while the former only represents Prussia. still
this year the Iaod,ag in its session has passed a
great number Of laws the effects Of which must
not be moderated.
Ia the 6iss place The Introduction Of the obi.
ga,ory civil marriage bill was resolved upen afler
long aud heated Debates For more than twenty
years PrusSan liberalism has demanded that
civil character should be put upon the marriage
ceremony, and that the custody OF the civil state
registers should be taken from the clergy. In
vain 1t was pointed out how very powerful the
Clergy we're getting, the prO,estanis as well as
the catholics. only the new formations IN Ger.
many and the newly reviving national feeling
caused the Roman catholics as well as the pro
tes,ans elergymen 10 expose their intentions and
enabled the State to pu. down all enemies op-
posed to its interests.
The Iandtag has been restlessly active in the

ceruing agriculture and national economy have
been flushed and settled. which. without doubt

| The church laws respecting the administration
OF vacant bishoprics have come into execution
for the 6rst time in Posen. The cathedral chap
ter were summoned BY the president Of the pro
vince TO appoint vicar general. but refused in 4
letter to The president, saving that they did no,
consider the archi-episcopal seat vacant BY the
bishops being imprisoned. The answer did not
arrive I'LL aIIer the term given them to consider
had elapsed and therefore The Minister Of EccIe-
sias,eal Afairs gave orders to seize the treasury
Of the archi-episcopal palace. This was done.
and an administrator appointed by the govern
ment Money aud stocks were found amounting
to upwards Of 10000 ,halers.

Ultnmonlaine journals deny the truth Of the ~

The Emperor WilIiam has seemingly quite re-
covered his health and good spirits. Duriug bis
stay il Berlin be vas present at the different
parades, always on horseback indeed. his vigor
aud strength seemed to have increased since bis /
illness. The monarch received many proofs Of
attachment from his subjects wherever he went.
he has again spent some days N the society OF
the Emperor of Russia at Ems, and proposes to
visit the latter snd the Empress, who are now
staying at the beautiful Castle Of Jueenheim
The Duke OF Edinburg and his young wife will /
likewise repair thither.
His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince was
exposed together with his sons to an imminent
danger lately. We give the iollOwing authentic
account Of the affair: As His Higbness the .
CrOEu Prince vas taking drive to the so-ealled +
Pirsch Heiie, from the railway station, named
Wild Park. and wished to cross the lines al the
first crossing from that station the first carriage
which contained the tutors Of His Higbuess' sons
having got safely across, the barriers were let
down by the warden BY means OF wire leading
to bis house stationed at some distance from the
crossing. The second carriage in which were the
CroEn Prince and his three sons passed under
the first barrier when it was being dropped, bot
OF course vas prevented from getting of the
lines as the barrier on the other side had already
fallea- A train which had Just come in sight
some moments before passed at this time on ;be
Of Iae, His Higbaess and sons having, however,
quickly slightsi from the carriage before that.
There vas then really q double danger Tor the
Crown Prince and bis sous irst Of all the mar.
roE escape Of the barrier falling on them. and
secondly the danger Of being overrun By the
train, which iuekily passed 90 the OF line How
ever, they have Provideuily escaped from both.
No blame Is 10 Be aid on the warden, as His
Royal Highness himself says
Prince HohenLobe, the new German Anbassa-
dor at Paris, presented on bis arrival there bis
credentials to Marshal MaeMahon. Who received
bun very heartily al the Elysee. The Prince
then addressed the President as follows;
