' ‘Will'the peace of Europe {be disturbed?—will strike the blowt—will Austria march federal troops into Sobleswigt—are still them omentous questions on every lip. All the elements of peace are at work to preventa war, which, whatever the result, would be disastrous to all concerned, and be de- trimental to the commerce of the world and the advance of every intellectnal developement. The great event of the week has been the King -of Prussia’s speech, on the opening of the Cham- bere at Berlin, on the 2st instant and the effect produced by that speech upon Germany generally, and the Prussian people in particular, and then the impression made vy it upon the great European powers interested in the maintenance of the balance of power in Europe. : You may probably have received a short tele. graphic summary of the speech, by last steamer, but I enclose the document itself. When the King came to that portion of the speech which relates to foreign affairs,—when he declared that he saw with pride and satisfaction that his warlike people had risen like one man, that Prussia never stood 80 strong before, and that she hada gnod right, which she was prepared to defend, long and loud were the cheers of the audi- tory. The impression conveyed was decidedly warlike. ‘The hopes of the people rese,whilst the funds fell— and yet war has not ensued, negotiations with ‘Vienna continue, and the sentinels of the two hos- tile armies pace still, up and down, in froat of their ‘watch-fires in the Electorate of Hesse, almost within sight of each other—the greatest care being taken to avoid anything like a collision. Mean- time, armaments continue with the greatest ac- tivity, in every State of Germany, to the detriment of everything. Hundreds of clerks have left their places here, obliged to throw up good situations, to join the Landwehr. It is said to-day, with what truth [ am not able to say, that Chevalier Bun- ‘sen’s (wo secretaries—Count Perponcher and Baron Bethman—have been ordered to join their regi- ments. Considering that Prussia is on terms of amity with Englaad, it is quite an exceptional case that her subjects should be called to leave. It is easily understood that Prussians holding situa- tions in the[Siates of the federation, should be re- called, but as regards other States it is very unusual. The efleet produced by the speech of Frederick ‘William, at Vienna, has been scarcely perceptible. ‘This is explained by the Austrians belay pre- yired Ata Means oreny. cremenal +: The effect in aris,on the other was, that war must inevi ensue, notwithstanding the con- ceesions ly made by Austria.

The ieply to the ro! ens lead to a discussion in the Prussian cl which may solye this gordiaa knot.

The Atlantic Steam Terminus for Evurope—The Harbors of the Weatern Irish Coast—The Govern- ment Commission—Description of the Various Harbors, §¢., §c. : The inquiry of the commission appoiated by the British government to seek out and report on the harbor of the Irish west coast, which, possessing the qualities necessary for a packet station, might afford the desideratum of the shortest Atlantic passage, is no doubt looked to, with some interest, by such ardent advocates of the short sea way as the public men of the American Union, The results of this commission will, it is stated, ‘not be published before the winter Of 1851."" In the interim, you may look with favor on a short sketch of the ports which have been mentioaed.

To such a tempest cold weather has succeeded for the last two days; and it is to be hoped we will remain in this winter-like situation for some time, for the horrible MacAdam thing ever tried, and the desire to obtain Russ paved streets. A shock of an earthquake was felt in France, near the Pyrenees, in the departments which are situated near these mountaiss. At Bagueres, Loardes, Conterets, Pau, and Argles, the aba was so powerful that many houses were disloca ede and the inhabitants knocked down.

After the performance of divine service at the Reformed Cathedral and Roman Cetholic Church of St. Hedwig, on the 21st of November, the mem bers of both houses proceeded to the white hal of the palace, where seats were prepared for them, and a gallery for the chiefs ef diplomatic missions, together with a small space for the public. The courts of the palace were occupied by a body of foot guards, the stairs lined with grenadiers, and the corridors and ante-chambers guarded by sen- tries from the guarde dw corps (cuirassiers) and from the company of palace gu infantry, com- posed of veteran non-commissioned officers—the whole, as well as the servants, attired in full- dress uniforms and Ji So soon as notice was conveyed to the ki the members were aseembled, the door ing to the royal apart- ments was thrown open at f-past eleven, and his mejesty, attired in the uniform of the 1st foot uards, of which he ie colonel, and holding his einer in his hand, entered, beine preceded by the grand marshal and about twenty chamberlains, and followed by eight of the in princes, the chiefs of diplomatic nussione, the ministers of state, and the civil and military officers of the royal household. A: the princes present, were their Royal Highnesses Prince William, uncle to the king; the Princes of Prussia, Charles and Albrecht, his brothers; Princes Adalbert and Frederick, his cousin; Prince Frederic Charles, son of Prince Charles; and Prince Frederick, son of Prince Albrecht. Her majesty and the prin- cesses were pot present. His Mojesty, upon entering, bowed to the as- sembled members, who received him in solema silence. He then mounted the steps of the throae, and co soon as the royal family, ministers, and at- tendants. had settled into their places on either side, the King covered his head with his helmet, and M. de Ladenberg, acting Minister President, advenced und delivered ed copy of the speech into the royel hands. majesty, who is ex- tremely shortsighted, then raised the document close to his eyer, and commencing coldly, in a eomewhat indistinet voice, which cleared and warmed in a marked and most esergetic manner— even to bitterness in one or two parte—read the speech given below. The whole of the first part wes listened to in silence, but with intense atten- tion; when, however, the King came to that part which touches on the events passing in Leese, a ime ahs mat te fi ite arms unit the rights of the nation were validated, murmurs of applause broke forth, and these murmurs broke out into a loud cheer when his majesty seid he would hold inviolably (wnver- britchlach) to the censtitution. So soon as his Majeety had concluded, the Prince of Prussia raieed his helmet, and gave the 7 for the three loud and genera! shouts of “Live the King,” which followed. These had searcely subsided, however, when some members exclaimed, “Long live the Prince Prussia,” who, although contrary to ell usual etiquette, was immediately greeted with three lusty hurrabs. In the meantime the King uncovered, descended from the throne, and quitted the hallia the same order ia which the procession had entered, but amidst the loud and prolonged applause of the members. Here the ceremony ended; and before twelve o'clock, the King proceeded in a carri and four to preside at a cabinet council at Belle- vue, and members made the best of their way to their respective houses, where they commenced preparatory business, under their presidents by semority.
