In a Curious Position.

Prince Joseph SulkowskL is nosv drawing a good deal of attention to himself, says a letter from Berlin. About three months ago he escaped from an asylum in Vienna, was captured at Zurich, and relegated to another asylum at Bonn. The attendants who abetted his escape from tfhe Vienna asylum have been punished by imprisonment, but meanwhile the doctors at Bonn are declaring that the prince is not and pever has been mad. This puts him in a curious position. He is the owner of vast estates in Prussia and Austria, and an hereditary in both countries. Unless, therefore, tho doctors all como to an agreement, ho will be mad in one country and sane in another. In Prussia he will bo privileged to make laws, in Austria his signiture will not be valid for so much as a florin.
