Highness the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, Here-

VIENNA, 12.—Some journals have spoken
of the causes which hindered Prince Maurice of
Nassau,.frbin being present at the fete at Wiesbaden.
The following -is the statement considered as most
worthy in our circles :—" Prince Maurice, who is in
Hungary, had been hunting in the vicinity of his resi-
dence. A netghbOuring nobleman happened to meet
one of the Prince's htintsmen on his ground and im-
mediately shot him. The Prince being informed
of the circumstance, hastened,- accompanied by a
servant, to the.nObleman, and remonstrated with him
'A. Hungarian nobleman,' he replied, is master of
life and death on his-own estate, and you shall imme-
diately have another proof of it.' Saying this, the
Hungarian shot the Prince's innocent servant. The
Prince, excited by this barbarous act, drew out -a
loaded pistol, and shot the nobleman, who died on the
spot. The German Prince is still confined in a Hun-
garian fortress."
