The Arnim scandal has presented no new feature this week.
The Count remains in custody, but on the report of two physi- cians has been removed from prison to a maison de sante, where he,can have more exercise. The Berlin Tribunal affirms, through its President, that it is not under the influence of the Foreign Office, and semi-official correspondents allege that the only cause of quarrel between Prince Bismarck and Count Arnim was the adhesion of the latter to the Legitimist party in France, which the Prince considers dangerous. It is rumoured that among the letters retained is one with notes by Prince Bismarck most disrespectful to the Emperor ; that one contains a sharp rebuke to Count Arnim for writing private letters to his master, and that one reveals future objects of policy ; but there is no proof what- ever of the truth of any one of these stories. All that seems clear is, that Prince Bismarck is very much out of temper, and that the political air in Berlin is much disturbed in consequence.
