The Prussian Moniteur publishes the subjoined :
The King having terminated his course of
treatment, left Coblentz for Schwalbach to meet
the Emperor of Russia, who had come there from
Kissingen, and who was to remain four and twenty
hours near the young Grand Duchess, now residing
there. The King arrived at five o'clock and
alighted at the Hotel All6e-Saal, where the Em-
peror immediately joined him. After half an
hour's conversation the two Sovereigns proceeded
on foot to visit the Grand Duchess. The King
returned at six, and then proceeded to the railway
station to take the train back to Coblentz." The
Emperor of Russia, who is now at Kissingen, is
said to have expressed to several persons on his re-
turn the great satisfaction which he felt at the
nature of the conference with the King of Prussia-
" A singular entertainment, almost approaching
the grotesque," says the Gazette de France, " Was
offered to the King of Prussia lately on his visit
to Wiesbaden. On a small islet in the Rhine was
constructed in wood work a grand portico, semi-
circular, supposed to represent Olympus, and artis-
tically ornamented with the statues of all the divi'
nities. The tallest men of the regiment were
selected to personate these gods and goddesses.
They were clothed in white drapery, strongly
starched, so as to imitate the rigid appearance
of
marble ; then each, having his face covered with
white paint, was raised upon his pedestal. On the
right of all was posted a colossal sub-commissimie'
officer, charged with the preservation of order. ge
cried out Steady !' to the divinities, whenever the
Royal steamer came in view. Strict prohibition
was pronounced against liquors being served t°
the statues during the fete."
A telegram from Prague, in the'Press of:Violist
says :—" The town of Badweis is in flames by th!
act of an incendiary. The fire broke out tho
afternoon in the Brain-gasse. The post-office and
the court-house and fifty houses have bee:
destroyed. At eight this evening (August 14) l„
learn that the conflagration has been got under.
The Pays has the subjoined : —" The 12th nuev
ber of the Lanterne, which was to have bee°
published in Paris, has appeared only in BelgiuM'
and we learn that it has been stopped at the froli;
tier. This issue contains, it is said, outrages
against the Empress, which is conduct quite eon

A singular conflict has just arisen between
of

the Reformed religion there. The new Gile,
