PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, dated the Bth inst., says :
" Another lamentable police affair has occurred
here. M. Patzke, the chief of the executive police,
accusedfled,but has been arrested, and
is now in prison. What causes more sensation is,
of forgery,
that 111. Zedlitz, the head of the police, whose duty
it was to have M. Patzke watched, by order of the
Court, gave him three days' leave, which were
taken advantage of by the latter to effect his escape.
He was captured at Ystadt, in Sweden.
