Ministers at Berlin many concurrng evidences of
this tendency of the Prussan Government for all the

anRussian policy The Prince Of Prussia represents
and leads that portion Of public opinion in Prussia which
is opposed to the Russian influence and his retirement
has produced great sensation at Berlin. In his letter
Of resignation his royal hghness declared to the King
says the Gazette of Augsburg that his deepest conyic
tons would not permit him to in the policy adopt
ed at the present time and aid in carrying into
cution He therefore prayed his Majesty permit his
retirement from the military position which he then

revolutionary Governments Of Western Europe The in
stincts and convictions Of these Governments repe al
lance with England and France with England, because
England is constitutional and Free and at the time
eminenty great prosperous and happy and close poll
teal connection with her could hardly exist without in
usng into their populations the idea that there is per-

States WILL under any circumstances likely to grow out
Of the present war; be provoked to join the allies

such strong natural ympathes speak Of course of the
ruling Governments only and from which they expect
such important service.
