PRUSSIA.
The National Gazette of Berlin, in an article on the view taken of the Baden Conference by the English press, says :— Assuredly the English would not occupy themselves so much with Prussia as they do, if they had not occasion from time to time to solicit her services. If they had nothing to hope from her they would maintain silence respecting, her, or would speak of her with the same hostility as the French journals. The veritable meaning of the language of the English press about Prussia, its continual oscillations between eiiiogium and blame, have no other cause than the knowledge which the English have of their own insufficiency, and of the need obtaining by the help of others that force on the Continent which they do not possess. As it is always Prussia which is to give to England the support she wants, we need not be surprised that in the eyes of the English she sometimes does too much and sometimes too little, for she does'not believe herself an appendix of England.
