embassy for effectually dealing with these offences. This consisted in a fall power to be given by the Queen's representative to the Staatsanwalt, or imperial proctor, to prose cute in his name in all cases of this nature. On receiving an 'assurance that the prose cutions would be certain to be effective, I reported the matter hong, and urged that I should be authorized to follow the course recommended, which, after some hesitation and difficulty-the Queen's pleasure having to be taken on the subject—I obtained leave to do." The effect of the Emperor's action cemented our friendship, and it is, therefore, especially pleasing to find that special orders were issued at home for the battleship Kar!

Salutes were fired from the ship at sunset yesterday, at eight this morning, at noon, when the British vessels joined in the fet de joie, while at sunset this evening another salute will ring out across the harbour in token of the loyal affection in which the Emperor and King's subject held their Sovereign and the cordiality with which Great Britain acknowledges the birthday of the head of a friendly nation inhabiting the largest Empire, next to Russia, on the continent of Europe.
