PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, FEB. 27.
In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
the debate upon the Polish question was resumed.

Baron Vincke cautioned the house not to be led
away by any policy based. upon feeling rather than
upon reason. The re-establishment of Poland would
be dangerous to Prussia. The importance of the
insurrection must not be undervalued. He knew
that General Klapka was upon his way to join the
insurrectionary movement. Baron Vincke then
continued—

"Herr von Bismark regretted yesterday that this
Chamber does not resemble the English House of
Commons. I can only regret that Prussia does not
possess an Upper House like the English House of
Lords, and an English Ministry with a respect for
the representatives of the people. No fear of an
intervention of the Emperor Napoleon need be en-
tertained, The semi-official papers of Par's have
only been ordered to use their present language in
order to divert public attention from the affairs of
Mexico. England will also reflect before taking any
decisive step. The disunion between Austria and
Russia has increased by recent events, but this is
advantageous to Prussia. The alliance between
France and Russia has only been postponed. Upon
the whole, the policy of the Government merits
thanks, but it is contrary both to the interest and
the honour of Prussia that the Russians should be
allowed to pursge the Polish insurgents on to Prus-
sian territory."

Baron Vineke warned the Ministry not to permit
the present dissensions between the House and the
Government to continue, as they were leading to
the ruin of the country. For his own part, neither
he nor his friends had anything to gain by a Minis.
terial crisis. The Parliamentary majority must
sooner or later come to the head of affairs, and the
country must gain wisdom at its own expense.
Herr von Bismark, in reply, said that he had only
to repeat his former statement, that the convention
between Prussia and Russia did not absolutely per-
mit the Russian troops to enter at will upon Prussian
territory. He observed also that the Government
was defied by the Opposition to dissolve the Cham-
ber ; but it preferred that the country should first
learn better of what materials the house was com-
posed.

Herr von Bonin, formerly Chief President of the
Government of Posen, stated that, had he still held
the post of Chief President of that province, he
should not have approved the policy of the Govern-
ment. He considered the Convention injurious to
the interests of Prussia.

The debate was adjourned till to-morrow, after a
stormy discussion, lasting six hours.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna, dated Feb. 24, says :
From St. Petersburg I learn that Prince Gort-
scbakoff no longer enjoys the entire confidence of
his Sovereign. The Emperor suspects that his
Minister for Foreign Affairs often allows his pas-
sions to get the better of his judgment, and he a
short time sir ce gave him to understand that he did
not approve his policy in regard to Roumania, Ser-
via, and Montenegro. My correspondent, who
must neceesarily he aware of what is passing behind
the scenes, says that directly atter the Russo-Prus-
sian Convention had been signed M. von Bismark
voluntarily offered to send a Prussian corps into the
kingdom of Poland. " The Russian Government,"
continues my informant, " thanked the Prussian
Minister President for his friendly proposition, and
at the same time told him that it hoped to be able
to quell the insurrection without foreign assistance."
As Prussia is still bound to Russia by the treaty,
which was concluded at Munchengratz on the fitt,
September, 1833, no new convention was needed; but
M. von Bismark was desirous ioprove to the Emperor
Alexander that there was no service which he lane,
his fellow " Junkers" were not ready and willing to
render him. This Government was also a party to the

treaty of Munchengratz, but about, three years ago
Prince Gortschakoff declared that Austria was re'
leased from the engagements she had entered into
on the Bth of September, 1833. The contents of the
treaty in question were never made public, but I
know that by it Russia, Austria, and Prussia were
bound to uphold the monarchical princir!e end to
make head against revolution wherever it might
show itself. One part of the treaty was that if ever
there should be disturbances in Poland the three
Powers should be obliged to render each other
material as well as moral support. In one of the
clauses it is said that, in case of need, Russia°►
Austrian, and Prussian troops shall co-operate in
the kingdom of Poland, in the Grand Duchy of
Posen, or in Galicia. In foreign papers it has re-
peatedly been asserted that Austria is still bound
by secret ties to Russia and Prussia, but the fore'
going authentic information shows that, in as far es
Poland, is concerned, this Government is a free
agent. As has already been stated, Austria is
bound by military conventions to surrender to the
neighbouring Governments all fugitive conscripts
and deserters.
