The news of the arrival of Prince Frederick Varl of Prussia and other Prussian knigats of the Russiaa Order of St. George, Who have veen mvited to partici * pate mm the ceiepration of the festival of the vruer on the ita of Decemver, creates in Germany rather an Unsatisfactory feeling. The Prince arrived at St, Petersburg vy special train. ‘Though the imperial Welcome given him and his suite by the Ozar was all that could be desired, the monarch going to meet his guests as faras Zarsko-Sselo, the first railroad Station ou tne St. Petersburg and Warsaw road, the public reception was tame, ‘The rallroaa depot was decorated and Liuminated, but all eathus.asm on the Part of the people failed. Prussian fags and the Prussian natioual hyma were, of course, not Wwantng. Along the streets which the party had to anve through @ good number of persons had as sembled—inostly Germans, who seemed afraid of giving vent to much enthusiasm.
