    PRUSSIAN POLITICS . The-manner iu which the Queen has been everywhere received in Germany , but especially in Prussia , naturally tends to reawaken feelings of sympathy and goodwill towards a country about whose sentiments we have not of late given ourselves perhaps as much concern as we once were wont to do . We are no friends to Germanising tendencies and leanings in the conduct of our domestic affairs ; and we should be extremely sorry to see family connexions between the royal houses of Brunswick and Brandenburg become the cause of suspicion among our Prussian neighbours that the English Court desired to meddle in matters with which it has and ought to have nothing to do . But iu the choice of national alliances we cannot but be sensible of the many points of coincidence , and the few of repulsion , that exist between us and the people of Northern Germany . Come of the same vigorous stock , reared amid a world of ideas , associations , and traditions in common , and , though hitherto far separated on the path of political progress , animated by the same love of free thought , free conscience , and free speech , it is only to be regretted that we have not practically known more of one another in days gone by . We pause not here to examine into

    the various circumstances that have contributed thereto . It is pleasanter to l < pk forward to a different state of tilings , such as we believe to be at hand . In view of the sinister eventualities that are supposed by many to overhang the peace and safety of Europe , it is clear that Prussia , like Sardinia and Sweden , would be our natural ally . And if . painful recollections of Prussia ' s isolation arid neutrality in the late war still haunt the minds of many amongst us , let it be remembered that the temporising and ignominious course then complained of was undeniably occasioned by the subtle folly of one whose ' infirmity of purpose and of intellect is never likely again to cause grief and humiliation to his people . King Frederick William has for out siuuuuv

    many mourns oeen siowiy , , smwiig < uw a state of hopeless imbecility . At intervals there still nro gleams of that cultivated and imaginative intelligence from which so much was anticipated twenty years ago , but the intervals grow rarer and more transitory ; the fine perceptions of artistic and natural beauty in which he once delighted seem one after another to have been numbed ; and tho appetite for dialectics and diplomacy formerl y insatiable appears to bo altogether lost . Tho unhappy monarch is said to be at times apparently quite conscious of his physical and mental inability to discharge tho active duties of his station ; and ho has readily consented to renew tho act delegating his authority for the space of three months to Ins brother , tho father-in-law of our

    youthiul Princess . JLJui . to every suggestion of a formal regenoy ho is obdurately deaf , lor the most part , ho seoms incapable of understanding what is meant ; and this , which was at first imputed to the sort of cunning sp often characteristic of insanity , is now ascribed rather to the gcnoral dcoay of the intellect , painfully obvious in regard to Jess porplexing subjects . Of recovery there is no sign , and tho necessity of the case will ore long oonipe tho adoption of some public measure which sual

    ^ r Leader Office , Saturday , September 4 tb-INDIA . [ B Bombay mail has arrived , bringing intelligence to i 4 th August . There is but little additional new * of portance . On the 5 th July Captain Rattray defeated Judder ig's force at Kusma , killing a great number . Sir Hope Grant left Lucknow on the 21 st July , * hh strong force , to relieve Maun Sing , and occtfpy zabad . \ . small body of troops from Allahabad , under Colonel rkley , which had moved across the Ganges , had 0 « cded in capturing several of the enemy ' s strongholds . Fort near Suraon , occupied by 700 rebels , was carried , I all the garrison put to the sword . Hie force which the Begum was organising at Boondee i is unable to retain , the men deserting in large mbers , leaving their arms behind them . It is con-; ntly stated that tho miscreant Nana has been comled , by extreme straits , to sell his famous ruby of ulous value to a native banker for 10 , 000 rupees . Fho Bombay Times says : — " The for gory of tho O"do nesty affords a fair indication of the lengths to which i party opposed to Lord Canning in this country is ipared to carry- its hostility . The pscudo-procla"i « - n appeared first in tho columns of tho Bombay Gazette , i was so perfect an imitation of Lord Canning ' s for ^ or nifcato , that hid friends and enemies alike supposed it iiiine , " Sun-stroke has been terribly destructive to r men and officers . It ia calculated by the Friend <\ f Ua that 40 , 000 Europeans have already fallen victims tho Indian war ; but wo trust this is an exaggeration . Is calculated that Lord Clyde will bo able to commence ) cold weather campaign with 46 , 000 European and , 000 Sikh troops in Bengal alone .
