      FTJHE new " proposals of peace" froih Russia , X " aggfaT ^^ . M tW -ffroice of any sucking dove'V to gutter ihe yolflcians at Corahill , are more likely to affect the coarse of the quotations than the course jq £ arnis , Freach or English . The statement is , that the Emperor proposes to grant peace , if the Tights already attained by the Western Powexsin Turkey be confirmed by treaty , and if the Dardanelles Be eracuated by the fleets . If that be granted which has been refused .

      It i $ evident , however , tihat -Russia , is only add ' ing another of her attempts to gain time . A , day is worth the trouble it takes to gain a day . The only possibility of sincerity in the Czar would consist in the fact , if it id true ,. that the people of his own capital are beginning to show a seditious feeling , because the war interrupts trade . It may be so , but the Czar has used false reports of every kind , and he would be capable of belying even the loyalty of his own subjects to serve the purpose of the day .

      nants ; if Ministers cbuldwear the Wfhdsor uniform , and the ex-Ministers blush for the day in that supreme imitation of a policeman ' s guise , which , by courtesy , they © re entitled ih ' wear tth such occasions ; the majority of the pdwerftu Commons , —trhat is , the Commons that wottftf' be

      powerful if they could appreciate their own power —went up , three-fourths of tbem in thftt costume , which is only less mean and ugly than the dfesB of an English gentleman sixty years ago . Nevertheless , it was a great ceremony . It was a Russell , stimulated by tho old ambition of the House of Bedford , that proposed to carry tlie Address of the Commons of England to the foot of the

      throne by the whole body of the representatives . It was a revival of national feeling which made tho representatives acqui « sco in tho proposition by acclamation ; and it wa , s tho force of an unaninioiis public opinion , which , obliged a reluctant aiul carping Opposition to signaliso itself by sharing Jn the State cexomony which it could neither prevent nor mar . In Parliament , however , for some reason or

      hot a foil co-operation in the aggressiva defence of ; the West , it is ' infinitely : more national-and in dependent than the course to which Eiiig Frederic TYiilianxis majai /^ stly inclined . ^^ e fH » i >^ S | wavers , the more Prussia is likely to be strength ^ ened in national' independence ; and it lies with our 0 overnmettt ,, aiid-that of France , to determine waet ^ er * ihMy , yinVa <^ e ^ t . tii 6 ;' p ^^^ knJlbe ? of the Court , or take parfc . with , the , independence of $ ie people . n ; , .:

      From the seat of war we have nothing that materially alters the- position described last week . English and French armies are on their way , Russians are establishing themselves ih the I > obriidsclia ; ( Greece and Turkey are $ 6 mpleting their rupture by the withdrawal o » f Ambassadors ; and in the ^ NTorth Sir Charles Napier is making good his position | qjwhile Bussia is said to be elaborately laying rocks in his calculated path . From other continental states we have no movement of importance . Frona . Parma , the report that the assassin of the duke has been arrested .

      So much the worse . How will they deal with him ? Consistently with law which still obeys royal authority , and with justice which recognises in his act the rescue of a State ? We do not see what they can do with him , but to give hint a Civic Crown , and hang him ; unless , indeed , they let him escape . " Descending from the base to the ridiculous , Spain is now the victim of two new scandals . Tho glories of her arms have been illustrated by a brave soldier ,

      who has poked his bayonet up the nose of an unoffending mule , while an officer cut down the driver for the offence of lagging behind . Tho wounded man became the gupst and protfyd of the English Ambassador . In the meanwhile , a marrriage between tho daughter of the Tnfant Don Francisco de Paula , and a Trince of that branch of tho Coburg House establishment for husbands , which preserves its Catholicity for southern consumption , lias been broken oflCon account of a moral reform which the

      The new proposals of peace , would not only gain time , but have for their evident purpose the gaining over of Prussia . . To neutralise Prussia is now the most hopeful project of the Czar ; everything has been turned to that purpose . The relationship , —the Czar ' s wife , is King Frederic William ' s sister ; the king ' s vanity ; his fears of nationality , his claims of German supremacy , — all have been nattered , and no doubt hopes are

      held out that the lead in Germany , which Austria has forfeited , shall be his . It was declared in the will of ^ Peter the Great , that secret proposals should be offered to France and Austria , of sharing the dominion of the world . Secret and separate" proposals have been offered to England , France , and Austria , and severally declined , and there is no reason why Prussia Bliould not have been tried in her turn , according to her rank . The other Sovereigns have refused Russia . Frederic William bites .

      Not so tho Prussian people . The Chambers have agreed to a loan of 30 , 000 , 000 of dolLars , but have accompanied tbeir formal sanction of the Ministerial proposal by distinctly recorded reasons . Ministers appeared before the Committee and gave explanations . It is reported that they abstain from tho use of the word neutrality , " at all events before the Committee . Ministers have not used very explicit language in public ; but the
