PRUSSIA.

The Prince of Wales, according to advices from
Berlin, will leave that city on Saturday to return
to England.

A number of members of the Chamber of Nobles
of Prussia sonic time ago sent an address to the
King, and his Majesty has returned the following
reply to the Prince de Hohenlohe Ingelfingen,
President of the Chamber :
" Dear Prince,—The address of the members of
the Chamber of Nobles which you have sent me
has been to me a consolation and a joy in my
state of sickness, which, to my great regret, still
continues. I have recognised in it, dear Prince,
your love and fidelity to me personally, and also
those of the other nobles. lam convinced that in
these times of distress the Chamber of Nobles has
not lost courage, but, as becomes Christians and
faithful subjects will, under existing circumstances,
carry higherthe flag of Prussia. However painful
it may be for me to be prevented from fulfilling
the duties of my Royal position, I nevertheless
feel confident that the King of Kings, who has
in his inscrutable decrees afflicted me with this
malady, will continue to give to my beloved
brother the wisdom and the strength necessary to
direct the government to his honour, to protect the
Church, to secure right and justice, and to main-
tain the laws and the constitutions of the country.
You, Prince, and all the members of the Chamber
of Lords, cannot give me a better proof of- your
fidelity and of your attachment than by support-
ing my dear brother in his difficult mission by
your counsels, and by aidieg him with your zea-
lous co-operation in all he may undertake for the
honour of God and for the welfare of the country
I remaS, my dear Prince, your kind friend.

" FREDERIC WILLIAM."
