An arrest was made yesterday, in this city, of a
person charged with the seduction of lady, under
the most revolving circumstances. The arrest was

gentleman is a young physician, that his victim
was the daughter of physician residing short
distance from the city The crime was accom-
pills he'd by the administration of chloroform. The
lady died in childbirth, and with her dying breath
assured her father that all knowledge as TO how
or by whom she became pregnant, was as deep
and unfathomable mystery TO her as II was 10

was brought 10 this city, under the supposioa thar

distinguished physician under whose charge she
was placed, promptly discovered the true cause of
her illness, he sent her home with some gentle

the tue cause of her trouble. The death occurred
some months since, but the accused has kept out

German Politics-The Emperor or Russia's
Visit 10 War saw.
From the London Globe, Government Organ]
German politicians, of all opinions, have receatiy
concentrated their attention on the late visit OF the
Emperor of Russia to Warsaw, and ths English
journals usually most familiar with the mysteries
Of diplomatic information, have maintained a most
expressive silence on the result of the proceedings
in question. II is, however, quite certain thai this
visit was accompanied by circumstances of the
highest moment TO the cause OF European peace,
and that these must exercise lasting influence on
the proximate constitution of Central Earope, and
one most fatal to the Austrian schemes which we
have never ceased to denounce as the choicest de-
vices for perpetuating the divisions and misgovern-
We need not tell our readers that the German
absolutists have mainly relied on two methods for
obstructiDg the policy advocated, under various
notifications, by the Frankfort Parliament and the
present Prussian cabinet. Austria has been salts
ficd with putting tacit veto on every projected
constitution which did not secure her own absolute
preponderance, by including the whole Austrian
empire, with Hungary and Lombardy. within the
German confederation. The States of the second
order, such as Bavaria and Wirtemberg, unable to
initiate such aydacity as this have bent all their
efforts appeal 10 the other powers-urging
that the organization Of Germany Is not domestic
question, but an European one that is, that 1t
should virtually be submitted to the sole arbtrage
of Russia. Last year, the Bavarian government
had the nefIabe meanness TO solicit the opinion OF
France, England, and Russia, on the degree of
tole ration they were disposed to extend to plans
in its own Parliament, and Lord Palmerston's
steady refusal to NEEDLE with a matter concerning
the dearest rights Of an independent nation Is not
the least Of his sins in the eyes OF some foreign
courts. AS the Prussian cabinet evinced stronger
determination than ever to proceed firmly GU its
path of constitutional reform, both the engines to
which we have alluded have been employed against
the prospect of the late Berlin Congress such
pitch, that note was actually addressed to the
King Of Prussia, informing him, in plain terms that
be met by declaration of war on the part of Aus
tria, The King Of Prussia took this note in his
hand anu read :: IN crtenso to the princes as SEM
bled at the Berlin Congress. We understand that
his Majesty prefaced il with a statement OF his
own resolution to disregard these menaces, wolfe
he left his allies free to consult their interests
on the share they might take in the quarrel, should
1t ever be pressed to an armed decision. The re-
suit Of this appeal was the unanimous determine
ton Of the princes 10 remain true TO the ALI OF
May, 1919, and the appointment of temporary
Ministry for the Union. Fooled in this attempt the
next move of the German absolutists, was a sup
plea TO their Lord Paramount, the Emperor Of
Russia. The Emperor's arrival at Warsaw was
hailed earnest Of his determination personally
TO pspect a crisis so fraught with danger TO the
principles which he was represented TO have won
80 pure glory by maintaining, and Of which cir
cumstances made him now the sole available pre-
tector. France, he was told, was paralyzed by her
own dissensions, and if England was not likely 10
co operate actively in restoring the balance OF Eu-
rope her public opinion might at least be trusted To
withhold Lord Palmerston from any Interference
on the other side The prayers OF the small Ger
man Courts were artfully calculated 10 make
impression on the most susceptible elements OF tbs
Imperial mind; and, 60 last effort AT extinguish-
ing this formidable chance OF European war, tbs
Prince OF Prussia was despatched from Berlin with
the mission Of couDterac Jog such mischicvous mis-
rcprese nations. The ties Of blood, and the long
alliance between the two countries, deprived this
proceeding Of any look of unworthy difference to
Russia; and much as we may deplore any occasion
for invoking the opinion Of foreign potentates on
the domestic affairs Of single States, 1t will be al
l.wed that, after procaning his readiness for war,
the King IL Prussia could well afford to take
counsel with his neishbor, for the sake Of pre-
serving peace.
