The steamship Cuba arrived at New
York on the 5th from Liverpool, with
dates to 25th ult. The Herald's COR
respondence from Berlin, with the
English and Austrian journals, repre-
sents the aspect of the German diff
Guilty as very serious. Military pre-
parations on a great scale are spoken
of. It is said that Austria can place
400, 600 men in the field, independent
OF 100, OO0'to be quartered in Italy.
Italy was expected to join Prussia
actively in case Of conflict. A Joint
note, for mediation by England, Rus
sia and France, was spoken of, but its
existence was generally doubted. The
King of Prussia alluded to the crisis
in a a'speech, delivered on the anniver-
sary Of his birthday, in which he said
that the 'shopes of q peaceful solution
must not be abandoned
Napoleon received a deputation
from the Legislative body of France,
which presented the address of the
Corps. The Emperor delivered
very able but rather singular speech
in reply, in which he plainly demon
strated the growing power of the op-
position by characterizing the argu-
ments of its members as vain
theories presented in a seductive
garb." To France he pleads his long
and laborious services, and plants
himself firmly on his "useful mis-
sion."
Head Centre Stephens arrived in
Paris on the 18th Of March, and re-
NAMED the guest of John Mitchell.
He was to embark for New York. He
had many hazards at sea. An English
writer says Stephens was so little
afraid of the Irish police that he did
not even shave off his beard. Mr..
Whiteside, M P, ex-Attorney- Gene
raj of Ireland, asserted in Parliament
that Stephens was engaged in the
Fenian conspiracy since 1858; was
frequently in America, and was q
daring aud able revolutionist.
American citizens in Jail on charges
of Fenianism in Ireland, will be re-
leased if they promise to returrAto

Flood, of the Royal Artillery, was
branded, drummed out of the regi-
ment, and sent to Jail for two years.
The Madrid Epoca has an article on
Fenianism, in which the Spaniard
prophecies the failure of the move
ment, and says England will redress
all the grievances of Ireland.

PEN Portrait of the President.
The correspondent of the New
York Metropolitan Record says:
Imagine man about five feet
eight inches high, broad
deep-chested, with large, combative
head, resting on short, muscular,
firmly set neck. His hair is of me-
dunn length, coarse and straight,
originally coal black, but now liberal
ly mixed with gray. His forehead is
not broad nor high, but it is full and
hard-a fair index to the active brain
that works within. He is not hand
some man. There is q certain degree
"a SOuI oCASSo ubotl HIS features.
The cheek bones are prominent; the
jaws are heavy; the lips are neither
thick nor thin, but they set together
rs firmly as the jaws of vice; the
nose is aquiline and thick-not the
long, thin nose that denotes cunning,
but curved, stout nose, that is in
keeping with the firm, obstinate fea-
lures; the eyes are hazel grey, deep
set, active and penetrating. They
see everything, nothing escapes them,
and when they look once they see all.
Heavy lines running at angles from
the nostrils, and shorter, but equally
we'll marked lines from the corners
OF the mouth, tell of the resolute
will that sits behind the forehead.
Imagine these features in face des-
titute of beard, with tough, dark
skin, and ruggedness that denotes
intense physical yigor. The head is
held square up. Eyes, nose and
mouth are pushing forward-seem-
lngly never in repose, but ever work
ing and watchful-and the whole
head shows a man who is ALWAYS
, ready to dispute and fight until he
conGuers:
