In expressing our unfeigned qualification at the
passage by the Senate Of the Texas Boundary and
California bills, as measures which we consider
highly auspicous to the public peace and order, we
trust we shall not be understood as casting any thing
like general censure on the respectable minorities
Of the Senate upon these questions. We have too
much personal respect for them, to think Of imput
ing to them, in regard to their votes these ques-
tons, any other impulse than sense Of duty. 1t
is known to every one, that several of these gentle
men considered themselves under the obligation of
Legislative instructions to vote as they have done.
Some, moreover, who voted in the negative upon
these bills, are not uery much opposed to them, and
more than one Of them, probably, might have been
induced to vote for one or for both Of them, had
their votes been required to their passage.

The Austro-Prussian question has again UNDER

q proposition to the several States of Germany for

proposal to be discussed in free assembly. PRus-

Prussia enter into the discussion of new interim
Government.
Although peace has been concluded between Den
mark and Prussia in relation to the Duchies, it is
more than probable that before this date war has
commenced between Denmark and the Duchies.
The question is very complicated one. We un-
derstand it to be as follows:
The treaty now agreed upon declares Holstein to
be inseparable from Denmark in this decision
England, France, and Russia agree, but Austria and
Prussia and Germany generally dissent from it.
The people Of the Duchies are also averse to being
made an hereditary dependency on Denmark and
are prepared and resolved to resist to the utmost
any attempts Of Denmark to take possession Of their
country. They have established provisional Gov
ernment to manage their affairs. The army Of the
Duchies now numbers seventy thousand men,.
RUSSIA appears to have much yet to do in CIR
cAssIA. The Mountaineers, under the command
Of their heroic chief SHAMn BEy, have crossed the
Tartar frontier, and attacked the Russian army
under General Dolgoroucky, defeating il with great
loss, including General, 10 officers, guns, and
nearly all the ammunition and baggage. The RUS
sian army was completely routed. All Crcassia
is again in arms.
