
well as its fraternal alliance with the Russian troops ; nor can
it forget the kindness of him who opened for it the paths of
victory, and placed it on an equal footing with its own army.
I entreat you, Prince, to honour these brave individuals with
your notice. Convinced of your consent, I send them without
awaiting your answer.—Receive the assurance, Sc.c.,
( Signed) "' FREDERICK WILLIAM."'
On the 18th ult. the Emperor addressed the Order of
the Day to the Russian army, communicating this letter as
a new proof of the indissoluble alliance that exists between
the two States.
