LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1855.

Prussia still appears intent on maintaining a
vacillating, or rather a deceptive course of policy.
Her sole aim is to cast dust into the eyes of those
with whom she may be negotiating, by statements
and assurances not only without foundation, but
altogether contrary to the actual facts. Indeed
her duplicity is apparent from the conflicting pro-
fessions made to the different parties. To the
Ministers of the Western Powers she bolds out
the strongest hepes that she is prepared forthwith
to enter into positive engagements--that she will
at length pursue a straightforward and honourable
course ; while to those of Russia the promises are
equally distinct and unequivocal, that, if peace
cannot be restored, a strict neutrality will be
maintained. There must be great mendacity and
equivocation towards one side or the other ;
and, if we consider the antecedents of FRE-
DERICK WILLIAM since the proclamation of
War, we shall be enabled to perceive which
party he wishes to bamboozle. We believe
that Lord JOHN RUSSELL who, while in Paris, had
a prolonged interview with M. Da HATZFELD, the
Prussian Ambassador to France, and at Berlin had
sundry communications with Baron MANTEUFFEL
and the KING himself, found that it was impos-
sible to place the slightest _ reliance on any pro-
mise or assertion emanating from Prussian
sources, and that the more positive the statement
•the greater certainty of its falsehood.
The chief object of FREDERICK WILLIAM is to
obtain admission for his representative to the ap-
proaching conferences at Vienna, without con-
tracting any binding engagements from which he
could not subsequently shuffle out. For this he
is prepared to incur any amount of discredit, to
quibble and equivocate in the most disgraceful
manner. We trust, however, that the represen-
tatives of France and England will remain firm,
and decisively and unequivocally reject the insi-
dious and unwarrantable proposition.
It is not merely as an amende to his wounded
dignity that FREDERICK WILLIAM SO anxiously
desires to participate in the discussions about
to be inaugurated. . He naturally feels the loss
of influence and position arising from this exclu-
sion---and he would gladly avoid the humiliation.
But ha also well knows that it is the natural re-
sultef
Ida
own indecision—and when he made
up his mind to .
tottow a course not merely so in-
glorious,
but so Positively disgraceful, he should
submit Phil°BoPhiclly to the inevitable conse-
quences. Re could not for a moment expect to
retain the prestige and influence which he had
himself deliberately and wantonly sacrificed. His
niost earnest wish, however, is to be enabled to
as he formerly helped his help his nephew, is brother-
is-law to assist Russia, not by boldly and
man-
fully assuming arms in her behalf, but 1,
pro.
ducing confusion and dissension amongst those,
to whose councils he might be admitted. 'We
might condemn the former policy, but it would at
least be straightforward and resolute, while the
latter would be degrading and despicable, more
befitting a quibbling pettifogger than a Monarch
claiming to hold au elevated position in the
comity of nations. We cannot for a moment
deem it possible that the demand can be acceded
to. We should, indeed, entertain a humiliating
estimate of the Ministers and Plenipotentiaries of
France and England to suppose that the one could
propose or the other could consent to negotiate on
sob terms.
