the case of the brig Eirginian, charged with
being engaged in the slave trade, came up.

After the most thorough examination Of the
case, TIC Judge acquitted her-not because he
did not think she had been engaged, or Was
prepared to be 50 engaged, but because the tcs-
tinony was not sufficiently strongto convict her.
Her scquittal did not result in her discharge,
however, for she is set in the custody Of {. S.

ALLEGED ISrERcEpT1oy OF ROYAL CORES.

ALLEGED INTERROGATION OF ROYAL Torres
PoSDEScr.--Somc of the Prussian journals
state that the French Envoy at Berlin has de-
manded from Baron Schilcinitz explanations
respecting a letter, alleged to have been writ
ten by the Prince Regent of Prussia to the
Prince Consort Of England, in which the
Prince Regent is said to have made soEle re-
marks very unfarorable to the policy Of the
Emperor Louis Napoleon. Baron schlleinitz
is said by the Dusseldorf journal TO have re-
fused any explanation, and to have declared
that as Il Constitutional Minister, he took the
responsibility Of all official negotiations with
foreign countries, but that he knew nothing Of
the Prince Regents private correspondence
| and neither could nor would ask whether the
| pretended letter was genuine, as he Iad no
right to inquire respecting the Prince regents
private communications. One PruSslan Jour
nal atfirms that the Prince Regents letter be-
came known in consequence Of some lnhiscre-
ton in London but some journals affirm that
the letter was procured surrcp.itiously by the
French police, in the same way that other
P~russian and Russian documents are known to
nave been formerly obtained ~ the spies in
the pay of the French Legation al Berlin.
