kilograms received from Halifax, giving two
days later intelligence from Europe, announce
grave complications which have arisen between
the great Powers upon the subject of Poland
The instruction which has spread over all that
unhappy country has become the leading po-
htical theme throughout Europe, and bids fair
to involve consequences which will surely
change the present aspect of the great Powers
Napoleon III. has sent to Berlin despatch ex-
pressing great dissatisfaction with the interview
ton Of the Prussian government in the affairs
Of Poland. 1t Is also announced that Earl Rus
sell, in the debate In the British House of Lords
denounced the course Of Russia. We hear from
reliable sources that the military agreement en-
tered into between Russia and Prussia is very
aggressive towards Poland, and that England
and Franco are determined that the principle
of non-intervention shall not be violated by
Prussia.
The people of France have always looked
upon the Poles as part and parcel Of themselves.
The salons of Paris have for years been filled
with noble Polish exiles, who have won for
their unfortunate country the sympathy Of the
higher GLASSES in France; while the masses OF
the French people remember that in the armies
Of the Great Napoleon the Poles figured as
heroes, equal in impstuous dash and cool dar-
ing to the famed soldiers who under
command Of the "Petit Corporal" over
ran all Europe and rendered France
illustrious Napoleon the Third Is we'll aware
that in the present movement the insurrectionists
in Poland have the sympathy of al his subjects,
and hence he wiR prevent interference in the
struggle, even ifhe does not openly advocate
their cause and lend them aid to defeat Russia.
Herein be will be acting In accordance with the
desires of France, and will thus be the more
likely to avert tho unpopularity he was fast
acquiring from the i'll results of his movements
on this continent. In England the masses like
wise are In favor of the Poles, and hence the
British government will endeayor to protect tie
insurrectionists from all interference Prussia
fully understands that her interests are tightly
bound up with those of Russia as regards the
Polish question. If Russian Poland succeeds in
throwing off the yoke of Russia, of course Prus-
sian Poland will endesvor to do the same by
Prussia; and here the interests of the two Powers
are identical.
France will easily persuade Austria to join in
any repressive measure towards Prussia. She
will premise oil that Austria may demand as re-
CARDS Venetia;and Austria will gladly give to
France her moral or oven her armed support to
prevent Intervention in Poland. An additional
inducement to Austria will be the fact that
England and France will thus become In man
ner pledged to repress Intervention in Hungary;
and Austria is we'll aware that the Hungarians
may at any moment follow the example set by
the Poles. Prussia and Austria have long been
rivals for the lead in the Germanic Confedera-
ton, and Austria would gladly see Prussia
snubbcd by France and England and her. pres
tige thus lessenej.
We do not believe that England would 60 to
the lengths of an armed demonstration against
Prussia; but she would il possible, urge France
and Austria into such measure. Her inter-
ests are that Poland should not be crushed at
once. Poland's unsettled state diverts the atten-
ton Of Russia from her grand schemes in tho
East which are so menacing to the prcpondcr-
ance of England's commercial power; and
hencc Great Britain will endeavor to prevent
any joint action on the part of Prussia and
Russia against Poland. She would prefer that
the thorn might remain in Russia's powerful
side to rankle and occasionally lester out trouble
and annoyance to that gigantic Power. So she
will repress Prussia, and leave Poland to deal
alone with Russia.
Any alliance between Russia and Prussia II
fairly entered into with full determination to
join their forces against all that might be
brought against them, would render those
Powers very formidable; but Prussia will, we
imagine, be afraid to make an offensive and de-
fensive alliance with Russia, as she would there
by render all the other Powers her enemies.
So she will, most likely, abandon her present
intentions of aiding Russia to suppress the
Polish insurrection, and leave the Gear to
battle alone with those rebelling against his
rule.
In Europe the results Of the Polish insurrec-
ton can but be monentous The Poles are
now fully aroused, and have, as they well
know the sympathy Of the whole revolutionary
party throughout Europe. Besides which, they
are desperate men, and will battle unto
death. They have arisen against q power
full government and know that they must con-
quer or die. In these circumstances nations,
like individuals, achieve wonders. The struggle
seems likely to be protracted one--the
more SO If France and England prevent Prussia
from aiding the Gar. 1t will shake all Europe
to the core. II the outbreak is destined TO be .
successful one, and Poland regains her freedom,
the aspect Of European affairs viii be changed.
Its probability even now gives rise to intrigues
and schemes which will increase as time proves
that the Poles may succeed.
II is rumored that Prince Napoleon desires
the throne Of Poland-a report which is GER
tainly corroborated by the stand he has taken
in the affair. He boldly demands that France
