The following letter has been received by Herr
Won Arnim Criewen, from his cousin Count Harry

OF the German Empire and appears in the I1reals
siche Kreutz Zeitung:-

The Augemeiae zettuao, Of Augsperg, in an arti-
Gle devoted to the liberation OF Count Arntm on
bail, says that the opinion it had formed some
days previously ss to his political capacity and
general character had been confirmed by recent
public manifestations. "From all Sides" says the
Zettssa0, "the telegraph has announced revela.

friend Of Count Arnim has written to
the NEW YORK HERALD. stating that the
superiority the Count showed in dealing
with the Churcn question had so annoyed Prince
Bismarck that his passion had LED him into an act
fairly, count Arnim's friend has not done MIN o
good turn, for, with the exception OF biassed
enemies. no one In Europe will believe the Chan
ceior capable OF abusing his power to satisfy per-
sonal vengeance. Besides the So.caled superiority
OF the ex.Ambassador at Rome over Bismarck is
simply q cnimera, which exists only in the minds
OF the Counts friends. Those who attempt TO
force this conviction concerning his high political
oo
and generosity rot TO smile WITH pity at oil sucn
