Prussia Describing Her Position.
T. was stated lately that the Prussian Gov.
eminent has issued ? circular dispatch, dated
the l2th Of February, 70 its representatives al
the different courts Of Germany. We are en-
abled 70 give the text OF that dispatch Ih
as follow;
BERLrN, February u.
n the government Of The King, in the pres
Ent critical state Of affairs, has not before cN-
l planned is views and given instructions 10 It's
representatives. at he German courts, IL mus-
be attributed 10 the peculiar nature Of the act
ual political situation.
The peace Of Europe appears 20 be threaten
ed from many points, but il is difficult 30 say
from which. In the East, in Servia, in the
Danubian Principalites. there is nothing
which cannot be settled b. diplomatic meas
ures. he same may Be said Of Italian Affairs.
In The opinion Of the government Of the
King, The Difficulties Of he present s~itsation
and the dangers Of a conflict are 70 be sought
for not 50 much in the impossibility Of settling
private questions as in the counter ~inclinations
(sfimmuarsn) which have arisen lately between
The cabinets Of Vienna and Paris.
Underth these serious Circumstances we did not
hesitate for one moment 70 recognize the duties
Of our position. Acting upon the wish 10
maintain the faith Of treaties, their bearing
upon the present state Of things, consequently

our efforts al Paris, as well a. al Vienna, TO
point out the incalculable dangers that would
result from aconaict, and IN both quarters we
have made tie most pressing appeals for peace
and moderation.
However, W did not deceive ourselves as TO
the conditions on which such a line Of action
might hope 70 be crowned with success As B.
was our intention TO act in the sense indicated
with an our power upon the two cabinets at

an Independent position towards both.
As a member Of the Confederation, we shall
never fail in f~ulhllinE our duties toward Il as
prescribed BY its fundamental regulations, but
we cannot 20 beyond that.nor Dc we think that
the present political situation would warrant
Us in doing So, nor favor ihe accomplishment
Of the task imposed upon us, ss regards the
present state Of afaus, as a European power
The uncertainty which, as far as can BE- seen
from recent indications, seems 70 belong 10 the
present situation Of Affairs, induces Us TO ad-
here still more closely to the position We have
taken up. II. az now appears probable, neCo-
uauous are set on foot concerning Italian
ahairs, the neutral position which We have 90
carefully maintained viii be Of the greatest
value in enabling rs TO give counsel 10 both
sides, and viii give weight 20 cur representa-
tons.
We have also much satisfaction in the belief
that the free position which VIC have succeeded
" retaining IS one which we share with the
British Cabinet, and that the efforts we have
been making to preserve peace and remove mis-
understandings are being also made By that
power. IN the Cooperation % Russia, too,
which We have secure On dem ron rns Is frcb-
ten -usammchrirken NAT Russland,) we see an
other guaranty for the successful result Of our
poiicy.
Such are, IN their essential substance. the
points Of view which have hitherto acted a.
our guide, and which, as vet, we resolve 90 ad-
here to. By Sc doing, we believe we are doing
good service % the common cause.-The cause
q peace aad the maintenance Of the existing
stale Of things maintenance which we our
selves desire as well as cur German allies. By
this line Of action we believe thai we do better
service to that cause than BY manifestations
and measures which, in our opinion. would
ueIiher respond 20 the object in VeW nor to the
character of The present state Of affairs, but
would rather contribute to excite luminosity and
add fuel TO the flames.
