The Vag of DAMMAM( can restore peace to Holstein to morrow by guaranteeing or ptomain to them their old and rightful institutions. Bat the Kiss of Minium will do no such thing, the un settled state of Holstein being the desired pretext for either toning Prussia to menhir the prison of the old Federation, and thus forfeit its last claim to bead a liberal party is Germany, or for allowing Russia to invade and coerco a North German province. The effect of the life resolutions of the conference in London can be soother than to eneouragethe King of DErsx•xx to invade Holstein without offering to the Holateiners that fr. edom and partial independ ence guaranteed to it by the law of the Confederation and the treaty of Vienna. The Germans of the neigh bouring states cannot be kept in each a state of things from aiding the Holsteiners. So that we are to have • Russian army, with a French and English &et coercing Gamma, in order to serve the occult and retrograde designs of Austria and oil Russia. ----- Such an act or each en 'Maws would be highly disgraceful to England, and highly prejudicial to its future interests. If Englard, as &presented by a liberal ministry, haves friends in Europe, these friends are, or rather were, to be found in North Germany, throughout which prevails that love of representative institutions and Eberty of commerce, unfortu nately stifled or eclipsed in every other part of Europe. If England is seen joining in the north with all the despots of the world to cheek and stifle progress, whilst it stood so lately in opposition to those despots in behalf of liberal progress and national independence in the south, what will be said but that the foreign policy of England has undergone a change, and that ministers have seen fit to counterbalance their anti-Russian policy in the Mediterranean by a pro-Russian policy in the Baltic ? We should deplore this fur many reasons, but fur none mcre than that of seeing England plane itself in antagonism to the liberel spirit in Germany, and thus rteommerce with regard to Germany that mutual hostility, which bred so many wars and such rivalry between us and Fiance. As to patting Ger many beck into the old and narrow conservatory of the Confederation, one might as well attempt to put a forest tree ander a hand-glass. The ocipaannuated and periwig party of Europa imagine that if they could brim Prussia to the ways of 1813, all would go straight, and revolution would be crushed for ever. On the contrary, we feel convinced theta* violent and popular revolution is to be prevented, it will be by some great state Ike Prussia attempting to realise some or the hopes and promises of 1848, and succeeding in some essay at national amity, and representative freedom. If Prussia fails, or is thrust forcibly from her purpose, none will be so delighted as the ultra-democrats, since it leaves the stage cuter for them, and turns the thoughts of every German be his class, or pro'esaion, what it may, middle or lower, military or civilian, towards some new way of attaining those national desire', which the crowned heads and allied courts of Europe have most bolistily and most inigaitoosly leagued to prevent. Wausx Ross, accused and declared by a jury, at the last Yorkshire Summer 41mi:es, guilty of poisoning his wife, is ordered for execution on Wed nesday. Various circumstances having conspired, subsequently to his sentence, to suggest a belief that he might be innocent, steps have been takes to make minute inquiries by an intelligent and trustworthy agent among his ceighbours. The result ban been so strong and salvers - la conviction of his innocence that memorials, signed by large numbers of the inhabi tants of his own village, of rue immediately adjoining and of the neighbouring town of Ashton-ander-Lyne, and by 2,000 citizens of the town of York, heeded by the Mayor and other influential individuals, have been transmitted in his behalf to Sir thottoe GREY. The evidence upon which the memorialists pro- coed has been submitted to us, and we invite the most earnest attention of our readers to the following neces sarily brief and imperfect abstract of its contents. We waive altogether the question of the utility of capital punishments for the present : we frankly admit that while they are legal their infliction ought not to be averted indirectly by getting up probable cases in favour of emivices. We admit that anapiciom attaches to all extra-judicial attempts to establish the innocence of a prisoner judieially con victed ; that the humane are in such cases apt to be too fac,le of belief. We do not maintain that the statements to which we are about to direct attention PRVSSIA is certainly buret by one of the most extra ordinary and formidable leagues that ever availed a single power. We have read of the League of Cam bray against Venice ; and W 3 have seen the tong. nental Ragas that NeiroLeosi banded against Eng land. Both leagues were inepired and concluded by several countries jealous of the freedom and prosperity of a small one. The jest nay which Prussia hes ex cited in the governments of Europe is something of the same kind. Prussia was a small kingdom, one of the most recently risen in Germany and in Europa. It has gradually raised itself, in part by the ability and genius of its rulers, but in a still greater part by its representing all the newer and more liberal elemente, which have sprung up in Europe. It long represented the cause of religious freedom, opposed to the bigotry of Austria. To this it now adds the championship of representative institutions and con stitutional government for Germany. We are far from either admiring or approving all that Pru•sia has done, either in the last years or in the devious ones. Even when in pursuit of liberal aims the cures of the cabinet of Berlin has been tor tuous and timid. Bat the difficulties of its position should be taken into account. Thus the late Ring and the present are fiercely censured for not having con ceded, of their own free will, a full and fair represen tative system to their suhjects. But Prude which has been, and is, ever in presence of a jealous and &seems% rival in Austria, cod of an inveterate foe in France, could never at any time with prudence or in safety, have separated herself from Russia, which has saved and supported the Prussian monarchy in trying time. But friendship with Russia is am to be maintained by a monarch, who makes liberal 0011C011305/. Then is in truth but one RTMIIt NOWT. of from which Prussia could derive the means of shaking off Russian iSBOSSCS and defying Austrian enmity ; and that is popularity with the German nation. After the events of the sprieg of 1848, the King of PRUSSIA tried to obtain this support. He accepted a most liberal constitution, abetted a alssilar one for Germany, and fell in with German enthusiasm for 'maintaining the rights and indeperdence of the Germans of Schleswig and Hol- 1 stein. In the end, however, the Prussian court and the German liberals vuld not agree, and the rupture was owing quite as much to the eatravagant fatuity of the liberals, as to the vacillation of the Prussian vovernment. We will say this too for the wart of Prussia, that nine* the failure of the Frank fort Assembly, and the utter subsidence or destruction of democracy, it hat made ►iocers efforts for the pre serTativo in Prussia of a representative system, and for the establishment of German unity upon some basis in re era?, more rational, and more liberal than • mere c )'trio of diplomatists of Frankfort, calling itself • Diet, but in reality a mere succurnal of the Ault° touted of Vienna.

PRUSSIA. We have news from Berlin of the 4th inst. It is affirmed that the temporary differences be tween the French and Austrian governments respect ing alleged legitimist conspiracies have disappeared bet ore more important affairs which have become the subject of negotiations. M. Hubner is said to have received vo!uminous instructions from Vienna. The events in Mayeoce and the march of Baden troops for Prussia are represented to the French go vernment by Austria as reasons for replacing the affairs of Germany order the control of the old diet, which may devise a more complete system of centralisation. Similar representations have been made in Paris on behalf of the court of St. Petersburg. The Austrian circular despatch of the 19th does not call upon the government to nominate representatives to a diet, but infers the necessity of such a proceeding. Lespite Austrian state intrigue, however, the at tempt to derive a diet from the three months old plenary assembly will not succeed. The fact is, that the members of that body which wee to be the Deus ez tufiehina in the midst of complications do not agree. Hesse Darmstadt is all at once alarmed at the prospect of the old diet; so is Luxemburg, so is Limburg. The nine voices necessary to give a majority of the ordi nary diet, which consisted of 17 members, are thus reduced to 7. Another difficulty is that some German f cling shows itself, even in the plenum, and the Holstein ambassador's presence is objected to. The restricted council is thus reduced to 6, a number with which no bu►iness can be transacted. Prussia has answered the late Austrian ne'e, on the subject of the march of the Baden,, troops through Mayeece, to the elfcct that under no cireumstanee 6 will she permit the march of those troops to be retarded by an arbitrary interpretation of the federal law., since Austria is eirt dently only wresting the meaning of these laws to make a political demonstration. Austria has moreover no right to give orders to the governor of Harem's. They mast proceed from the commission of the Bund. The CJojae Gazette contains the following tele graphic dispatch: "BERLIN, Avousv 6. "The semi-eflleial organ declares that the smaller oauccil (elvers Rath) cannot be constituted." The reports relative to the proposals and advice with regard to Prussia's participation ars without foundation. The Stades Anseiyer publishes the authorisation of the Bund Commission in Prussia, relative to ths treaty of peaoo with reservation of the rights of the Band, and conditionally on Ito ratification by all the states of the Bund.

The following is the circular despatch addressed by Austria to the Darman governments with respect to the calling of the Diet at Frankfort : VIENNA, JULY 19, 1860.—1 n nay last note, of the 10th inst. I detailed the counts of our late negotiations with the Pruialan cabinet, and the game of their failure. Tun and events impel nets a resoitatisa, which anal be one of • decides character. We thereto» regard it as • duty nar rowly to »amino the present position which we occupy, and to communicate the sank to our confederates, In order that thof may be ebbe to judger whither one views 4 the prawn states of Wain, mad the cosolusiess we have .denweklgan tram Iwo marat or not. We have paned several eggealies before us, to which we have siadavennid to give meisoientlous Mason. The Ara is, naturally—Whether Ike exislonos o 4 the German nerd, without • onatitution, sad ma • "(Ural (Ran of will and action, is possible 1 Bat 1 this is not the east, then it an.* be the duty of every member of the indissoluble Bond to acknowledge the coomeinstion settled by treaties, until a sow am has been Canannetaid is • lega l manes, and to take sans that the Bend shall sot be left without • legal organ. Without the conscientious fulfirnast of thes• two emential conditions of tho existence of the Band, at acknow adamant of the validity of the federal treaties and the tights anA u than* arising, is inossisisnist, glass the Thitit b tltr the Bend flies the very conception of those ' a and obligations, and provide* for the maintenance of both only, through the supreme organ of the collective satin Is it Permitted suppose that these obligations are on all sides reeipneeal ? Opinions aro divided on the validity of the &dotal multitude's, Am by some only to particular provisions of the constitution is that validity otheeded, othen being rnarded as abolished. This different* of °palm', which nails according to time and ctreneaseances, ' , his led to an arbitrariness of application of oar principles, is assequenos of which a coniplot• confusion of id , as has ' ban brought about on tbt questions in debate. Ma revision ' of lb. federal convention, rendered necessary by th e present smut of Germany, is rendered more pressing by the daily airnat of events. Bind th• lit of May of this year there has been DO organ of the confederation presently acknow ledged as • legal authority. The control commission, which up to that period DU recognised as such, it is true, continues ies setivity,but the time for +MA it was appointedhaving ex. plred, It cannot be regarded ies a court competent to discharge , the general affairs of Germany.Aecordingly every confederate , state is hound to offer hia hand to the (Graafian of a new organ of the Bend. Can they who deny the existence of the federal constitution, or who only admit it in part, and who ream to co-operate hcnestly for a revision of the same, and the formation of a new central organ, sincerely believe that the treaties out of which constitutions and prov!rilis alike grew aro yet valid: But is not this co•operotion virtu all denied when it is made dependent on inadmissible con. ditloas, and must not conditions be considered inadmiasible which require that dining the negotiations for a provisorium and the recoastruetios of the confederation the union formed by Pratte and other states on May 2.5, 1819, shall be 'maintained in unbroken power : a union which sets out that its members, " to show their earnest desire to settle the retain.= of Germany in the future, according to the neces sities of the times and the principles of justice, pledge themselves to give to the German people • constitution con , formable to the provisions of their treaty ?" Innumerable acts prove that the view. of the union are not renGunced. Among these may be mentioned the letter scat to the Saxon government ea reply to the note announci,g the retirement of that government from the union and the notes forwarded from the Prussian foreign o ff ice to the Hanoverian government. There CTIV.4iII a clear proof that the task which the united governments hays undertaken in the 4th article of their treaty is still by them considered u before thew May not it be properly asked on what grounds a r.umber of confedereta governments *num* a right to rule the future uf G. rmany and to give a coanitution to the Germanic people ; and do s not the right which Austria and other save/Damns have to oppose tho formation of • union with such an object occur to every mind ? And further, how is it pooible for the collective governments ever to sue. ceed in transactions and resolutioes for the new formation of the Bend if one past of the same consider itself entitled to give constitutions and a future to Germany ? Would not such efforts traverae and mutually thwart each other ? Or shall the constitutional work be sunceded on the part of the collective stater, and the relations of ell the governments and maples be left in their yresent confusion without a ern• tral power until the constituti n of the union is completed, in order that the general constitution may be subxdinated to it ? The Bond is a collective and independent whole, c 'Reposed of states severally independent of each other, with atonal federal rights and obligations. '1 ha prerogative of der veloping and forming • constitution only belongs to the col lective members of too ownedoration. This right of the entire body mast be preserved and ungeld as a security for the future. While the imperial go tetanal/at has incessantly laboured to assert the right of the 'thole, and to guard it from infiingernent, it does not insist up.o a particular form for its exercise ; it would rather state those considerations which "lipase to it moot calculated to prostate harmony of action without esdaogering material rights. In this sense were the codes yours of Austria to bring about an understanding with Prussia commenced and carried firward. Ti this end it was ready to mike sacrifices of its nearest individual inte rests In order to bring about • common actten with Prussia, the cabinet of Vienna applied, in April last, to that of Berlin, to procure its assent to the calling of • e,e press cf all the members of the lload. Those efforts tie ra devil of all result, Preis .ia having always made a condition of its agreement the o cknaw lodgment, impossible to Austria, of the union. Since, under each circumstances, net only the preparation of the way for a revision of the cornitute.n but even the formation of • saw provisorium was impossible, no other way stood open to Austria than to toles her sta-d upon the ground of the old laws of the eonfederatien, and to do this formally ar.d wish decision, until • new eons itution could be establiehed. This must be acknowledged to be the only meow by which the imperial government could hope to rescue eke vital question of te ci., ral eTiIt••CII from the fatal confusion into which it had fallen, and trov.d• for its careful and happy a lution. The imperial court has incurred great danger of being misunderstond. or of having its motives misinterpret'''. But the confidence which ha, bean extended to its declarations has allayed the anxiety which may have been felt in seine quirt, n. Its wormer that the calling of the plenary assembly was not in tended to prepare the way for I return to the earlier condition of things, hut only to develop sad form • iesw state, has met with general acceptaten. The step which Austria tock on the 26th of April hot was greeted with gratitude by the greater part of Germany, and retarded on all -ides witte vat disfruot. A number of confederates indeed declined to take port in the I congress called at Frankfort on !travel prounde of • moot doubtful character, and placed the treat ends of the Bund, nay its very existent, in danger by their abstinence from co-operation in the work of union, and by their naleration that " °telly a free deliberation of the sovereign states of Germany could be consented to in an assembly where tam states might meet in complete freedom and independency, while their agreements could only be derived from the completest freedom of deltbtratiun. But is auth a demand consistent with a belief in the of the f. d ral treaties; which, indeed, provide for the inch- I pendency and individuality of the sepsrate etre", but yet ' under limitations required, in order to render the aims of the confederation attainable, and to provide for the fulfil. mint of federal duties? Those who no more acknow ledge these obligations, and claim unlimited freedom for them selves, cannot acknowlcdo the validity of the federal treaties. Although the governments assemtdcd in Frankfort on:the ground of federal law would have been completely justified in making use of their right, and taking m Hanes for up holding the Bund and accomplishing its objects, the imperial government, in ord. r to leave no means unsought to attain ' a union of sentiment and action with Prussia, advanced to meet the proposals made during the pest month by the Berlin cabinet, and showed a rare indulgence to its wishes. ' This attempt, however, remained just as fruitless as those which preceded It, after Prussia had this time expressly laid down the principle of • free union only, in order to leave the special question of acknowledging the union open's well as its relations to the other G.rman states. At the same time the Prussian government declared, in direct contradiction to the spirit of the foregoing extort Won, that it would reserve the right of proceeding with the formation and development of the union state according to the treaty of May 20, and would c insider it as will infixing. That such • concession must have been impossible to the imperial government, must I appear from what has already been advanced. The act on which the union of May 2G was formed lays down as its basis that " the interior and external safety uf Germany is endangered by the position in which tho German confedera tion is placi d; and that, therefore, the circumstances which call fur a single direction of Garman affairs 'soil and require the narrower union of the cfntracting governments " The aim of this Bund is further given in Art. I, as " the maintenance of the interior and external security of Germany and the independeaco of the individual states." Without going back to the causes which brought about the necessi ties alleged in this document we will coo fine ourselves to the question whether the Bond formed as early as Into has not imagined, in Art. 2 of the Bunches note, and in Art. 1 of the concludiug sat of Vienna, the pos sibility of circumstances such as aro now adduced , as justifying the formation of the union, and whether the professed ends of Prussia might not have born equally and better attained by • timely and powerful support of the ' central power by Prussia and her allies in the moment of I danger ? If this be so, what need is there for the continued so • • or existence ol • union which disturbs and restricts , the affairs o ( the confederation, and prevents the happy toll'- , tioa of the constitutional question in Germany ? Why can not the completion of this union bet delayed until the 1 general constitutional question her be settled; and why may not the right of governments to unit* remain in abey• anc• until the limits within which it may be lawfully emu dad are laid down is the now constitution ? On examination of the present situation of public affairs, we cannot avoid the conviction that it would ant be possible, by a free assembly, that is to say an amenably not called according to the provisions of the federal constitution nor , acting under its processions to succeed in aiming to an agree moat on the formation of • provisorium, and still lens upon the no less necessary and pressing revision of the federal I treaty. By those *aviation , we are compelled to the eon • elusion that only one means is lent of drawing Germany from the confusion now reigning. This means is the calling r together of Ws narrower council of the eonfederationin order to disolarg• the humnioos of • antral power until • no , many shall have beta appointed and installed, and in the meantime to proceed with the aecoseery work of raininc i the asstitution. The assembly of the Bund which ohm- nlsSered thee attained the confederation limn its formation to July 12, 1844, on that day declared its labours finally ten alsateed, and transferred itsrights and duties to a pron e atonal antral power, with the expectation that • definitive • antral authority would be provided by • new ocen; • stitution which sou to he (brined.
