We have whatever consolation there
may be in seeing signs of troubles in Eu-
rope: We think it highly probable that
England and France have made to Russia
the propositions, which arereported, ask
ing for an armistice with Poland for a
year, special administration for Poland,
and general amnesty to the insurgents,
and conceding that Polish fortresses
should be occupied by Russian troops
The great defects in this plan are, first,
that Russia will not agree to it, and sec
ondly, that Poland will not if Russia does.
And indeed these defects will be foundin
in any plan, which the Western Powers
will originate. They want to ask for
more than Russia will concede, and for
less than Poland demands OF win accept,
unless by force. How any adjustment
by negotiation is possible in these Cir.
cumstances it is impossible to conceive.
Yet the Western Powers are clearly op-
posed to the stern course, which Russia
is resolved to pursue, and if they shall
find business enough resulting from the
affair to keep them from stirring up mis-
chief on this side of the water, our grief
will be less than it would have been at
some other times. sa''
The situation of affairs in Prussia grows
more and more serious. The King:seems

ment We have from time to time called
attention to the progress of the contro-
yersy between the sovereign and the
House. The last collision was upon the
refusal of the ministers TO attend the ses-
sion of the House, unless thew could
speak as they chose, and not be called to
order by the presiding officer. The House
required its President to demand the
presence. of the minister of war. He did
not come at the time fixed. Won Bis

The House at once prepared an address
to the King setting forth its views, and
declaring that il has no further means of
agreeing With thisministry. The issue can.
no longer be postponed. Either the King
must dismiss his ministry or dissolve the
house. his previous course gives no rea-
son to expect that he will change his cabi.
