Resux Arts became vacant. Mr.. Mercy,
government official, Immediately set out to canvass
the members of the Academy, but was soon stopped
by an invitation to NJ. FOuld, who reproached him
for coyeting prize which the Minister was himself
eager for reminding him of the necessary discipline

official Prince Napoleon, witty and malicious,
hearing Of the Minister'S foolish pretenslons, nne'
diateE wrote a letter TO NJ. Foud expressing his
sstonsbment that the Minister should think of seat
at the Academy, while he, prince of the blood,
was about to offer himself q candidate, and re-
mindine him OF the respect due to the Imperial
house. You can easily imagine how angry tould
became at seeing himself exposed to rldicuie by the
Prince who told the story to all Paris.
The Queen, annoyed by the precedence claimed by
German Princes over Prince Albert, who, III the Con-
tlpental Court etiquette, ranks only as the younger
brother of a third-rate German Prince has raised
him to the rank of Prince COnsort, and has thus &C.
cured to him a higher position in Germany. still, as
such an exceptional rank is somewhat anomalous,
the poor Chief Cham berains of the Courts of Germa
Dy, which within the next year may be honored by
Prince Alberts visit, viii be at their wits end to
know bow to place him, If, by some un:owsrd
concurrence of circumstances a Russian Grandduke
or an Austrian Archduke should chance 10 be pres
emf at the same time.
The Princes of Europe have now merry time.
The Grand Duke of Baden and Prince OF Swe-
dea have lately celebrated their marriages; the Arch
duke Ferdinand Max of Austria has just gone to
Brussels to marry the daughter of King Leopold,
and the Grand Duke Michael OF Russia, the King of
Portugal, the King of SARDINIA, and the Prince Of
Prussia. are all Of them most hopeful Benedicts.
Still, though the demand for German Processes is
Just now rather brisk, the supply rs by far too large;

The last mail from the Cape brought most in
teresting document, namely, the speech OF Sir
George Grey, the accomplished Governor OF the
COLONY, at the opening of the Parliament, on the
9TH Of April The following is an official history OF
most curious delusion among the kaires, which
cannot fail altogether to change the haplts ana con-
dtion Of the nation. Inc Governor says:
A, the conclusion OF the late Kafffe war, the kaf-
fres were, at a public meeting, informed that they
would f5r the future, be placed under the govern
ment of their chiefs 10 be governed according to
K6fIe ldwr and usdges. consequently, even WneH
appeals were made 10 the Government by uRfortu-
nate people against the expressions OF their chiefs 1t
was ruled that in accordance with the principles upon
which the Government had decided 10 act, such ap-
peals against the chefs could not lie entertained.
The attire laws and usages, which were thus made
the paramount Institutions Of the country, MAKE pro-
vision for egelzing the Indulgence OF the CHEFS and
great people in every vice 81 Which TIE most Ce-
p:svec nature is capable, and for subJecung whole
I1iioD 90 the wort aud most degrading tyranny anC
oppression upon the pat o! few.
The well-known philanthropy Of England could
not allow such state Of things 10 last and accord
lnely Sir George Grey made arrangements by which
a European magistrate was located 10 each district
ID British Kefirara, and simple mode OF admins
terlng Justice was adopted, which gave security 70
LIE and property such as had never previously ueen
enjoyed ID that country.
AS necessary part of such system, ttc tines and

people became, as 10 all other British possessions,

.Ag paid for tie daties they performed By fired
sttpcnd provided by the Government which was made
BE- nearly az possible equivalent TO the advantages
they had derived under the former state OF things.
The resu OF such charge Of plan was, that al the
wort parts OF the Kare polity began to break
down, and ne !rtuence end authority 81 tAc chatS 10

and The well disposed among the K4fie evidently

hope"
The natural result Of the decline Of the power Of
the chiefs who, in spite Of the solemn assurance Of
the English at the conclusion of the war, had been
deprived of the Government while their nominal
subjects were treated not according to Kaifre but
70 English laws, was al excitement among the pec-
pie and combination among the chiefs, which,
however soon took most extraordinary shape:
