When she extended her frontier to the It inc, and aired there the extensive territories she now he ds, she ceased to be a strictly northern German Power, an became a sharer in the sgliglitenisent and feelings of the western part 0 at great country. Alar portion of her subjects are now closely alli with the more advanced Powers of Euro and her Govern- ment has forfeited their respect as well as the grad opinion ofell the enlightened people of _erinany. by covertly supportin the proton- sions of Russia. More immediately dangerous to Germany than to_ either France’ or England, the advance of Russia is looked on, in Germany, with greater apprehension than even here : and the German Monarch who has favoured Russia, whcn_an opportunity olferedsuccessfully to o pose_it_, has sacrificed the good opinion of sl triotic Germans. _ Independently of the con- .uct of _Prussia having been erroneous in prin- ¢|Pl°i_ It s been vacillating, feeble, and unreliable. In a circular note recently addres- sed to its foreign Ministers, regret is expressed that Russia has rejected the conditions which would have put an‘end to the war; but it is satisfied with the assurances of Russia that it will ‘_‘ evacuate the Principalities,” and “ will remain henceforth on the defensive.” Like Aus- tria, therefore, Prussia finds, after her prolong- ed negotiations with ‘the Western Powers, that she has no coca: bells against Russia; and she therefore dei_iies—contrary, we believe, to the general opinion of Gei-,inany_that there is any “°°°'°"l 90 _“1l°|'_l'9l'_0 by's\fms, and so brin the contest—which, if it be coiitinued, may eso- late all Europe—tc a speed conclusion.

U She cannot pea inc," gays the Circular, “ the reject of a common protec- torate over the Principalilies ; and believes that that protectorate might even lead to a state of things but little in cooforiniiy with German inter. _ he occupation of the Principslities by Austrian troops is extremely galling to Prussia; i it extends the power of Austria on both sides of the Danube, and it is one of the remarkable inci- dents of ihe present remarkable contest, that the _sct of the Allies, iii introducing,the Austrians into the Principalities, has given uinbragc to Prus- Ill,‘ and goes fair to dissolve the feeble alliance which she has lately formed with Austria. er people may dread ihe Russians—her Court dread and hate the Austrians a great deal more. 'l‘hus the miirlied success of Aiisiris in getting posses- sion ‘of the Prinoipslisies, and the important position she now occupies, being powerful to mediate between Russia and the \Vestern Powers, are extremely graiing to the Giivernment of Pius- Iil. which seems willing to sacrifice the good opinion of all enlightened Germany and of the inhabitants of Western Europe to gratify its old hereditary enmity for the House of Hapsburgb. Austria and Prussia, the two greatest Powers in Germany, can never act lung in concert. On this the Emperor of Russia relies; and the consent of the Allies lo the occupation of ihe Principalilies by Austria has had the elfect of alienating more than ever the Court of Prussia from the Wcslerii Powers.

NEWFOUNDLAND. The French merchant screw steamer. Vests. arrived from St. Peter's. bound to Granville. arrived here on Saturday last, with loss of_ mast and bows completely slisltsred to piece!» having been in collision with the Collies paddle steamer Arctic from Liverpool to New York, about 5% mill! S. E. of Cape Race. It appears that the Vestalsft St. Peter's on Tuesday last, and on the following day at noon, in the neighbourhood of Virgin Rocks. in In exceedingly dense fog. steaming 8 knols,came into collision wiiha large steamer. which VII recognise asthc Arctic of New York, whose s eed is said to have been not less than 12 knots. ' he Vesis appeared to be sinking, but imme- diately rosc again. but no hope was entertained of her ultimate safely, the passengers and crew looking upon the Arctieas their only chance of saving their livcs.—0ne man was killed, and others severely wounded. Two boats were put over the side, the first of which was sunk, and the second was immediately boarded by two of the crew and several of the passengers, who not hseding the order of the captain to return on board, abandoned the vessel. The fog continuing very tbick,they lost sight of the Arctic altogether, still hoping, however, that she would not desert t em. 0 cry istrsss was new board, which was attributed to some men of the Vests, who. it appears, had jumped overboard, to get on board the Arctic. Prcvidentislly, the bulkhead in the forecastle was not started, which the Captain (Duchensne) noticed as alfurdiug a chance of safety. He imme- diately, with the utmost proiripituds, gave orders for lightening the vessel by the head, which was as readily obeyed by throwing overboard all the fish, cargo, luggage of the passengers, &c., whic was in the lorepart of the vessel, and which raised her bows oonsiderabl . This elevation, with the firmness of the bu khead, contributed much to stop the liesvy rush of water. About 150 mattresses, pslliases, and other effects of the crew and passengers were now placed sbaft the safety partition, over which were thrown sails, backed by boards and planks, the whole being secured by csblss well and firmly wrapped round‘ :- ? all. The forcmsst, which had received somedamage was cut away, and contributed considerably to raise the head.still more. This occupied two days. They then ran under small steam for the nearest port, (St. John's), which they entered on Saiurds lasl, most providentially before the rising o the severe gale which blew on that day. Upon mastering the hands. 13 were missed. The Vesta had on board ll? passes era, and a crew of 50 men. The conduct ofslapt. Du- chesne. is much applauded, and the condition of the vessel, as she now appears. elicits the ad- miration of all who visit her. Indeed, nothing but the most indomitable superior seamsnship could have succeeded in bringing the vessel into port—The unfortunate men have been taken into the hospitable keeping of Mr. Tousssiat (tlirough_ whose kindness we have been enabled to gather the foregoing account), who sparesno pains to provide for their comfort. Nothing further was known of the Arctic until the evening of Saturday, when news reached town that she had sullered considerably from the- shock, and had been abandoned by the pgsseugcrs and crew. On Sunday, some of those who had taken to the boats, arrived here from Renews. The Legislature of New Brunswick, is sum- moned to meet on l9th instant. HIBOILLAIEOUB. Scriirrnar li.i.us'riu'rioir.—Iis the ser- mon on the Mount, our Lord says, “ Who- soover shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him twain.’ We can all of us casil understand the other part of this criinman , that when struck on one check, we should in humility oller the other; because, unfor- tunately, we know what mrihing is.

The Spaniards visited that country, previous to the French, and made particular search for gold and silver, and finding none they ollen said among themselves, “ocauada_. ” (there. is nothin here.) he Indians who watched closely —lcarned this sentence and its meaning. The French arrived, and the Indians, (who wanted none of their company, and suppo- sed they were also Spaniards come on the same errand,) were anxious to inform them in the Spanish sentence, " carsodat. ” The French, who knew as little of Spanish as the Indians, supposed this incessantly recurring sound as the name of the country, and gave it the name of“ Canada " which it has borne ever since.
