expected to offer the Allies another battle near

Private letters state that the loss of the Rus.

The Russian paper .Nord says that the loss was
only SO killed, and that 900 guns still remain
in position, and that the batteries are. still
wholly uninjured.
: The Berlin correspondent Of the Augsburg
Gazette states, that the Prussan Cabinet has
recently replied to Count Buols circular, to the
effect that Prussia is disinchned to make any
change in her policy in regard to the Eastern
question, Because she is unable to see what
practical guarantee the often mentioned four
points can afford for its settlements farther,
that Prussia cannot consent to bind herself to
these four points, while the parties principally
concerned reserve to themselves the right OF
going beyond them. Finally, Prussia repeats
the decision of the Germanic Band, made last
December, acknowledging the suitableness Of
the proposed conditions of peace, without, how
ever, pledging itself to maintain them
From the above it is evident that Prussia and
the Germanic Federation, stand precisely as
they did twelve months ago. ,.|
