An : rporlant Letter from Oonnt Itla. mark The Key to ills Policy lu Ger many. The following letter, written by Count 15is mark to a friend during tbe Italian war, while he was Prussian Minister to Kussin, and shortly alter ho hud ceased to be the Prussian ropre Benlative at the Federal liet in Frankfort, was lor the first time published in the Reform at Hamburg, on the 12th instant. From that Daper we translate it lor the Eveniho Teleohafu: St. 1'ETEBPBcnoH, May 12.18"9. Frjia tho eight reais ot my illio ai activity a' Frankfort I have be come convinced, as the ic-u.t ol uijr experience, that lor Prussia tue present iuntuutious ot tue Confedera tion BjC, in peace an oppressive, aud in critical periods a daiiKi-roua voke, without aUordiuir us those equivalents which Austna reoiivea iroiu ihnm while retuiuinir a much mror eharo ot nor own ireedom Uo b these jrreut powers are not troatod witn the same measure by tho Princes and Govern ments ot the turn ler Stu'os; ttie construction of the objects and lawaot tbe i omuderation are modidod ac cording to tne necessities ol Austrian polio. Witli your ierlect knoivleiiiiu of th subject 1 need not enter iiio details or the nistorvof Federal politics since 1860, and I conflno myself to relor merely to the re-establishment ot the Diet, the cusioius diffi culties, the commercial i.ress, and constitutional legislation, the Federal foments, Kastad. and May ence, tbe Keulchatcl aud Oriental questions. Always have we been oppo'xd Ly the same compact inajOi t y, bv the amo demand lor concessious oy Prustia. In tho Oiientul question the iLlluoncn of Auftr,a war. so much tuponor tj our own, that not ptcd the harmony of the wishes aud desires of tne Froeial Governments vitli the polio ot Prussia could do more than oppose it by a yle'ding dam. Almost without exception our coniudoratos bave intimated to us, aud oven said, ihat it was Impossible lor them to keep up the confedora tion with us, should Austria so hor own way; althcupn it was not doubted that thorirht as well as the true interests of Geimany were jn the side of onr peaceful policy ; the at 'east were the views of nearly all tbe oontedcia e Princes. Would they ever, in a similar manner, sacrifice thelr vn wishes vnd desires to the necessities or eeu the Beounty of iTu-smr certnlnlv not. lor tbeir adhesion to Austria rests upon false interests, which to both ctmmacd thiir union against Prussia, and tnelr restriction ot tLe development ot ihe power and in fluence of l iutsia as u permanout basis of their joint policy. To develop the confederation with Austria at Its head i the natural object of tho policy oi the Ger man Princes and their Mint-ten; tuis, in their view, can be achieved omy at the cost oi Prussia, and is necessarily a mod against Prussia, so lonir a Prus sia will not confine hersolt to tlm useful task of se curing her confederates airainst too great an exten sion of Austria's influence, and 'o bear, with never tiring pleasantness and submission to the majority, the disproportion ot her duties to her rights in the contcderation. this teridcucy ot ttio policy of tna middle States will recur with the activity oi tne magnetic needle after every temporary disturbance, becuuse it Is not the wilful product of single circum stances or persons, but tbe natural and necessary result of the Foderal relations of tbe smaller States. We bave no means within tbe given Federal com pacts to arrange ourselves with it pormauently anl satist aotorily Since the Confederates, nine years ago, nndor the lead of Austria, began, irom tbo hitherto unregarded arrcnal ol ihe Federal o.ganio laws, to produce principles which could aid their system, aud since regulaiions whose proper construction in the sense ot their founders was only avai'able by the united action of Prussia and Austna, were attempted to be tsed one-eidedlv for guardiansaip oror Prussian policy, we have had constantly to tool the weight or the situation in wbtch we bave been piacod by the Con lectern t ion, and Its ultimate bistono develop. niti,t. We had to confess, however, that lo quiet and normal times we could do much by proper con duct to weaken tue evil in its cousequeuoes. but nothing to cure it; but in damreroi times as the present, it is too natural that th other side, in pos session ot all the advantages of tbe Confederation, should willingly admit tuat things improper have occurred, but declare, in the interest of all, tho time inexpedient to bring past eveuts and homo difficul ties into discussion. For us an opportunity, if the present i let pass unused, will perhaps not so soon occur, and we will bereatter be again cuuflued to the (ioclara ioiis that in normal times no ohanros can be made. His lioyul Ulghnos the Prince Rgent (the pre sent King ot Prussia) has taken a position which meets with the undivided approva1 ol all those who bave anv. iudguient at ail upon Prussian polioy, and bave not allowed it to be dimnie i by partisanship. A portion of our confederates teok by thoughtless and fanatical efforts to disturb us in this position. If the statesmen at Uauiberg are so quickly ready to to. low the first cry lor war ol au uutbinkmg and variable puhlio opinion, they do it probably with the consoling re.-ierva.ion of how easy it is tor a small Mate to chance colon In case of need. Hut it they would make vie ot tbe Federal organi zation to send a powor like Prussia into the tire; it it be asked of us to risk blood and troaiuro tjr the political wisdom and tho thirst for ao'iou of Govern ments wbore very existence depends on our protec tion ; if thore States wish to lead ns ou, aud H a a means they propose to start a theory of confederate liability, with the recognition of which all autouoiny of Prussian policy wou d cease, then it is time, in my opinion, to remember tlifr t" leaders who ask as to foilow them n-rve other than Prussian interests and that they understand the cause ot Gennauy which they proclaim, in a mai.uer mat it cannot at the same time te the cause ol Prussia, unless we surren der ourte ves I may, perhaps, go too far if I exptest the opinion that we ought to use evert legitimate oppo tuuity offered us by our eonfedeiates, to obtain such re vision of our mutual relations as Prussia n eds, that she may permanently live in regular intercourse with the nial ei Uerman Mates. We mould take up the glove at once, and not view It as a miBlortune, but as the progress to tho crisis of improvement, it nmjority at Frank foi t adopts a resolve which we cousider unauthorized, a wiliul change of the object ot conledeiation, and a breacu oi tbe compacts. Ibe more marked this breach would be the better. In Austria France, Kuisia we may not again iuietwith conditions so la vol able to alloy us au amelioration of onr condition in Uermany; and our oonleaerates are ou the best way to give ns just cau e for it, without oar helping tnem ou. Kven tbe JCreuz Zeiting (a Government paper at Berlin) is amazed that a majority at Frauklort could dispore ot the Prusnan army. Not only as to this journal have I sorrowfully observed what power Austria wields in the t.erman press b K skilfully woveu net, and how It knows to use this weapon. Without it, so-called publio Otdniou wou d never have advanced so high. I say o-caUed, for the masses !' population aie never tor war, unlets irri tated by the ao'liai suffering of heavy burdens It baa come to this, that, under tbe oloak of general German feeling, a Prussian paper hardly dares to profess Prussian patriotism. bentimeultU whining had much to do wit b this, as much as tbe novv. which Austria never want for tbis parpose correspondents write for a living i most paper baiir financial suocest for their main objeot, and in sons ot our own and other papers the experienced reader may easily discover whether they have arain re ceived pay tom Austna. wbei bur they expect it loon, or bv threatening bints wish to obtain tt. I Lelievethat we could produoe a visible chtng In tbe publio mind, if, against the encroachmeuts of our liorman confederates, we totioa the chord ot an independent I ruwlan polioy in the press. Perbana things happen at Frankfort which will give the in 'lest cause for lu In these eventualities the wisdom of onr military precautions may prove itself in other directions and sive loroe to our point on. Then Prussian s .di re Han ce may sonnd is loud and effective a the Coa fdderation 1 would on y ihon write the wont "Geiman" for "frussiau" on our banner, whon e ball have united closer an more effectually with our other eounirmen ti an hitherto.

Extensive Robbery in Chicago $18,000 in Bonds Stolen The Thict Stilt . at Lai tie. From the Chicago Republican, May 23. tSinco the great roboorv ot $1 1,000 from the Ameri can Fxpress Company, wh.ch occur re, i in this city last lali, we have not been cal ed upon to chronicle a ti elt involving money to the amount ot a quarter oi that sum. Yesteiaay, however, a robbery was broucht to light ot a very extenmve character, being no less than the abstraction ol United Mates and Cook county bonds worth eighteen thousand live hundred dollars. he owner of the property thus stolen Is Jonathan Bun, fcq . residing at No 287 Michigan avenue, near the corner ot K dridgo court. Tho supposed tl'iet is William Krown, who was In theemp.oy of Mr. Hurr at a gardener, and who disappeared about one week ago, very suddenly, and has not since been seen iff heard tr m. Mr. burr kept the bonds in nnost'on In a trunk at Ms n sidoiieo. The gardonor kuew that they were arposited thoro, and in fact was the only person be sides Mr Burr who bad access to the p ace wbore they were kept. Supposing tee man to be perfectly honest, Mr Ilurr did not apprehend any danger of the loss of bis property, and eve i when tho gardener so mys'eriously disappeared, did not oxanuue til trunk, to see if they were sti 1 uudisturood. The last time he saw them was about one week ago, and shortly altei he came down town to his plaoe of tusiufis. Upon returning to his homo he ascer tained that Brown bad gone, no one kn w whither.

The Huntingdon GU le sajs: "Many ears aa;o, as is known by some of our oldest citizens, a robber by the name of Lewis infested tbe mountains in this vicinity, whose object in thievinp, as is alleged, was to take from tbe rich tmd give to the poor. Be this as it may, many victims carrying with, them large amounts of money were wavlaid by bis band, Lewis thereby amassing a lanje sum of tbe golden treasure. Finally Lewis and a few of his comrades wero captured, and taken to tbe jail at Bellefoute, his band of thieves was disorganized, and Lewis expired m jail Irom the effects of a waund. " lloioro his oeath he stated tbat he had buried a largo sum of money somewhere near Jack's moun tain, in this county. One day lust week, we are told, a man was seen roiiis in tho airection ot Mount Union, near Mill Creek, havincf what appeared to bo a heavy bundle under bis arm, covered with u newspauer. It is suppo.-ed the bundle contained the money which Lewis hed secreted.! On the toad near Mill Creek, a lai.ee stone micht bave been seen, beneath which it is supposed the treasure was buried, and there is where the man cot it. Two men were seen at the stone, a short time previous, who were try-, ing to remove it. How it was discovered is not Dositively known, but It is surmised that the same individual who was seen carrying tho bun dle has the features of a man who, about thirty years ago, lived on the premises, but who left shortly after thejnurder of a peddler near tbo place. This is a strange development, but from all the evidence we are disposed to believe that the men bave found a considerable amount of money under the stone. Nothing has bean told us concerning the lucky man, since he was seen trudging along with his budget." Markets br Telegrapb.
