tiers severe but just rebuke to the Machiavel-

on those who do evil is servile adulation, and

which narrate it for one single expression of
condemnation at the expenditure Of millions
OF lives and millions of money sacrificed to COM

the other hand, will not confess, with me, that
the services rendered by England to the cause

The PRUssIAN GENERAL Won PFUEL, lately
deceased, at very advanced age, was one of
the few remaining officers who fought under
Butcher at Mont st. Jean and Waterloo, and
played a conspicuous part in the military and
diplomatic history of Prussia during the war
with the First French Empire. More than ten
years ago he made present of his correspond
ence, diaries and memoirs to his friend, Herr
Varnhagen Won Ense, but with the express
condition that he should not publish them till
after his (the Generally death. But it so hap
pened that Varnhagen died first, and his own
memoirs have been published by his niece, a
Miss Ludmilla Assing, an authoress we'll
known in Germany, but of a questionable rep
utation on the score of discretion, as she has
been more than once in conflict with the au-
thorities OF many German States, but chiefly
for puolshIng what purported to be the private
correspondence between King Frederick Viii
liam the Third 1.-THE father of his present Maies-
ty) and her late uncle, Varnhagen Won EHse.
winch created such a scandal that the sale of
the work was-and still is-prohibited in
Prussia, and she herself was obliged to remove
as quickly as possible, to escape the conse.
quences, and found an asylum in free Switzer-
land. The duty of editing the memoirs and
correspondence of the late General Won pfna1
will now devolve on this lady, and, if She does
not exercise greater amount of discretion
than on former similar occasions, the public
may expect many piquant revelations of events
that occurred half century ago. and NAV

All the newspapers have said that an Amer
lcan composer, well known at Boston-Mr.
Greecler,- was occupied in setting the Consti-
tuition OF the United States to music This
adaptation has just been given in public The
performance lasted eight hours. Our cores
pendent gives us the following curious partic-
uiars IN regard to this strange music: The
preamble to the Constitution is grand and
majestic recltatIye well sustained by alto and
contra-Dasso voices. The LIST article is written
Tor tenor voice. Other articles are written.
some LOT Dasso, some for soprano, some for bari
zone. AT the end of each article the recitatiye
OF tne preamble is taken up again in chorus
M Greecler has betrayed his opinions and
mas outdone himself in the article relating to
state rights. This is written in minor kew
Tor base and tenor, and there is struggle of
voices and instruments which might make the
author OF Tannhauser jealous. The tenor who
appears to sustain the doctrine of State rights,
Is eventually overcome by the bass, whilst the
small flutes which support the tenor wage
herce war with the trombones and bass ,ons,
the auxlliaries OF the bass. The violins lost
and heightened, do the accompaniment in
tremulo and pizzicati. Finally the tenor and
the hutes yield to the heavier instruments. and
the return OF peace is celebrated by the violins
in slow arpeggio The constitutional amend-
menus are treated as fugues, and serve as in
PRODUCTION te formidable finale, in which the
base drum and the tom-tom play important
roles. ~
