BERLIN, July 49, 1862
The Kings order, dated the 3Oth utimo, granting
permission to Count Bismarck to retire for an inde
mite period from his Official position and expressing
the hope OF his speedy restoration 10 health has
doubtless reached you by wire. Opinion varies very
much respecting this step, some portion OF the press
insisting that 1t is equivalent to retirement alto
gether; other journals and among them the Official
ones, maintaining that is only temporary and that
the Counts return may be looked for in the fall of
the year. In the meantime President Delbruck will
attend 10 the Official duties OF the Bund Chancellor
and General Won Roon in conjunction with Baron
Won Der Heyd Will stand at the head OF the Prussan
government The Southern press rejoices at the
idea Of the Counts eventually Withdrawing entirely
from his Prussian Premiership, which, as they hope,

unpopularity 1t is also generally observed that the
ue'eiopment Oh the North German Confederation
requires 'e undivided attention and activity of the
Bund Chancellor and that for this reason the Count

Inc curious coincidence OF the report of your cor
respondents interview with the Count becoming
known here just at the same time OF that personaQes

LET 80 ne an opportunity slip Of falling foul of tho
Count and derisvey saying that IL was all very well
for disappointed Minister to pour ok his prlefs to
newspaper correspondent 80 openly and unre.
servedly, where he dared not pr efer his comulaus
before the Legislature.
The Berlin ZunurN, Of democratic tendency,
writes as follows:-
The news Of the great Counts retirement had
barely transplred when the national liberals trum-
peted loudly the advent OF new ana great era rho
colleagues they said; leaves the Minister OF Finance

and Public instruction 10 encounter with ali their
unpopuarity the rough handling that surely awaits
them IN the next meeting Of the Diet IL is the iiona

In his absence. But suddenly and very malapropos
arrives an American Journal containing Bismarek.

his highb0rn colleagues. Is strongly vented AGAINST
