PRUssIA-The Royal household of Prussia seems
to have a real - trouble in the wigwam." We have
already alluded TO the dissension between the Crown
Prince of Prussia and his father the King. In this
matter II IL quite extensively believed that the Crown
Prince is strongly influenced by his wife, the Princess
Louisa Of England, YictOria's eldest daughter. The
cause of this domestic quarrel is about as follows
After the King had substantially destroyed the free
dom OF the PruSsinn press, the Prince objected; on
June 81 last, recorded a formal protest; on the 4th
wrote to his father declaring the decree a violation of
the Prussian constitutional charter; and on the 9th
made a speech NJ Dlntzie, which does not seem very
violent to US, but which amounted to n formal sepa-
ration from the Ministry. The King on this proposed
to arrest the Prince las having been guilty Of "A mill
tary crime. he being a field marshal in the Prussian
army; y but was induced 10 give up this idea, and to
write his naughty boy a letter Of reProof The
Prince replied, saying, among other things:
" The address | delivered AT Dantzc is the result
Of calm reflection. | long owed il TO my conscience
and my position to profess, in the face Of the world,
an opinion the truth of which has forced itself upon
me more fully from day 10 day. The hope only Of

But now, ignoring my different views, the Ministry

my children. I shall make as courageous a stand for
my future "a you, my dear father, are making for

abroad II | am not allowed 10 speak my mlnd, L
must naturally wish to discover myself entirely from
the sphere Of politics."
This rather startled the old gentleman aud the
cabinet. and the King replied in n manner meant TO
be coucilistory. And lastly, the correspondence has
ONE out up TO this, its present point, in the German
newspapers, which means an appeal by monarchy TO
European public opinion.
An ENGLISH PICrURE OF THE ENGLIsR.-The Lon
don Morning Herald closes a sharp attack on Pal
merston and his policy, by the following picture Of
the present relations of England to the rest Of the
world
We have alienated all our old allies, and have vir-
tually severed our alliances with our new ones. We
are distrusted in Europe; We are despised in America.
We are hated from China to Paris, from ST. Peters,
burg 10 Rio Jaueiro. We have earned the dislike of
the Italians. the i'll will of Russia, the contempt Of
France. the hostility of Brazil, the ridicule of the
Yankees. and the profound mistrust of the COnfede
rates. The weak feel that they must always fear US,
for We seem 10 be on the watch TO pick a quarrel with
the weak; the strong see that they may insult US
with impunity, for there is nothing that We are not
ready 20 bear from the strong. Such are the results
of four years Of 4 liberal, spirited and consistent
foreign policy.
The Polish question remains unchanged. 1t is re-
ported that Baron Gross informed Earl Russell that
it was the opinion of the French Government. rels-
tive to the Polish negotiations, that ii is preferable
TO close the useless discussion.
