We are sorry to say, it is but too evident that the depots of Germany have a perfect understanding with the Empress of Russia in the attack which she makes on the constitution and territories of the republic of Poland. We understand that the King of Prussia, who was the first Prince made acquainted confidentially with the changes intended in the system, as far back as the year 1788, now abandons the republic to its fate, and so far declares himself against her, as to refuse the auxiliary troops stipulated by the last treaty, in case of an attack on the side of Russia—under the pretext that that treaty is of an anterior date to the new constitution of the 3d of May, 1791.
