THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING FEBRUARY 6, 1855. now that it has been smashed to all intents and purposes, he cannot re-establish it. We tell him firmly and unflinchingly that lh public Will not now stand Lord ABERDEEN /—that if that unpopular nobleman, " dear and excel lent" as he may be in some quarters, hold office, it will paralyse all his exertions, defeat all his calculations. The mere fact will make both friends and enemies suspect a juggle. It will not improve the estimation iu which Lord ABERDEEN is held, but it may reduce Lord PAL.. MERSTON to a similar level—a matter which, in the present dearth of statesmen, could only be regarded as a national calamity of no ordinary magnitude. It would lead to the belief—in some cases as bad as the certainty—that he had be come a disciple of the " peace-at-any-price " prin ciple, the fawning and obedient lacquey of Germanism. While, therefore, we earnestly desire his success, we do so_in the anticipation that he will entirely emancipate himself from the trammels of Aberdeenism and Germanism. If, unfortunately, the hope should prove unfounded, and there are sinister rumours afloat, great, indeed, will be his fall ; his name will be come as obnoxious as it heretofore has been popular, and will stink in the nostrils of the people. We shall not, however, give up a man in whom we had confidence until satisfied, on in contestable evidence, that he is n• longer worthy of support. No vague reports shall remove the reliance which we have unhesitatingly enter tained, and as candidly expressed, on every suit able occasion. " .Rusticus expectat diem defluat amius." While our gallaat troops are enduring the most fearful privations before Sebastopol, we are waiting at home for the formation of a strong and united Administration ! Just at the moment when there is the greatest necessity for vigorous and energetic action, is the paralysis produced by the Ministe rial crisis, and the coquetting of public men, who are the more intent on playing out their own pal try games, or feeding their own vanity, although at the expense of a heca tomb of .hriman sacrifices per diem a heca tomb chose n from the best and bravest of our brethren ! Everything, however, must yield to etiquette or red-tapism." That is the " MoLoca" whose insaitiable demands must be so fearfully supplied, - whose sanguinary appetite must be ap peased at so awful a cost. Better that men should starve in the neighbourhood of plenty—that they should endu re all the pangs of TANTALUS than that a single ()Mc ial regulation should be abrogated, or even modifi ed. What avails it that there are ample stme3 at Balaklava, if, from the absence of printed requisitions, they cannot, or rather will not, be su.7plied ? What is the use of abundance of warm (ilcvthing if the half-naked soldiers sink under the inclemency of the weather, because an intermedi. tts link between the ample supply and the urgen t demand is wanting? Nor will it fill the empty stet at ach to know that there are unlimited supplies of wholesome and palatable food at a short diatom , ce. The pettiness of the obstacle, the paltry natur a of the impediment, only adds to the vexation of those who are perishing for want in eight of plan ty. Why, the 11, should there be this littleness of disposition a mongst those whom the country has been accu st omed to regard as its leading states men? W lay should personal vanity be suffered to intrude itself where it is so strangely out of place— Then the nation is making so many sacrifices— -lvhen every man throughout the length and breacitl of the land is fairly setting his shoulder to the wheel, or at least bearing a fair iwrcportion of the onerous burdens which Mi.. GALDSTONE'S financial policy have imposed om him ? Why should these who have prod uc ed the crisis be the only ones to hold aloof, or t o refuse their aid to get rid of the dead lock in wh lob the State machine is now fixed ? If ever there was a time when the notion of GEORGE MI., that he would go down to Charing cross, and press the first twelve men he met into his service, to form an Admi nistration, could be realised, it is the present n ioment. Every indulgence will be afforded - to those who show themselves really in earnest. It is only apathy and insouceance that will be cen cured. Let, then, all who aspire to the character or statesmen remember this great fact ; and, also, that the estimation in which they will hereafter I )e, held will mainly depend on their pre sent condu ct . Let them then brave any torrent -face any , difficulty, rather than stand idly by and see au , precious time wasted in useless specu lation, wh it° the current of events glides on un changed an 113. unaltered. Of the many striking instances of credulity on the part of - well-to-do classes of the community, few, if man have surpassed in folly that exhibited by the ow] hers of sugar estates in our West India colonies. Every day's experience must have told them that, in all commercial operations, the per sonal super intendence of the principal ever was, and must c antinue to be, one of the most essential elements of :permanent success. That even where the deputy is energetic, and his zeal and integrity unquestion able, he cannot feel an interest equal to that of th , s owner in the thrifty management of the proper ly confided to him ; and that even if he does, if; is out of his power to inspire, as a proprietor assuredly can, a corresponding feeling in others. And yet, apparently in utter ignorance or oblivim 'mess of so commonplace a fact, the great body of West India proprietors were con ten k to entrust the cultivation of their estates to agents wholhe faces they often had never seen, and of whose real character they knew little or n othing. The use of their colonial property was to supply them with a yearly income, a ad so long as their agents se cured them - that, it was a matter of indifference how many at ripes on the shoulders of QUAIMEE went to an acre of sugar cane, or on what sort of foundatiotns the prosperity of their plantations was based. It was the age of slavery and pro tection. It is far from our intention to attribute to them more folly or a darker culpability than they . deserved. :Nobody would believe us were we idiotic enough to insinuate that they were indif ferent as to the continuance of that apparent pros perity to which they owed so many of the little comforts and elegances of life, or were bristally reckless of - the sufferings of the negro, whose labour was necessary to insure the despatch of the remittances of their agents. The fact is, they thought very little, if at all, about either of these matters. It was rather a feather in a man's cap to be known as a West India proprietor ; and the country squire, who was so, had an equal satisfaction in the addi tion from this source to his income. He could hunt with any man, drive as hard terms with his tenants as most landlords, and bag as much game at as little cost as any of them. What had he to do with th e f u t ur e ? What prophetic hand was eye, th there t o t race b e f ore the retina of the squire archal te o r r ribe thlatwoorafteAbluoixiutiori:us of resident Slavery planter, i and Free Trad e I The links and manacles of the slave fell off his fretted limbs before the indignant voice of a humane and outraged people. Q UASHEE looked up, and the plantations began to go down, and the planters to look about them. The system of pro tection received a rude shock, and, what with free labour and free trade, things grew very black for the owners of sugar estates. Their prosperity had been so thoroughly artificial that, on the gentlest application of the simplest rules of trade it burst like a bubble. Remittances came less punctually when they came at all, and then grew small by degrees and beautifully less. Mortgage followed mortgage, and the West India interest was ruined. It had been compelled to sell, though not for a trifle, the slave it whipped, and to keep its respectable fingers out of the na tion's pocket ! It was ruined because it had to help itself. Russians. When things get to the worst, it is said—they mend. Many of the West India estates passed from maiden, clerical, and squirearchal into busi ness hands, and in the majority more energy and economy was infused, by the resident planters, into the management. It is not easy, however, to revivify a corpse, and the ruinous effects of two false and pernicious systems could not be overcome in a season. Whether our West India Colonies will ever again be as prosperous as of old will depend on their management. If that be good they may ;if not, they won't. In proof of this look at Jamaica. Sir HENRY BARKLY the Governor of this island in a despatch, consisting of a series of papers, illustrating the condition of that island, and just nowpresented to Parliament, gives it as his opinion that the prospect of the sugar cultivators is very far from desperate, and that, notwithstanding their competition with the whole world, no plantation, managed with average discretion, is likely, at the very least, to insure 'a lbss on the proprietor ; nay, he goes further, and asserts that " whenever the cultivation is on a sufficient scale to yield from 150 hogheads and upwards, he is confident the plantation will leave a handsome return, even when carried on by hired agency alone." In brief, all that is waited to insure the prosperity of the sugar cultivators of Jamaica, and, we will add, of the West India islands generally, is an ordi narily judicious application of capital and labour, and a by no means exhaustive degree of directing energy on their part. The wisdom as well as the justice of liberating the slave, and the soundness of our free-trade policy, are already amply vindi cated. As the evils consequent on slavery and protection are diminished—evils political, social, and moral—the blessings of personal and commer cial freedom increase, and grow more and more apparent.

Several steamers and other vessels are aim about to take their departure for Algiers and Co rsica for troops for the East. The Monita publishes the following letter from the Frankfort Journal, dated Vienna, Jan. 31 : "No doubts lan be entertained of the authenticity of the very confide] itial despatch of the Austrian Govern ment of the 14th of January, even if the original text should contain a few expressions differing from, those of the despatch wh: ch has been published ; for it ' may be questioned whet; ler the Austrian envoys to the German Governments foz whom it was meant were authorized to leave a copy of tl sat document with the respective Minis ters of Foreign. Affairs. This is why the communication of that demure e it to Governments and individuals for whom it was lac t intended could only have been made by p.rsons of ti ie highest eminence, who did not pos sess an authentic copy, but who had kept the contents in their memory. . " But, rnakiss every allowance for any difference which may exi-1 'between the original document and that which has beers published, any one who has carefully followed the p ^ )gress of events cannot be much sur prised at the st e p taken at last by Austria. The Austrian Cabinet could I t we confined itself to the ordinary path of negotiations . as long as the great interests of Ger many, like tilos of the empire of Austria, were not im mediately threl coed by dangers arising from the irre solution of son i e of its German confederates, and from the tergivers liens of others, in consequence of a false apprecia' ion of the situation of Europe.

Prussian despatch of the sth of January, and which, if it called upon the majority of the German Diet to re• fret the wel!-known propositions of Austria, ought to he at once c nisiriered as a formal diversion made ix fa vour of RuE.iia—that attitude forced Auaria, in conse quence of the important interests thereby immediately menaced, to hold herself also ready for such a case, and to make known to her German confederates what would take place when it had occurred. "What proves how judiciously Am.,tria acted in doing so already on the 14th of January is proved by the cir cular despatch issued a few days later by the Berlin Ca binet, and in which it puts forth quite a new condition under which alone the engagements taken towards Aus tria in the treaty of April, and the additional article November are to be recognised as valid by Prussia and the other German Gov ernments, and which was already hinted at (said in nuce) in the Prussian despatch of the sth of Ja nuary ; and when looked closer into, this latter docu ment contained already an ill-concealed menace, although the allusions to the sword of a great Power (Prussia) were not thus interpreted in the reply of Austria. . . " It is thus shown how Austria was driven to take the step designated in the confidential despatch of the 14th of January by such an attitude of Prussia ; and, in this respect, it must not be overlooked that this attitude of one of the great German Powers towards Austria— an attitude which indicated ulterior views—becomes gradually more prominently defined at, decisive periods." fr. c. ft. e.

Lord Palmerston, it would appear, is still en gaged in the work of forming a new Administra tion ; but it is stated that some difficulties exist in the completion of the Cabinet. One authority attributes the difficulty to Earl Grey, whilst an other, which is perhaps more reliable, assigns it to Mr. Gladstone. In the event, however, of Mr. Gladstone declining to act with Lord Pal merston, it is not improbable that his office will be accepted by Sir Charles Wood, who has already had several inter views with the noble lord on the subject. Sir William Moleswcrrth is not unwilling to undertake the Colonies ; and should such an arrangement be come to, the 'Woods and Forests will be again placed in the bands of the Earl of Carlisle or Lord Elcho, Sir George Grey returning to the Rome-aloe. It is right that we should add, that this appropriation of offices is based upon extreme probability, under existing circum stances, and the intercommunication which has taken place between the future Premier and the personages alluded to, during last night and this morning, would seem to strengthen the impres- sion. Her Majesty came to town this morning about half-past 12 o'clock, and Lord Palmerston, in obedience to her Royal commands, immediately afterwards had an audience with the Queen at Buckingham Palace, which lasted some time. There can be hardly room for doubt, if present appearances are to be relied. upon, that the noble -lord has determined to form an Administration, and in the event of his not meeting with that support in the Commons which the exigencies of the time demand, he will most likely appeal to the country, where his popularity is unquestion able. It is just possible that something certain may transpire ii the house this evening. Lord PALMERSTON is engaged in the formation of a new Government, but his arrangements have not as yet been completed. Business has there fore been again adjourned, in order to give ample time to the Noble Lord. Grievously as the nation is suffering from the consequences of a Ministerial interregnum, we do net object to the delay. It is but an act of simple justice, of that common fair play so dear to every true British heart, that he should receive reasonable time. We want a finished piece of workman ship—one that can bear the stringent tests to which it will unquestionably be subjected ; and therefore we shall not unduly press the performer, but will cheerfully assent to every reasonable application for indulgence. But while we thus freely yield the necessary time, we look forward to adequate results. We cannot be contented, after the loss of a week or ten days—a matter of no trivial importance at the present crisis—to find that there has been merely a shuffling of the cards—a change of parts, but not of performers—a new combination of the used-up dramatis personce. We want the infusion of new blood—of fresh, vigorous, and energetic vitality into the worn-out concern. It will not do to have the " virtuous old man," who twaddles per petually about " the blessings of peace," and is always ready to receive the impending buffet, and to forgive his persecutors, obtruded on the audi ence. His spurious sentimentality and palpable incapacity alike disgust the House ; and after having been hissed off, with singular unanimity, in one character, he cannot be received or tole rated in another. We may add—" Woe to the manager who shall venture to trespass on the public by such an experiment ! which, in the case of a provincial theatre, might load to the tearing up of the benches—in that of the Grand Drama at Westminster, to an impeachment." We need not say how we are affected towards Lord PALMERSTON. For years we have recognised with admiration the ability and energy which he displayed in discharge of the duties confided to his charge. But it was in the Foreign Office that his services were most beneficial. There his great experience, his thorough appreciation of diplo matic humbug, and tact in cutting short illusory negotiations, would have been peculiarly valuable. His very name, as the Minister, not of Russia, of Austria, or of Germany, but of Great Britain— who might in that capacity have fairly adopted the motto, " Memo me impitne lacessit"—would alone hava proved a tower of strength, and prevented the War. But lie was transferred to a compara tively minor position. In place of taking the part for which he was peculiarly qualified, he was • pitchferked into a place where he was not wanted. That he made a good Home Secretary was unde niable. But he would hare done anything well, and there was as great a waste of power as if some exigeant manager had required EDMUND KEEN to fill the part of Banquo. His true position should have been either at the head of the Ministry or in the War Department. His holding any other office led to the belief that he had relinquished his ancient and well-known policy—a policy at which despotismtrembled — and that he had been converted to Germanism, to that very Gerinanism that led to his unwarrant able expulsion from the Government on a previous occasion. Under, such circumstances his presence in the Cabinet did more harm than good—inasmuch as it proved that his foreign policy was no l onger i n th e ascen d an t, which e ig n was-oili ce testified Lifted by his absence from , the F r and still more by the fact that as a member of the Ministry, albeit in a totally different department, he could not bring his powers to bear against any erroneous proceedings, or join in the attacks to which his colleagues might expose themselves. Thus not only were his exertions neutralised, but they were rendered positively mischievous I But what might have saved the country from all the an no y ance, ex pense, and inconv en i- Winhat wo uld have preventedthe first instance, will nenotee'noiwf sandffiopcetd .e a fracture will not repair the or br e e v a e c n h . as aFor merly PALMERSTON as Premier , Minister , would have saved the Coalition. But COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, FEB. 5. The Queen and Prince walked in the grounds adjoin ing the Castle this morning. Lieut.-General Sir De Lacy Evans has been invited, and is expected this afternoon. Lord Alfred Paget has succeeded Major-General the Hon. Charles Grey as Equerry in Waiting to her Ma jesty. Despatches for the Governors of South and West Australia were sent yesterday from the Colonial•office. Despatches were received yesterday from the Governor of Gibraltar. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat yes terday, and resumed the hearing of -an appeal from Bengal, " Baboo Bhugwan Doss v. Leechmeenuth Rao Kalleea." The lords present were the Lords Justices Knight Bruce and Turner, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall, and Sir E. Ryan. Admiral Dundas, whose arrival at Berlin was an• nonnced in the local paper as "General of the fleet," is not to be coifoundod with his namesake Vice• Admiral Dean Dundas, late Commander-in-Chief in the Black Sea, who has arrived in England. THE ELM, OF CALEDON.—We are gratified in being able to state that Lord Caledon is much better this week. Lord and Lady Monteagle have arrived in Park-street, from Headingley House, Yorkshire. Lady John Russell's sister, Lady Charlotte Elliot, continues in a precarious state of health at the Hotel Bristol, at Paris. General Cannon (Behram Pasha) has arrived at Mor ley's Hotel, from the Crimea. Sir James Graham is suffering from a painful disease, which has rendered a surgical operation necessary. The operation was successfully performed by Sir Benjamin Brodie, and it is hoped that the right hon. baronet will soon be convalescent. THE FALL OP THE ABERDEEN MINISTRY.—On Thurs day evening (says the Sligo Journal) tar-barrels were lighted 9n the Green Fort, and a large number of per sons assembled to express their satisfaction at the resigna tion of the Earl of Aberdeen. General tie Brigade Puuiet de Montfort, of the reserve, has just died at Paris at an advanced ago. ADMIRAL DIINDAS.—The latelCommander-in-Chief in the Black Sea, Vice-Admiral Deans Dundas, C. 8., left Paris yesterday morning, and arrived at Dover in the new French. and English mail steam-packet Queen in one hour and a half. Admiral Dundas remained at Bir mingham's Ship Hotel last night, and comes to London this day. Sir Humphery and Lady De Trafford ar rived at Dover from Calais yesterday, and are staying at Birmingham's Ship Hotel. Tas RADNORSEIIRB BOROUGHS. Mr. Baskerville Mynors, who was solicited to offer himself for the repre sentation of these boroughs, has declined coming forward on the present occasion. Invitations have since been addressed to Mr. Percy Severne, of Penybont, and Mr. De Winton, of Maeslough Castle, both Conservatives. A meeting of the borough of Rhayader has been held for the purpose of inviting Sir G. C. Lewis to offer him self for the future representation of the Radnorshire boroughs. THE GREEN MAN, BARNET.—This celebrated inn and posting house, which has existed for nearly a century, is now entirely closed, and the furniture, horses, and farming stock of the late proprietor (Mr. Jas. Buckell), were sold by auction, by Messrs. Page and Cameron, on the 17th or 18th inst. The Grand Stand used at the annual races held here formed a prominent feature in the sale. The house must be well known to all persons who formerly travelled northwards from London, as it stands at the angle formed by the junction of the new road to St. Alban's and the great north or Hatfield road. Some idea of the business formerly done at the Green Man will be conceived when we state that on three suc cessive days in 1808 nearly 160/. was taken for posting and baits in the yard, and on a given day in 1828 56 pairs of horses left the stables. Upwards of 100 coaches at that time ran through Barnet, and it is computed that quite a third of them changed horses at this house. —Herts County Press. SPECIAL PRIZEE.—The council of the Society of Arts bas just issued an addition to the general premium li,t published during the recess, from which it appears that Mr. Oliveira, M.P., has placed at its disposal two gold medals, of the value of 251. each, or money to the same amount, for special premiums. These the council has determined to award-1. For the best and finest flax thread spun by machinery, suitable for lace making. 2. For the best essay on the means of preventing the nuisance of smoke. Mr. S. M. Kubert, through the society, has offered 5/. for a composition for the feeding rollers used in printing paper -hangings by cylinder ma chinery, to which the council has added the society's medal. But equal in importance to either of these is the offer of the society's medal for a school microscope to be sold to the public at a price not exceeding 10s. 6d., and also for a teacher's or student's microscope at a price not exceeding 3/. 3s. At the Society's Educational Exhi bition last summer this step was strongly advocated. as it was felt that the cultivation of habits of observation was a matter of essential importance in education, and one which had hitherto received too little attention. Nothing, it was thought, would tend to produce this result in a more satisfactory and agreeable manner than a cheap, • but good microscope. By. way of giving a stimulus to the sale, the council undertakes to purchase 100 of the smaller, and 50 of the larger instrument, a plan which was so successful in the instances of the society's shilling box of water colours and half-crown case of drawing instruments. THE WEATHER AT LENDS. —An agreeable change has taken place in the weather in this neighbourhood during the past week, and instead of a mild changeable atmo sphere we have had sharp dry fi osts, accompanied with slight falls of snow. The thermometer in the town has been as low as 19, and has ranged from that to 38, though there is no doubt that in the outskirts of the town it has been muchilower. The ponds and reservoirs in the neighbourhood are frozen over, and the lovers of skating, curling, and other amusements of that class have had ample opportunities to indulge in them. On Friday a curling match, we understand, was played on the ice, at the Royal Gardens, between several gentlemen of Leeds and Bradford. The change in the weather has been general throughout the country, and in some in stances the mails have been delayed, but to no serious extent. THE PRINCIPALITIES. Sadyk Pacha, Commander of the Cossacks in the service of the Sultan, and of the advanced guard of the Ottoman array, has issued a proclamation to the Moldavia„ 3 and Wallachians, in which, after announcing that political and military arrangements require him to go elsewhere, he con gratulates them on the noble manner in which they have discharged their duties to the Sultan, and shown their affection for his army, and exhorts thorn to persevere in the same line of conduct. Ho a dds that the Sultan will never cease to watch ovor their prosperity. RUSSIA. The Augsburg Gazette says :—" Some jour . nals of the Russian party assert that the total force of the Russian army, consisting of the armies of General de Borg, Grappe, Siewers, Paskiewitch, Gortscha koff, Menschikoff, and Muriaweff, amounts to 605,000 men, and that in less than six months a reserve of 200,000 mon will be organised. But it is known also that all the soldiers, thus set down on paper, are scattered about from the Baltic to the Caucasus, and that it would be very difficult to unite theta for a great offensive operation. To this army of Russia, Austria can oppose one which is scarcely less formidable. Her first corps d'armoe consists of 67,600 men and 144 guns ; her second of 121,000 men and 186 guns ; her third of 286,000 men and 252 guns ; her fourth of 119,400 man and 104 guns ; in all 594,000 men and 686 guns. Her reserve in two months could be raised to 200,000 men, by com prising the frontier regiments." It has been stated by telegraph that a ukase for a new issue of paper money wa-; published at St. Petersburg on the 27th ult. The following is the preamble of the document " Not withstanding our constant and sincere efforts to put an end to the war into which Russia has been drawn, because she defends her rights and her territory, that war may be prolonged and may occasion extraordinary expenses, which are not in proportion to the ordinary expenses of the public treasury. In consequence, we have thought it right, in order to render it possible for the public treasury to provide for all actual wants with out establishing new charges, and without increasing those which exist, and in accordance with the proposal of the Minister of Finance on which the Council of the Empire has expressed its opinion, to grant to the State Bank the power of providing for the anticipated extra ordinary expenses by a temporary issue of State bills." The enactments of the ukase are then given—one being to the effect that each issue shall comprise an amount of paper money six times groator than the sum in specie deposited as an equivalent in what is called the Credit Fund ; that is for an issue of 12,000,000 roubles in paper, 2,000,000 roubles in specie are to be deposited. The paper issued is, it is declared, to be withdrawn from circulation three years after the conclusion of peace, or sooner, if possible. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Feb. 2.—There are various interesting facts and on dits to be communicated to-day, but bofore this is done, a semi-official article on the sea - et despatch of the 14th January must be laid before your readers. It is in the Ministerial OesteriveichischeCorrespondenz, and runs as follows : " A part of the German press gives a signification to the secret .despatch which was sent from the Imperial Royal Foreign -office on the 14th January, against which we must most energetically protest. " It was Austria that again gave vitality to the Ger man Diet; after the greatest exertion, she succeeded in renewing the boss of union between all the Federal States, and it has always been her endeavour to for get, and to cause to be forgotten, the unfortunate events of the years 1848, 1849, and 1850, which were principally directed against the ancient and venerable union between Germany and Austria. It was the aim of Austria to give the Federal Diet an opportunity of accomplishing its high and important duty which is to maintain the interests of Germany. It is so notorious that it has always been the aim of the Imperial Royal Cabinet to support the Bund, and to care for its dignity, that no person of discernment can possibly believe that Austria entertains any idea of attacking the Federal Constitution. Far from this being the case, the above mentioned despatch of the 14th bases its conditional proposition on paragraphs contained in the fundamental laws of the Bund, which expressly provide that a minority of the Federal States can propose and agree to further measures for securing the Confederation and its mem bers than those resolved on by a majority. (See Article 42 of the Vienna Final Act of 1820.) 4 • It would be strange logic to declare him an open or a secret opponent of a cause who was willing to do more is support of aat common cause thin lie was strictly bound to perfori.i. Such logic howev, r ; not calculated to surprise those who for months have seen the inten tions of Austria sy tematically exposed to suspicion, be cause she made extraordinary sacrifices for Germany, and raised mighty armies. "Those federal German Governmenti, which know how to appreciate the consistents efforts of Austria to maintain the dignity and security of Germany during the present threatening stato of things in Europe, will, we feel convinced, energetically refuse to listen to such imputations. They will see in the efforts of the Impe rial Royal Cabinet, as well in the Diet as with the Federal Allies, a now proof of the care of the first of the Federal States for the future welfare and the inte rests of Germany. We trust that this care will not have been in vain, and that those who take advantage of every European crisis to represent the Bund as power less and devoid of ener,,sy will be put to shame." Yesterday, at 1 o'clock, M. de Bourqueney had a private audience of his Majesty, during which he is said to have presented a.n autograph letter from the Emperor Louis Napoleon. According to an on, dit, Count Bille-Brahe, the Danish Minister, yester day had a conference with Count .6uol, in the course of which he announced that Deinuark purposed giving its adhesion to the Anglo-French treaty of April 10. To render the tale more complete, it is added that the aavaland military power of Denmark will soon be made mobile. The iremden Blatt learns that a special commissioner, who has not yet been appointed, will be sent here by the Porte and if the Powers are likely to come to an understanding such will be the case. It is probable that the , choice of the Turkish Cabinet will fall on Ali Pasha, who was formerly Minister in England, and is now at the head. of the Foreign Department. The whole of the .Austrian army has received orders to be prepared t o march. PRUSSIA. - - BERLIN, Feb. 3.—The P,••eussiche Correspond4nz ear— ., It has been almost with one' voice stated in the organs of the press that the GovernOent of the Emperor of the French had demanded to be allowed to march French troops to Poland through R,,nissian territory, and that the Prussian Government had r •viused this per mission. It certainly is a very correct _ceseling which prompted the press to designate the com}..*aneo with such a demand on the part of the Prussian Go,v ornment as out of the question and impossible. We c. ‘l2r how ever, give the assurance that, as yet, no demand of this nature has been in any way expressed by the Fi'ehach Government." PIEDMONT. - _ A letter from Turin, of the Ist, in the Constitra ttonnel, says :—" The monitory of Pius IX. has just arrived, and nothing but this grave event is talked of everywhere.
