PRUSSIA.

The Berlin Zeit, the usual organ of the Prussian
Cabinet, thus appreciates the admission of Prussia
to the conferences :

"The President of. the Council of Ministers, Baron
von Manteuffel, has arrived at Paris. The King could
not have trusted the honour. and interests of Prussia to
more able or more trustworthy hands, in so far as they
are to be maintained at the Conferences. We are assured
that Count Walewskes note, which made known the
decision of the Conference to invite Prussia, confiden-
tially expressed the wish of tho Western Powers that
Prussia might be represented by the President of the
Council. This was at the same time an honourable
homage to the head of our Cabinet and a guarantee
that the confidence he enjoys here as well as at Paris
will powerfully contribute to the success of the combined
efforts. If we are rightly informed, it was France that
warmly insisted that Prussia should be admitted to the
conferences. England, if we are to trust Lord Palmer-
ston's recent declaration, does not appear to have looked
upon the admission with.. so much satisfaction. Ig-
u ,rant of the cause of the he entertains against
Prussia, we shall not reproach the English Minister
for his opposition: We shall simply take note of the
avowal which escaped the noble lord when he said .that
it was always in the highest -interest for England to
,naintaln intimate and friendly relations with PruSsia.
On the strength of this avowal we publish the manner
inure than cold with which the noble lord communicated
o Parliament, the invitation which the Conference had
just addressed to Prussia. We shall also pass over in
silence what Lord Palmerston said, or caused to be said,
in his organ relative. to the object and bearing of the ac-
cession of Prussia. In announcivg the reception of Count
Witlewski's note we do not • hesitate to recognise that
he belligerent Powers had already drawn up the
mses of the treaty about to be concluded at Paris,
ind that all that remained to be dope was to erect
ipon those firm bases a durable peace, and to
oorne to an understanqing upon certain paints upon
which there was still a difference of opinion. If
Prussia had seen in this late invitation an insult to her
lonour, she would have continued to abstain from the

.eizotiationß'upon v/Lich the never fore, d her participa.
ion. But.the honour-vf Prussia has not received any
iosult., From the ou.set Prussia declared that the
Slick Sea and the Asiatic coast were of too distant an
mterest -for her to aSsume thereon obligations whioh
otight have dragged her into war. Prussia cannot rea-
sonably frel burttkliat parties who waged war precisely
on account of the Black Sea and of the position of
Russia in the East should' have commenced by corn-
ing_ to an understanding between theniselves on their
claims env! conceBAons, before touching upon the
revision of former treaties and upon. the- establish-
,nent of new political conventions. Now, it is this
revision of European treaties which makes it Prus.
;La's duly, as well as her right, to co-operate there-
Her right is admii;ted by the invitation just ad
Tressed to her, and she has accomplished her duty by
pending Baron von Mant,iuffel to Paris. This is the iii-
N-rpretation which must be given to the allusions made
by the English Minister in the British Parliament rela-
tive to the bearing and obj-ct of the mission of Prussia.
We confidently hope that the joint action of the pleni-
potentiaries assembled at Paris will contribute to settle
other differences."

The Swabian Mercury says that some Austrian
capitalists propose to take advantage of the right
recently accorded to Europeans of acquiring real
property in Turkey by forming a company for pur-
chasing vast tracts of land in the European pro-
vinces, and especially in Roumelia, through which
the railway from Constantinople to! Belgrade is to
paiw.
The Swabian Mercury announces that the .cus-
toms' conference has fixed its next meeting for the
2d of June, at Eisenach.
