fa . at that Prussia remains in alliance with Austria , and that Jointly "with tliat pdWeir s % 6 still is ^ aLliance yriih . the West , ' stamps the worst ciaxactep upon the continuance of the relations that she maintains at St . Petersburg ; If the King had broken with the Czar , he would proclaim the fact ; bofc he has hot done so ; his Ministers are resigning one after another , or are dismissed ; and it is generally understood that tlteir retireihehfc is caused by their dislike to the Court policy , which is bound up with , family connexions in St . Petersburg . This severance betweea the Court and th' e
4 USr ^ tA is moving in a manner which , excites JPL great , curiosity and interest . Her actions .. are interpreted as implying that she is preparing without delay to abandon her passive position between Russia and the West , and to take an active course against the G pir . { . ih&t she is actually beginning iliat , immense , ingratitude whict Prince Schwarzenberg proposed . ' . This popular interpretation is CQnjirjned by more authentic explanations . We anaerstand that our own Government has good ground for continuing its trust in Austria 5 grounds partly , stated by the Times on Thursday . The movements of Bussia have been made to turn
upon Moldavia , more than upon the Danube ; they resemble those taken up in the early part of 1849 , before the Russian intervention in Hungary ; and they command the passes of the Carpathians . The army is so placed that it could march into Wallachia southwards , or Gallicia northwards . Instead of the troops in Bulgaria being reinforced ,
Poland is strengthened by the Russians ; and , in short , the frontier of Austria is threatened by the same power which re-conquered Hungary for the Austrian Emperor . Austria responds by raising a fresh force of . , 000 men , placing it under General Schilders , and hastening it to tbe frontiers of G-allicia .
Nor is it only on . the Austrian frontier that Russia is Active : in Greece conspiracy with Russia is scarcely concealed ; and it is evident that the Western Powers , besides such measures as sending a new note of peremptory tone , arc taking steps to compel right behaviour on the part of the little kingdom which the Western Powers manufactured on classic ground , and gave in keeping to a German cadet . The Moniieur recounts the debts which Greece owes to France and England ,
besides the least of those debts —the loan . The insurrection which has been checked in one part breaks out in another ; it has spread to Salonica and Thessaly , and the Prince of Montenegro id doing his "best to aid it . Fuad EflTendi , the Turkish commander , has obtained a real victory over the insurgents of Epirus ; but it is evident that the source of Greek insurgency and invasion is not reached by the simple victory over the insurgents and marauders .
The position of Prussia , although now mentioned as if it were quite legitimate , is in truth deserving of greater sii . sjncion than ever . The
statesmen of Prussia is notof * the ordinary party character ; for Prince William , long , regarded . distinguished alike for his martinet love of routine , his Conservatism , and his Russian connexions ; is equally dismissed with Liberal members of the Government . Prussia , therefore , keeps up a secret correspondence with St . Petersburg , and yet affects to be acting in alliance with Austria and with the TTest . If she were denounced as a spy in the camp , it would be a denunciation which hear Court has merited , and which her people have not yet had an opportunity for contradicting by their action .

31 per cent , in the month of - ^ pril . S ^ rUCttp , indifferent diet , and low spirits , are the catfeS Of tlie Russian loss . It is often said' that the , - Kttsisians stand hardship well , and it appears that bad victualling is a bad economy eyen ii ^ Russian aTtnies : convict recruits do not stand' 'service ,
a : nd slaves who have no confidence in their general easily tire and lie doim to die , With this expenditure , even Russian affluence in men must come to an end . And we can understand the difficulties that prevail at St . Petersburg , in providing for the six ox seven great posts which are becoming necessary on the frontiers of the empire .
In our own country active preparations continue unabated . The launch of one more great floating fortress , on Saturday , was a very obvious example of tliia activity ; but hy no means the most important . The " Royal ALbert , " named by the Queen on that day , floated into the water with overy promise that it will be 41 most efficient vessel . Pierced for 131 guns , and to be equjjijWB ^ - ^^^ ^ with as much speed ns completeness , it ^ i *^ BT , ^ -y ^ H " ^ a great accession to tlio Baltic fleet . ^ ^ -Cw 5 J ^<>^ ' « ' ^ 1 But infinitely more important are tll&forj ^ teiMSfiL i ' ^ K - ^ ings in Parliament . The passing of a ^ Sjlt ^ tapc jugS \ - —5 J ^ llio House of Commons , by 303 to 19 fifi iSSwK&I ^ OT S BUps taken by Ministers , < v \ dth the con <^ i ^ flre ^« ffi ^ % ^^*^ i Parliament , to embody a portion of 111 Q 1 fiofciijfr j . tvs ^ J a permanent force , to do garrison duty atM ^ jtew ^^;^ " * and relcjise larger numbers of our soldiers Tor
There are , however , evident signs that the people of Prussia , of Denmark , and some other States , are not prepared to go with their Courts in Russian intrigues ; and the fact that tbe contest between Russia and the West is becoming implicated with a contest between some Courts and the subjects of those Courts , imparts additional
interest and importance to the approachingfight . It is a matter of more than presumption that the Poles are watching the movements of their neighbours with the keenest hopes . There are reports that the Emperor of Russia talks of reviving the kingdom of Poland for a Russian cadet ; but we suspect the Poles -will not this time bo made the plaything of contending potentates .
If it is true that the greatest victories of the military general arotlioso with unseen enemies , — those in which his arms aro never engaged , —then the Russian generals on the Danube may be denounced for their signa . 1 failures . The first Napoleon and Wellington could both tell General Lii-ders that he is tho . best gen em 1 who , after a givtMi time of campaigning , or < i given number of actions , can show the largest number oi' men saved ; for to save a . life on hia own wide ia better than to Jnflict n death on the other side , in the military as -well ns the humanitarian sons * . And still more Ulii . strioiiM is the conquest over climate and hardship ,
