LONDON, Nov. 3.-The many stories
concerning his majesty the king of
Wurtemberg and his American en-
tourage. though ridiculous in their de-
tails, are scarcely entertaining reading,
for they give no favorable impression
of the German character, and it can
hardly be said that his Atlantic
fayorities shed any particular luster
upon their native country. Jackson,
against whom the envy and jealousy of
the Wurtembergers are principally di-
rected, went to that country some years
ago in vice-consular capacity and at
tracted the kings notice as bright,
entertaining and energetic young man.
He was induced by the not over-wise
monarch to transfer his services to his
court, was rapidly preferred, and as a
matter of course gained the mortal en-
NIFTY of every Teuton having access to
it. 1t goes without saying that there
are never offices enough to satisfy the
aspirantS thereto in any government,
above all in q small state such as
Wurtemberg, and the horror and dismay
of the aspirants to official preferment
may be imagined at witnessing the
FAVORITISM OF A FOREIGNER,
his rapid promotion and enrichment,
and the changes in etiquette and rout-
inc made through his influence. Con-
sentative musicians were satisfied of the
impending ruin of their beloved land
when some American airs were intro
Cuced inio the repertoire of the royal
band, though the public displayed no
aversion to them, and foreign games OF
cards and other novel amusements were
considered las the Inauguration of a
moral earthquake. jackson introduced
two of his compatriots, who also proved
agreeable to his ma eSty, and from that
day to this the American cabal has been
firmly established at the capital in spite
of all the courtierS' efforts to overthrow
it. The furious diatribes against it
would receive more general belief were
they less contradictory. According to
one statement the trio are SpiritualiStS,
whose rapping and materiaiZations
brighten the royal Wurtemberger into
oheying their slightest behests. An
other poSSesS0r of the most accurate in
formation impartS to his Mortified fell
low countrymen the secret that the de-
tested Americans are Jesuits, who have
converted his majesty to the Catholic
faith and are intent only on handing
over the kingdom and its revenues to
the pope. while still others are con-
viuced that they are merely sharpers,
whose ultimate fate Will be the usual

tbs hardly possible in any case that
they have lined their purses well. while
having good time in the ordinary ac-
ceptation of that phrase. The common
people have animosity against the
Americans, and the socialistic element
rather enjoys than otherwise the dis
comfiture of the nobility and bureau
Gratis. A violent article in the Munich
Nachrichtere caused the seizure of that
paper in Stuttgart, where it was eagerly
perused, and seemed to have been an
ticipated by certain class who hast
ened to receive and circulate copies on
its first arrival. In the meantime the
king has enjoyed himself at Nice with
his chosen friends, who do not appear
to be much troubled at the fulminations
of their enemies.
