PRUSSIA.

The Foal Ampf Ga:ette of Frankfort states that
obstacles have lately arisen which retard the conclu-
sion of a separate treaty between Prussia and the
Western Powers. It is even hoped among the Rus-
sian party, it states, that the negotiations will com-
pletely fail; and the German Journal of Frankfort
says that negotiations between the cabinet of Berlin
and those of Paris and London are still pending, and
the counter project recently proposed by Prussia is
under discussion. The Prussian cabinet insists on
retaining the liberty of acceding or not to the inter-
pretation of the conditions of peace, and of judging of
a cams belli; it will not place itself in a position to
be ruled by a decision of the majority.

Paskiewitch has returned to Wa•

saw.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 19th ult., states
that the sick and wounded of the Russian army of
the Crimea have become too numerous for the hospi•
tale of Simpheropol and Baktchi Serai, and it has been
found necessary to place 1,520 of them in the colonies
of Morotchono and Ekaterinoelaw.

A letter from Warsaw states that the manifesto of
the Czar calling out the militia is not to apply to
Poland, nor to the provinces which formerly formed
part of that kingdom. Consequently the levy in
question is not to take place in the countries on the
Austrian frontier, Volhynia, or Podolia.—Daily News.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienne, of the 24th, ease:

The report which was current some days ago of mug.-
vernment intending to contract a new loan in England by,
since the day before yesterday, revived so generally that the
public begins to believe its reality. The scarcity of many
in commercial affairs here puts the government ander the
necessity of having recourse to a new financial operation
which will cause cash to flow towards our capital. The
scarcity is such that the exchange has, within the last few
days, risen to 29 per cent., and it is feared that it will Bilotti,
reach as high as it wan during the disturbed days of the rs.
volution of 1848 49. It may be readily conceived that the
mobilisation of all our military forces and their mail:teems
en a war footing occasions such considerable expenses that
the ordinary receipts of our taxes and of the public revisal
cannot suffice for them, and no astonishment need thenfom
be felt, if, instead of loading the country with fresh tars,
the government should prefer having recourse to a loan in
England, or, in case of need, in any other financial country
in Europe.—Daily News.

THE CZAR'S DEATH AND ITS CONSE-
QUENCES.

NICOLAS PAULOVITCIC is dead; but the Emperor
of RUSSIA lives still. Boundless as was the ambition
of the late EMPEROR, and relentless as was his will
be was less formidable as an individual, than as a pert
of the Muscovite system of government. Though hs
has gone to his sooount, the spirits of PETER THE
GREAT and CATHERINE U. continue to animate the
Cabinet of St. Petersburg. The Muscovite party—
headed by MENTCHIXOPP, SINIAVIN, and the PAM"
ARCH of Moscow—which overpowered the remon-
strances of NESSELEADE, and goaded on the Da
himself to his aggressions on Turkey, survives with
undiminished strength and unaltered principles. The
death of the Sovereign cannot but give a mom&
tary pause to the operations of the Russian
Government. The Muscovite and German pubes
may possibly try their strengths in a preliminerl
struggle to decide who is to be Emperor. CON-
gremlin, the second son, is the favourite of the
former ; ALEXANDER, the eldest, of the latter. From
what is known of the feelings and wishes
at
Nicous, it is very unlikely that he will be found
to have nominated, like his predecessor, the younger
[brother heir to the Crown, in preference to the
elder. But in Russia a preponderating party would
Sot shrink from the fabrication of spurious don-
seats; and the milder ALEXANDER may be obliged
to make way for the engrained Russian CONSTAN-
TINE. Until it is known for certain who is Emperor
of Russia, and by what councillors he is surrounded,
it would be rash in the Western Powers to sauna
that there will be any immediate change le their
relations to Russia. On the contrary, the doubt find
hesitation which the death of Nicous cannot but
instil into the councils of the Russian generale in the

-Ai

Crimea will present a favourable opportunity for a
home blow at the Meecovite power in that peninsula.
The balance of parties in Russia is understood to
be somewhat u follows :—There is among its influ-
ential N:atesmea what is called the German party, of
which Count NEISELRODE may be considered the
