had given notice, and which excited great interest
in the country: ITO call the attention Of Parlla-

apoogist of Prussia 1t was melancholy to see
State, entitled by position population and intelli-
genee, to take her place among the great powers Of
Europe, voluntarily descending from that rank by
course OF policy contrary to the true interests of the
nation, and which might be characterised as neither
European, German nor Prussian
Still, however eccentric her course might be. he
yet entertained hopes that she would not persist in
trampling the feelings of her subjects but that
she would at last awaken to the remembrance that
she is great power, and that she would throw in
her lot with the rest Of civilized Europe At present
Prussia was in an isolated and false position, and
therefore powerless From this position it was the
| wish of England, France and Austria, that she
should be delivered. Nopains should be sparedby
Britain to attain this result by friendly advances,
made with every regard TO the honor and dignity
of Prussia as great and Independent power
| HUNGARY AND PoLAND-In the House of Com
mons Lord w. Graham asked the government
whether the Austrian Ambassador had called for
explanation of words said to have been used by Sir
| Robert Peel, member of the present administra-
ton, that mo settlement Of the Eastern question
would be satisfactory unless Hungary and Poland
were restored"
Lord Pamerston-Sir, in regard to that member
Of the administration 10 whom the noble lord refers,
shall merely say it has afforded me great satisfac
ton that that noble friend of mine has accepted of
ice under the crown cheers that had most
confident expectation that his great natural abli-
| ties, and the remarkable energy of his character
will render him an honor to the public service and
enable him 10 do honor to the memory Of his illus.
trious father. (Cheers)
Sir the question of the noble lcrd rather refers to
the policy of her Msjesty's government OF that
| am prepared to give him the fullest explanation
| The Austrian government know, and have long
known, that the government of Great Brita would
consider it great misfortune to the world if Hun
gary were separated from the Austrian empire be-
cause | consider the Austrian Empire, as an ag
| gregate body in the centre of Europe 10 be an
| essential element IN the balance Of power in En-
| rope.
The Austrian government, therefore, have no
doubt as to what the policy and views of her maes-
tvs government are in regard to Austria With re-
gard to Poland "a pause and laughter) regard
| to Poland. have no hesitation in stating nv own
opinion, that the kingdom of Poland, as at present
constituted and as at present occupied is stand
ing menace to Germany.
1t is for the powers of Germany to determine how
far they may think the constitution of Poland is or
| &c rntH m md thar, To-
cumstances which may lead them into war with
Russia, they would think it for their interest to en-

! doubtedly no stipulation in regard to q new ar
rangement of Poland forms part of those points

basis of the four points, which are well known to
| everybody.
| The two powers have reserved to themselves the
right according to circumstance, and accordngto the
| events Of the war; If hostilities should continue
either by prolongation or break in the negotia-
TONS they have reserved TO themselves the right of
adding in future to those four points any other slip
uations they think necessary for the future secur-
ty Of Europe. But at present, negotiations are 60
ing on on those four points. That is the policy of
her Msiesty's government with regard to Hungary
and with regard to Poland
Lord w. Graham said the noble lord had not an
swered the question.
Lord Palmerston-I have stated that the Aus
TRAN ambassador is perfectly cognzant of the poll
cy and intentions Of her Mejcsty's government
and there has not been any secret or reserve about
it.
