PRUSSIA.

By te'egi-am from Berlin of Ala 72t we leirn that th* Minixfc'y has iniormpd the President thab li« King <(■ clinch to rem-ivo thi deputation from 'he U.'iuinl'er of Deputies wi'h tho aridre&s tn the thione. Tl.e address w.ll th«rjtrrc he forwarded by letter. It ih bclicvid ihat th,s r-fu-^l wili he loliowed by a dissolution of the Chamber.

The Paris Temps has the f llowing respecting the health of the Kiug of Prussia :—

" We receive ne\v> i'.om Beiliu which may change the Himtion of Piu-sia aud rescue tho country at a •s'v ke fiom the sta"e of isobt on aad depredation in which it Ins been placed by the home an i foieis" poliov of M. de Hisrnaik. letter fro<n Berlin tells us th.it everyone is astonishel at seeing that the l'nubii'n Moniteur, whicli has for so long been mute, has suddenly commenced giving np\vs of the kind's health. Evidently tho health of his m.'jssty is mu^h compromised. We h> ar no n_ore of military pai.ii'es or of tao^e reports on the army whicli interest the king to sj singular an extent, but merely of audiences to M. de Btemark and the I>rince3 of the royal house. Kvervtbing indicates th.-t his M jesty's physical htixts suffers much trora the troubles iv Prussia during the la c t six aionths. We are assured that the Kinu himself asks, more se-riou-!y than ever, if the moment has not come for him to lay down his crown. This extreme sacrifice would be a solution which would at thi' same time save the dignity cf the crown and the honor of the country. In the 1 vent of abdication, the royal prince would take th 3 reins of government, and the royal prince, S3 far as we ca-i learn, is, by his tendencies and his family tie 3, essentially liberal.
