BERLIN, MARCH 24.—The letter from Berlin, in your
number of March 5, which has been so much talked of; has
excited an unpleasant sensation here, which has been in-
creased by the circumstance that Frenct and English
journals have taken up the expressions contained as repre-
senting the sentiments entertained in high quarters.
The endeavours of some writers here to represent
the Measures adopted by the protecting Powers with re-
spect to the fugitives in Cracow, as a general political de-
monstration, intended as an answer to certain insinuations
of differences in the policy of the Northern Powers, are
founded on a partial view of the subject. Journalists and
party leaders have discussed and interpreted these ques-
tions for all purposes, and though some circumstances may
show the possibility, or even the probability, of such con-
flicts, the policy of Europe we say may be certain that the
Cabinets see these matters in a very different point of view,
and that the circumstances that seem of a nature to cause
differences and embarrassments (among which we reckon
the tone of the English Ministerial Journals and the pub-
lication of the " Portfolio," the documents in which were
previously in the hands of eminent members of the English
GoVernment), are designedly put. forward into the fore-
ground by the wishes and illusions of individuals, and by
wide spread exertions of parties. We say this with the
more confidence, as the events, and above all the docu-
ments of the most recent times, prove how isolated uneasi-
ness and very inconvenient differences have been removed,
in consequence of comprehensive views and profound poli-
tical insight, and the more as all disagreements and con-
fusion can bring profit to none but innovators and destruc-
:*

tires.
We shall certainly come nearer to the truth, if we as-
sume that the occupation of Cracow is no manifestation
whatever of a system opposed to Prance and England, but.
arose from a purely local cause, originating in the territo-
rial situation of the Three Powers, whose interests happeu
here to be the same .The spirit of the Austrian and Prus-
sian Cabinets certainly does not tend to send fathers of
families, with their wives and children, to America, by way
of answer to the perfidious expressions of journalists in tha
phrases of Deputies and Members of Parliament. The
measure was executed because plans of conspiracy in Cra-
cow kept up the fermentation in the kingdom of Poland,
threatened Posen and Gallicia, and because the combined
action of the Three Powers with respect to Polish disturb-
ances is fixed by treaties and verbal conferences. We
ought to look with distrust at cvery attempt t) represent a
local measure as a demonstration of general sentiments.
That the French press considers such articles as half offi-
cial, because your paper is subject to the censorship, proves
on the one hand how ill people in Paris are informed res-
pecting the sentiments entertained at Berlin ; and on the
other hand, how even the Debals does not disdain to in-
finne the minds of its readers on every oceasiou.---I
