1/rassia.—Prussia is occupied with preparations for the King's coronatiou, and

for the elections. The Earl of Clarendon is to re- present England at Konigsberg, and immense efforts are made to render the ceremonial worthy of the monarchy. All orders of men are to be represented, the army particularly on a great scale, all generals and commandants of regiments being invited to attend. The Conservatives, it is said, intend to make great efforts to turn the elections, but the national subscription for the German fleet—a test of liberalism—seems to make great way. The people subscribe a halfpenny for every glass of beer they drink. It will be remembered that the German fleet of 1848 was to have been under the Diet. That of 1862 will be strictly Prussian.
