SEEKS TO AVERT WAR.
Queen Victoria to Earl Russell,
(Foreisn Secretary
OSBORNE, 3rd Feb, 1Se2-The
Queen returns this draft.
Before giving her sanction to It.
the Queen would be glad 10 learn the
grounds on which Lord Russell as
sumes that Prussia evidently wishes
10 renew the old connection OF
Schleswig with Holstein" and that
she contemplates a war with Den
mark for that object?
The Queen would lament, equally
with Lord Russell, the occurrence OF
such a war. But, as far as she has
seen the dispatches and letters lately
received from Berlin, there seems no
reason for assuming such an inten'
ZION to exist on the part Of the Prus'
sian government.
In a public dispatch Of the 22nd
nit. Lord A. LOTUS British min
ster in Berlin) says, that LORD
Bernstorff CPrussisn minister OF
foreign affairs) does not take d
desponding view Of present negona'
tions. and in a private letter of the
o5th he adds that, though he himself
despairs Of bringing PruSsian ana
Denmark together, he does not sp'
prebend any imminent danger OF
rupture.
The Queen therefore asks Lord
Russell TO consider, whether, in tbs
absence Of any evidence that such an
Intention exists on the part Of Prus
STA. to argue on the assumption tina;
she meditates war is not more likely
"a ;rritate her, than to induce her
10 pursue the moderate course which
il is the object Of the Queens gov
.rnment TO press upon her.
RUSSELL EXPLAINS.
The Queen has marked the pass
ages which she considers might have
an Irritating effect, and wishes only
further to remark, that she Woulo
be sorry il anything should ever
4. said TO mar the effect which tbs
very able dispatch Of Lord Russell
to Mr.. Jerringham minister al
stockholn) and the clear resume
which il contains Of the present
state of the question, might be ez'
pected TO produce.
Earl Russell TO Queen Victoria.
GRESHAM PLACE, 4th Feb. 1857
Lord Russell presents his humble
duty to your Majesty; he was struck
with the remark Of Count Bernstorti
that IL signified little whether they
had 10 employ Mitraille at home, OF
have war abroad. He thought 1t ad'
risable 10 show Count Bernstorti
that war in Europe was not without
It's dangers.
However, he now proposes, in defer
ence 70 your Majesty, TO omit every
thing which might be construed as a
threat. and to eonfine himself to pure
reasoning.
This reasoning, however, be consid-
srs indispensable in order 10 promote
a specific solution Of these difficult
ties, and satisfy Parliament that this
country has done its best to avert an
attack on Denmark which may in the
event cost Prussia dear.

"a PICCADILLY, 9th Feb, 1862.
Viscount Pslmerston presents his
humble duty to your Majesty, and
begs to state in the House Of Com
mons this afternoon.

FL of the manner in which your Ma
rsty's government conducted the ne
gotiation with the United States, and
the energy as well as the moderation
with which they acted. He hoped
