Prfssan semoIfcial journal states that the Minis
tcrs Of war and Of the Interior have issued instructions
Ia the local authorities of the Rbcnis Provinces dated
Angus, T. by which the principle Is established that
not only the rights hui the duties OF Prussan subjects,
ccas with their unauthorized absence from the country
for a, least arg, and thai among those duties Tho
performance Of military service Is in luded II this
statement is correct Though 1t seems strange that II
should only published now and If the rule extends
nat only 10 thc Rhcnsh provinces but to the wholc
monarchy everything s granted which the United States
have always claimed FOR their adopted c!zcus nf Ger
man dcsceat, but which the Prusian government has
hitherto constantly refused 10 accede TO. 1 not
aware whether The decision arrived at by Prussia Is
due 10 tho action of the American government
whether it was thought advisable to anticipate such
ton by timely surrender Of The disputed primo pie
but, at all events IL will be highly satisfactory TO nu
merous class Of American citizens.
The dongs Of the Spanlagds i'll Chill, have caused no
little excitement the manufacturing circles OF Ger
many whose transactions with that republic arc cxten
sive and highly profitable. Quite number OF German
houses are established Valparaiso. and the Interrupt
ton nf businrss Communications with them would be
scro,,s blow for thclr correspondents, and for
branches OF industry would be perfectly runous How
ever it. is stated in accounts from Paris the Cabinet
OF Madrid has informed the governments Of France and
England that It il ready accept their mediation, and
that orders Admiral Paroja to attack
the Chilean ports, this affair likely to blow
without leading the unpleasant conscq that
anticipated 1t Ia generally remarked how much
anxious france and England interpose their good

similar act of aggression against Peru. which was
rather npplauded than otherwise by the European
Powers who seemed half inclined to establish empire
in Peru pendant TO Louis Napolcons Mexican abcr
ton. Things very much changed since then,
and the European Powers as socitous to avoid
everything that may give umbrago 10 the Washington
Cabinet and its rccolections Of the Monroe Doc
trinc. ut tho time they were careless OF offending
IT, Tho Paris correspondent Of Berlin paper relates
Curious instance Of the nervousness with which
tho French government seized nowadays nj the
prospect OF any collision even OF angry discus
sion. with the United States. The Emperor Of Brazil
had had several steamers built French docks to
be used against Paraguay and had ordered others but
the former have not been allowed to sa and the latter
have had to be transferred to English shpbudcrs. The
French demonstrated in vain with the Minister
of CONNER c, pointing out that England would profit by
their loss when after all, Brazil would not be prevented
from attaining her object The government rejected all
their petitions evidently for fear OF offending the Tn ted
States aud not from any particular regard for Paraguay
IL strikes me, though, that the Emperor OF Brazil
has lately married his daughter and heiress
TO q prince or the House OF Orleans, which
partly explain the sudden RoF displayed by the
French government against Brazilian ornaments 1t
well known that the antpathy OF Louis Napoleon to the
Orleans family amounts almost to monomana. and no
wonder; he owed his life 10 old Louis Philippe, and
showed his gratitude by conscatng his chdrens pro-
perry. II s always difficult, says La R0chciou-
cault, to forgive o favor than an injury.
The Court are exceedingly annoyed at the en-
gagcmcnt of tho Princess Helene o; England, third
daughter OF Queen Victoria, To a younger brother
Of the Duke OF Augusicnburg. The Intelligence was
quite unexpected, as II always believed that
the Princess would marry Prince E'mar, OF Oldcn-
burg who Is per" grao in their regime.
Thus, by strange coineideuce Queen Victoria viii
be nearly related all the three conendng parties ia
the struggle for the inheritance of Schcswig Hosien.

stripped of half his domnons by the fatherin law
her oldest daughter ostenrby 10 vndcate the claims
OF her younger daughters brother-in law who Is now
being choused out OF his birthrght by his pretended
patron. They must be happy family when they all
come together
