Thereupon a correspondent Of The Times

tonshment increased WHEN found that the man
from whose mouth they proceeded was no less
parsonage than the American minister. who is
indebted for his exalted position among us
simply to the fact that he is the representative
OF a nation whose chief pride and boast it is
that they established their independence by a
successful insurrection. Yet, compared with
the grievances of which that nation complained,
do not hesitate to express my conviction that,
both morally and politically, the vantage ground

which was the well known brutal outrage on a
simple maiden, whole assemblies of the people
would unanimously exclam-'There shall be
no more serfs; we will no longer be tire ated as
beasts. If We work for the lords, it shall be for
pay.
"The demands implied in these touching
words have, thank God, long since been con-
coded in this happy country. 1t is only in our
school histories that Wat Tyler, is still called a
rebel. The American minister may not be par

THE zOLLvEREIN.
According to the Cologne Gazette the cabinet
of Berlin has within the last few weeks ad
dressed communication to the Austrian gov
ernment upon the present commercial and Gus
tom relations of Germany. After remarkng
that Prussia has Eever ceased to direct its en-
deavors towards union Of all German states
in the province Of material interests, the writer
proceeds to observe that to establish such a
union on a solid basis, it is necessary to advance
gradually, taking existing interests into account
Then CHANGING at the actual situation, he de-
clares that Prussia will be prepared to enter
upon negotiations for the conclusion of a treaty
with Austria, so soon as the Zolverein shall be
completely reconstructed. The note is said to
be conceived in the most courteous and concia
tory terms, without containing any expression to
imply surrender Of the privileges hitherto main
tanned in Berlin on the subject.
The Frankfurter states that all danger of a
rupture between Prussia and the Southern Zol-
verein States may be considered at an end; that
Prussia is ready at once to lay down the basis Of
a treaty with Austria, and give positive assn
RANGES respecting future commercial union.
JUNCTION OF THE BoURBoNs
letter from Merbaden, dated the 2lst of
May, says;
The news has been received by a courier
this evening that the Count de Chambord and
suite will arrive Immediately, and that the Or.
leansts, having at their head the dukes Of Mont
pensier, de Memo urs and d'Aumale, accompa-
MED by the Queen Amelia, will arrive at Ems
at the same time"
This fact, taken in connection with the recent
position taken by the three powers, would seem
to show that serious movement against Louis
Napoleon is contemplated.
