Oct 14?dtf ' THE POLITICAL STATE OF EUROPE. CIhxUI CorrwiKiniltfBbe of the I'uiuu ) VlKXNA, Oct. 12, 18.">8. The succession of the Prittco of Prussia to the government, with royal power, has produced a very agreeable impression here, and hopes are now entertained that a different policy will be adopted in Ilcrlin towards A nutria and the States of the Zoll-vereut. It is not expected, except by some very sanguineus persons, that Prussia will change her relations tut regards Hussia, or rush from the embrace of the Czar to that of Lords Derby or MaliHesbury. The ties of blood between Itussia and Prussia are __ i I L?.._l i I I {111 LI (It* ttUUItg UN UCIWOCII I I uasiu aim r-ni^iuini, aim England is not so near a neighbor of Prussia as Bussia. Nevertheless, it is believed here, in diplomatic cifclesi that the Prince of Prussia will adopt a more indepbodent course?oue which shall he more national and throw fewer obstacles in the wajr of a more perfect federal union ot Germany. It is well known that the coterie, which surrounds the Krenzzeituiig, and is known as the ultra aristocratic (not royalist) party, opposed both the absolute regency of the Prince of Prussia and a friendly approach towards Austria. This party wanted a mixed regency, which would have para ly/.ed the power and energy of the Prince of Prussia, and rendered him an Instrument in the hands of designing men. The Prince, with the firmness and nobility of character which he Is known to possess, refused to be any longer the mere mandatory of a coterie composed of subjects; being; as the next legitimate heir to the throne, designated hy article f>t? of the constitution as the person exclusively called upon to exercise the royal power. The Prince, from delicacy anil respect for his brother, the King, consented to be for one year the mere executor of that which appeared to l>e the royal will, without participating himself in the government of the country, hut distinctly declared that lie would not continue to play a part so unworthy of himself longer than the '-'.'Id of October, 1H58 ?a resolution which was hailed throughout Prussia, and 1 may add throughout Germany, with unfeigned satisfaction and pleasure. The people of Prussia wanted to know by whom they wore governed, and their affection, an is usual in all monarchies, naturally turned toward the legitimate heir to the throne. With that sentiment well known and understood, it was impossible to puss the 23d of October without definitely settling the Hegency. If the illness of tinKing continued (and the physicians gave no hope whatever of his recovery) the States must be called together, and it would have been a dangerous precedent to allow i'llrliaineiit to decide whether the King is disqualified to carry on the government. A compromise, therefore, was effected. The King appointed his brother, tho Prince of Prussia, by his own free, sovereign will, sole Regent, ' with no other responsibility than to God," till lie himself should be able to resume the government. The Prince accepted the appointment with reference to paragraph 5G of the constitution, and called an extraordinary session of tho Chambers to meet on the 20th ol' this month at Berlin. This is merely to satisfy the requirements of the constitution ; for the Prince li'lM liovor lumii uuiialtArl tvifii (hn i.uiniini' in urliit'li the last Chamber was elected, and llerr ^^ol^ Westphalen, the late Minister of the Interior, who had been the ministerial manager of those elections, tVihnn it expedient to tender at once liis resignation. It is not likely, therefore, that the old Chambers will he long in session, lntt it is quite certain that the elections of the new one, which are about to take place, will afford greater scope for the expression ot the popular will. The I'rincc of Prussia is not a liberal ; his early surroundings, his education, and his military prop unities rather giving him an impulse in an opposite direction ; but it so happens that the liberal party in Prussia has been most devoted to his person, and that the ami-liberals opposed his absolute accession to the government. Thus new relations have been created and new sympathies awakened, which may not bo without serious influence upon the development and progress of the country. between Austria and Prussia there has not been a cordial good understanding since the events of JHtrc From that period, throughout the Russian war, up to this very moment, Austria and Prussia have been rival powers. Previous to that period, Prussia was the favorite of the liberal party in Germany ; strange to say, since the last revolutions in Kurope, Austria has occupied that position, an:l were it not for the Concordat, would have gained on Prussia, even in tho Protestant States of Germany. The very misfortunes of Austria seem to have created sympathies in her favor. Austria, made wiser by tiie revolution of 1848, has introduced many radical reforms in her government. She hue protected commerce and manufactures and emancipated the peasantry throughout her provinces Hut, above all things, she has endeavored to Germanize her Hungarian and Sclavonic provinces, and for that purpose assimilated her government to the States of the Germanic confederation. She asked to join the Zy/l vtrein, remodelled her coinage, and, ai the Diet at Frankfort, took the lead in all question!tiiir* tn Mm intnpritv aiwl ttnwor nl' llw? confederation. In all theso things she pursued tlic very reverse of (ho policy adhered to during the administration of the government hy 1'rinco Metternich, and the one most acceptable to the liberal party in (iennuny. J tut in proportion as Austria gained in public opinion she lost with a certain reactionary party in Germany, which surrounded the person ol the King of I'russiu. In the Russian war, at the conferences in I'aris, in the ihiuiihinti principalities, in Italy, in Switzerland, and in all the questions relating to the Zall-verein, Austria and Prussia occupied positions more or less opposed to each other, and (his species of dualism rendered it impossible for Germany, in any of the important questions which have agitated Hurope for the last ten years, to throw her weight?the weight of seventy millions of people?in the balance ol' power. This state of things it is now hoped in Vienna will cease with the accession of the Prince of Prussia to the government. Prussia, they say, will come to a better understanding with Austria without changing her relations toward Russia ; because "Austria herself lias ceased to occupy a hostile position toward tha t power. The tone ol the officious press of Austria has recently Undergone a great change in regard to Russia, and it has always been favorable to tbo absolute jiowcr of the Prince of Prussia. 1 should, indeed, not bo surprised if before many months the former relations of Russia, Austria and Prussia were to be entirely re-established and this, notwithstanding the enmity of the Brussels A'on/ toward Austria, and the acquisition by Russia of tiiv Sardinian port of Villafraiiea. The power which is most active in detaching Prussia from Russia, ami inducing a more intimate apnronch between Austria and Prussia, is Kmrland : because between her and liussia there exists :i hereditary feud, based on a material conflict which has commenced, but not ended, with the late war. In the event of the dismemberment of Turkey, Austria claims but a modest part as her share, extending, ill all probability, not beyond tho Danubiati principalities and tho entire west coast of the Adriatic; while England, by every extension of Russia into Asia Minor, can see nothing but danger ami trouble to her Asiatic colonies. With Austria, Hus sin may treat and come to an amicable understand ing; with England, never! Hence tho effort ol h eat Britain to re-establish friendly relations between Austria and Prussia; although, in regard tc the Zoll-verein, the commercial and lnnnufucturiuit policy of England interferes as usual with the mor< enlightened views of her statesmen. England cannot solve oviry great question of national politics ii reference to calico, unless Sidney Hmiili was rigli wlien he said that iho mission of the Anglo-Saxoi race was the manufacture of that article ; and cannii expect devotion from nations whose friendship six only seeks to secure a market. England, to he pop ulai in Austria, must <l< v< loj> u mure liberal j><>iii in regard to tlie Isthmus ofSueS, anil not, directly or indirectly, oppose, but rather encourage, tlie admission of Austria into the German Zoll-verein. 1'nless that measure is accomplislio I, no uniforni policy can be udopted in Germany, and no concert of action Hecurcd to aid and comfort Kngland in another conllicl with hor great Asiatic rivalIt is not likely that, with tlie above-mentioned exception of the Minister of the Interior, any change will, for the proHcnt, he made in the cabinet of Merlin. Oilier changes are, nevertheless, expected, and even the names mentioned which are to he substituted for those of tho present incumbents. A deep interest is taken here in all these matters, and the Austriuii ministry is constantly informed of every rumor which circulates in Merlin. What is hoped here is, that Baron Man tenth.-1 may not continue at the head of foreign relations, lie has shown himself no friend of Austria, and the bitterest articles against Austrian polity's hate appeared in the Berlin " Zeit," Baron MaiiteuitcTs setrti-oftlciul organ. The Prince of I'rttssis will, hi itll probability, not change his present ministers till the rtlcetifi'g of the new Chambers, when the composition of the lower house will be a Hullicieut constitutional justification of such a obaflgc. .Mons.de ndabine, the new Russian minister here, is now perfectly Installed, and will, it is hoped, liud his stay in Vienna an agreeable one. Ho will receive cvm-v :lIIo!11i(ill due lo bis liich rank and the court he has the honor to represent. If Count Kstorhazy is half as w ell treated i?! Ft. Petersburg a partial reconciliation; lit least, h'etwobn ffttssitt and Austria cannot be far distant. In the matter of the Stude dues, in regsfd to illicit Kuglund bus just notified Hanover that hIio must slate the condition on which (die is ready to consent to their entire abolition, Austria takes a very lively interest. Austria is for abolishing all rivertines and all transit duties, and to facilitate commerce and navigation in every direction. .She wants trade with the United States, with brazil, tt itli India, and she would, had she the moans, establish steam commuiil cations with all those countries. Considering the still shattered state of her finances, and the efforts she is obliged to make to sustain her public credit, or rather to regain it, in the consideration of the commercial world, the courage and energy of the statesmen who have undertaken that dillicult task deserve every honorable acknowledgment. An attempt is now making to induce Croat. Britain to code the Ionian islands to the King of Greece ; hut whether it will succeed is quite another question. Of course, it is expected that Kriglatid will, in any event, retain the island of Corfu, winch she requires as a naval station i hut that the other islands, Which are of little iuiportanoe to her, either in a commercial or maritime point of view, ihtty he uUceittoFc united to tlio Morca. The British governnieiit llaft never been very popular in the Ionian islands, and political offenders were there almost as harshly treated as they were in Naples and other parts of Italy. I Sritish liberty is an inestimable boon ; hut it has rarely been enjoyed except by British-horn subjects. Knglaud has too many adopted children to treat them all with the same kindness. The Ionian islands, with a population in whose hearts the memory of tormcr days is not yet entirely obliterated, are not as well treated as the British West India islands, or'any other British colony I can think of. I am no advocate of the Greek, gdvctnttlentj and 1 am not prepared 16 say that the British government of the Ionian islands is not hotter than that of the Morea; hilt I do say, without fear of contradiction, that the desire for national independence and national union .' is inseparable from the aspirations of a civilized peoj pie, under whatever circumstances it may he placed, j What exile is to un individual, that is the govtrninentof foreigners to a whole nation. F. .). (i. Vienna, Oct. 17, 1858. The influence of the new rtginii in Prussia is already perceptible, and great hopes are now entertained here that the painful alienations between the courts of Berlin and Vienna have reached their trrntniM. 11 is now positively assorted, even by the highest ofticials, that Prussia lias withdrawn her en| tiro opposition to the abolition of the train-it duties, and that, the objections of Wurtemburg and Bavaria j having been previously withdrawn, that measure 1 ! will again be urged and accepted l?y all the ticiniun : Stales. This is the first practical Htcp toward a com1 incrcial union of all the Ueruiau States, including Austria, and little iloiilds art* now entertained but I that Austria, at the period tixed upon in the treaty ' | of l!tth February, 1853?that is, in 18(!0?will fol 1 : lUully join the Z'til-verciit. This was confidently expected from the Prince of Prussia, who, whatever his monarchical predilections, is certainly in favor of national union and independence. Austria is very anxious for this union, for reasons stated in my former ' letters, and quite ready for some heavy financial and commercial sacrifices to accomplish it. Austria lias entirely abandoned the exclusive system in commerce and diplomacy, and lias now no higher national am' [ bition than being called a German State, and not, sis heretofore, a conglomerate of provinces belonging to 1 the llouse of llapsburg. It is generally believed hero that the Prince of t Prussia will change bis cabinet, and that liaron von Manteull'el will henceforth be content with being 1 chief of the royal council without portfolio. Other changes are also confidently expected. As to the diplomatic representation of Prussia abroad, it is certain to undergo a thorough change, inasmuch as a great many vacancies, partially created by resignations. have to bo filled. There are now vacancies in the Prussian corps iliplwnaiii/ur. in Constantinople, Vienna, Itrusscls, Hern, in Switzerland, Baden, Munich, Stuttgart, and Darmstadt, besides many consuls general in America and Asia. Whether removals will take place will depend on the change of policy to be adopted, and on personal considerations which may prevail with the Prince Regent. While the people there are rejoiced at the new ' Prussian programme, indications point to further j complications with Russia and France. It is certain 1 that neither France nor Russia Iiuh surrendered the 1 idea tlint Montenegro ought to have a port in the Adriatic; in other words, that the frontier between Montenegro and Turkey ought to be extended to the sea. But to give Prince D.uiilo a port in the Adriatic is tantamount to giving Russia a port in that sea, and a port in the Adriatic is another port in the Meditcr raucau of far more consequence, in time of peace or war, than the coal station, as diplomatists have baptised it, which Russia lias acquired at Villafraiica. Certain Russian organs already state that Prince Mamie has only two reliable allies- the Finperor Ale.xuudoi If ant! the Finperor Napoleon 111. In view nl this new cloud, the approach between Austria and Prussia may be called a historical event, and is appreciated as such throughout Kurope. If Austria were now isolated, her position would be more than critical, inasmuch as Turkey is incapable of making any resistance, and would, beyond a doubt, do whatever the majority of the live great powers would <le monrl nf l??>r The new relations which may spring up between Austria and Prussia are significant, ami may change the status qua in Europe. It an entente cortliale were to be established between the two leading powers of (Jermany, backed as it would be by the eighteen millions ot' people composing the smaller Elates, England may behold a new lield for her diplomacy, I and a profitable investment of her political capital, Whatever Hritish statesmen may say, or cause to he printed, certain it is that England in the present enf tenle cordnile between the two great western powers . of Europe, has played a secondary part?that Erance i lias led, while England has followed, and that the ; J'i'te- at Cherbourg, which were honored by the pres) cnce oi' the (Jueen, have not elevated the position ol England in the eyes of the civilized world. England i some twelve months ago, might have been disposed I to stand by Austria in the Turkish question ; bill t Austria could only answer for herself, and was vnl t ncrablc in Italy. II, on the contrary, Austria now , have not only the sympathy, but the co-operation o| - Prussia and the Herman States to rely upon in case Dl a new general war, men mn <ii|iiuiii<.vj u? ..u^ land may go a step further, and declare openly for an alliance with the ( criiiun powers as more in accordance with her position and historical recollections.

Between Vienna and Milan there seem to exist lmt | I official relations, in spite in tne very uiipiu mm < <>n I cession the Emperor <>f Austria has made to his I.< m u j hard subjects. Alining tlm arrivals here you hardly J notice an Italian name, while (lie town in lull of linn I garians, Moravians. Bohemians, Ac.

The rumors and statements in the newspaper^ thai Archduke .Maximilian means tosurrender the Vice Royalty of tlie kingdom of Lomhardy and Venice has no foundation Intact. Ori the contrary, the Archduke will hold his regular court in .Milan, and make it as attractive to the nobles of that kingdom as possible ; but it will require years of good government and of conciliatory, liberal holies towards the people and the nobles before the Lombards will be able patiently to bear vHi&t they call the Austrian yoke. Some Ctf the nobles may be attendants ori the Archduke Maximilian; few will visit the HVrtperor'fl court at Vienna. The German and Belgian press Wade a positive statement the other day that the Neapolitan miif'Ster here received a despatch from his government in relation to tlm dillicultii's now, and for some time, ex isting between ?fapl"* slid the western powers, (England and France,) wlu'ch' despatch lie was order- ' ed to read to Count Buol-Schaueiwtein, the Austrian Secrolary for Foreign A hairs. This is entirely false. No such despatch was received, and Austria has carefully abstained from taking sides in this quarrel. ( Her tulvict to Naples has always been coucdiatory ; but it liaH not been heeded, and mutters remain as unsettled as ever. It really seems to be the object , of European iliplonintei to keep as inflti* MUestions j open as possible, in order, at a future rupture, to f , settle many things at once. The greater the stakes, j the more vehement will lie the struggle. The preparations of the Hank of Austria to resume | specie payments are complete, and coin is pouring j i into the country from nil quarters. i'urtially specie | payfrtcutS art! already restiiited by tin- bank, in anti- ! cipation of the period Ibled by law, and it is now > liiglily probable the redemption of its notes will go : ! on without interruption. So great lies been the inHex of the precious metals into Austria IliiU the Hanks of Berlin and Frankfort have been obliged to raise their discount to ft per cent., although money is a drug in London and discount in Hamburg as low i us 2 per cent. Of course, tlie transition from a pa- ' per currency to specie is not an easy one, and inns! necessarily lead to momentary embarrassments and stringency in the money market. It is supposed that the bank, to protect itself will diminish its is- i . sues some 1(1 or ft(l million* of 'Wins, and, In eonse' qtioiice, also its loans. This will prove ificonvej nient to the merchants, and there will occur some failures ; hut tliis is as nothing when compared to the dMimiiiiL' eoiiHf.uieiu es to tile oronoeritv of alt clauses, ami even to public morals of an irredcema hie paper currency. The Petersburg!! Academy of Hcieuces furnished i some information in regard to the Amoor river. A ! town, hn you are aware, is to he built at the bend of the river to Castries bay. The town is laid out oil a magnificent scale; the principal street being several rci'iti long. A mad in to bo built from tin- town to the bay, which will not be over ill! versta long, while j the navigation coastwise, and following the bed of the river, in some 500 or GOO versts. Castries hay, however, is frozen some live months in the year ; while the more southern port of tit. Vladimir is only frozen over one month of tin' year. The winters near the bend of the river, where the town is to be ; built, are described as very severe. This might have been taken for granted, as tin: eastern exposures of all continents are colder than the western exposures, ! the isothermal latitudes showing n difference of about ten degress. The northern islands <>1* the <luj paneso empire are almost ttninhahilul.de, though ev1 ery species of cereals are raised in the same latitudes in Europe. The Emperor of Russia, however, | is determined to have a strong foothold oil the North I Pacific ocean, until he shall acquire one or two coal; ing stations from his celestial neighbors, in a more I southerly direction. The severity of the climate will naturally induce the Bettlers 011 ihc Amoor to einij grate, and the Chinese government will have 110 means of repelling the invaders. The Emperor of the French has returned from the Camp of Chalons, hut, though it is quite likely that the Emperor Alexander will pay hint a visit, it will not he before next spring. The manifestations of some of the oldest Polish families, and even the people, toward l'rinee Napoleon, (who bears u striking resemblance to Ins imperial uncle,) at Warsaw, were | not calculated to edify tile Emperor of Russia, and, but for the well-known urbanity and generosity of that sovereign, might have been attended by serious consequences. The Polish party, which hardly extends beyond Warsaw, has nothing to expect from France, the cordial relations now existing between France ami Russia forbidding any thought of that kind, and the sympathy for a united Poland in other parts of Europe exists only in the hearts of enthusiasts 1 or very young people. The generosity of the Emperor of It ussia, even toward the Polish emigration, has had the effect of calming their friends and relations at home, and a general amnesty will probably he likely to consign all that has passed since I H.St) to oblivion. Emperor Nicolas crushed the Polish rebellion with his heels; his son, Emperor Alexander, obliterates its memory by acts of benevolence and mercy. Emperor Nicolas was a handsome man, with a majestic | figure?all autocrat every inch ; but his subjects could not behold hiru without trembling. Emperor Alexander II tukesafier his uncle Alexander I; no one approaches him without feeling elevated by bis unaffected kindness. The very severity of the father acts as a foil for the humane and merciful disposition of the sou. In Spain the administration of O'Donnell seems to become stronger evi ry day, aud I adhere to the opinion previously expressed, that he will have no great i difficulty in obtaining a working majority in the next i i Cortes. Espartero seems to have lost all his politi ; cai lnnueiico since mis menus nave compromised every principle by simply opposing "the admiuistratiou." The same holds of tlio party devoted to Nar- '< vaez. The latter has become personally disugreeable to the Queen, and lias no chance of personally seizing the reins of government. Spain now presents i the same spectacle which France did during the lat- j i ter part ol the government of Louis Philippe : both i the ultra aristocratic and the radical parlies unite to overthrow the rule of the moderate conservatives. S.jnil&r phenomena have been observed in other ciWntries. In Kngland it is the union of the aristoi crative conservatives with the progressive party j which keeps the professed liberals out of power ; I i but then the terms "liberal," "progressive," "con i eervativo," have very different meanings in Kngland i from what they have on the continent of Knropc, where a "liberut" or a "progressive" is for upsetting the government to establish4>ne to his own liking. , An important decreo has just been published in I Madrid which will produce some satisfaction in the 1'nitcd States.

I (MP, lOrt'i At tliu beginning of the week the generul idea was that the market wius undergoing a natural mid healthy reaction from the rapid rise of the previous fortnight ; that outsiders hail been free purchasers, and would, alter a reasonable pause, re-enter the market as buyers again ; and that, after a further decline of a day or two, the upward movement would be revived, and prices would l?e higher than before. The facts have not sustained this well-coneeived theory. It turns out that the outside buying lias been very small, and tliu outside selling very large ; that iutleml of helping the street to carry its natural haul of railway stocks, the public have taken advantage of the laic rise to transfer their own stock burden to the shoulders of the street. In a word, though money is tin pre cudentedly cheap, and many capitalists must tie unable to make (air interest on their loose means, though them is every temptation to speculate, and almost the entire force ol Wall street was till lately enlisted on the hull side, it seems that the outsiders have resolutely profited by their former lessons, abstained from buying stocks, and sold out what they had.
