Whatever surraises there may he on your side OF
the water respecting disturbance OF the European
peace TO Toe caused either 10y war between France
and Germany, by the Eastern question: or by the
domestic dificulty in Spain becoming contagious
we must be allowed to differ with them, and to
adhere to our view OF the political situation at pre-
sent and for some time TO come az indicating pro-
found peace and tranquility Not only has nothing
happened OF late TO diminish the chances OF durable
peace. but they have grown materially stronger,
since longer douot exists OF the entire harmony
between Russia aud Prussia, harmony which
IN tho absence OF solemn treaties seems never
theless sincere and Trustworthy. Napoleon is by this
time fully aware OF this close entente codia,e between
the two most powerful governments Of the Continent,
and knows how dfricut q task II would be to sever
these ties OF dynastc consangulnty, and moreover.
OF voluntary alliance. Thus, France to-day, hardly
daring TO measure ts strength with that OF Germany,
Il almost paralyzed az long as II has not first
cured Russis's neutrality, though Germany alonc
would be able 10 take up French challenge. The
spanish revolution Is looked upon here with com.
pete Indifference and has not had the least effect
upon the action OF Prussia or the North German
Confederation, except perhaps, the sending ~ .
vesselof-wsr TO offer protection TO German residents

man Ambassador IN Madrid, who has not been re-
called, though the spanish Minister here is prcpar
ipa 10 leave for the castle Of Pau under the convc
ton that the future government WIZ not need him NJ
the court OF Berlin.
While the political aspect is thus entirely peaceful
no great interest rs attached TO the military confer
encos now held nc Munich, which are to pave the
way for consolidation OF the northern and southern
force Of Germany Little ~ In known OF the result

OF the North; ito offers OF entering into conventions
similar TO tho one relative to the division OF esse
have been refused. Southern 0ermany - deter

zation, though not averse 20 adopt some OF the lead
ing points, especially concerning prompt mobliza-
ton, which exist In the Northern army. The 0mcial
pres N order to show Its discretion, pretends tosay
that me Munich conferences far from being occupied

gaged with purely internal afaire such a. southern
loruncations Their garrlsons &C.. but II such topics
