PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin of the 10th inst., says—
" Rumours of resignations offered and accepted,
in addition to that of the Minister of the Interior,
are naturally afloat, but for the moment, at least,
I think, they are premature. Every one admits
that the ex-Minister of the Interior is a man of
firm convictions and strong character, but the
majority behold his retirement without regret, as
he was too much the head of a faction to be a
Minister. M. de Westphalen is a deputy, he will
probably be re-elected, and if he accepts a new
calling he may still render important services to
his country. Who will be his definitive successor
as Minister of the Interior has not yet been decided.
M. do Schleinitz, President of the Province of
Silesia, is the most likely candidate.
" M. von Usedom is spoken of as likely to suc-
ceed the present Minister of Public Instruction and
Worship, and as future members of the Ministry
the names of MM. de Witzleben, Bonin, Von
Schlemuller, and others are brought forward.
"Their Majesties the King and Queen leave
Sans-Souci on the 12th inst. in the forenoon, and
proceed, via Roderau, to Leipzig, where they will
stop over-night. Their different resting-places will
be Hof, Bamberg, Augsburg, Kufstein, where his
Majesty will remain on the 15th, which is the
anniversary of his birth, and Innspruck. Thence
the august travellers will continue their voyage by
Brixen to Meran. After a sojourn there of six
weeks, their Majesties proceed to Villa Carlotta, on
the Lake of Como, and later to Rome.

" The Marquis de Moustier, the French Envoy
to this Court, has returned to his post.

" The following circular has been sent by Baron
von Manteuffel, President of the Council of Mini-
sters to the different embassies at Berlin :

"The undersigned, President of the Council and
Minister of Foreign Affairs, has the honour to in-
form M. le Ministre
august master, having, in consequence of his pro-
longed incapacity for directing the affairs of State
himself, expressed to his Royal Highness the Prince
of Prussia the desire that he would assume the
Regency, his Royal Highness, agreeable to the
wish of the King, his august brother, and conform-
able to the 56th article of the Constitution, has as-
sumed the reins of Government as Prince-
Regent of the Kingdom of Prussia, in the name of
his Majesty, and until his complete restoration to
health.

" The undersigned has not omitted bringing
this important change to the knowledge of the
foreign Cabinets through the Prussian Legations
accredited to them. He did not, however, think
that he ought to delay in giving the same informa-
tion to the heads of the foreign missions resident at
Berlin, and he takes advantage of this opportunity
to renew to M. le Ministre the assurance of his
high consideration.

"' MANTEUFFEL.' "

A letter from Berlin, dated the 10th inst., in the
Cologne Gazette, says that, in reply to the notifica-
tion to foreign Courts of the establishment of the
Regency in Prussia, the four great Powers imme-
diately telegraphed their congratulations to the
Prince of Prussia. The first telegram received was
from the Emperor of Russia, which came in an in
credibly short space of time.

Baron de Manteuffel, President of the Council in
Prussia, addressed on the 9th a circular to the
chiefs of foreign missions in Berlin,informing them
officially of the appointment of the Prince of Prus-
sia to the Regency.
