§AAIT,

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 1854.

While England and France are making active
preparations for carrying on the war with vigour
—Austria and Prussia are using every exertion
to set on foot a series of fresh negotiations.
France is aboilt to send a powerful body of troops
into the Baltic. England is about to convey
them in her own war transport-ships to their
destination in the Gulf of Finland. Precisely at
which time, diplomatic agents are being despatched
from Berlin here to London, and there to St.
Petersburg. It appears, according to advices
from the Prussian capital to the Bth inst., that
upon the evening of that day the Comte DE
R"siGsm'ax was about to set out with secret
instructions to the Russian metropolis. In-
telligence simultaneously arrives to the effect,
that in all likelihood our own capital is about to be
visited from that same good city of Berlin by an
emissary no less important than a relative of
the
chief of the Prussian
lGovernment, to say
nothing of the mysterious e
Count PAULEN. Colonel Ma rrET Stranger,
mi s e said
to have been entrusted with th:ELso
delicate, and certainly very • suspicious, mission
of conciliating, if possible the opposition which
it is feared at the Court of Charlottenburg
has recently begun to show itself at the Court of
St. James's against the notion of any renewal of
negotiations. Accompanying the rumour of
which sinister mission comes the no less
sinister intimation that the AUTOCRAT would,
in the event of any such renewal being agreed
to at St. James's or the Tuileries, graciously
show himself not averse to a tardy abandonment
of the line of the Sereth, and a withdrawal of his
army within the boundaries of his own territory
of Bessarabia. Now, we would here most
earnestly warn the English public to be watchful
of events at the present very singular and mo-
mentous conjuncture of circumstances. We con-
sider it, to say the least of it, rather provocative
of anxiety, not to add of actual suspicion as to
the designs of Austria, and of Prussia, and of
Russia that exactly at the very juncture when
England and France are preparing in
earnest to carry out vigorous warlike ope-
rations both in the Euxine and in the Baltic
—these specious Lints, innuendoes, and even
distinct suggestions should come weeping over
to Paris and London front the CZAR and through
Germany! Rather suspicious, we say, the coinci-
dence is, all things considered—somewhat sinister
and rather suspicious ! Will this ambidextrous
proceeding on the part of the Prussian Cabinet,
acting as it does on the Part and in behalf of the
Councils of St. Petersburg, be tolerated by the
French and British Governments ?
induce ourselves to believe soWe cannot
notwithstanding all
that has occurred hitherto, and altilough the Earl
of ABZILDEEN, the "forty-years' friend"
of
the Em-
peror Nicuous, still unhappily remains at the head
