Much interest was excited IN the island,
arising out of the case of the captain and
crew of the American bark William, which
was wrecked on the coast during severe
gale last spring. Captain Pelletier, the COM
mander, together with all his men, were
seized as they were cast ashore, loaded with
heavy irons, and carried 70 POrt-au Prince,
where they were cOnfiued in subterranean
dungeons. The unfortunate men were, not
withstanding the protests of the American
Consul and the remOnstrances of the several
European Censuls, confined five months
without trial. On September 5 the form of a
trial was had, when, without any witnesses
having been heard on either side, the captain
was condemned TO be shot, and the pilot and
ore of the sailors, an American, were SEN
tenced 10 four years in the chain-gang. The
remainder OF the crew, to the number
of eight, had, through the importantly of the
| French Consul, been set at liberty, The yes

condemned mariner to ruin.

PRUSSIA.


The coronation of the King took place in
the Church OF CASTLE, at KOnigsberg, on the
18Th. The splendor of the various process
sons was very great. After the ceremony
various addresses were presented, to which
the King replied as follows:
"1he Kings of Prussia have now worn the
Crown one hundred and sixty years. / am
the first King TO ascend the throne, since the
Crown, who has been surrounded with insti-
tuIions in harmony with our times. Bat,
remembering that the Crown comes from
God, have been notified by my coronation
in this sacred place that received it in hu-
pility, and know that the prayers of my
people accompanied me in this solemn act.
1.-THE love and fidelity displayed toward
me since my accession to the throne. and
which has Just been manifested toward me
in such touching manner, are tokens | may
reckon, under all circumstances, of the
fidelity, devotedDess and self sacrificing spirit
ofmy people. Trusting in these qualities,
could Ieuounce the custom of requiring the
oath of allegiance and fidelity from my faith
ful people. The gratifying proofs of their
affection and devotion, afforded on occasion
of late event, has strengthened this conf
dence. The providence of God has preserved
the blessings of peace to our dear Fatherland.
My valiant army will protect il from dangers
without. AS regards dangers in the interior,
Prussia will remain free of them, because tue
throne of her Kings remains strong in the
power and right of unity between the King
and people, which has made Prussia great.
While il continues TO exist we shall be en-
abltd, ON the ground of acknowledged
rights, TO resist the dangers of an agitated
period, and all threatening Storms. May God
will it So"
The Minister of State then read several
orders; also, an act of amnesty and several
grants of nobility, sc. The King accepted al
invitation to the ball to be given by the Ear
] OF ClaIend don, in honor of the event.

THE WAX DEPARTMENT.

WASHINGTON, July 24-The most vigorous
measures are being adopted by the war de-
partment for a thorough reorganization of tine
army. The old systems will be changed to
practical modes for the better management of
our forces, by providing reliable officers To
this end the secretary of war has issued Il gen
eral order, to-day that all officers of regiments
will be subject to examination by a board of
military officers, to be appointed by the de-
partment, with the concurrence oil the COM
mander-in-cIief, as to their fitness Tor their po-
sitons. Those found incompetent will be re-
jected, and their positions will be filled by
competent officers that may have passed eX
animation by the military board.
Up to noon today nearly eighty thousand
men had been accepted, and are at this mo
ment being marshaled into the service all over
the north. Many are now in motion to Wash
ington, The efforts OF the war department
and the generalin-chief have done much to
restore confidence. The prompt appointment
of Gen. Mcclellan has given undoubted sat
isfaction, and created great enthusiasm among
the soldiers.

JEFFERSON CITY, July 24.-In convention
this morning, Mr.. Moss introduced resolu-
ton that any change in the executive govern
ment OF the state by the present convention,
will not conduce to the welfare OF Missouri.
The resolution was strongly debated, and
finally referred to the committee of seven, to
report what action this convention shall take.
Had vote been taken, it would have been
lost After some other unimportant business
the convention adjourned till tomorrow.
The city was thrown into a state of great
excitement, last evening, owing to picket
guards firing on. one of their own officers,
who galloped past them, not knowing they
were there. Fortunately, he was not hurt.
The alarm was great The artillery summon
ed the troops in the city and fair ground to
arms, and report got out that Gov. jackson
was approaching the city with large force
which, of course, was false.

New York, July 24.-The steamship Mar
ion, from Havana 18Th, and 0ia Key West 10Th,
arrived here this evening. At Havana, the
British screw trigates Jason and SpiefuI, and
the Spanish frigate Isabel La Catolica, direct
from Port Au Prince, brought intelligence of
Il complete settlement of the Haytien-Sp Spanish
difficulties, TO the satisfaction OF all parties
concerned.
The American war vessels Niagara and
Crusader, were in pursuit of the privateer
Sumter. The health OF Havana was consd.
cred very fair for the season. The fever has
not assumed the epidemic type, and exists
principally among newly arrived troops from
Spain. The rainy reason has not yet set in.
No U. S, vessels were at Key West except
the Wanderer, in command OF Lieut.. Breeze,
who was enforcing the blockade.
The Union feeling at Key West was pre-
dominant, although it is thought one third of
the people are secretly secessionists. they
are kept in order by the presence of the mill.
