IT is a fair teatentent of what ought to be guiding pr nciple of English policy towards Germany, to represent its chief obi, ct to be the keepingthat great country united and strong, in order to resist the dicta tion or encroachments that France may menace from one side, or Ramis from the other. h CAB we most fully agrees with the Times and Lord ABERDEEN. Our diff-renee with them lies in the mode of pes tering for Germany y this unit and strength. The l ABERDEEN school holds, that this great object was fully attaiced in 1815 by • federation of prices meeting in diet, with Austria as its head. Now, what was the policy, the nature, and the action et this Diet P And what were its results? From the day of its first meeting to its cowardly self-diseelution ire 1848, the Frankfort Diet never aocompli-hed an act of imperial legislation, except to nullify constitutions, establish a censorship, appoint committees to tilt cnnepiracies and punish traitors. Toe diet was, in fact, a high police court, and noth else. It was chiefly formed for the purpose of m I tary organisation ' whereas, in truth, it was a system of military anarc hy. The smaller states never bad their contingent complete. One prince hoarded the money voted for it ; another spent it in pleasure; another in architecture and the fine arts. And when danger threatened the empire from abroad or from within, the Dist, its authority, and its army, proved to be a mre piper erection. Prussia aloes wee ready and efficient to show a mili'ary front to totem 'ion from abroad. and anarchy at home. Those gnat intert.al objects, which it was the business of the diet to accomplisb, such as commercial unity, military efficiency, national institutions, Prussia alone at tempted, and in fact accomplished, Austria and thi Diet merely acting as an impediment and a drag. Ttisdiffersoce between the two governments of Ames tria and Prumia,the former dominating in Frankfort es well as et Vienna, is not so much to be attributed to stupidity on one side, or acuteness on the other, as to the nature of the two countries, and to the development of the populations. No rth and west Germany are in fact two centuries beyond the sAith and east. Th. y are industrial, they are prates -1 tut, accustomed to municipal rights and institutions, highly educated, bordering an France and the Low Countries, and full of the ideas of those advanced multi. a, as well of those gleaned from England.l Whilst Prussia is the New England of Germany,' Austria is its backwoods. New, when it is proposed to link these two to other, is the more enlightened to be subjected to ate betake/nod mks ? Tots is what Russia natu rally de s•red is 1815, for Russia is itself backwood. France had ni potent voice whilst CEBTLERIAOII and All V RDELI warellipped Austria, Se rustics revere the owl, for its antiquity acd its nigbthood. The federation of 1815 formed for Germany • dark, iron cage, and made Austria its keeper. North Germany his been lensing ever since to get oat of this awn We do not say, that Prussia has gone either wisely or boldly abet it. But we assert that it is not merely per song or petty ambition that prompts Prussia to seek to make ter own—that is, the intelligent portion of Oermaey —dominant ; but it is the nature and near , sity of things. And the nature of things is so strong that no power or combination of powers will ever again restore the federation of 1815, or make North Ger many remain tranquil in the grasp and domination of the south. Russia, indeed, has set busily about mending the old iron cage. Merreanten has furnished the original plan, and ABERDEEN can help him. But even Rated& has said that the old eve was not strong enough, and that, in order to crush liberal and pro testant Gei many with a weight sufficient to keep it down, the Slava:ism and Magyar provinces of Austria must all be included in the federation. To link the Prussian to the Croat, and make the same regime do for both, that has been one of the resolutions of Warsaw. Now, we repeat, that it is neither generous, wise, nor just of England to lend its aid to this patting beck and freeing up the current of civilisation. If the object he to make Germany strong, it will utterly fail; for a re-establishment of the Frank fort Diet can have no other result, than to place the entire people of Ger many at direct variance with its princes and its governments. There may be no insurrections, or attempts of the kind may be put down : Germany may be kept as tranquil as France is by large armies; bat the ruling powers of Germany will remain just as paralysed us those of France are for either military offence or defence. Establish the Frankfort Diet, and make even some slight modifications, such as Russia and Austria may admit, and you stamp upon every German heart the one thought and the one desire — revolution—a sanguinary, a sweeping, a merciless revolution. Writers, who only know Germany by its " Courts and Camps," should inquire what are the opi nions of the rising generation of Germans, and what those opinions are likely to become by the breach of every peircaly promise, and the failure of every pow lar hope. Talk of the unity and the strength of Ger many, indeed, and its power of resisting France! Why the Germane, if now disappointed and crushed, —the Prussian himself, if handcuffed to the Croat, will welcome any foreign invasion, whether it come from French socialist or Russian Cossack. Anything— chaos itself—will be bailed and prayed for, wherever Germans congregate, as • deliverance from the stupid regime which they have undergone for the last thirty yews and which it is now proposed to thrust upon them ;gain. All Germany is unanimous against the Frankfort Dig, which a minority of its princes has riser citatal : even this minor ity having done so la direct opposition to their chambers, their constitutions, and to nmverwl opinion. Of all Germany there are but the Austrians themselves and the southeen Bavarians who could lend themselves willingly to the service of the I resuscitated Diet. And it is now attempted to insult and subjugate the mass of the German people by swans cf this inconsiderate and unintelligent fraction. As long as the north Germans quarrelled amongst each other, when Prussia __pat down Saxons, and Hanoverian, quarreled with Hess., thine were but pasting fends. Bet to Wig, as is now doing, the Austrians and Bavarians from cia• remote corner of Germany to put down at the Ober extremity a population and a cause which, righter wrong, is meet dear to the North Germane—we ailed* to that of Hol stein—this is sowing the seed of a hatred and war be twixt Humus which we shall bear of in years to come. It Prussia suffer the Austrians and Bavarians to came north, it will be ea eternal dia gram to her. It will even be a distress to Hanover and will complete the depopularizatism of its king.

The protocol of London bas in our opinion for ever destroyed and rendered untenable the integrity of Denmark. CARDINAL WOMAN and his soi-disant suffragans have incurred the penalties of pransunire. phrase is in everybody's mouth : what precisely does it mesa ? The origin and growth of that portion of our sta tute law which previous to the Reformation consti tuted the main defends of king sod people against the encroachments of the papacy, is not very difficult to trace. Rome during the reigns of the PLANT...- 05mm was at the zenith of its political power. Nearly the whole of western Christendom owned its spiritual suzerainty. Emperors and king., free *Wes and fierce barons, held in turn the stirrup of its ambition. The network of its subtle polity was spread ever all lands; and feudalism itself bent beneath the weight of its authority. As fears were held of theme n, sokingdmns were disposed of by the arrogant summon of ST. PATER. HENRY IL did not disdain to accept the lordship of Ireland as a gift from ADRIAN, and his son wee not ashamed to execute a formal surren der of the crown to Innocater 111., and to receive it again at a rent of 1,000 marks a year! Ecclesiastical courts averted an absolute independence of civil control, and claimed for all persons in holy orders exemption from all responsibility save to their pecu liar jurisdiction: Vast wealth became accumulated in the hands of the regular and secular clergy. Landed property was every year to a greater extent enclosed within the impenetrable fence of mortmain. Finally the benefices and bishoprics of the national church were grasped at by the insatiable cupidity of Rome. The spirit of the nation, which had complacently endured every other species of indignity and en croachment, revolted against this new usurpation. In the thirty-fifth year of the reign of EDWARD 1., a statute was passed which CORE declares to be the foundation of that edifice of ecclesiastical liberty eventu ally perfected by such gradual care and relied to such a noble and conspicuous elevation. The provisions of this early act, however, proved ineffectual for their purpose ; and one of the weighty charges against the ill-fated EDWARD IL Worn his allowing of bulls Ifrom Rome to be brought into the kingdom for the lanlawfal disposal of church preferments, and the like. His successor strove at the beginning of his teen I to induce the papal court to come to some removable understanding. Bat his expostulations seemed only to provoke fresh ebullitions of insolence; and in reply to his remonstrances he was reminded that France had recently humbled herself before the uni versal lord of nations, and that the Emperor of GERMANY was equally submissive. EDWARD 111. replied as became bins, that though every Prince and State should league together to main tain this scheme of usurpation, he and his peo ple were resolved to vindicate the ancient freedom of the realm. Nor was this an idle boast. Several acts were passed dtc aring all presentments made by Rome to livings or bishopric', and all pretended acts coal d ing persons to other benefices, void, and rendering those who should procure or accept any such ap pointments liable to fine and imprisonment. In the following reign the law was rendered still mere stringent ; special provisions were introduced eirebet the holding of any ecclesiastical preferment by sins, or persons born out of the balance of the Ring end all liege men of the crown accepting bene bee by " foreign provision" were put out of the geeteetioe of the law. These enactments were de neemesil at Rome as impious and schismatical, and threats of excommunication were hurled against those who should presume to execute or obey them. But the parliaments of those days were of one mind on the subject; and by the 16 RICHARD 11. ch. 6, they not only re-affirmed the most important principles em bodied in former statutes, but further enacted that whoever should " procure at Rome any bulls, pro cesses, excommunvatioes,. instruments, or other things, which touch the Kiog, against his crown and realm, and all persons aiding and assisting therein, should be put out of the King's protection, their lands and goods forfeited ; and that they should be attached by their bodies to the King and his council, or process of pramusire faci a should be made out against them. This last recited act is generally called " the Statute of Pressunire," from the title of the writ under which proceedings were taken against its vio laton ; from the resolute unanimity with which its policy was sustained by the nation, no efforts on the part of the Italian priesthood were able to defeat it. In vain Pepe EVOXIIIIIII assumed the right to ap point a bishop to fill the en of Ely; the Archbishop of CANTRRISURT refused to consecrate him, and another was duly enthroned, whom the chapter had chosen and the King approved.

COIIBRO The necessity under which General Groeben 'WIL placid to rivet the advancing Austrians by strengthen ing his military position, is explained to-day, by the intelligence that, on the 9th inst., ttwi corps under Gee erat Legedics advanced from the frontiers into the Duohy of Sax.--Coburg, and occupied the town of Bricb, ore league and a half from the city of Cokn o z i This corps which, on the 7th, only minuted to 2 men, had already swelled to 30,000, with 80 gum lie egictive force was to be still farther increased by trash arrivals, which kept daily pouring in MS the Austrian dominion.. To oppose this movereent the following positions were bald by General Groeben on the 12th inst. The heed-quer:ere of his army had been moved to Frieda weld, midway between the two Kappen towns et Vaeha and Hersfleld, the latter point still remelts( occupied by a Pens:den force, and not having been evacuated, as rated yesterday.

The Btvarlan troops, under Friar* Thurn and Taxis, hid advanced but a little way cut of Fulda— se y six mils (tin send halb stNmle), in the direction al 101.-rsfeld. The statement in the Frankfort papers of the 12th, that on that day the Bavarians entered Cassel, is entirely devoid of foundation. Letters from Nlantch, of the 9th, announce, MlS while, the calling out of the 4th battalion of time 16 I infantry regiments. Letters of the same date, from Vienna, also speak of a motion in .the cabinet for call ing the Austrian Reichstag together. There are tasty reasons why this should be deemed an inexpe- Meta step. However, the latest intelligence from Vienna is in appearance pacific. Here is a despatch, addressed to the Cologne Gazette of Yeaterdsy VIENNA, N0v.12. Count Mahar is said to have brought from Berlin Anal and acceptable (this word in lsr,.e type) terms, so that people here see peace in perspective. The Austrian corn spondence confirms the statement, "that, according to reliable information, Austria's attitude in Berlin has been met in a spirit of justioe and moderation." A telegraphic despatch in the Hamburg Bonen- Halle ' from Berlin of Nov. 12, says the Cologne Ga seile, after giving the foregoing account, states " the report was spread on the Bourse to-day, that intelli gence bad arrived from the Prussian ambassador in Vienna, that he was on the point of arranging the disputed matters quite satisfactorily, and that but trifling differences now remained." It is stated twat in a cabinet council held at Vienna, on the 9th inst., Marshal Rade teity protested against the aggressive policy of the cabinet. It was rumoured at Berlin that the Prince of Solmslych was likely to take the presidency of the cabinet. Large masses of troops and landwehr continued to peas through the Runtish provinces towards the south. Tne whole of the Prussian army is now on • war footing, and the order in council of the 6th inst. is completely executed. The Deutsche Reforms (Berlin), of Nov. 12 (the ministerial piper), says, "The King's government hopes that the appeal addressed to the army will contribute to obtain, by means of accelerated ne gotiation, the determination by treaty of the attributes to which Prim* has a right to pretend in Germany. The Prussian nation may be a-snred that the 1110TIL• aces which have been made will not be useless." Baths, Nov.

Her dates are: Gibraltar, November sth ; Cadiz, 6th ; Lisbon, 9th; Oporto, 10th, Vigo, 10th. Her cargo comprises 8 pac kage s of specie (1,6501.), 2 casks of wine, 7 oases of hams, 32 boxes of eggs, 38 packages of sundries. Our correspondent at Lisbon informs us that though there are rumours of ministerial changes, they are un founded. The affair of the British claims was in statu quo, but it is supposed that as some of the claims are admitted to be exaggerated, the affair will be quietly settled. The state of the finances is of course in the same state of confusion; yet government are about to apply for a loan to complete roads. At Oporto a fair amount of transactions had taken place for this packet at 641 to 641, and some at 541, for bills at 90 days' date; Brazilian bills plumed at 541. The revenue of the Oporto custom-house during the mouth of October amounted to 165 cantos, less 15 cantos, amortization of notes. There is no politi cal news from this quarter. The cotton and woollen trade remained as easel. Heavy sale' of wine had been effected in the market at advantageous prices. Altogether the wine trade had taken an extraordinary turn for the better, and large shipments continued to be made to the London market, and owing latterly to a scarcity of shipping to convey the wines offeriog, freights had risen to Os.

The prii.cipal witnesses in the cue, namely, the girl and her mother, were not torthcomiug at first, and the case had been adjourned ; but before the bench bed broken up, how ever, Buperiatei.dent Coulson received an electric telegraph mi sage, intern:dog him that the prosecutrix, witu her slather and lather, were in custody, and would be at Brentwood in half an-hour. Au intimaticu was iramedi mely forwarded to Mr. Clarkson, counsel for the pris“uer, and in the citric of a very short time the learn, d Kande man, accompanied by the reverend defendeat, returned to the court. Tke girl was brought into court at half•past two o'clock. She was accompanied by her father and mother, and by a young fema.e friend. All the parties were in the oust. dy of Sergeant Gunn, an active detective officer of the G division of the metropolitan police. Gann had apprehended the girl only this morning at a low lodging•house in Camden. town. On explaining who he was to the complainaut and telling her that she must come with him, she cried very much, and said she could not come without her mother. Gunn ascertained from the woman of the house that the father and mother were living in the neighbourhood of Islington, end thither he accordingly drove with the com. lainant. As soon as Mrs. Doe saw her daughter in cute , y she ran towards her, and, grasping her hand, said, Now mind, my child, you tell the gentlemen that it was ell wrorg what you told them before ; and if they . ask you how you came to tell such a tale, say you wasn't to 3 our right mind, and you didn't know what you said." This fact bet-ow:no known in some degree prepared the bench for whet fuliows. All the wittiness having been °rioted out of court, she mother of the girl, who had been sluing beside her, ewe to leave the room. As the was doing so, et was observed that she bald up her finger in a threatening manner to Oct child. The Chairman having ordered the complainant to be re-sworn, requested Mr. C. C.

Complainant.—No. I really did not know what I was after when I stated that. The Chairman.—ls it true, I ask you ? Mr. Cisrkson.—She has al ready said no. Complainant.—l don't know what I said. I wan quite Innwsible. The Coalman—When you came before me you must esenther you swore that Mr. Johnstone did emne , hing pm on the morning of the 9th of October. Was tact true abbe ? Complainant—Why, sir, they frightened ur to I did not know what I said. Tho Chairman—Who frightened you ? OMMlOMmuit—Tho pathos who came to my mother's IMMO. (The witness was here understood to refer to the per No allows.) • The Chairman—Well, you ere not to be alarmed or Milatened by say one here. Yon are sworn to speak the Mask and it you do that you have nothing to fear. Complainant—AU I know is that, as soon es I entered I the kitchen I fainted away.

Complaisant—l don't know. I had been ill all night The Witness wu here questioned at great length by the Chairman sad the other magistrates, with a view of testing her veracity. Her answers, how , were all of the same character, and when premed upon any point in her previous deposition, she invariably sheltered herself by remarking that she did not kaow what she said when she laid the com plaint, sad that she was now sorry for having done so. ♦ magistrate asked her whether she recollected Mr. Johnstone having Wooed her on the Sunday before the Ilk of October ? Complainant—Why, I don't know, sir. Mr. Clarkson objected to any question being asked, ul ulated to prejudice the accused, which had not a direct heaths' spots the case under Investigation. Atior a long and somewhat personal discussion between the beach and the learned advocate, The complainant was farther questioned by Mr. Tower, who reminded her of the awkward position she was placed in by &saying now what she had previouly stated upon oath. The girl still persisted in averring that she was now stating the Math, and repeated her expressions of regret for having said as very different a story before. Mr. Tower expressed his opinion that the complainant had been mat disgracefully tutored. It was impossible for him to believe that a young girl like the complainant would some before the bee& sad swear to certain tuts, and after. wards contradict them is tote, unless she had been tutored so to do- Kr.
