The last news from Europe, relating to Poland,
has left the public mind In state of great excite
mcnt. Fear predominates over hope. The decIa.
ration of Prussia has only removed veil which was
too thin to disguise its wishes. The instinct Of
despotism, giving it credit for talent would have
marked out its course At the same time, no doubt
can exist to the interest of Great Britain and
Franco. Circumstances, local in their nature and
temporary trust, in their character have hithcr
to restrained those powers from any more effectual
interference, than the expression of their good
will. This state of things must soon cease but in
