His official correspond? ence with Prince Bismarck has not been of a very cordial character dnring some few months. Conut Hohenlohe was appoiuted his successor, and Yon Arnim returned to his home. After a short period, Count Hohenlohe re? ported that certain ofliciul documents were missing from the archives of the embassy in Paris. Yon Arnim was in? terrogated officially concerning tbe loss. In bis reply, he alleged thut the papers which were the property of the Government were all iu place, but that he had removed some private letters, which he iuteuded to use for the purpose of justifying himself to Emperor Willtnm against Bismarck, who had, ho suid, "dug the grave of a loug-cudtiring friendship" by his re? cent notion toward him. The Count passed the remuiuder of the summer at Curlstadt and iu traveling in Hun? gary. Ho went to Hungary ;u cause- , quonce of his daughter having beeu . engaged to marry Count Francis Ztchy, tho Austrian Ambassador ut ] Constantinople', who was theu residing ) near Pesth. The Count returned to j Germany on the 1st day of October. On Monday, the 5th of October, he ! was arrested at his residence by order | of Priuce Bismarck. His dwelling j was seurched, us was also the reai ?! deuce of his aou, an officer iu the | Prussian Dragoou Guards. The Ar- ' uim family felt deeply inputted. The j people were excited. It was reported i on authority that the documents do- 1 taiued by Count Von Arnim were State property, aud that the courts de? cided that there wer? HUfficieUt | grounds for instituting proceedingsI against him. Negotiations for their reslo. n had been carried on for several u.; aths through Von Arm in'a brother-in-law, and it was alleged that after repeated warnings, a few of the papers were returned, bat the chief portion were not given up, but were, it was ssid, sent out of the country. The documents contain Priuce Bis? marck's unqualified approval of Couut Von Arnim'* conduct while Ambas? sador at Paris up to tli? time the semi? official journuls of Germany began to attack him as a leader of the re-action ary aud ultramontane movement. A petition o* Count Von Arnica** family for his release wus refused by Emperor William. The arrest of Count Vou Arnim wus t fleeted by a Commissary of the Cri? minal Cuurt aud six other officers re? presenting the Foreigu Office and the Berlin Liw Court. Couut Von Arnim refused to surrender the papers in bis possessiou, or to make any statement in regard to them He wad extremely excited und deeply incensed uguinst Prince Bismarck. The documents were arranged iu three categories. The first, referring tu You Aruim's ap poiutmen: as Ambassador aud his sala? ry, were not included iu the search. Tbe second comprised those which Von Arnim acknowledged were iu bis possession, aud which be claimed to have retaiuud to serve as a justification of his conduct; and the third aud largest category comprised those of a confidential nature, the whereabouts of which You Arnim denied all know? ledge, aud which, it is thought, have not been recovered. Immediately after bis arrest, Von Aruim was lodged iu a room iu the Police Inspector's house. He was allowed the privilege of walking exercise in charge of uu of? ficer, but was not permitted to go out on horseback. On the 11th of October, the friends of Von Arnim having pe? titioned for his release on account of j ill health, physicians were appointed by the German Government to ex? amine the prisoner's coudltiou. They made u report recommending i change iu the place of confinement, us air and exercise were necessary. The Count ! was then removed to u sanitary esta? blishment in the suburbs of Berlin/ The Count occupied two rooms iu the hospital where he wis confined. lie was treated with more gcucrul seventy And was mnre closely watched, His1 .intercourse with bid family was .still! further restricted. Herr Madul, Pre- j indent of the poli?u force in Berlin, 1 used all his influence to have Count! Yon Aruim sent to a private hospital, where he should be under the aurveil j lance of the police, bur without suc? cess. The Count's family offered in? creased buil, to the aniouui of ?SiJTu, CCD, to secure his release from custo? dy, but it was refused. The Count's residence iu Berlin was again searched ou Friday, the ld:h of October. On Monday, tho lUth of October, Count Vou Arnim's hou wrote a letter to the New York Herald, to deny that his father participated in the publication of the work entitled the "Revelation from Above." Ou the 25th of November the German Go? vernment relieved Von Aruim from the Hurveillauce of the police. The trial of Count You Aruim com monoed in Berlin on the iUh of the present mouth. The court room was densely crowded. Fifty reporters, of various nationalities, wore present. The Court of Triul eou-dsted of Judges BeicL, Giersch und Ovsovski. Judgelteich presided. Judge II i Ii announced that the Court had decided that the pioccodiugs should be public, except the readiug of documents rela? tive to the ecclesiastical policy of the Government, which includes papers of tbe first class mentioned iu tho indict? ment. Herr Mnnkel, of counsel for tho defence, notified tho Court that he had entered a protest, denying the competency of this tribunal to try tho caao. The pro*ecntiou read the indict? ment. It accused the Count of (lure* iictiou in his official duty, described bis age, occupation, Atu., Until his re? call from Paris, and said thut wheu Prince HohnnlohQ Rticoeedod to the embassy ?t Pari? he found, after a ?triotr; search, Iba? a number of docu? ments were missing' from its archives. The evidence went to sustain this obarge according to tho role ot tbe Court. A curious feature iu the case ! was the production in Conrt of copies of special telegrams to the New York Herald. Con? ting from tbe period of Count You Arnim'? first imprison? ment, as given above, he will, accord? ing to tbe sentence, havo to servo nix teen days in prison, to the 5th of Janu? ary, 1S75. Mi:.
