On Saturday the Berlin Stock Exehange was completely frightened from its propriety by a telegram from London, asserting that Earl Russel! had sent an ultimatum to Washington requiring the federal government to relieve the ships “‘illegally”? captured by Admirat Wilkes, with a suitable compensation to the owners, and instructing Lord Lyons to ask for his passports if this demand was not complied with. The panic was universal; railway shares and (unds of al! descriptions showed an alacrity in sink- ing unparalleled since the time of the Italian war, and Deavy losses were gustained by those sanguine persons who, in spite of the gloomy aspect of the pohtical horizon, stilt continued to speculate @ la hausse. By later accounts it appears that the decided steps ascribed to the British Cabinet have not as yet been resolved upon; but the violent speech of Mr. Roebuck in the House of Commons, the cheers it was received with, and the language of the press altogether, give sufficient evidence of the spirit that pervades the governing classes of England, and have certainly not contributed to allay the apprehensions entertained by the public of an ap proaching rupture between tho two natious, Not- withstaudiog the warlike propensities of Lord Pal ‘ston, he may hesitate to engage in a conflict the Issue sh no man can foresee; but it is well known that tion of the great transatlantic republic bas favorite dream for the last quarter of a century, run he will hardly be able to resist so 1 opportunity of realizing it, Such demands ove mentioned would, infact, be equivalent to of war, It is useless to deny that the con- a in the Trent affair, whatever may by thought of the prudential motives that dictated it, has nt exactly tended to increase her prestige; and she cannot submit a second time, especially when she is so palpably in the right, without losing caste as an independent Power. It is true that a war with England would add in- ealculably to the embarrassinents which the Union is al- ready laboring under; but if it must come, sooner or later, perhaps the present moment may be as favorable for it as any other, The failure of the attack upon Charleston proves, at least, that fortresses well armed and defended are a match even for iron-clad fleets; and if the measures taken by the North for the protection of hor ports are as efficient ag those of the rebels, @he will have very little to fear {rom the British navy, while a thonsapd Northern Alabamas would be scouring ‘the seas in ail directions, and inflicting such injury on the enemy's trade that he might soon be obliged to call for quarter. Aud, besides, out of the million or so of men the federal government haye now on foot it would be strange if they could not sparo # couple of hundred thou- sand for the invasion of Canada or for a ¢filibustering” expoditign to the British West India islands, So much is certain, at any rate, that hostilities with the United States even now, when they are shorn of half thoir strength, would tax the resources of England to the utmost and effectually divert her attention from European politics. Of course this is ao additional reason why such a coutingeney is regarded with anxiety on the Continent, uae uee of England has hitherto been looked por. ay 4 Sort of counterpoise to the predominance of Ywuis Napoleon.

All he wants is a protext ; for after ail russia bas not given hita the slightest offence; hhas been even servilely obsequious in ber behavior towards him; aud now-a-days even a Louis Napolean cannot go to war without haying some plausible reason to assign for it. If, indeed, there were any foundation for the report which was current yesterday on Change, that the King had been mad enough to form an offensive and defensive alliance with the Czar, the French Emperor would be fully justi- fied in considering ita casus belli, as such a treaty could only have been concluded against himself; but in govern- ment circles it isdenied in the most positive man- mer. As yet, however, Louis Napoleon has always Deca Incky in the blunders of his opponents. There is a strong Russian party at this Court, and as the King, besides having a great affection for his nephew Alexander, abhors everything that savors of revolution, and thinks himself bound, like Lord Grey, to ‘“<gtand by bis order,”” it would not be surprising 1f this Adiosynoracy should’ hurry bim into some indiscretion, of ‘which the crafty autocrat of the Gauls will not fail to take eC. and there seems to be a kind of panse in the operations; not that the insurgents show any isconragement: but as some of the bravest lead- era have beon killed or surrendered to the Austrians, they have to reorganize their forces and select new command- By the capture of the gallant and able Padiewski thoy have suffered anothor heavy blow; for all that, their umbers are constantly on the increase, and, accordin; to the Czas, there are now no less than one hundred and fifty dilleront bands dispersed through the kingdom, whieh, taking each nt only two hundred men, would form 8 total of 30,000. The Badin Zeitung affirms that they intend to abandon their system of guerilla warfare, which has not been found to answer, and will recommence acting in large bodies; bat this is not probable, since it would be Tepeating the mistake committed by Langiewtoz, and en- able the lussians to deal them a crushing blow; whereas at present n the total destruction of one or more of the small bands remains without effect upov the general course of events, Thus, Cierzkowsi1, who was cut off and in the i tempting with his detachment of three hundred men near ( chow, has been replaced ‘by an- other corps of about the same strength, ‘under Lopacki, Jezioranski has returned from Galicia with part ‘of the troops formerly commanded by Gregowicz, and Lewandowski hes been succeeded by Lelewel, who, though driven across the frontier at Zamosz, has re-en- tered it near Sandernier. Just now the insurrection appears to be gaiving most ground in tho northwestern districts, bordering On Prussian Poland, which actually swarm with “rebels”? under the chief command of XM. do Taczanowski, one of the richostjand most influential Jandod proprietors in the province of Posen. ‘They are said to moditate an attack upon Konin, and thon to march upou Kalisch, which isa town of twelve to fifteen thousand inhabitants, and would therefore offer thom an excellent point @’appui for future operations. ‘Tue Russian garrison is about five thousand strong, but the Poles, if thoy united all the ‘separate Dands, could easily uiustcr teu thousand, and as they are tolorably well pro- vided with arms aud ammunition, which are all smuggled across the frontier from Prussia, the chances would be greatly in their favor, unless the Russians should receive Feiaiorcemente, which have been ied for most ur- ntly by the general commanding at Kalisch. 1 suspect, owover, that ail this isa mere feint of the Poles, by which the enemy is induced to concentrate his forces near Kalisch while they direct their operations against some otbor point.

Thesecond expresses the wish that peace may be restored to the kingdom of Poland, and establish Strogaroff. Tho Secretaries ot Siate for Vinland aod Po- tad, Count Armfold aud Mr. Tensky, tho assistant of tho latter, Mr. Platoaoif, aad the ex-Mimater of Justice, Count Payin, wore also preseat. Publicity is vigorously @x- cluded from the deliberations; but in an assembly com- posed of some twenty persons entire secrecy 18 out of n@ question, and by this Lime (the meeting took place on the 19th) the proceedings are perfectly weil known all over town, although they haye not found their way into the preas. If the details wo have beard are correct, the Council was divided into three parties—the party of resiat- ance, the party of compromise, and the party of sureender, a3 they are tauntingly styled by their adversaries. The chief spokesman of the Oirst was old Count Adlerberg, the only minister now remainiag who was in office under the Emperor Nicholas. The gist of his remarks was that France, at all events, was plainly determined to pick a quarrel with Russia; that the more concessions we mado the more she would be emboldened to persist ber in recia mations, that a point must arise beyond which we could not recede, and that as ultimately we sould have tofight for it, wa might as well do so at once, without debasing ourselves By fruitless efforts to stave off the evil day. We might depend, be sald, upon the co-operation of Prussia, and if it became evident that the struggle was between revolution on the one hand and established orderontheother, Austria would not be slow in joining us; while England, though sho would doubUless be giad to seo Russia weakened, would not again play, the part of bottle holder to Napoleon iI. Tam informed that Grand Duke Nicholas was the only member of the Council who seconded these views, but the young Cezarevitch is said to have looked his ap- proval. Tho Minister of the Intertor, Mr. Valuyoff, epoke im an entirely opposite sense, and was supported by Messrs. Renterm, Golovain and Leusky. He said that, as long as Poland continued disaffected, she would always be a source of uneasiness to Russia. that the system of ropression bad broken down, that half measures would have still less offect, and that no alternative’was left, in the interest both of Russia and of Poland, but to rest ore the constitution of 1815. By so doing we should enlist public opinion on ona side, and France would not thea venture to attack us. ‘The juste milieu de- murred to these views as much as to those of Count Adlerburg. The constitation of 1815, they ob- served, included a national Polish army, to grant which would be an act of suicide ou our part; for was it to be expected that the Poles would then rest satisfied with the limits assigned them at the Congress of Vienna? Would not the tirst use they made of their army be to re- Lithuania, perhaps even tho volved in a struggle with them auch more dangerous Besides, with the exception of Eng. land, none of the Powers uttered a word about the con- stitution of 1815, and to re-establish it would be for Russia to do more than was required of her. On the other hand, it was gratuitous to suppose that tne French government desired war. No doubt there were parties in France who did; but there was no evidence to show that the government was implicated in these ma- chinations. The action of France in the Polish question was to be regretted, since it disturbed the amicable rela- tious that had subsisted of late years between the two instead of appeasing it; but her language was temperate At all events, it was satisfactory arrangement by peaceful negotiation. ‘The Council broke up without coming at any definite It is thought that the effect of this will be to detach Austria from the coalition, and that if, deapite all our con- cesgions, we should be forced intoa war, we shall only have to deat with the French. England, it is still hoped, will remain neutral, and ‘Turkey is too much occu. pied with her own unruly subjects to take any part in the fray; but tho attitude of Sweden inspires serious apprehensions, and there can be little doubt that, in the event of a war, she would be tound side by side with France. Her Foreign Minister, Count Mandusturn, is friendly to Russia, and his action in the Ward Jackson affair has been bighly satisfactory. But the young King, Charles XV., has something of the spirit of Charles XIl., and the prospect of reconquering Finland cannot fail to rouse his ambition, As for hisal declaration about joining France with an army of 100,000 men, if not ‘apocryphal, it is simply ridiculous, as his whole military foroe does not amount to more than 30,000; nevertheless, the desent in Finland of even so smali a corps would be an awkward affair, for, although if the inhabitants of that principality, not above twelve per cent (185,000 out of 1,650,000) are of Swedish origin, and the rest belong to quite a different race, they are connected with Sweden by so many bonds, both historical and religious, that it is impossible to tell what effect the apparition of a Swedish army might have upon them, However, our government is prepared for the worst. The vicinity of ‘inland to the capital will render it easy to collect a large force there at the shortest notice, and it is to be presumed that Goneral Todleben, who has lately visited Svcaborg, ‘will take care that the defences of that Strgpghold are in proper order. 16 feeling here against Franco is exceedingly strong, and is sbared in by ali classes of the population.

M. 1 Baron—On tne morning of nG, April 14, 1863, the 6th (17th) of April of a despateh from Her Britannic Majesty’s Principat kingdom of Poland. ‘The first part of this document is devoted vo a retro- on a lasting basis. I will reply to these two points of Lord Russell’s despatch, As regards the question of right, Her britannic Majesty’s Principal Secretary of Stato reproduces the argumcats already recorded in his despatch of the 2d of Marob. I can, therefore, refer to the observations which I then made to the Ambassador of Fogland, ‘The government of her Britannic Majesty takes a post- tion on ground where the Imperial Cabinet will never hesitate to meet tt—that of treaties. Nevertheless, it is hore a question less of the text than of the interpretation of treatic We have the right not to admit without reservation every interpretation which itmight be wished to give them. Lora Russell says in his despatch that, by article 1 of the General act signed at Vienna, the 28th of May (9th of June), 1816, “the Duchy of Warsaw was erected into a kingdom of Poland, to be inseparably attached to the Empire of Russia under certain conditions.” Now, this what the act of Congress of Vienna stipu- lates in respect to those conditions: Poles, subjects of Russia, Austria and Prussia respoc- tively, Shall onjoy representation and shall obtain national institutions to be determined in conformity with the po- litical existence which each of the governments to which they belong shall consider it useful and expedient to grant to them. ‘The Emperor Alexander I. developed these principles in accordance with his personal views. He granted to Poland the constitution of the 12th (24th) of December, 1815. It was a spontaneous act his sovereign will, and it did not constitute an irrevocable engagement to- wards foreign Powers, inasmuch as the act of the con- stitution, posterior to the Treaty of Vienna, was not even communicated to them. Lord Russell contests the principle according to which the revolt of Poland in 1830, having resulted in the de- claration of the forfeiture of the sovereign dynasty, should be held to annul the bases of political existence granted in virtue of the act of Vienna. Although history bas more than once confirmed this conclusion of natural right, theory may afford matter for controversy. We think it may be laid down that if the revolt does not invalidate the national engagements, it,at any rate annuls the spontaneous development of thetn which had been generously added, and which have led to fatal results to Poland and to Russia. But the principal Secretary of State of her Britannic Majesty gives to this argument. prominent place in bis despatch, while I bad only incidentally put it forward iv the course of my conversation with Lord Napier. The English Ambassador alludes to it in the following terme in the despatch which he bad the goodness to com- municate to me:— Gortchakoff also said to me that, desiring to in a npirit of conciliation and Sumani, ‘othe ‘ap argument which lay at bis dis- conquest, ane ‘employin abatalnat of Uae Tight Of Moreover everything has been said on both sides in this discussion, and to prolong it on that gronnd would be a task. second part of Lotd Russel?’s Gerpatch, master is to arrive at ‘We asguime that such is also the desife ‘of is to ace assured to the kingdom of Polang the repose and welfare which are the objects of the ude of hie Ma.

Of course, it secured for him a favorable reception, Here he repeated bis inquiries about steamers he in- tended building; but here algo, having made the tour of the yard, he speedily diverged to other topics, asking many questions foroign to the pretended matter in hand, evidencing 60 much anxiety to acquire 1 articulars of. what was doing in the yard as to raisc suspicions and stultify his real object. On Thursday the gallant and persevering gentleman visited the yard of the Messrs. Stephen, at Kelvinhwugh. Here he once more produced his credentials, and was allowed a survey of the yard. His attention was partic ularly arrested by a large vessel of wood and iron which the Messrs, Stephen are prosently constructing. Ho was most pertinacious in his inquiries about it—#o pertins- cious that he quite overdid his part, and led Mr. Stephen, who accompanied him, to suspect and play with him. Feeling probably that he bad been held off, and alike piqued and chagrined by the circumstance, ho re- appeared on Saturday—the bearer this time of a second lotter, indited by 4 gentleman in town; under cover of which, after dilating for some time upon his Sav Francisco pur] aud prospects, he renewed, foreign States, Russia ia too directly interested in the tranquillity of Poland not to understand the duties of her position to- wards other nations.
