Prussia is not in the game predicament, and, under the rule of M. de Bismark, her policy has rather been distinguished for recklessness ‘than for Uimidity. The Premier is not a man to be terri- fied by empty threats; be knows well enough that, though | by sea, Engiand ts anything but formidable by jand, and that a fleet in the Ballic, unless it bas an army on board, could do nothing else than give alittle more effciency to a blockade which has paralyzed the mari- time commerce of Prussia indeed, but which does not seriously affect the resources of @ country the trade of which is chiefly of an inland cbaracter, and which is in possession of an extensive and carefully constructed sys- tem of railways. If, therefore, he has yielded to the it ontreatios of Augtria and consented to a suspen- sion of hostilities, it is not to be inferred from this that he is more ready for @ compromise than before. On the contrary, whatever may bave been the desigus of Prussia in the outset, it is evident that she will not retire from the contest now without baving gained something for ber trouble. Like Louis Napsieon, Bis- mark is fighting for an idea; but bis idea is Schleswig or Holstein, or both, as his prototype’s was Savoy or Nico. “The conquerors of Duppel,”’ says a government jour- nal, “will pot quit the soll they bave moisteved with thelr blood till they havo emancipated it forever from Denmark and united it with Germany.’ That Denmark will accept this solution without further resistance is hardly to be expected, and in all probability, therefore, the negotiations to be carried on during the armistice will be the préjude to a renewal of hostilities, which it will be extremely dimcult, iecumecribe within the narrow circle to which they to confined. ‘The statement that the Danes bad retreated from Frede. ricia with such precipitation that they left their guns unspiked is now retracted, or- at least greatiy modified by the official reports.

On tho 29th of April Alexander Il.,entered his forty-seyventh year; but, that boing Good Friday—which is atilia strict fast day, whon the faithful are not allowed to taste anything but bread and water—the celebration was deferred till Easter Sunday,on which day there was a grand reception at Court, accompanied with a profuse distribution of orders and numerous promotions in all the departments of State. ‘The diplomatic service has had its full share of honors, and among the first in the list we notice the name of Mr. Edward Stoeck!, Envoy Extraordinary aud Minister Plont- potentiary to the United States, who has beon raised te the rank of a Privy Councillor, which, in the civil Bierarchy of Russia, is equivalent to that of liputenant general in the army and vice admiral in the navy. The creer of this gentleman has been ao uncommonly rapid ‘and successful one,the more so as,to the best of my knowledge, bo has no family connections in Russia, and is of quite an obscure, not to say humble, origin. Ihave heard say that bis father, a native of Swabia, came to ‘St. Petersburg as a journeyman baker; but I cannot vouch for the correctness of this statement. So much is cer- tain, that about eighteen years back he was a simple attache to the legation at Washington under the late Mr, Bodiseo, and after serving in that capacity for some years was promoted to be accretary. On the death of Bodiaco, early to 1854, Count Alexander Modern was ap- pointed ambassador in Washington, and Mr. Stoeckl received the honorable but very insignificant post of Con- sul General at the Sandwich {elands. Just at that time, however, the Oriental war broke out, and it became of the highest importance for Russia to have someone as her representative in the United States who was woll acquainted with the country and its loading politt- cians, and might enjoy some of the influence that ‘was possessed by Mr. Rodisco, who, from his long resi- dence in America and his marriage with one of your charming countrywomen, was looked upon by your peo- ple as almost one of themselves, Instead of being shipped off to Oorenate therefore, Mr. Stoeck! remaived at Wash- ington in character of charge d’affairs, d, although be did not succeed in inducing America to assist us in our roggie with the Western Powers otherwise than by a friendly peutrality,” governt it was so well satis! with bis conduct that at the close of the war he was con- firmed as minister. Since the commencement of your unfortul internal dissensions he hks come -more protatoently ‘before the public, and it is ¢o the diplomatic activity he has displayed since then that he nndoubiediy ry of Legation (Davidoff) has received the cross of St. Stanislaus, and the Consul General in New York (Baron Osten-Sacken) has been made a Councillor of State, rd As soon as tho weather gets a little milder (this morn- ing the thermometer was under freezing point) the Em Peror and Empress set out for the baths of Kissinger, which her Majesty, who is ina very indifferent state of health, has been ordered to take, and where it ts be |, eved they will be met by the Emperor and Empreks of Austria and the King and Queen of Prussia, This re- uvion, though ostensibly not of a political character, is certainly not without political significance, and shows: very pluinty that the three great Eastern m°narche are on better terma than they were a short time since. Our cordial understanding with Prussia, indeed, baa beon slightly diminished by diversity of views on the Danish question; but the relations with Austria are very differ- ent to what they were at the beginning of the Polish in- surrection. She has now found out that by encouraging the revolution she was playing a game by which she was likely to be the greatest gufferer, and effect of this discovery has been a radical fo her policy. Tho state of siege In Gallicia is enfor: with a Hier which Movuravieff or Bey could not e }, and, instead of UrpaRS, i winking at thepassage of insurgents across the border, they are , disarmed and lodged in prison, or given up to the Russian authorities if found to be subjects of Rassia This ts the sccond time that Austria has flat- tered the Polcs with delusive hopes and then teit them in the lurch; the first in 1831, w! ber conduct was 20 ambiguous that Emperor Nicholas was very near declar- ing war on her, and could only be appeased by the most abject submission on the part of Prince Metternich. But in this respect the Austrian statesmen are incorrigible; they cannot beip intriguing. though they seldom derive re | ‘dvenedt from their intrigues, aod often get into difl- culties through them which they wonld have avoided by purming ‘@ more straightforward policy.

No one has any idea of what will come of all this; but if the finances remain in such hands national dank- raptcy ts inevitable. A good minister of finance would be worth a province jnst now, but where is he to be had? General Chafller, to whom the portfolio, was offered some time ago, said, very truly, that under tho present circumstances vo one but a genius ora madman could accept it, and that as he was: neither he was obliged to decline the offer. Genivses, unfortunately, are rare; but perhaps it would be preferable to have a madman than ap im! le, like Mr. Hern, or a clever stockjobber, like Baron bere ne who keeps oa oe own private fortune while the State id beng rui Inthe Fropch and English papers we bad accounts from Constantinople stating that a great battic had been fepght between the Russians and Circassians, in which the former bad lost fifteen hundred and tho latter two thousand men, and in consequence of which the Circrs- sians had laid down their arms on condition of being al- lowed to emigrate to Turkey; that five Turkish vessels bad been gent to take the first lot on board; that 1/0 000 wore to follow, &o., &c. Like all Cirosssian news ttmt reaches W. Z by way of Constantinople, these ‘accounts contain a few grains of truth mixed up with a ‘vast deal of fiction—something in the pre ion of the bread to Falstafs eack. The battle is a myth. There have been one or two inconsiderable skirmishos , which have resulted in the submission of the Ubikhs, the last tribe of Circassians, who still held out, and who bavo been driven from one mountain crest to the other by the ual advance of General Endakeinoff, til! they could retreat no farther. If they wish to emigrate to Turkey, the Russian government will not hinder them, o« it ts glad to get rid of such troublesome subjects; but no formal agreement has been concluded about it, and the emigrants will certainly not amount to one buodred and fifty thousand at the jong and sancuinary the Cancagus ie thus at an end can the pacification of Eastern Caucassia, this was mcroly & question of time, as every one knew who did vot de rive bis knowledge of these regions from such sources a8 the Constantinople correspondents of the Freoch and English prese. inhabitants of the Western chain of mountains are © much less warlike rece than those of the Kast.
