Louis XVIII and the King of Prussia.—The Kings of Prussia and France are said to have lately had an interview, during which Louis XVIII severely complained of the conduct of the Prussians towards his subjects. The Prussian Monarch reminded his Royal opponent of the oppressions of the French in Berlin, and other parts of his dominions, during the long period of their success. The conversation grew warm, and at last Louis XVIII positively declared, "that if things continued in this state, all that would remain for him to do, would be to constitute himself a prisoner in the hands of the Allied Powers." To this the King of Prussia is stated to have replied, that "it might perhaps become necessary to take such a step." On which the two Monarchs rose, and broke up the interview.
