LONDON, 9th Nov., 1877. The hitch in the despatch of the Embassy to Berlin still continues. Your readers will remember that some time ago, when it was first given out that there would be some delay, the reason assigned was that the Emperor of Germany had not yet returned to Berlin. This reason has long ago ceased to exist; and it is therefors evident that the delay arises from some other cause, it comes in some form or another from and I have good reason for believing that China, whence I understand soms Import- ant documents have still to arriva.
