THREATENED COMPLICATIONS IN EUROPE.
The Prussian government entered into engagement
with Russia which has threatened to produce grave
pctons and to give to the other great Powers Of europe
for intervening in the affairs of Poland Ac
cordng this convention Prussia 10 place military
the frontier to disarm all Poles who crossed the
ne and to permit Russian troops to into Prussan
territory in pursuit Of fugitive insurgents Russia, il
appears made similar propositions to AUSTRIA but the
latter Power declined TO accede to thom declaring that
motive for departing from its principle Of strict
neutrality. The French Cabinet lost no time In
entering animated protest against such convention
declaring that amounted TO vertable alliance that

assume such grave character to force Europe to In
