As an illustration of the under current OF
political intrigue Of which the present crisis is
fruitful, the Berlin correspondent of London
paper mentions that the reigning Duke Of SAKE
Cobourg, who formerly was so warm an adher-
ent of the King of Prussia's plan of union Of
German princes, instead of the actual Bund,
now proposes to erect consolidated Thuringian
State by the fusion of the present Saxon Prin-
cipalities. Further, he advocates the re erec-
tion of a Kingdom of Poland, to be put into
possession of the present royal family of Sax
ony. 1t was the mooting of this latter PRO-
position that caused the Duke to abridge his
recent visit to Vienna, the revival of Polish
nationality being peculiarly unwelcome to the
Austrian Cabinet, a circumstance which did not
prevent his making it the subject of an inte-
resting colloquy at the Tuileries.

compendium. Its general tone is, of course
hostile to the Gar, and its bulk is occupied in
