made TO this subject in the English papers 10 as delicate
manner as was possible but now it is opepIy spoken
o. ana the Berlin correspondent Of the Belfast NJ va
Letter has the following remarks:
Inc unhappy relations that exist between The Prin
cess Royal of England ard the husband selected for
her Oy me laws which regulate royal alliances Rave
now become SO well known that it is idle to remain
longer re'lcent on the subject 1t is stated that the
circumstance has Occasiontd the veest concern in
the most distinguished households in the land and thai
no pains nave been spared make representations in
the quarter to which appeal might be supposed TO
nave some weight. That royal alliances esat nrpsnu
conducted, should terminate unhappily, cannot be a
matter OF surprise but the Prince OF Prussia from his
youth aud apparent frankness aud candor gave prom
lse OF proving an exception TO the general rule OF
German Princes IN this respect | remember having
been present when His Royal Highness made a speech
IN reply to an address OF cOngrauation from the Man
chester Chamber of Commerce. 10 which he stated with
Extraordinary emphasis and in very fair English that
1t would be The study of his life to contribute as
much as possible to the happiness of the Princess
Royal, and thus establish claim upon the good will
and affections of the English people thc cotton lords
cheered this chvalrOus declaration and pronounced the

certain very severe quarrel took place between the
royal couple and that the princess visit England had
reference 10 the affair -Four hundred years ago this
would have leen sufficient cause for war between the
parties their subjects counting for nothing except in so
far as they were good soldiers and paid But now
even divorce would not provoke such reprsal This
time last year the Prince of Wales was with US teed
and honored By the last he was at Cologne

with no less brilliant reception than here. Surely as
much aduatlon must ultimately spoil the best edu-
Gated youth. lie is now all fuss and feathers He
was received by the King and Queen of Prussia in state
the Princess Royal This unhappy sister, being in full
ball dress and sparkling with diamonds. Ihe King was
dressed in rich uniform, aud his breast shone with
decorations. The Prince wore his scarlet uniform and
a hat with waving pumes The cheering was de afen-
ing; Cologne went mad, dirty as it is, and the band
struck up God Save the Queen. What is it all about?
Is Albert Ed dward going Berlin whip the man who
behaves so badly to his sister? Mol court etiquette
torbids that
The truth is II. R. H. is matrimonial excursion.
Apropos letter from the banks of the Rhoe says the
sweet prince has improved in appearance since bis visit
to the land Of the tree He begins to look little like
the portraits OF the Georges, his ancestors, and his re-
cent hard service 10 the camp Ireland has tanned bis
cheeks. So he looks manly more sodierke but
not quite SO pretty more ike good, nSibe, big
ncsed young fellow, and less like wax image He Was
dressed on this occasion IL black semi-mitary uni
