Tur Pos,rIoN OF THE GERMAN POWERS
AND THE OPERATIoNs OF THE RUSSIANS ON
THE DANuBr-The chief interest in the present
situation of affairs abroad is divided between
two subjects of equal Importance to the gen.
eral interests of Europe and to the conduct Of
the war--the one is the policy of the German
powers, SO far as it can be ascertained from the
information transmitted to us from Berlin, and
the other the position now assumed by the Rus
sian army on the right bank of the Danube.
To these subjects we shall successfully direct
our attention.
The aspect Of affairs in Germany, and even
at the court of Prussia, is somewhat more ia
vorable to the expectations OF the western pow
ers and the general interests OF Europe. The
committee OF the Chamber to which the de-
mand of the Prussian government for loan
of thirty millions of dollars had been referred,
agrees to report unanimously in favor OF the
vote but the resolution adopted by the com
miitee expressly states that, TO meet the immi-
nent danger of war, the Chamber cannot re-
fuse to vote the supplies required to defend the
honor and independence of the country, mas.
much as the Kings government has declared
"that it intends to persevere for the future in
the course Of policy followed up to this time, in
conjunction with the cabinets of Vienna, Paris,
