which We annauonced the capture OF Sehastopol, it
also transpied that Prince frederick William Of
Prussia had arrived at Balmoral for the purpose Of
improving his acquaintance with the Princess
Royal" Il ia understood that in the year 1851,
when her Royal Highness had attained the mature
age of ten years, kind of preliminary understand

THE BEN FRANKLIN CAsE.-Our consul at
the port Of st. Thomas sent in vigorous
protest against the outrage of firing into The
American steamer Ben franklin, by the
commander of one of the forts at the en-
trance of the harbor The Danish govern
ment must pay the damage of this act, or be
prepared to see 8" Sam" in his wrath. If it
were Great Britain or France, perhaps it
could be explained but Denmark cannot
play the tyrant and set at defiance the laws
of civilized nations with impunity. The
letter of our consul shows that the Outrage
was wanton and has no justification. After
the first shot, the steamer came to halt,
but Notwithstanding this, three shots Were
fred at her, and one of them passed through
the vessel doing much damage, but fortunate

GEN. CANRoBERr.-We find the following
bit of gossip floating through the papers
without credit. How much truth there may
be in it we know not, but copy it for its
novelty:
1t is said that the authority of Gen. Can
robert is not questioned or haggled at, as
was that of st. Arnaud. He is acknowl-
edged by all parties as man of honor and
lofty mind. He is believed to be a son of
the emperor Napoleon and of Madame de
Raincy. He passed the early portion of his
life in the enjoyment of the ease and joIity
which large fortune can bestow, and it was
not until called from his life Of dissipation
to attend upon the dying bed Of his mother
that he learned the secret of his birth. I'M
mediately, Notwithstanding the accession of
fortune suddenly acquired by his mothers
death, notwithstanding the habit of idl ness
and luxury he had INDUCED in ever since his
birth, he declared that, with such blood in
his veins, he should scorn to remain inact-
i've. He instantly set out Tor Algiers as
volunteer in the chasseurs, and has risen by
slow degrees to the station he now occupies.
The moral effect of his relationship to the
great Napoleon has been immense upon the
troops under his command, and enabled him
10 obtain an ascendancy which st. Arnaud
never could acquire

considered pretty large Indebtedness.
