The changed aapecs which hes been given to the preeeat crisis by Carding) Avtonelii’s intimation of the Pope's wish that the troops of both France and Austria shouid bo withdrawa from hi territories. To these may be added the speculations of the press and people upoa tho probable consequences to Barope of tho wr into which it is believod Napolron MM. bas irreyooab!y determined to plange the Continent before the expiration of many weeks. C3 A fair illustration of the diplomatic maxis, that “ words were given to man for the purpose @f tho better concealing his thoughts,’ is afford. ead by tho perfect uniformity of expression to ~ be found in the various speeches made a wock ago in ‘the two houses of Parliament, as contrasted wita the com- ments upon them by the London papers of tho followiug day. It id ocgasionally wel! for Europe that a key ia given te, parliamentary dissimulation by an wufettered press. Lerd Palmoreton opened the subject of the Continental erisis by declaring his firm conviction that “ the obvious nd ready method by which the genera! uneasiness of Burope can be calmed down, and any contest between France and Austria avoided, would be tholr ontua! and “pamoltancous evacuation of the States of the Church, and Meir retirement with in their own respective froutiers.”” Mr. Disraeli followed, belarding the ‘ leader of the opposition’? ‘with compliments upon the justice and patrotiau which his remarks manifested, and added: “entirely agroo with ‘the view which the noble lord has taken of the position of the great Powers interested in the settlement of 1815.” Bord John Russell then congratulated everybody upon having said and done everything in precisely tne most ap- propriate and becoming manner poesible; and aftor gene val ‘ mutual admiration,” and feligitatious that “ tne ay- proaching evacuation of the Roman territory preciuded ‘the possibility of hostilities, the House w:jzurned. Aevery eimilar farce was simultanectisly enacted, with the Karl of Malmesbury, Lord Brougham and others for actors, in tas House of Lords. What a pity, after such a tuning of the “voice of the mation” to one key; that ‘sorrow should come,” in ths shape of newspapers, ‘in the morning,” So, however, i was destined to be. The London News of the 20th February laughs to scorn, as the paltriest possible speci. men of soap bubble juggiery, the whole endeavor to whitewazh into decency a very muddy coacern. Suveral ‘of the paper®, too lazy,to think, content taemselves with aloud Uh! ob! ! The Times, seldom taken by surprise, Praises the “guarded bearing, wise feints and politic make believes” (!) of the Huse; considers the “eisy sivence”’ of the three principal speakers as wortoy of the “Senate of Rome,” logically proves that Italy, substen- tially, bes nothing whatever todo with tho imponding war; ant finally rrouses itself, visa vis Palmerston, Disraeh & Co., tothe following outburet of catechetical franknes2:— What is this bat tho plainest hypocrisy? Jt i to make Kome an idle pretence and a prviic nuisance. ‘The real question, to spenk the plain truth, which brings the Gaul once move to tho Capital, and makes the balis of whe Cwrors echo his incessant dram and ring with his ebrill trumpet, is not that the pilgrim may contigue to bow Dbifore the Holy Fatner, but that France may Dave @ boundary more to her tase, and may nave at least, oil west of the Rhino and Alps.

Napoleon HL would to have succeedéd, momenta. ily, in eo magnetizing British stateemen of all partioy futo'sloggisb, ubeasy eubserviency, that none ot them dare, a8 yet, to raise their voices in trumpet-toned disap- probation of the transparently colossal system of Continen- tal filibnstering which he is about to inangurate. A toar. less British ministry might still give law, with a voice of thuneer, to the craity successor of the mammoth of un- ‘wise genins whodied in exile at St. Helena, A Duke of ‘Wellington, or even a Castlereagh, would say to France:— “War, to diemember Austria, and thos to destroy the balance of power in Europe, is war with England, Conse your armaments, or we wilt call upoa the Allies of 1615 toregard even there ag a casus bellé.”” Unfortunately, no giants sur- round the torone of Queen Victoria, The people, it 18 true, are slowly awakening to the incompetency of tueir rulers; ‘Dut no representation of the popular will is to be hoped for in Parliament ip time to swerve the French Emperor from bis schomes of incendiary aggraudisement. The text of the Prussian circular despatch, dated Feb- ruary 12, has tranapired but recently. 1t is a flimsily quelfied Russo French manifesto, instigated, as almost everything diplomatic from Berlin has been of late years, by representations from St. Petersburg. The clause, “we bave secured the cooperation of Ruseia,’’ is about as sig- nificant an item as it contains. Its proper moaning, 0 course, is,‘ Rusgia has secured our oo-operation.”’ No im- 4 would be attached to this circular in Vienna bat the consequences that may flow from the ostentatio1s jealousy with which the reigaing Prussian house tacitly declares ite willingness that Austria should be dismember. ed, although the toes of Yomerania and Posen, in the East, ‘and a renewal of the ‘Confederation of the Rhine,” in the ‘West, would be the probable consequence of the triumph of tho Ragsian and alliance. » the in- Fortunately, terests of Bavaria, Wurtemberg, Saxovy and Hanover will compel them to consider the matter more conservative ly, iteelf sym! with Austria of West- Deitch tem idee bre mrosent ——s attitude of seanine in favor ussia, (For abundant data to ‘useian of ‘weeks, passim. ) feo the Pri press of the last Austria can reckon in its bebalf upon nearly half of the votes in tho Diet at Frankfort in case a war is forced upon her by France; and if Count Buol is not mista- ken in supposing that the co-operation of Nassau aud Raden fs to be considered certain, or if either of those Btates, with rome of the smaller Buchies, proves faithrul to the traditions of the beginning of tho century, the Court of Berlin will be obliged to pocket ita preferenves and to give way to the popular sentiment t France. The Teal trouble in the Prussian kingdom is the frreconcilea- able heterogeneousness of the clements which compose it, If tt is interrogated of Austria; “What bond can hold together so many diverse uatioualities?”’ the reply is, “Faith,” To the same question concerning Prussia tho responge must be: ‘None.’ No legislative or adminis- trative alkali can unite the six millions and a half of ultra- conservative Gathouics in the kingdom with the teu mil- Hous of Protefants, nearly two-thirds of whom, at a low estimate, are violent republican pantheists, ready to seize tipon the first opportunity to renew tho’ oxperi- ment at self-government which failed $0 wignally in 1848, I fear that scarcely three millions of Prussian subjects are attached, either from principle’ or tradition, to the rule of the Hobenzoliorn House. It is not aitogetuer ex- traordinary, under such circumstances, that a very imbe- ctle government should leon upon Russia, It would be a mistake, however, to suppore that a circular liko that of February 12 is to be regarded as eignifivative of tho tinal future action of the kingdom, or still less of the senti- monts of the peopte of Northorn Germany, Lord Cowley bas been here not quito two days, No- thing reliablo has trapepired with regard to tue propo. sitvous which the French Emperor, (for bis lordetp 1s vot to be #0 much an bak, Ao England as of France), bas instructed him to mako; the goneral sen- that they are not of acharacter which can bo honorably accoded to.

If thie is roally tho ultima. tum of France, it will be remptorily rejected. Te will have been made, indeed, 4 ‘it was foressen that 1+ could not possibiy be avcopte’. Popular indignation ia so imtento Mm Vienna at the present moment against the Im perial government of Franco, that rumors aro to be re- ceived with caution whore feeling evidently supplies tho teen of facts; but, taken in connection with the tone of ish leaders, und of the London prosa, T onnot euter- tain mach hope that Lord Cowley’s mission will prove to havo been # more ‘one to Rurope than the simt- larly intentioned one of Lord Johu Ruasell was four years ‘8g0. Tho dangerous resolution of Pius IX. to demand the evacoation of his territories by Austrian and French ‘sroops was takon, in intimate concert with Francis Joseph 1, as a last concession of tho priest rather than tho mo- march to avert if possible from Karope tho awful hor. rors of a general war, manity of nations to abstain from the causolos shedding of human blood; before soghiaria bande, tl of but lives to the ambitious juste of an unscrupulous ueorpor morn of qurndes of ives apd mothers, who soon pul wi aed open te bewail their ‘murdered osbaads and withm two weeks, bad repeatedly declared that the with- drawal from Romo of foreign troops would secure the maitenance of friendly relations between Austria and Fronce. He was taken at his word.. The Pope and Francis Joseph were prompted by the single motive of « sincere and profound wish, in view of a higher responsibility than ony that ean exist before man, to exhanst every bonora- ble means of laying the threatened storm, It is a note- worthy theme of conversation here that Fraucis Joseph has fiia!y rebuked, from the very commencement of the entanglements with France, every counsel to precipitation reseptment which bas been offered by those who, omg uncer a sense of insnit, would have hurried the e into war. His cold and monotonous reply to each and every one has be “I shall be held responsible through ali ciernity for the weilare of my subjects, If war is in- evitabie, it shall so come that I can appeal with innocent hands and heart to Gad for aid.” wher the Freach nor Anetrian troops have lert Italy. It is even reported that » grossly ineuiting message has been sent, indirectly, to th» rope by the ‘rench Emperor, becanee the former suc- bud toa policy which was dictated exclusively by Fronce. It is probable, however, that the Papal States wiil very soon be evacuated; and, although no one be- heves it prevent war, it will at least tear away th» mask onder which }its motives were to have been con- cealed. jaded, as the Austrian people are, that war with and Sardinia will soen be followed by hostiities on yort of Russia, it might bo supposed that an universal gloom would oversbaiow the empire. Sach is not the case, There 8. rather, an carnest, steadfast foreboding with tespect to the beginnings of the war, than anxiety concerning its nal reaults. Tinged as politics are in Austria with rebgious sentiment, the quostion seems to be Jers “ What will Austria do?” than ‘ What will Providence do through Austrian instrumentality?” Reserving for future communications a store of otber detaila which might swell this letter into a pamphlet or book, Iwill conilne the remainder of these pages to the starting monuer in which it has,of late, become the fushion tospeak about Poland. Not thatthere is any novel- ty there, bot what with press restrictions and court Concentration vpon the more important subjects of politi- cal ciscourse, there bas been, hitherto, an guére delicacy of speech concerning affairs of gencral interest which bas prevented their bemg favorably or unfavorably comment. 0 upon by the prers. Francis Jereph I. has entertained from his earliest youth the idea that the yoke of Ruesia could never be effectually and forever thrown off by Austria until the prophecies of St. Stanislas of Warsaw were fultiiled in regard to Poland. Stodiously as the subject has of late years been avoided, it has been impossible, eapeciaily in Germany, to overlook the porition which that kingdom may be some day called ‘upon to occupy in the ne; for an eternal peace in Eviope. It is not to be forgotten that it has been ever Polund that hag epgrorse] and rendered more difficult of solution the complications and political entanglements bo- tween Austria and the other Powers. The republican party of Europe was incessant in its demands during the Crimean war tbat England and France should change ite centie of hostilities from Sebastapol and the Danube to the Vietnia, and show earncstuess in their oppogition to Rus- sian ambition by raising boldly the standard of Polish in- dependence. It bas been many times hinted at by the di- plomatists of Western Europe, especially of Kogland, that Une only hope for Poland waa to be found in the historical eppoeition which Austria bas ever cherished against the wrongs of 1774, 1704 and 1814, and they havo frequently regicted that the time would come when Cossack am- ition Would receive a rebuke from Germany which would keep it. in check for all future time. Fifty years atter the death of Peter the Great the king- dom of Poland was partioned by an act of lawiess aggres- sion, abd, by subsequent partitions, a realm which ex- tended from the Oder to the Dneiater, and from the Baltic to the Carpatbisn Mountains, was appropriated by an unparalleled violation of public law, and became an in tegral part of Rursia, and Pruegia. The act was accomplished by lar means, and under similar etexts, as the aggression five years go upon Turkey. A part of Poiand was then held out to Frussta and Ausiria, just ae Candia end Egypt were pro- Pozed as @ bribe to England. Prussia wae a willing participator in the act of plnvder; but Austria held aloof’ as lopg as she dared, Maria Theresa bad stated to M. de Breteuil, the French Ambarsador at the Court of Vienna:— I know that I have brought a great stain on my retgn by all that Baa come of ‘this aftair of Poland, but 1 should: be pardon- ed were the extent of my repngnarce to it to be known, and bow much cireumstences have cou ributed to. torce me prin - ciples a» well aa my reaclutlons srainst all extreme views of the unjust embitton ot Bussia and Prussia.

Never have I been go distreseed, M. de Kaunitz wrote im. the same sense, but probably with jess sincerity, to the Duke of Rouan, the Mintater Ex- traordinary of France:— é After the efforte which ber Imperial Majesty bes made {ores tratn her neighbors, after having sxcriticea enormous sume to Testraip en ambitious rival, her Mujesty would have exposed herself by @ more ed inaction to the total ruia of he finances, to contempt and the nost irreparable disas'ar. 1 hat bo Miternetive, then, but to take the part my court deterniiae t 0p, aithonsh with rel tegret nod « aversion; congirala ed by the fo-ce-of eircumetar7es, 8 from ait peresaei desire. it contented itself with tnediring tlselt possessions corres- nding with those which Pruvsta has gained. The equili- Sriom of Burope required that tadomnity. byore thess duvumente it, that Austrian te-stoot at the tiie that the step she reluctantly, permiitod wa opposed to her interests. At the sesond ceived no territory at ali, and at the third, a Jy emai portion. Since, too, the years 1774 aad 1794 even Prussia bas received on'y a part of the Germap ter ritory once the prozerty of the Marrien-Ritter, the prin- cipal booty having falien to Rasela, Therefore, daring the Vienna Congrees of 1814, Prince Metternich wrote:— Of all the questions to be discussed at this Congress, the Kin, would undoubtedly consider the affair of Poland as ineompara- bly the most important to the laterests of Europe, if were be any chance that this nation, so worthy of regard by ite anu jut 1y, Ka valor, its migtorvunes, and the services it hes formerly rendered to nurope, might be restored to complete tndepen- Gence. ‘She partion, which destroyed ite existence asens- ton, was the prelude to, in some sense, the cause of the subae- quent commotions to which Kurope was exposed. Avd the Austrian plenipotontiarics, speaking in the vame of tho Emperor, after Russia had determined to keep ber hoid upon the Duchy of Warsaw, said — ‘The [conduct of the Austrian Emperer can bave left no doubt ip the mind of the allied Powers that the re-establish- went of Poland as an independent 8 al ade ministration of its own, would have fally accomplished the wishes of His Imperial Majesty, and that he would even have been » Dlag to make the greatest sucritice to promote the re storatlon of that enclent and bene: entertaining any jesiousy or anxiety as to the interference of the Polish nation with thi ‘Ausiria has never consid ered free and fadependent Poland as au inicatcal or rival Pow. er; and the principles on which bia t!lustrious jecessor act: ed, and which guided bis imperial Majesty self until the partition in 1728 and 1701, were absndoued only under the aac of circumstances which the sovereigns of Austria had it not in their power to control. Later etill, after the revolt of 1831, a circular was ad- drersed to the agents of the Austrian government at the various courts of Europe, expressing a sincere desire for the eettlement of the Polish question in tue sense of se- curing to Poland a complete independence. There ig no question, in fact, with apy profoundly think- ing mind, that Auetria is the Power most interested in the restoration of Poland. Francis Joseph I. first doclared, immediately after the battle of Santa }, that the court of Vienna could not successfully throw off the vassalage to the Czar, which has oppressed her since the beginning of this century, until the crime should have been atoned which she was eighty-five years ago a participator in committing. He has retained the same sentiments from that time, when be was a gallant boy of eighteen years of age, until tbe present hour, The Czars have made Poland a vast fortrese, a national Ssbastopol, which every art that wealth and skill conld command have united to ren- dor next to impregnable. It covers Russia, upon an ex- tent of 200 German miles, against attack from tho West; and, if the process of denationaligation were permitted to proceed as rapidly under Alexander I. as it did under Nichols, it would possesa in time a fanatical Muscovite population in place of the old inhabitants, who might be conqnered, but conld not be vanquished, Austria is kesn- ly alive to sach a state of danger to her exposed Soiavo- nic provinces, which are greedily looked at by Russia, as ihe next huge slice to be eaten out of Ceitral Exrope. Hence it ia that Francis Joseph I. is said fo have declared that the great task of modern days will be the re-creation of a united kingdom of Polan«', with a population of near- ty fifty millions of souls, which shal! grow and prozper under the protection of Germany, as tho great frontier tolwark of tho West agaicet Eastern barbarism, Dark are the clouds that hang over Europe; but, howev- er present prcepeate may seem to favor sucha achemo, mad indeed will be the chariatanism of imperial Franco, and sul more insane the barbaric civilization of Eastern Ea rope, if they attempt such a territorial division of the Continent as has been popnlarly attributed tw them in Germany within the past few years Personal Intelligence.

We have received the Corres Mercantil and Corres da Tarde, of Rio Janeiro, to the 4th of February. They con- tain advices from Rosarioto the 18th and from Montevideo to the 27th of January, from which we translate the fol- lowing:-— On the 9th of January, President Urquiza, of the Argen- tine Confederation, arrived at the capital (Rosario), ac- companied by Gen. Guido, Col. Lopez, and other dis: tinguished persone. On the following day the United States steamer Fulton arrived, having on board Commodore Shubrick and Com: missioner Bowlin, envoy to the government of Paraguay. Both visited Gen. Urquiza for the purpose of paying him their reepects. The General received them with the greatest urpanity, and had a conversation with thom, in which he made known his lively desire that a hoatile rupture between the United States and Paraguay should be avoided. The Commodore presented to the President a present, consisting of a piece of the Atlantic telegraph cable, bound with a shield of gold, on which was inscribed, “To the President of the Argentine Confederation, Geacral Justo José de Urquiza.”” General Guido has been appointed Minister Plonipoten- Wary and Envoy Extraordinary on tbe part of the Argen- tine Conferation to Paraguay. He takes with hitn his son, Don Edwardo Guido, as secretary, and will depart at once for bia post.
