(Haar, hear.) Two circumstances bath occurred within • meat period which bare added te the interest of this question. One of throe eiretunstanen is the message nut by the late Emperor of Runs, at the last stage of his illness, to the Prosaism court, 'aborting Prussia to nmaia the same as ever to Russia; or is other wards that she should au bane the mine lies of policy as that hitherto panned by that wart; and further ruommeudiag the Ring of Prussia to remember the counsels of his lab father, who was zealously and warmly attached to the Ullman with Russia. The other circumstance to whisk I have alluded is the manifesto of the new Emperor of Russia, is whisk he declares his iswation ti uphold to the highest pitch the honour and glory of Bessie. For what parpeset Is order that Russia may be enabled to NOM plish the views of his illustrious predigestion, Peter, Cathe nise, Alezaader, and his immediate predeceeor, his father. Vie know, my lords, that the predominant wish and desire of those respective sovereigns was the overthrow of the Ottoman empire and tee establish ment of the Russian empire at Constaatinopie ; or, is the words of Peer, t t obtain the keys of his dual aim. I tioefina I for the never anticipated any very wive or ondial support to the Allies from the court of Freesia. 1 think I could state reasons satisfactory enough to support that °Oahu Bat it would lead me too mach into details, and too far from the immediate object I have in view, and therefore I will abstain from going into theta.

It. (Rom) Bo amo acne to another phase, sad la was almost the last in this strange history. That was the treaty of Dee. 2. As their lordships were aware, the Wad powers met and negotiated that treaty. The object elk was to sell upon Rassia, within a mount from the date *Me treaty, to state such proposals for peace as the allies mid accept. When that treaty was signed, notate was gives to Prussia. Boom had been left for her to come in aid secede to it. She refused to do so. She would not subscribe to or join in that treaty. Some formal objections were urged by her on the ground of ;her refusal to subscribe to a joint treaty ; bat she stated that she would not object to subscribe to a similar treaty Judi. vidually with this country, and to another similar treaty with France. Well, the assayer to that proposition was—, " If you will secede to a treaty separate having the same effect with Prawn, and a similar separate treaty with Bog {sad, neeklesdeu will be made ea the part of the allies to timasess." But bum that time to the present she had sever sonsented to does. (Hoer, hear.) She had made museum pry—.be had carried on various sego tiatlone—siso had made a variety of proposals and qualifica tions numberless, bat none bet such as, if she had reflected at all, she must have known that the allies could not pos. sibly moat. (Hear, hear.) This wu the state in whisk Prussia stood at the present moment. The observations he (Lord adhurst) had made in reference to Prussia, in tennezioa with them transactions, must be understood as applying se the eourt of Pnada—to the governs/at of Prussia, and not to the station. (Roar, hear.) He had reason to holiens—indeed, he had maim to know that the national feeling of Paresis was nee at all la mason with that of the government. (Hem, beer.) He knew that from various senses—sourcee of a pails sharacter, open to all. But that very day, he had read a copy of an address ens nared by a committee of the lower hoses, to wham the soh poet of the army estimates was referred, eapressleg in the imaged terms whet he (Lord Lyadhuret) simesived, sad had always conceived, to be the national iheling Pranks. Be would take the liberty of moan this deriamest to their lordships. It was expressed in very strong leavings ' and corresponded, as nearly as possible, with the view he himself had always taken. It wee as follows:!' We cannot refrain from expressing the anxiety with which year Majesty's faithful people have followed, during the but ten months, the policy of the royal government in the t European question. It has seen with sorrow P leave the community of the greet powers r.pessent•l nest year at the Vienna conferences, sad thereby ressemee Ilibe at eMcacious means of assisting, by a lam attllmileorbidimenld exclude every doubt, the speedy aeleinmest att die objets so ardently desired by the whole annatry—s pease, offerieg durable paarreatess against the mmemal of fibe disturbance of established order in Europe, in swam nenlannable equally to the dignity, the iateresto, aril the peeiden of Prussia as a power, es also to the decima lises made at the commencement of the year by the sowers _ . _ meat of your Majesty concerning its (stirs 114 of policy.' (Hear, hear.) Such were the opinions and the sentiments of the Prussian nation as contrasted with the opinions and sentiments of the court and the government of Prussia. (Hear.) What he bad stated was of importance es tending Ming the question to a crisis. Russia, in the first bi llow, demanded an explanation of the meaning put upon the tour points by the allies. An answer was given and ea piimations were returned. Russia declared handf willing to negotiate upon that basis, and negotiations were opened. What was the course taken by Prussia ? She demanded to be admitted as a party to those negotiations, and as what 06:1:? (Hear) Principally upon the ground that ebe beeribed to the protocols of a year before and of the early part of that year. On what pretence could she claim ea such grounds to be a party to the negotiations? (Cheers.) It was true she bad subscribed to the protocols, and up to • certain period concurred in the acts of the other powers. But she subsequently deserted them. (Hear.) She divided herself from the allies on the question of the answer in the fleet instance to the demand for the evacuation of the Prin. elpalitics. Again, she refused to attend the meet leg of the allies to settle the basis upon which segotiations should be opened. (Hear, bear) Again, As continued her active opposition to the polio y of Austria In the German Diet. (Hear, hear.) Again, when the offer was sada te her to be a party to the treaty of December 2ed she refused, the object of that treaty being this—that, if Hods would not accept the terms of peace offered, the allies would pledge themselves to concert coercive measures to carry on the war. She refused to accede to that treaty, and she refused to negotiate the separate treaty she huedt proposed, binding her to join is such coercive measures. (Hear, bear.) On what ground, then—the bath of the negotiations being—the negotiations themselves arising ee they did, oat of the treaty of Dee. 2nd—on what ground maid she claim a right to be a party to them? (Hear, bear.) Then were other points of importance connected with these trimmitions as regarded Prussia, but it was not aeon may he should go inte them, for they were all ordained and answered with such admirable for* in the despatch of U. Decays do Lbuys, and, he doubted not, also in the despatch of the noble lord opposite (Marendon), as to make further comment unsesessary. (Cheers.) lie had only, therefore, upon this plat, te hope that the allies would adhere to the decision to width they had sem% sad would not, oa any pretence, allow Prods to be a party to these negotiations. (Loud and general cheer fag.) He was sore, from ell that had been stated, and frees every observation he had made, that if Prussia were ad mitted a party to the negotiations now procoediag at 'Vienna, she would act in concert with Raaela—(loser, hear) —that she would act as the ally of Rusia—(bear, hear) — that she would act u the instrument of Rasaia—(cheers)— that she would an, he might almost say, as the slave of Russia. (Load sad general cheering) He was sure she would se implicate the question at issue re to reader a satisfactory conclusion impracticable—(cheep)-mad if she TM admitted, he for one skould utterly despair of earth a ease& (Cheers.) It was singular that in the Wolin of or,natinni—at least, of some nations—that their diplomatic het lad their foreign volley assamod a peratooent term, surviving successive Mellareila and sees he Masi nionistimis. 'I bat was emphathally the cam with Reseda. The abareciter of her diplonseey—the priorripbr of her foreign VlZmight be teased back from the reign of the Great, through that of Catherine, through the reign of Aleasador, and through the reign of the late Emperor, down te the present. In like intoner we might trace the diplomatic character and the foreign policy of Prussia at least ee far back as the reign of Frederick the Groat, the pupil of the Freaah philosopher, who e:- changed hie teeddeg he that royal patronage which wee sometime. eiteMille and Nelittillee. withdrawn. The whole of the foreign _policy of Prussia, from the com mencement to the sloes of that mortarch's reign, was most unscrupulous in its character. It would never be forgotten that he was this contriver the originator, the instiotor, and the active !alignment of the partitioning of Poked, the most nefarious political transaction of modern times. (Loud cheers.) He could trace the same character in the foreign polity of Prussia, a:bibbed in the tame imbues, and curled out by . the same unesehralusc _ lamas, through rants, from the tint Prodadsk the Great down te e th premet time. He orsuld, however, mallas himself, by way of illustration, to suns with which their lordships were all familiar.

(Hear, hear.) Now he left their lordships, without any comment of his, to draw their own conclusions, and to form their own opinions upon the facts he had stated, and here he closed what he should call the int act of this political drama. Hs sow proceeded to the next stage. A Russian force having crossed the Danube, it was considered, and properly considered, by Austria right, after a certain interval had 'lased, I. call upon Prude to join her in a demand spot Russia to evac uate the Ptincipalities. A demand was drawn up and signed, and *repeated to the sovereign of that country for his signature. It was rather a steam measure for Pringle to refuse to add her signature to that demand.

(Hsi; bar 4 Remonstration have not been wanting, but the awn, or Prussia has always been—" Our policy is peace." And o*, lords, I do not doubt the sincerity of that declaration. Per haps there is no country in Europe in which war may be morejustly dreaded than In Prussia. (Load Willi of Hear, hear.") Other countries may treat it with levity ; sad we, from the inestimable advantages of our insular position, may but there is no country in Europe which has more restos to remember the dread calamities of war, or mon to dread their recurrence than Prussia. Thou feelings, however, may be carried ;co far, if they prevent her from fulallieg her obligations as a great European power, or from main taining the national honour. Prussia has always said that pesos was her policy ; bat France sad England are equally sincere in their desire for peace; and Prussia knows that they will not continue the war one single day longer than is neon saty to secure an honourable and lasting peace. We think, however, that the but way of arriving at a satisfactory pair is by prosecuting the war vigorously, whereas the policy which Prussia pursues can have no result but to retard it. I am not, my lords, questioning the right of Prussia to pur sue any policy she may think beet for her own interests, but I must profess my inability to understand that which she has hitherto pursued. It appears to me to be set an European, not a Prussian policy, not a war policy, neither one of peace, but one more calculated to thwart the policy of Austria than to keep the designs of Russia in check. (Hear, hear.) Austria is the natural and indis pensable ally of Prussia, bevies; no Interests at variance with her, whereas Eustis is the power which Prussia knows by painful experience she has moat to dread. It is perfectly tree that the unvarying policy of Rustle has been to keep Germany weak by disunion, and this policy has been promoted by the recant conduit of Prussia ; nevertheless, however eccentric her course may be, she is still a great European power, and easnot remain isAated when great European Interests are at stake. She cannot side with Russia against the feeling of her own pea pie, nor can she with Rorie march against Austria, because I she most know that at the end of such an unnatural and fratricidal war she would be at the mercy of Russia. But, on the other band, she will not side with Austria, but haiessunted an unfriendly attitude towards her, and has induced other powers to do the same, so that the result ; hitherto of Prussian policy has been to frustrate anion, and to prevent au united tone and uniform language on the pert ; of Germany towards Russia. The issue has, in fact, been to prevent that union which would have gone far to secure k a luting pesos, and to give to Germany those guarantees of ; which she stands so much in need. (Hear, hear.) I say, • then, that Prussia is in an isolated, and therefore in • false I position, and that although that fact may give satisfaction ; to her enemies, it is deeply regretted by the allies, and ; deeply felt by her own patriotic people. It is a position ; from which neither honour nor advantage can be derived, . and one which both this and the French government are I most anxious to put an end to. (Hear, hear.) It is to this I object that all oar efforts have tended, and I can assure your lordships that no exertions shall be spared to secure the free co-operation of Prussia, while everything shall be done in • ; friendly spirit, and with due regard to the honour and feel , Inge of a great and independent nation.

The Exhibition at 121, Pall-mall, in aid of the Patriotic Fund, which will open next week, promises to be of the most interesting kind ; for, besides very liberal don& tions by many of the nobility of works by their own band; it is now certain that the collection will be enriched with artistic productions by members of the royal family. The Priuceu Royal, the Prince of Wales, and the Princeum Alice and Helena have already contributed some of their own drawings. Lord Erskine died on Monday last, at his house in Sussex. The deceased peer commenced has diplonsaticlife as Minister to the United Stater, at the beginning of the present century, and be only retired from the same post, at Muni* in 1813. Hie lordship is succeeded by his tided 'lwo, the Hon. Thomas Americus, now third Baron &Skill.). As the Lord Chancellor was delivering judgment yesterday afternoon in the House of Lords an immense atone, which was being hauled up to the ventilator tower, immediately over the house, fell with a fearful crash epos the roof, almost immediately over his lordship. The acci dent occasioned his lordship and other members of the house considerable uneasiness. After hearing various obaervatione from a deputa tion who waited upon him yesterday, respecting the wine duties, the Chancellor of the Exchequer said:—"lf Mr. Oliveira's anticipation of the result of the Vienna Confer ences be realised, it would then be a question to discuss the islicy of reducing the wine duties; but I need scarcely tell you that at this moment, when the expenditure of the coon try considerably exceeds the revenue, it is not possible to reduce not only the wins duties, but even other duties to which stronger objections might be made. The wine duty is a duty upon a luxury, upon an article not produced in England. It is not, therefore, a p rotective duty. If a con siderable reduction in it were made, that would bring into peril the duties on spirits and malt. The duty on spirits exceeds 10,000,000/., and we can hardly look forward to any time, not far distant, when we shall be able to :isk so large a revenue. The malt duty is also exceedingly productive, and if wine were to come in it would certainly dismiss both spirits and beer. I have great difficulty in believing that any wine sold at a few pence a bottle would not displace spirits. For the present, at all events, this can scarcely be considered a practical question. If Mr. Oliveira be right in his anticipations, his motion may be a proper one to make in the House of Commons (though I am afraid there would be many competitors for any reduction that could be made), but, I fear, it would require to be very sanguine indeed to be able to look for Rey immediate reduction of taxation at all." (A. laugh.) Mr. Charles Dickens has consented to visit Ashford to read his " Christmas Carol." on Tuesday next, for the benefit of the South. Eastern Railway Mechanics' Institution. Captain Barlow, the General Manager 01 the Railway, will preside. The Rev. Win. Chartres Safford, A. 8., has, on his own petition as patron, been instituted by the Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, to the rectory of Christ Church with St. Ewen, in the city of Bristol, vacant by the death of the Rev. John Strickland. A letter from Rome of the 10th, in the Univers, states that a Mr. Palmer, represented as a distinguished man at Oxford, had a few days before read his recantation of protestantiam, and been received into the Roman catholic church. TESTIMONIAL TO LORD DUDLEY STUART. A meeting is to be held on Friday next, at 2 o'clock, at Willis's Rooms, Lord SILAPTISBURY in the chair, for the purpose of raising a testimonial to the memory of the late Lord Dudley Stuart. No better chairman could be found for a more proper object. The deceased noble man's life had been devoted to works of philanthropy and benevolence. His purse, his interest, hie abilities, and his time, were always at the disposal of the oppressed and the anfortunate. Richer men may have spent more money in similar pursuits ; none ever bestowed on them greater per• severance, or more indefatigable exertions. The merit of hie notions was enhanced by the modesty which made him almost blush if they happened to be known; and the per sons whom he served in various ways can never forget the delicacy of feeling which enhanced the value of the service performed. Lord Dudley Stuart had many clients, but he had, also, many and sincere friends ; nor bad he any enemies, even among his political opponents. Hatred is too often generated by polities; but where the sincerity of an opponent is unquestionable, even that pinion is disarmed. The aristocracy may well be proud of Lord Dudley Stuart; but that would be inadequate praise, if the people in gene- , rid were not, also, proud of him as one of their fllow• countrymen, identified with their nobler feelings and inde pendent sentiments. We hope that the meeting will be well attended. It is due to the departed, axd due to the living. CRYSTAL PALACE. —BIIILIJNO DAL—TIMMY, March 20.
