Ws from the first regretted, and must continue to censure, that extreme act of placing a British fleet befogs the harbour of Athens (es the Pineal may be deemed), and demanding at the cannon's mouth the settlement of certain accounts dos to individuals. Some of these claims—that of Mr. FINIAL for example—appear to us to be just, and the Greek government acted in the most childish, trifling, and yet insolent way in meeting that and the other demands. The peculiarity of these claims was that they were of a pnvato nature. For we place the demand of the islands, kept apart from them, out of the question. When the Greek government refused all redress, the English Admiral might, we think, have made repri sals, and captured as many vessels as would in value satisfy the claims. But the blockade, and the menace of further coercion and hostilities were acts of aggra vated violence, not warranted even by the petty chi canery, bad faith, and ingratitude of the Greek cabinet. We have no doubt that the menacing attitude and the exaggerated violence were adopted merely to ter minate the affair the sooner, and compel the Greeks to yield. Bet it failed in this result, and has now proved to be wrongly calculated. As it is, we have at the demand of the French government, fallen bas k to the position which we should have taken up at first, viz., that of holding a certain number of prizes to indem nify those of our subjects who were wronged, until the Greek government thick fit to do them justice. We do not think that in this purely private matter we were bound to conult the governments or savoys of either France or Ramis. Tom envoys in Greece were notoriously opposed to us—were eter nally exerting themselves to put down the liberal and constitutional party in Greece, and to thwart and spits England for euppurting that party. To have prayed for French and Raman assistance in the pressing of our pecuniary claims, were idle. The envoys of those nations had oaf ficiently displayed their animus. To have communinved to them our intention of having re morse to violence and menace would merely have been enabling them to support the Greek government in resistance,—a support which they had time enough to lead, and a result they had power enough to Mine, after all. Whatever, therefore, may have been the errors of ar Pt/reign-office, or of the admiral and envoy, we de mt find that Russia or its minister has the least mod of complaint. Our foreign contemporary, the 71mes, in recompose for its abettal of woman-whipping in Hungary, and of loan-mongering In London, has reesiv.d special communication of a Russian note_ It is a vary angry scolding that Count NIVISELRODE addresses to Lord Par.mxisrox ' as unwarranted and undignified, as it is violent and empty. We sincerely trust that our government will respect itself too much to re ply to any such note by more than a simple acknowledgment of its receipt. If otherwise we shall have the spectacle of the ministers of two great states bandying vituperation from one end of E uro p e e, 3 ,;;!:!.e. with a toothlessand personal spite, that ought not to be allowed to emerge from the precincts of the national fish-markets. Russia accuses England of c3mpelling Greece to do justice to British subjects when wronged, without connitingthe other great powers. But did Russia sad Austria occult England when they swallowed up Cenew ? England has guaranteed the constitution and independence of Poland in conjunction with Ramis and France, just as much as she has pa mateed the independence of Greece. Does Russia emelt England or France in her treatment of Petard? Was the rest of Europe consulted when Aria marched her legions not only into Hungary, hat into the principalities of the Danube? All dem are acts of tyranny, rapine, bloodshed, spo liation, the blotting out of nations, and the die- Whence of the balance of power in Europe. Compared with these, what are our menaces or our violence be fore the Pitons? Count NVISELRODE pretends that we blockade the Finns not to have pecuniary claims attended to and English dignity respected, but to overthrow the Bavarian dynasty of King Onto. Fudge! No one knows better than Count Nraszt.- RODE that toe have no interest in disturbing the Bavarian dynasty, which the Russian party alone has prevented from placing its throne on a national and liberal basis. The presence of a British fleet, and the action of a British force, in those seas and on those coasts is evi dently very much to the distaste of the Russian auto crat. Admiral PAMIR, having got airman of bad weather to anchor in the Dardanelles, rather than in the exposed bay outside of them, is accused of endanger ing the peace of Europe. Bat his coming even near the Dardanelles was solely occasioned by an insolent demand of Russia, menacing the peace, honour, and independence of the Sultan. The power which bearded the Sultan in his palm SWUM a British admiral of threatening the pesos of Europe by anchoring an hundred miles off ! A firm language and a dictatorial attitude, held by the British Admiral before Athens, are fees likely to tell and to make a deep impression all over the Levant. This is gall and wormwood to Russia. Count NESSELRODE, or the Cur, has no fears for Athens. They know right well that the English will not bombard it, nor endanger OTLIO'S throne, nor hurt the hair of a Greek's head. But they cannot bear to see any power acting master in those parts, or showing insolence in the porta of the Levant, un less it be a Russian envoy. Much therefore as we disapprove of the extent of violence practised before Athens, we should recommend the English ministry not to relax in insisting on just demands. They have their own character, as well as the property and safety of British subjects, to protect. With respect to the note of Russia, Prince SexwAß• zwenuito at Vienna, and the noses in London, may make the ko-too and knock their foreheads to the pound in respect and laudation before it; but the rest of Europe will laugh at its impertinences, and John Bull will infallibly turn to it his most contemp tuous side. be reply to a question from Lord MOUNTCASHELL, I on Thursday IW_, Lord LANSDOWNE stated that he I was not prepared to make any announcement on the part of the government relative to the rumoured aboli tion of the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland. The LORD MAYOR of Dublin having given notice of his in tention to put a similar question to the Prime Minister, some curiosity was evinced by hon. mem• bees connected with the sister kingdom regarding the answer which the interpellation was likely to receive. Lard J. Rueszu merely repeated what had been said by the President of the (Council; he added that the expediency of abolishing the office of Viceroy bad been, and still was, under the consideration of the Cabinet, bat that ample notice would be given before any bill was introduced by the government for the purpose of carrying that intention into execution. The subject io one which it is the fashion among politicalquacks, and puzzle-pates, to call " one of great &limy and difficulty." Peers' of this kind are non ally applied to matters of whose real nature the pre tentious talkers know little, and about which they care still less; but, regarding which they are exceedingly anxious to find out beforehand whether the prejudices on one side or the theories on the other are most likely to prevail. Where there is no distinct or' thoughtful intelligence, and no earnest or unselfish solicitude for the public interest in the matter, every qaid.nunc and 'huffier wraps himself up in a modish roquelaur• of doules, and resolves:not to a it out until the first squall is over, and until every body is sure what sort of day it is likely to be. We mean not to deny that, in journalism, this species of reserve may sometime' be convenient, and that its Anikilellesrith certain folk Oisswisaant an -rollwonn wissionot think !

All the jobbers aid rogue will try to confound the one with the other; but in the eyes of the people tbey . will not eseseed. They have a pal pable intend discovering realities from shame, and they are daily growing escutpnet id s g so. That the executive system in some radical change everybody feel. That the machinery works ill ie admitted upon all heads. We speak not now of either the chief or the subaltern engineers en trusted with its working. Neither are we thinking of the comparative merits of this party cm of that. In Lord Waususit's time the evils were as undeniable as in Lord Ds Ciszv's, and neither the skill of Lad Hirnuteuar nor the undoubted talents of Lord CU. RENDON have sufficed to hide or cure the victual= of the system. With the pomp and circumstance of independent rule, it constantly betrays the went of real power; and while substantially subordinate to the bureaucracy of Downing-street, it has contrived to elude that direct control, which imperial opinion and the imperial legislature exercise over all imperial iternts. In a word the Irish executive has been st ie strange anomaly, or rather a oneatenation of anomalies. It has not been ministerial in the con stitutional sensed the term, and it hes not been effec tive, because it was neither free to follow local opinion nor to obey its own convictions of what was right. In so far as irresponsibility and morality are evils, we are of opinion that the sooner the me chanism of Irish administration is changed the better —the better foe the people of both countries, but more especially of Ireland. We believe that such is their opinion, we are sure that such will be the opinion of every right-thinking man, who turns his attention to the question. Ireland wants responsible government,—government responsible to opinion and to parliament. But as opinion is local and urlia meat is imperial, responsibility in details of adminis tration mast practically be exacted locally, and as legislation and the choice of the few principal func tionaries of state are the duty of a united legis lature responsibility in these concerns can be exercised by parhament alone. What then? Let the head of the Irish government be a cabintt minister, having a seat either in the House of Lords or Commons, there to be inter rogated and held accountable like any other minisnr, for the whole conduct of the department ; bat on the wine hand, let the whole and every part cf separate business of the Irish office be transacted in Ireland, where alone it can be properly done, and not in Lon don, where it cannot be properly done. What is wanting is greater localisation and greater independ ence of departmental power, not more centralisation and greater usurpation of authority by the Treasury and the Home Office, than at present. As to what the head of the Irish executive shall in fetus be called, —end whether he is to be addreased as Mr. Secretary Workkard, cr his Excellency the Marquis of 80-and-so—it matters not a pin s fee. Just as little do we suppose that anj body cares for the cerc mocial, enacted half a dozen times a year at Dahlia, in imitation of a royal court. If a court and its pegeantries are capable of affording any gratification to the industrious millions, who only see its glitter afar off, through the medium cf a news paper, let them by all means be gratified with the presence of a real sovereign as they were last autumn, and let all peers, pundits, and prelates, with every creature that bath courtier life after its kind, get them up and hie unto the castle of Dublin, at the fitting season, then and there to see the face of Majesty and be satisfied. Only let them not be any longer bidden to bow to a deputy-monarch—a vice-king—a political confede rate or political foe, u the case may happen to be, who, if be have any sense, can hardly keep his emu tenants° u he goes through the farce of petty sove regnty, and apes the airs of a throne. The people of Ireland are not quite so dell as to attach any value to the retention of mimic parade, fit only to remind them of their former provincialism ; and the same feelings that prompted them to bail with satisfaction the recent visit of the QUM'S, naturally leads them to repudiate the counterfeit of sovereignty. If the Lord-Lieutenancy is the only important office abolished, there will be no other feeling than that of indifference or acquiescence in the change. But if, under the pretext of economy, or any other plea of centralisation, a furtive attempt be made to denude Ireland of her local administration for do mastic purposes, or to absorb in the departments already existing in this country the functions and duties now discharged by a separate and resident de partment in the capital of Ireland, great end just will be the popular resentment, and lasting will be its effects. No rhetoric or argument can or ought to convince the Irish people that their affairs can in detail be as well attended to by us in London as by themselves at home. It were the merest impudence of ekarlatanerie to contend that they could. THE sentence in the great GOETIAM case is at length formally pronounced, and is what was long since anticipated, and commented upon in our columns. Although the positive doctrine of the church is not one whit better known than before, it is some consolation to clergymen to feel that, though doctrine may be undefined, property is safe, and that they may hold the opinions of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY on the subject of baptism, or the opposite opinion of the Bishep of LONDON, without endangering their rights to benefices is sue or in posse. The Bishop of LON DON has indeed saved his reputation amorget the high-church clergy at a cheap rate, by withholding his concurrence in the judgment; but we are tempted to believe that his astute lordship is not at all sorry that the case has been decided in favour of Mr. Goa- UAW. A contrary decision would at once have es tablished the principle that certain opinions enter tained by at least one-half of the clergy of the esta blished church invalidated their equitable rights toany church property they might happen to pOINIMIL We say their " equitable " rights, for although the letter of the law may decide that what is sufficient for the pre volition of a clergyman takingpossession of a benefits is not always sufficient for deprivation, we can scarcely imagine any honest clergyman retaining a benefice while he held heretical doctrines. Had Sir H. J. EUST'S dec'sion become the law of the church, it appears to us that the Archbishop of CANTERBURY must have felt that as an honest man he could not retain his d*nities. Unless the 'plea dour of Lambeth had confused his sense of right and wrong, he must have abandoned his posi tion, and ell the honest evangelical clergy should have followed his example. The great use of the present decision is that it re-establishes the ancient order, that it allows a large latitude to freedom of opinion on what has always been a vexed question in the church, l and that it shuts out all hope of successful tyranny to a bishop like 'Win: of Excraa,who conceives that it is the right of every individual bishop to set up a despotism in his own diocese. This la the great value of doe judgment pronounced on Friday. In the meantime the chief feature of interest pre seated by the whole circumetanceslof thecae., appears be be the determination exhibited by a large and powerful party represented in this instance by the Bishop of EXETER, to revive a state of things which all the world imagined had burned out at the time of the Reformation. All thinking men, for instance, believed that the age of church councils was gone. The bishop's party would fain revive it. Their idea of perfection in a church is, that the boundaries be- Wien heresy and orthodoxy should be marked out by bread sharp lines—that council after council should be called to renew or add to the number of these lines. The idea introduced at the Itefermation was that impossible council or any number of councils could ever eneesed again in defining for countless millions of Christians the exact paths in which the belief el amey individual Christian was to travel. The maw =has been, that while the great efforts of the 'bur& have been to follow out the old idea of loaning more strictly the limits of doctrine, the Yes distinctly visible in the operation of all other *harebell has been that of allowing more space to the exercise of individual speculation. The council of Trent fenced round every old established doctrine of the church with jealous care, and brought in sunny doctines which had before that floated loosely on the waves of ecclesiastical controversy, mark ing out their position and limits, while the protestant council of Augsburg was careful to free THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 11, :1850. , .!1 the ant definitions from mesh of their rigid* sad infleciWity. Ai a woof that the former method was entrary to the spirit of the ego, and that the prin t eiple ad proteetantlem bad permeated iplaces where prneiktatisai itself could not enter, the decrees of the nand! of Trent was rejected by the Leg of Feuds and many other catholic; prince; as subver sive of the independent; of the national tenches. .The _entree, rutin el oompreiteaatos rather _than. minion might be illustrated by reference to the oondnat of every protestant church eines the time of the Reformation ; it is sufficient, however, fee our per wee to point ,out the remarkable changes introduced into the language of the English articles between 1838 sod 1662 as quoted in the judgment delivered by the Judicial Committee. In reference to this the commissioners very properly remark : II the potato which were left open, differences of mold not be avoided, even amongst these who e=anlyeubseibed to the ankles, and that such differences firstelesi each persons were thought mesistent with sub. script's& to the whiles, appears from a pa eggs In the royal dIICPASU now infixed to the avid's, aid which wae Int added in the Mice of King Charles I. long after the articles wove finale settled. Though some differences have bon ill raised, yet we take comfort is this , that all clergymen within our realm, have always mess willingly sabseribed to the 'Welts established ; which is an argurneat le us that the agree in Mr true anal su mp s el the veld end Met even hi thine endow paints an which Me= Mermen SO been cif aorta tabs the articles of the of England to be for them, ldeh is an argument, again, that none of them intend al desertion el the articles established." The pet martyr of the high church party is here brought in as a witness to the truth of a principle wa as an honest protestant, he could scarcely have avoided recognising. Do the Bishop of EXETER and the retrogressionists, in church and state, believe that they can be ultimately suoceseful in their endeavour to restore principles of action which had ceased to be generally recognised for centuries before CRABLES lived P We think they do, and that their hopes have been elevated by the course which events have taken, both here and on the Continent, during the last year. There is no denying that the principle of retrogres sion has achieved some vidaries. In France, parti cularly, the discussions on the education question brought to light the existence of a feeling in favour of a spiritual or mental tyranny in quarters where it was least expected. Such men as MM. Texans and Da TOCQUETILLE appear in their hatred to the lawlessness of the Mountain to be will ing to throw themselves into the arms of those whose aim is to reintroduce a spiritual despotism. The corresponding party in England cannot repress the extravagance of their delight at these symptoms, which point to a gradual reassumption of claims to an empire over men's spirits and intellects, long since abandoned. At the same time that we entertain the strongest conviction that these hopes are doomed to be utterly frustrated, we cannot bat feel certain that the liberal party have more opposition to expect from those whom we have called the retrogressioniste than could have been expected some years back, and we cannot, therefore, bat express our satisfaction that so great a blow has been struck on the right side as the judg ment of the Judicial Committee. GERMANY. BERLIN, Msaca 8. The "additional act " has not yet been published; it will probably be kept secret, known only to the mem bers of the Verwaltung., Bath, till it is communicated to the Erfurt parliament on the day of its opening. It is whispered, however, that this act is of such • nature that the whole work of the constitution is likely to be shattered by it. The constitution of the 28th of May requires the enneurreneo of the representatives of the people, of the represen tatives of the states, of the head of the empire, of the College of Princes to impart validity to any law. Prussia is, however, determined to contest the right of the College of Princes to a vote; and Meck lenburg has protested formally; and the other states reserved their right to protest if necessary, against being thus de facto mediatised. This dispute will come to be discussed at Erfurt; and it will be curious if the Princes acquiesce in the attribution of validity . to laws which have not received their consent. An Im pression has gone abroad, that Prussia resorts to this measure as an excuse for abandoning the " more inti mate union " its own creation ; for enabling it to say " things must remain as they are, but it is no fault of ours." Arnim von Boitzenburg is believed to have accepted the commission to sit among the representa tives of the states, only upon this understanding. The fall of the liberal cabinet in lives Cassel arose from their proposing to the elector constitutionally disposed men as deputies to the Erfurt Steatenhass. The Elector refused to ratify the selection made by the ministers, and seems to have thought this a fair occasion for turning them out and planting the banner of reaction. The members deputed from Cassel to the Erfurt Steatenhass will be enemies to the Prus sian bond, and their mission will be to join that party which is bent on its destruction. The Saxon government has declared that it has no intention of withdrawing from the league of May 26. In a cabinet council, attended by Radowitz, it was resolved that the Prussian government should declare for the immedisteacceptance by the Erfurt Reichstag of the German constitution as in the draft of May 26, and reserve the revision for subsequent deliberation. This is the course which was taken with the Prussian constitution of December. A telegraphic despatch from Berlin, of the above date, in the %diner Zeittsug, states that the govern ment of Saxony has declared ita intention of adhering to the Prussian League of the 26th of May, 1849. THE AUSTRIAN SCHEME FOR A CUSTOMS UNION. BRILLIN, MARCH 4. I mentioned in me letter of yesterday that a note had been sent by the Prussian government in answer to the Austrian proposal for a customs union. The principles laid down in the Prussian reply are in harmony generally with the following remarks, although of course diplomatic usage would not allow many of thole remarks to be so bluntly stated. The real motive of M. Brunt's memorial was not com mercial, nor based upon the ground or international pro gram, but was essentially a stroke of Austrian policy, which aimed to scotch the growing influence of Prussia in Ger many It was a stroke calculated all the more probably to reach that aim, as no scheme, abstractedly considered, could be more popular with the Germans generally than a com mercial union with Austria; and no scheme. practically considered, could be more popular with a considerable por tion of the Germans, than the establishment of higher protec tive duties. The moment was dexterously chosen for launchis g the plen,ljust when the chaotic state of Germany seemed likely to be &embroiled by the steadfast adherence of Prussia to the league founded under her auspices on parliamentary principles. A desperate effort was necessary to rally Ger many to the banner of Hapsburg, and the memorial of M. Bruck appeared. But the Austrian government, wholly dependent on the haute finance, and on the benevolence of the burgesses, in order not to cut the ground frost under their own feet, were obliged to be cautious how they alarmed their own manufac turers with the prospect of having their monopolies abolished ; and therefore advanced towards the commercial accolade with bound ante, prefacing their overtures with a profession of such high pitched protectionism, as does not materially differ from the prohibitive system in practice. If the Zollverein has net yet been able to tempt the northern states of Germany to the adoption of its moderate tariff, a glance at the Brach memorial will suffice to show what a gulf would be placed between those northern states and the Zollverein, were the latter to adopt the proposed Austrian tariff. When it is remembered that most of those states belong to the league of May 26, and that the main impediment to the accession of Hanover to the same league consists in her divergent commercial interests, it is manifest that, by taking a step in the protective direction, Prmis would be loosening and weakening that North-German coeli• Lion so much dreaded by Austria. To fling the apple of dig ested between the protectionists and free traders—to lure the Nevi= government by diplomatic baits towards protection, and thus excite the distrust of North Germany before the consolidation of the Mort scheme—was not improbably the Austrian design. The 'suspicion of intrigue Is strengthened by the fact of the memorial being addressed, not to the governments of the several German states, but to the federal commission at Frankfort, which might the more easily be brought to approve the project of a customs congress, as half the commoionen are Austrian. But according to the 3rd article of the convention of September 30, 1849, which gave birth to the federal commission, all affairs, which ac cording to the treaty of federation of 1816, are referred for dominos to the plenary sssembly of the diet, are reserved fur ommerm agreement among the single antes. Now, in article six of that treaty, among the concerns falling to the exclugro competence of the Plenum are set down " all orgenis federal arrangements and ordinances affecting the common materiel internee," under which head undoubtedly the establishment of customs-duties belongs. By the 6th article of the convin tion of Sept. 30, the competence of the Interim Commission in oe-extensive with that of the smaller council of the diet, and consequently eaaaot legally include the functions of the Plenum. Although this is clear ' b• it has been attempted to wrest the situ: h it snide o the &Altus. Acid. to &construction which C them this tion of the federal commission. says that " the memMn 01 the confederation are, upon the find meeting of the amembly l of the diet, to deliberate upon concerns of commerce aid =idle =throes the several sestes."

The ends of Austria would be admirably served by thus sowing dimension between two countries, both equally the 'sterol foes of the Russian policy of Primes Sehwarsenberg. But Prase= is by no means Wad to the advaangse whist may be drawn from the English ellianee, so long as Austria seems earnestly beat upon disputing her supremacy in Germany. Hence it appears quits oatmeal that the organs of the Prussian government should forestall diplomatic negotiation on this subject with the declaration that it is impossible to entertain the Austrian ashes& "A guest," says the Rearm, " who eanotutess himself with the declared intention of demolishing our house, will scarcely And the door open " As if to avenge this unfavourable reception, the Wiener Zeitung publishes the despatch which was sent with the memorial to the Federal Commission at Frankfort. in which it is remarked, somewhat spitefully, that "it would not be satisfactory to the Austrian government to eater upon special negotiations with the Premien gammas= up= this subject." So that for the present we see that this se for commercial union has hitherto seemed= in fomenting only political disunion, end in placing a still wider barrier betwixt the two great Clomp powers; while to Prude is left only the alternative of pushing the rupture to extremes, or of 'Mali up her scheme of the smaller band. If we pass from the political to the commercial question, the worthiness of the Austrian project would be not lees apparent. Besides the noisy in money, weights and mea sures, in commercial legislation, poet, and railway menage meet, which was long ago decreed by the National Assembly at Frankfort, the memorial proposes a customs-union of all German states upon the base of a protective system, in con formity with the tariff proposed by the society for the pro tection of German labour. The Austrian dominions contain a population of 374 millions . ; the territory of the Zollveritia 28 m il lions ; the commerc ial union of the north ern states of Germany 41 millions. Of these three areas that of the Zoliverein conning the greatest proportion of manufactories. The greatest trade in Germany is in the Hasse Towns. Holstein, Meckleaburgh, and Hanover bear away the poles in aviculture, which oleo preponderates in Austria. In the Zollverein, 10 per cent. of the population are employed in various kinds of manufactures; in Austria only 11 per cent. All the more important manufactures befog completely excluded by the Austrian tariff, the im ports of Attains amount, according to the latest official reports, only to twelve millions sterling, and the exports to eleven million. sterling. The Z .11verein, which admits all foreign manufactures at moderate duties, imported during the some year to the value of thirtri ight millions ster ling, and exported to the value of forty millions sterling The customs duties in Austria are computed at 16 per cent oa the value of the importation ; those of the Zollverein at 11 per cent. The amount of the exportation, in proportion to the population, is, In Austria, 6s. a head ; of the imports -64. Bd. ; the receipt of customs, 111 d. a head. In the Zollverein the amount of exportation ii 11.75. a head; of importation, 11 8s 61 a head ; of customs, 3i. • head. The re fore, whether the extent of trade, of production, or of the revenue arising to the state from the interchange with foreign countries is concerned, all is in favour of the Zo'l verein tariff as compared with that of Austria. But, according to the Austrian proposition, not the Zoll verein's tariff, but the tariff scheme of the society for the Protection of German Labour is to be adopted in the new commercial union. Bach a charge would differ from the introduction of the Austrian prohibitive system only in name, as a glance at some of the duties will prove, when we compare them with the average price of the articles out of Germany, in England for instance. Duties proposed English average price, by Austria. rix rte Per et. dollars. dollars. of value. Cotton yarn (German owt) 30 5 161 Cambria Jacconet Fancy muslin Pion es Velvet. (soltia) Brushes' Iron .

Linen yarn up to No. 26 from 26 to 60 Zarthenware These duties would manifestly have all the effect of com plete prohibition : the great gainers would be the smugglers. The duties levied by the Z ,llverein ou the same articles are in some instances one-half, in others one-third of the above ; and it may be safely affirmed that the adoption of the Aus trian tariff would very soon bring down the flourishing com merce of the Zollverein to the unsatisfactory condition of that of Austria. . . . The weak points of such a proposition are an obviocs that it is s rising that a scheme of the kind should even have been used as the mask of a political intrigue, for the arith metic of a child is sufficient to demolish it. But the Austrian cabinet goes upon • principle, which• is indeed sufficiently applicable to the population it governs, that few read, and still lees count. It might be supposed, from the zeal with which Austria advocates protection, that she had an important manutactur ing capital over which stiff was bound to cast her shield. Nothing of the sort. The sum total of manufacturers, big and little in Austria, amount" to 8,000, out of whom, perhaps, not more than 2,000 would extend their gains with the extension of their markets,—mad perhaps some 600 might become losers from that exten sion. The memorial of 104 Bohemian manufacturers de precating any relaxation of prohibition, lately presented to the government, proves that this fact is not apprehended in al its meaning by the manufacturers themselves ; and I have already adverted to the respect with which the government is constrained to treat the prejudices of this class. But these prejudices exist not only among the manufacturers, but co. exist to an extent quite remarkable with the profession of the Romau catholic religion. Meanwhile the Austrian government, whose influence outside as well as inside its own dominions is built upon the adhesion of the Roman catholic', has not improbably aimed this blow at the material interests of the protestant. of North Germany in orJer partly to flatter its religiuua and partly its commercial superstitions. Nevertheless, even the organs of the protective and Roman Catholic party abstsin from praising the Austrian commercial scheme, because thee know that the price demanded for it is the sacrifice of German unity and liberty, and the adoption of principles of government which fortunately are detested in the south as much as in the north. But the question lies no longer with the manufacturers or with the people to decide. It lies with the cabi nets; and when one remembers the small leaven of upriglAnees and intelligence which struggles against Austrian influence at Munich, Stuttgard, Dresden, and in the inferior states, it seems possible that the scheme may be not wholly unsuccessful in sweeping up a few effective adherent': _ - On the other band it cannot be denied that a customs union with Germany would be of infinite benefit to Austria. The majority of the Austrian manvfacturers would gain a more extensive market for their produce ; the superior in telligence and superior capital of the ZAlverein would partially settle in Austria ; the imports from the Zeillrerein into Austria would be hampered by the monetary embarrass ment and the silver ado as by • duty; and if the aid° were removed the Zollverein would be deluged with Austrian paper; so that in the event of Austrian bankruptcy, which seems sooner or later once more inevitable, the burthen would be shifted in a great measure from the shoulderslof the subjects of the insolvent imperial government on to those of foreigners. But one argument more than all others ought to weigh with Germany against the Austrian proposition, and that is the dependence to which all Germany would be reduced upon the integrity of an empire continually voted by rebellions nod wars as well as misgovernment. Every Austrian pest would then agitate the exchanges of Berlin, Hamburg, and Frankfort. With what satisfaction could the G rmans con template the security of a commercial frontier, whose cordon would be snapped by a Wallachian tumult or a Servian foray ? What guarantee would there be against a vast sys tem of smuggling such as already exists on the Bohemian and Italian irontier of the Austrian monarchy? On the other hand the interest of Germany in the security and peace of Austria would be a temptation for the German race to unite to rivet the fetters of Hungary and Italy. and to help the cabinet of Vienna to pile the weight of her crushioo tyranny upon those unhappy countries; au obligation from which every liberal mind throughout Germany shrinks with abhorrence. The cause of freedom may thank the Austrian ministry for having woven its intrigues so coarsely. Finally, according to the constitution of March, mat ters relating to customs and csrameree must be referred for deliberation end derision to the Reichstag. Therefore, be. fore the government can legally undertake to negotiate upon each propositions, it ought to get a commission from the Reichstag, which supposes the convocation of that paella ment•iry. body. Such an assembly would soon give a very different aspect to the question of commercial union ; partly because the present ministry would probably be turned out ; partly bonuse the great majority of the members, the Polish, the Hungarian, the Czechish, and Italian deputies, would, in the interest of their several countries, vote for Erse trade. VIENNA, MARCH 5. The Emperor presided at a meeting of council on the 3rd, at which tho proposals of the four kings were taken into consideration. The result has not been allowed to transpire. The presence of Count Benningsen, president of the Hanoverian misistry, among us has elicited a mass of unmeaning comments from the press. It is intimated, in dark, oracu'ar phrase, that his suasion has reference to the German question. There "needs no ghost from tho rave" to tell us this ; but what overtures is he authorised to make ? Hanover has taken up an isolate position; feels, as a matter of course, rather uncomfortable in it; and would fain find itself on more stable ground. It is possible, however, that the journey of the Hano verian ministerial president may have a quite con trary result. af*acn The board of direct ors o f t h e Indus VIENNA, trial Uni 6. on of Prague, appointed on th e I s t a deputation to proceed to the industrial exhibition of Leipeig, fixed for April, to examine the products of the kinverein indurtry, and to draw up a report instituting a compariso n with Austrian manufactures, with reference to the propc e d of the Austrian government for a tierman and Aus trian commercial union. The persons appointed to undertake this mission were the manufacturers, I. B. Peeks, Max Dormitzer, and the artisan Went* Wyskocil. The directors resolved to petition the government to provide these delegate with the news. nary recommendation. FRANCE. PARTS, Sumneor, 11 A.X. The legitimists are confirmed in their oppsi.ioa to the mayors' bill, by the rumour now rite of an intention, on the part of the government, to proms that the right of appointment to colonel Pies of the National Guard may be vested in the President of the Republic. Enormous bets are taken at the Bourne as to the result of the elections. The votes of the army, rot withstanding the largesses of the Pre s ident, see n likely to be given in majority to the candidate s of the democratic party. And it is certain that the list of the Union Electoral. has raised such dincon.ent many minds, that several who would have voted for other candidates on the first list, seeing the hopeless. neea of struggling for their friends, will vote for the red list, perhaps more in spite than from e,,aviction. The EvEnemext says that in the 62,001) votes of the preparatory ballot of the Electoral Union there were 4,000 for the list of the democratic socialites. The Sii'ck, which bad demurred to NI. et Flotte, and endeavoured at first to create a schism, now adheres to the whole democratic list. "We are informed," says the •Cii.cle, " that M. Roze, officier de pain, who had, on the 24111 of Feb., caused the crowns to be removrd from the C dun of July, was on Thursday evening invit&d to resign his place, and apply for his rearing pension. It is added that it:is a eub•chief of the police, M. Balettrino who is to replace him in his functions." , There is little in the journals besides exitortations to the electors to vote, 89 to-day is the first day of the elections. The Napoleon this morning witedraws its list and adheres to that of the Union Electorate, taking trial opportunity for putting forth a violtnt diatribe against the socialist candidates. It follows up the attack by endeavouring to prove to the repub licans that the ri pubic cannot exist with them, and concludes by saying, "Let us be a republic without republicans, that is, without aristocrats or absolutists of a new species." In the Assembly yertirday, M. Nlauguin's motion for the formation of national banks was r egatived, after a reply from M. Faucher to the arguments of the honourable mover. The committee charged with reporting on the demand to prosecute M. Michel de Bourges, for his alleged speech at a socialist meeting, have agreed to reject it. SUNDAY, 530 p. c . There is no news to give this afternoon. The elec.

The Patric says that the French fleet has rec iced orders to go to Naples to await the terminatioa of the Gretk affair. The Moniteur, as if to silence all rumours about s coup &flat, contains the draft of the organic taw, which distinctly defines the duties of the president, and, amongst other provisions, makes it high tres,an to change the constitution. The French fleet has heat ordered to Naple: , , to await there the settlement of the Greek question. The Napolion has the following paragraph :—" The French government has received the most satisfactory accounts from Prussia. The difficulties which were at one time feared on the subject of Switzerland have been smoothed down. On the one hand, Switzerland has acted with great firmness, and, on the other, Prussia shows her moderation aad good sense in all the observations which she has made on the subjects oa which our government has addressed her.
