LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 18, 1835.

The conclusion of the " Memoir on the State and
Prospect of Germany, drawn up under the direction of a
Minister of St. Petersburg, and confidently communi-
cated to several of the German Governments," is given
in the third Number of the Portfolio, published by
RIDG wA Y. The readers of The Sun will not have for-
gotten that when the first part of this State document
appeared, we made some passing observations upon it;
but as we had some doubts of its authenticity, we
declined entering minutely into the subject. Since
then we have made the necessary inquiries, and can
now assert on high and unquestionable authority,
that the publication alluded to is a faithful trans-
lation of the state-paper, officially transmitted by
the Russian Cabinet to such of the German
Princes as the AUTOCRAT deemed worthy of his
Imperial confidence. When delivered, it was accom-
panied by an injunction that its contents should, under
DO circumstances whatever, be communicated to Prussia
or Austria. Notwithstanding this precaution on the
part of the Cabinet of St. Peterburgh, and the ter-
ror of the German Princes lest by some indiscretion
on the part of their Ministers, they might be exposed
to the vengeance of the Czar; incurred by a breach of
an unsolicited confidence—a copy of the Memoir reached
Berlin, and from thence found its way to London.
By what means, and through what channel, this was
accomplished, is of no public importance ; neither are
we at liberty to state more than that such is the fact.
This Memoir bears internal evidence that it was drawn
up, and communicated to the German Governments
early in 1832 ; so that Prussia had no sooner promul-
gated the'project of a Commercial League, than the
Nero. of the North devised a scheme by which that
league might be converted into an engine for the de-
struction of the external influence of Austria, England,
and France. The plot was deeply laid, and would
hardly have miscarried had not .the secret of it oozed
out before events were ripe for an explosion. At the
very instant that Russia was giving her sanction to the
commercial union—at the moment in which she was
endeavouring to weaken the attachment of the Ger-
man Diet to the Imperial Throne of Austria, by im-
pressing it with ideas of the wise policy, great power,

and growing prosperity of Prussia—was she whisper-
ing doubts of Prussian good faith in the cars of such
members as she supposed too timid or too dishonest
to betray her confidence. What was the purport of
her language to the Diet ? It was this :—You
are a powerful Confederation of wise and illustrious
Princes. You are too potent to remain the tributa-
ries, or to require the protection, of Austria or Prussia.
My wish is that you should combine together, and de-
clare yourselves an independent State. And now mark
the consequence.
.In the first place you will excite
the jealousy of both Austria and Prussia; and both
will mutually assist each other in encroaching upon
your territory. Against one of them you might be able
to defend yourselves ; but to resist the united power of
both would be morally impossible. Where, then, will
you look for external succour ? • There are three great
Powers to whom you might apply for protection—
France, England, and Russia. Now, you cannot ad-
dress yourselves to France, because the KING, Ca-
binet, and People, are a mere horde of faithless-
Revolutionists, whose protection of you would con-
sist in forcing you to abdicate your Thrones.
What France did from 1804 to 1810, France
would do again in 1835, or later, if she had an op-
portunity. You know her to be faithless, you know
her to be revolutionary—you yourselves are wise, and
therefore you cannot appeal to her. Now, England,
though not so bad as France, is very little better. The
Whigs have ruined her by their liberalism ; nor have
they the confidence_of the country, even were they to
adopt your views. The Tories are well disposed, but
they are now a discomfited faction, and therefore
utterly powerless. A Prince of the House of Bruns-
wick would doubtless protect you were he capable of
so doing ; but you sec yourselves that England cannot
move in consequence of the load of debt that oppresses
her; and even if she could, yet being a maritime
Power, she could not co-operate with you- on every
occasion. Whom then have you to look to as a
faithful and potent friend and ally in distress ? The
answer is obvious enough ; but lest you should mis-
take it I shall tell you in the plainest terms. You
have me—Russia—ever willing to maintain your prin-
ciples, and always able to assert your just rights. You
can have no fears that I will open the sluices of re-
volutionary zeal, and inundate you with the polluted
levelling stream of public opinion. I am, like your-
selves, the champion of the Divine right of all Rulers,
to rule according to the dictates of their own sovereign
will. And as to other . advantages,- it is impos-
sible that you could know so little of me as to sus-
pect that I seek any. The libelling Liberal Press
may say what it pleases with respect to Poland
but it is right that you should know that the
Poles sought my protection—that I extend to them
all the liberty enjoyed by the Russians themselves.
Moreover, you should bear in mind that the abolition
of Polish nationality was necessary to your protection
as absolute Governments. Had Poland stobd, you
must have fallen. Thus I protected you when you
were unacquainted with my sympathy for you ; judge
then whether I shall fail to succour you, when you are
driven to seek my assistance.
Such, in plain language, is the entire purport of the
Russian address to the German States. But the dis-
covery of it will be fatal to the policy of the CZAR.
Prussia now sees her danger ; Austria begins to per-
ceive her position, in the event of Russia's scheme be-
ing successful ; and the consequence is,. that Prussia
invites the whole of Western Europe to join the Com-
mercial League. By this means the encroachmentz of
Russia may be laughed at by Western Europe.

The whole of the Paris Journals of Wednesday
tare been received. They are unimportant, with the
exception of the following extracts :

PARIS, DEC. 16.—The siege of St., Sebastian was raised
on the oth, in consequence of the movements of the
Queen's troops, which alarmed General Eguia. Since the
last accounts, the Carlists, to the number of 18,000,
occupy the line from Arroniz to Estella, and from that town
to Maneru, the battalions of Guipuscoa, Castilic and
Alava, were posted from Lecumberri to St. Sebastian.
On the all, the Queen's army occupied the towns of
Puente la Reyna, Larraga, and Lerin ; its force at those
points is estimated at 16,000 men, 1,200 horses, and a com-
plete train of artillery.
A letter from Saragossa states, that Quilez Cabrera, and
Le Gcrrador, closely pursued by the columns of Generals
Palarca- and Nagares, haVe been forced to the province of
Valencia, where they will be met by the militia. More
operations are combined with those of Arragon.
Several Journals give this morninc, the following letter,
dated Barcelona, Dec. 8:—" General Mina, passing
through Esparraguina, caused more birds of ill omen to be
arrested. This expression, used by the Vapor of the Bth,
is meant to designate- some members of a Carlist junta,
among whom arc priests, who have been shot by order of
the Captain-General. Mina's object seems to be intimida-
tion, by which he hopes to produce a happy effect on the
conduct of his troops. Thus at Manresa, ha .caused an
officer, subaltern, and two volunteers, to be shot, who bad
basely surrendered their arms to the enemy. These acts of
rigour announce to the soldiers that there is no more pardon
for deserters than for the enemy. Several Carlist officers
were shot, after a pretty smart action which took place near
Gasaca, between Colonel Niwbo, and the Carlist band
commanded by Vidal de Mora. Seventy-six Carlists were
killed in this action."

Almost all the Deputies have arrived at Paris ; 379 have
sent their addresses to the Questors.—Messager, Dec. 16.

The Sun of yesterday contained an article from
Berlin, dated the .6th inst., to the effect that the Czar
of MUSCOVY is about to make a diligent inquiry to
discover the person or persoris who took notes of his
speech to the Municipality at Warsaw, and afterwards
communicated their contents to the French journals.
It is very possible—nay; probable—that the inha-
bitants of Warsaw will pay dearly for this publicity of
the will of the Autocrat, unless the person or persons
privy to the reporting of the speech openly declare
all the particulars and purposes of its accomplishment.
The blame, we observe by this article, is generally
attributed to M. DURAND, the French Consul at
Warsaw. This gentleman was no advocate of Polish
independence, and if rumour is worth anything,
Russian gold procured from him a denouncement of the
Polish struggle in 1830. Now it may be asked
what object can the EMPEROR have in making
this inquiry, after having given a Petersburgh version
of the speech five times worse than that published first
in the Journal des Debats This question would
puzzle any one not acquainted with the policy of the
Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. Was it because the
EMPEROR did not wish his speech to be reported ?
Not at all : that it should be reported was his most
earnest wish. Was it because the report of the
speech which appeared in the French Papers was
essentially incorrect ? By no means : the Paris ver-
sion was much milder than that which appeared with
the Imperial sanction at St. Petersburgh. Why then
the inquiry ? Simply that M. DURAND, the French
Consul at Warsaw, might, declare himself the reporter
of the speech, and so afford the CZAR a plausible pre-
text for abolishing all the foreign Consulates in every
part of Poland. This is the real object of the Imperial
barbarian's inquiry. He wishes to have no witness
of his paternal tenderness towards his Polish subjects.
Will England submit to this ? Shall we. too obey
an Ukase issued by the NERO of the North—the
blood-stained ferocious butcher who dared to proclaim
to Europe the non-existence of Poland as a nation ?

We have received letters from Lisbon of the sth
inst., brought by the packet Pantaloon. Up to that
date nothing worthy of attention had occurred, though
some feelings of discontent prevailed on account. of
the unsettled position of the Ministry, and the poor
