The •, esti° troubles of Prince Fred-
erick Ch rles of 'Prussia- and his indignant
and jealous wife are stated by the Vienna

conversation in Berlin for . years past.
Two years agoathe disturbance between the
Prince and his spouse assumed _ BII011 an

„was himself forced to take a hand 114 it,
and, under the Plea of sending the Prince
away on a long lourney through Qriental
-00uhtries,ite .virtuallY banish him for a -
time from .the Prussian Capital. The
Prince was not even permitted to return
