LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1854.

Dynastic influences have triumphed over every
rational consideration both at Berlin and Athens
—and at this moment the Sovereigns of Greece
and Prussia are equally at the feet of the Northern
AUTOCRAT. The secret of all this is obviously
discoverable in the circumstances of the Royal and
Imperial marriages. The origin of these extra-
ordinary proceedings on the part of OTHO and of
FREDERICK WILLIAM IV. may be comprehended
by any one who takes the trouble to glance at the
august records of the Alinanach de Gotha, that
Talmud, or Koran, or Shaster of the believers in
Legitimacy. There it will be seen how, on the
13th of July, 1817, NICHOLAS espoused CHAP.,
LOTTE, eldest daughter of the late, and there-
fore of course eldest sister of the present, KING of
Prussia=--the bride of the future CZAR paying the
tribute of her entrance into the Russian dynasty
by embracing the Greek religion and assuming
the name of ALEXANDRA-FEODOROWNA. There
again in that wonderful record of alliances brought
about more by intrigue than by affection,
it will be perceived how, on the 22d of
November, 1836, Oruo took to wife
the Princess AMELIA of Oldenburg. In conse-
quence of these two remarkable marriages, the
dynastic influence exercised by the AUTOCRAT, from
St. Petersburg, has proved paramount, both in the
councils of Athens and Berlin, to every prudential
consideration. We have seen how, step by step,
OTHO and AMELIA. have advanced towards an open
rupture with the Western allies of Turkey. Until,
in fact, their complicity with the insurgents of
Epirus and Thessaly has become matter of abso-
lute notoriety. Until their flagitious conduct has
been denounced by her Britannic MAJESTY'S Am-
bassador at Constantinople : and again, and yet
again, by the Leader of the House of Commons,
on addressing himself in reference to the policy
of Greece to the assembled Members of the Impe-
rial Legislature. The mask of duplicity, at first
assumed for a brief interval by the Greek Sove-
reign, we have long since observed, thrown
aside with a sort of suicidal desperation. So that
the British and French Ministers at the Court of
Athens (Mr. WYSE and Baron RourEN) have found
themselves justified in denying the mendacious
falsehoods of M. PAICOS, the Greek Foreign Secre-
tary. So that his Imperial Majesty NAPOLEON
111. has at last deemed it advisable to address
an autographic letter to the insensate ruler of
Greece, enjoining the latter in the strongest terms
beware of the evil consequences which must
befall hita in the event of his breaking with
Prance and En
ra.
gland and adopting the cause of the
Muscovite
Government.
If less
fiagu this indicatidns of hostility
towards the am"
Prussian Monarehoh f Turkey than King OTHo, the
hypocritical in his 13.04311.3een if possible yet more
lei as far as that policy
affects the interests of
the devotion of px,a) • ranee and England. Of
cause of his Im SlCKbrother-in-law
IV, to the
Aerial rttother-in-law, there
have been a succession of
dents in demonstration,
There ln
was
the
inci-
asthe distinct
refusal of the King of PRUSSIA during the course
of last March to sign the con ventiou of the Four
Powers, a refusal which will be very well rem
bered as having been accompanied by the dismiessa-i
from power of the Count POURTALES. Then came
the virtual recall from London of the Chevalier
BUNSMI, so long and honourably known at the
Court of St. James's, in his diplomatic position
there as the Prussian Ambassador. Recently
occurred the expulsion of General BONDI from the
head of the War-office in the Berlin Government.
And lastly, the most daring of all the testimonies
of the King of PRUSSIA'S subservience to the
Northern AUTOCRAT has but just come to
light, in the provisional removal, by FREDERICK
_
ILLIAM • IV., of his own brother, and the
11eir-apparent to the Crown, from his elevated po-
sition as liilitary Governor of the provinces of the
Rhino and Westphalia. This rash proceeding of
the Kin-
-6 towards the Prince of PRUSSIA has alto-
getherea-passed
s
his previously significant conduct
towards General Boxier, towards the Chevalier
Nsirg Bu, and towards the Count POURTALES. It
indicates beyond any dot bt the insensate nature
of the policy upon which the King of PRUSSIA
has at length, we might venture to assert, now
tvowedly determined happily, the intelli-
gence of this removal a the Prince of PRUSSIA
