THE PRUss1AN PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
Military Correspondence ofthe London Times
BERLIN, Monday, June Il.
The King has apparently been dis
cussing the plan Of the campaign during the last
three days. On Saturday he had long interview
with General von Setback, who commands the
Fourth corps d'a,mee, and Prince Auguste siof
Wurtemburg who is the General OF the Corps OF
the Guards. He was afterward engaged Tor seves :
War, when Generals von Moltke, Won AlvensleBen
and Won Treskow were also present. Of
course nothing that passes at these secret
meetings ever ekes out, but . general impression
is floating about to-day that in the event Of
Will attack silesis. This step would almPAt
drive the Prussians to advance Dresdyn,
and thus Austria would cast upon the Cabinet of
Berlin the odium Of being the first to invafa!e
the Pruasian van crosses the frontier into saxoh,
the news Of it's advance will be telegraphed to dkn:
Benedek's troops, on the Bohemian ff0ntieb0f
Baxony, and that they will at once move ufnn
Dresden. Should there be any foundation Eor.
this impression, the race TO Dresden will be o4se
20 over, and as means will, in all probability, ,be
taken by Ssxony to allow some part at lesst Of
the Austrian army to travel by railway, thee
trian advanced guard has good chance OF fiat
gaining possession Of the Saxon capital. Ills
quite natural to suppose that Gen. Benedek Will
attemptto carry the war into saxony and South
ern Brandenburg, both because the line be-
tween the Bohemian frontier and Berlin, bis
probable objective point, is shorter BY that

NAPoLE0N's LETTER. sz.;l55-.i a. vi
From NApo1EoN's recent letter to the French
Legislature, on the present state Of ahaIsSWl W
Europe, we make tho following extracts: s1stx
Tn ss.a ,uar .Wr1uu Huuuu- seHK out we have
I but two interests-the maintenance OF the Euro.
pean equilibrium and the maintenance Of that
which we have contributed to constitute in
| ITALY.
But to save these two interests does not the
moral force of France suffice? In order that her
voice shall be listened to will she be obliged tt
draw the sword? do not think so.
#, in spite Of our efforts, the hopes of peace are
not realized, we are nevertheless re:aasured by
the declarations of the Courts engaged In the con-
ict, that whatever be the results OF the war. none
of the questions which touch us shall be resolved
without the assent Of France.
| Let u.s. then, continue in ylgilant neutra1ty
and. strong in our disnteres estedness, animated by
sincere desire to see the nations It Europe for
get their quarrels and unite in the cause OF oiyi.
lization, liberty and progress, let us still remain
confident in our right and calm In our force.

HOW THE LETTER 1s RECEIVED IN FRANCE.
[From the Constitutionnsl tssne;.c6lciaD June 49,.
The letter which the Emperor has addressed to
the Minister Of Foreign Affairs is an eloquent
| summary Of the policy followed by the French
Government since the day Oh which the diffcul.
ties now about to be abandoned to the hazards Of
war irst disturbed and agitated Europe. This
noble language, inspired by profound eoisdo1,a and
the most sincere lOue Of peace, will be hoard
/ throughout the whole world-will even predoml-
nate over the noise of war.
PRINCE FREDERICK CHARLES, OF PRUSSIA.
| II the PrusBian armies are put forward under
the command Of Prince Frederick Charles, they
will have no very remarkable leader, since the
Prince is mainly distinguished as The son-iu-1aw
of Queen Victoria and is seid to be afflicted With
the chronic stupidity which affects Prusdan
princes. He will necessarily be surrounded ty a
yery able staff and men of military genius gill
command his corps. But when he comes to cspe
with Marshal Benedek he will have tried soldier
to compete WITH and Prussia will need all her re-.
sources and her best generals to be successful.
