From the Berlin papers, it seems certain that
there will be an interview, between the Royal
Families of Russia and Prussia, but that il has

Ferdinand, the presumptive heir TO the Crown
Of Aus ria, has just been raised to the dignity OF
Al,er Ego Lieu:enaut of the EMPEROR in con-
sequence Of his reconciliation with Prince Met
,ernich, whose views he has always opposed.

Prime Minister has consented TO modify his
system however, there is every reason 10 be-
lieve it, five may Judge by what the Arch
duke has hitherto shown to BE- his character.

speeding the character of Prince Ferdinand"
say GUY letters, tive must say that people are
fond OF comparing him 10 he Emperor Joseph
III. Endowed with much undersl anding and ta-
lent, remaining unmarried through Inclination,
reserve and firm in his resolutions, il is prob
able, in he opinion Of those who have had OPP
2or,uni,ies Of becoming acquainted with him,
that he will gradually effect change in the
odious system which Expresses US since the
death of the Sovereign whom he is said 50

will a, length be perceived in this country that

in spite Of tyranuical Censorship. and The et-
foris Of our Prime Minister"
