ANOTHER LETTER OF FRED. HECKER's.

Translated for the Chicago Tribune
An anonymous writer in the New York
Stats Zeitung, having addressed an open
letter" to Hecker, in which he presumed to
question the course of the latter, and his ad-
vice to his German fellow-citizens but having
failed, after all, to sign his full name to the
account, Hecker answers in the following char
acteristic and pungent manner:
" In reply to your kind letter in No. 173 of
the New York Stats Zeitung, accept the fol-
lowing reply, as corresponding with my nature :
81. You, Mr.. w. B. H., may 90 with the
Black Barons; l shall go with the People.
90. You, sir, may be afraid of the Know
Nothings, and by that very fact give them new
courage. We Western men do not fear them

ply in paper which has studied Shakspeare's

are only fit to frighten German children.
a. The two letters, one to Mr.. Esselen and
the other to the Beleville Committee, are mine
Are you now, sir, satisfied in regard to your
curiosity?
"My name is not F. H., but Frederick
Hecker.
"P. S.-As l have too many other useful
things to do, which fully occupy my time, it is
actually impossible for me to reply to all the

There is scarcely anything worth calling
news embraced in the summary for the week.

favorably reported of, being fully an average
one.

presence of the dignitaries of the State, and the

fireworks, characterized the festivities. Another
movement among the Orleanists had taken
place. Dispatches state that the Duchess Or.
leans, Count de Paris, Duke de Chartres and
NJ Theirs. had left H...L,r,; ior Ostend, in
consequence of despatch from England,
SrGin-The news IL uninteresting. Reports,
needing confirmation, of disturbances in Cadiz
while disarming the National Guard, but ex-
cepting this the work of disarming was going
on quietly everywhere.
Portugal.-A Government steamer was load

cholera was increasing at Lisbon.

port of an attempted instruction at Naples is
untrue.
