Even if the first attemut should be a ul, we are confident the British people vuld rather beve this proof of activity and decision an see a noble army dying literally ina ditch, thout glory, without result. It cannot, however, be concesled for a moment at on the most favorable supposition, the captare ‘the city, the cockyard, arsenal, and the Quaran- \e fort would only commence another phase of the Hcalty.

Yet such a position one of the boldest ever attempted ia t 1¢ history'of jar. The occupation of the Russian capital itevit, }e conversion of its palaces into barracks, and the ‘tribution upon Russia of the numerous insults it heaped in its day,on all the cities that have len within its power, could not bea more irritat- le than the occupation or destruction le 0! those gigantic batt: ries raised with su.’ aud coet for the conquest of the East.

VI. the desire of seeing Prussia a4- here to it. I lost no time in submitting that important communication to the King, our august master, His Majesty fully appreciates its great importance, and in making it the subject of a conscientious examination, he has been guided by the sincere desire of assoeiati himself, as much as his convictions and the interesta of his country permit him, the common work of the re-es tablisbment of genera! peace on just and durable bases, It is with satisfaction that the King saw the proto- cols of Vienna referred His Majesty centinues to regard them as the expression of the concert of the four Powers, and attaches @ particular price to everything which is ature to intimate Coonstater) the dura tion of that accordance. It is true that Proasia ¢id not participate in the exchange of the notes of the Sth of August, the government of the King did not think it ad- visable, in the then general state of things, to bind him- ty any engagement whatever, but ich, at various times, has held at St. Petersburg, nd whieh has not remained withont effect, proves that he endeavored to assure « practical value to the guarantees, formulated at Vienna, by inda- cing the Imprrial Russian Cabinet to adopt them. While on the one band the diplomatic concurrence of Prose them already ascquired to the efforts of the other P to fix bases of a general o, her transactions with Anstria prove no less, on tne other, that the Cabinet of the King, penetrated with the gra vity of the interesta co: by a prolongation of the menacing attitude of Russia, bas, within the limit of certain evertualities, engaged even its military co- operation Under all these respects the analogous attitude be- tween Prursia and the Powers who signed the treaty of the 24 of Lecember alread. and the King, august master, is too far from under any illasion on the incaleulabie dangers with which the ulterior un- ebaiping of warlike passions would threaten all Europe, not to be disposed to cement, in the interest of a prompt and equitable peace and the real equilibrium it is des- tined to guarantee, by pulations, an accordance ic uld be called upon to ex- afluence. pon the trea he 24 December io this view, and recognizing with satisfaction that it contains the elements of the above indicated nature, the King, our august master, has, morover, found in most of its articles the impression, most natural, it is trae, of its special destination, that is to say, of an en tente between the Western Po: and Austria, It would follow—and certainly the justness of this observation ny enenpe the just observation of the three Courts 0 signed ti treaty—that Proesis, to adhere eventual- ly to the general tendency of that transaction, and to some ofits particular stipulations, Goes not find herself io a nes (en menure) to accede ton treaty already cone , but rather to conclude, if require!

Consequently, the King charges you, Monsieur le Comte, to speak in this sense to M.

Although the King of Prussia hes not thought fit, for several reasons, to Nagy the proposal of joinin, the bei alliance ot the 2d of December, the Ca! net of mavedy shows signs of impatience and apnoyance urfGer the isolation into wuich it is cast, and it has even made some efforts to regain the con- fidence of the Western Powers. On the 1th of De- cember a despatch was forwarded to the Prussian Ministers in Paris and London, in which M. de Man- teuffel attempta to show that, although Prussia de- clines to be a jy to the Austrian treaty, she de- sires to ‘te “herself in the common work of the re-establishwent of peae on jast and permanent bases; she maintains that the dipiomatic coucert be tween herself and ths other Powers still exists; aud even announces that ebe is pre to enter into ergagementa with the Western Powers ous to thore already contracted by Austria. At the same time M. Von Usedom was despatched to London. Prince Hohenzollern mn was requested to proceed to Paris on a similar mission, which he de- clined, and Colonel Manteuffel was sent to Vieons, and thence to St. Petersburg. These efforts show that the King of Prussia has by no means submitted to the and inevitable conse 2 of his own policy. He had unques- tonably a right te withdraw entirely from the de- Wi ions of the great European Powers on these subjects, and the maintenance of a strict neutrality, exclusively pes by his own particular int would only be preserved by standing aloof from the scene te: But the Prussian Court has not ad- hered to this doursé! {t has continued to renier es- sential services to the epemy, while it has reiterated ita asurances of good willt? the Western Powers; and when the treaty of the 2d of December was signed at Vienna, the King evinced the strongest dieeatistaction as if he had forgotten that but for his own contumacy and opposition asimilar treaty would bave been concluded between all the Four Powers as long as March last, at the very outset of hostili- ties. result has been an spparent division io Germany, a partial disunion between the four States of Central and Western Eurove, and a direct en- couragement to the Emperor Nicholas to persevere in bis policy of aggre y In this predicament, and with these unfortunate reeulte ot bis Prussia hes isolation in which he is natarally placed; and his refusal to join the Triple Alliance been followed by proposals to renew ne; count. That appears to be the Meaning of his de- c.aration of the 19th of December, avd the special miesions we bave already adverted to must beet be re simple id obvi propositions the most ple and obvious rep: would seem to be, that the present advisers of the King of P;uesia have given too many proo‘s of their notorious adhesion to Russis, and have rendered too maxy services to that Power, for England and France to enter into any confidential ar menta with men 80 devoted to the interests of their antagonist. But a moment's reflection suffices to show that, al- though it is still ported consistent with the honor of Prussia to join the alliance of the 2d of Decem- ber, and to resume her place in the conferences ot Vienna on those terms, it is impossible for the other parties to that alliance, or any of them, to enter into separate engegementa with Prussia for the at- tainment of the same objects. If the objects are really the same, the means of attaining them ought to be identical; if they are different, it would be in- consistent with the engagements already contracted to enter upon a diatinct course of a tion. All these difficulties have arisen from the King of Prussia's habit ot putting forward particular suggestions o his own, with a view to his own rterest, while the conditions adopted by the other Powers all bear the intereste of Europe. The mission natic or military, they will borrow | before his eyes, the King of | attempt to avoidthateutire | ns on his own ao- | in- | about a similar result.

He professes satisfaction at the couclusion of the treaty between Austria and the Western Powers; but “ Prassia,”’ he says, “to adhere eveutually to the general ten- dency of this transaction, and to some of its varti- cular stipulations, is n04 in a position to accede to a it is open to ber, an analogous arrangement.” If we could receive any satisfaction from this results of the year.

We must attribute the rise, there- fore, to the efforts of the government to sustain the new loan. It is reported, indeed, that there is a combination of benkera to keep down the fands. They have offered, it is said, to take all that may not be subscribed for by the public in the new loan, at 60f , and are, therefore, trying to beat down the market; but this rumor is absurd. There are not in Paris three bankers who would expose themselves to the consequences of such a combination. Paris Comstitutionne/, of 4th instant, has an article on the new loan, in which, after making an- other appeal to the patiiotiam of the French nation, it enumerates the chances of profit which are held out w eubecribers. It sa: Let us row see what advantages are held out to the persons subscribing.

Even the adhesion of Prus- sia to the treaty of the 2d ot December would now be of strall importance unless she also adopted the rc toco! of the 28th of December to its full extent; lor & Power which haa once withdrawn from the collective deliberations of Europe, and broken the series of its publi: en; to the other States, finds it extremely difficult to regain its former posi- tion without accepting a variety of measures taken witheut its occurrence. Thus, neither Count Araim vor Colonel Manteuffel was present at any part of the diecuesion which took place last Thursday at the British Embassy in Vienna; but tuey can neither gore nor adopt the results of that remarkable onference, It bas been erroneously stated by several fereign journals that, while these ueation, @ separate and was on thot between’ France ph gt a convention ranteeing the possessions of the kter Power. e do not believe in the existence of any sach treaty, and we are persuaded that, im fae present state of relations of country with the-courts of Paris and Vienna, no such measure would be taken without the full knowledge of the British govern- ment. Practically speaking, however, the exist- ence of any treaty of alliance between France and Austria, and the establishment of confidential rela- tions between those empires must operate as a se- curity for the Italian 6 of Austrian Crown. The proximity and the influence of France in Italy are all that Austria has seriously to dread, and, ce M. Mazzini assures his in- fatusted’ victims that the moment for immediate action is arrived, it isevident thatthe union of ali the ff bebo ay having military forces in Italy would instantly crush apy such movement. There can be no greater proof of the good understanding now tubsisting between Austria and France than the fact that the Austrian forces have almost entirely evacuated Tuscany, and about 40,000 men are on way from the garrisons of Lombardy to the army of Moravia, while the French ison of Rome haa been covsiderably reduced. The curse of foreign military occupation, which has at al! times weighed 89 heavily on the towns of italy, is caused hot only by the distrust of the population ‘felt by the | governments, but by the jeal of foreign govern- a by the jealousy ign | ments towards In the event of premio that Fravce would enter into stil! itive spas. on this subject, for it is well nown to both these governments that the power by which some traces cf revolutionary agitation are sll kept op in Itely is Russia, and that by a Menstrous abe has sought for agents aud | tilies among the ontiaws of Europe.

It fellows mit with the entire eeries of Prussian pagers. and the extra ordinary Indefinite position which that power claima to preserve is indiceted in appropriate sentences. We are told that “ the King sees the protocols of Viera cited, with satisfaction; and that he does pot discontinue to conrider them the ex prenstor. of the concert between the four Powers.” “ Although Prussia did not participate in the exchange of the notes of the mouth cf Angust, and would not enter into the ment which they invoived, the isc- frere which on mveral occasions his Majeaty bas Jd et Bt.

For the Four end-a-Half Be Cents, the advantage arising from themode of payment is equivalent to a redu:- tion of 2f, 93c, aud the anticipated iate- reat on the sum paid represenw another re duction of If. 25c. on the rate of emission, so that the Foursnd a Half per Cents wil! be really deli- vered, not at 92f., but 4f. 18c. less, or at S7f. 82c. | As to the Three per Cents, toe reduction to be effected is smaller; but it still amounts to 2f. 8c. for the time allowed for payment, and to 9c. for the an- tictpaied interest, or 2f. 17c. in all, which brings | cown the rate of emission from 65f. 25c. to 63f.5¢. | Consequently the real rates of emission are 87f. the. for the Four and o Half per Cents, and 63f. 8c. for the Toree Cents. Certain! thete sre conditions calc: dd to attract the disposable capital, as the Four and a Haif per Cents, at 87f. 82s., offer an inducement of en interest of more than five per cent, or in strict terms 5.12 per cent; and the Three per Cents, | at 63f. 8c., leave a large margin to such persons a4 desire to gainon their capital, when that stock aball re secend to tte natural level. If we compare these prices with the quotations at the Bourse on | the day when tne decree for the loan appeared, namely, 92{. 50c., and 66f, 60c., we shall find that the subscribers have a profit of 41. 68c. for the Four and a» Half per Cents, and one of 3f. 52c. for the | ‘Three per Cents. It is true that the comparison wiil not be so favorable if we take the quotations of the | present moment. But in addition to the fact | that @ mere tempo decline ought not to be at- tended to, there still remains, in spite of that de- cline, a msiked advantage in subsc ibing to the new losp. Besides, if any oue desires to fe itp pro- perly the acvanteges offered to the subscribers, he Tovst place himseif in a point of view less narrow | than thatof the present moment. Every one knows that the subscribers to the former loan made @ good | profit of it, since they were able to sell their titles with an advance of 15 perceut. But if the general situaticn of credit be examined, it will be foand that it is mach better at present than it was last year before the issue of the first loan. Letus,there- | fore, leave aside the prices on the d. preceding | the announcement of the emission, prices altogetver | sccidental, and which, being determined by » tem cannot be considered asa real indi ¢ of credit, Let os go back fitteen | and what shall we fiad’ That, on the 20th cf February, for instance, ora fortnight before the emission of the loan of March, the thiee per cents were quoted at 66f. only; whereas, on December 15, or @ fortaight befote the emission of the present loan, thr y were quoted at trom 70f. to Tif, and that acme days priviously they were pearly at 73. The same is the cise with ail Kinds of securities, and in particular with rallw thares, which at presext show an amelioration of from 100f. to 2000f. each, sa com- fared with the quotetions st the commencement of jast y' Is not that an evident proof that the genera! state of credit is better at present? The depre of the Rente can covsequently be only of short duration; and when all kinds of secarities are seen to resist so Army, we are warranted in be- luving that the Rentes will rive natarally to their level when the cause which de; s them aball have ceased to act. Let it not be forgotten that ncaacely two years’ back the three per canta were at f2f, after having reached 87/. Are we not destined again to bebold the same qootations at a period which canpot be very distant? Let only the Rente return to {ta normal state acd the subseribers wi)! obtain s plas value of 50 per cent on toelr capital. Toe conclusion which we are led to deduce from these coosiderstions Ww, toat if tre subscribers to the prececing loan obtained advantageous con tious, those accorded to tne enbscribers of the new oan ave WL more favorable, looking at the mate ot credit; that capalista of every kind, encouraged it encceas, wid ten rcit by the new howl be ane. ions & take part, accardirg to his means, | ™ tive operation, st the same time as a work eminentiy patriot: end vatlonal The Quarters Revenne of England.
