THE NATIONAL REGISTER. the conkderates; to intimidate them with the prospect of deserved punishment ; and above ail, to throw out a half hint that BUON.ipARTE is not unacquainted with proposals made then% on the part of Austria. An important conclusion we may, however, dr::w from this lettei-; the subjects of ti confederate Princes 3'C disposed to rise ::gainst their Governments in favour of Austria. T; :s we long since expected. The two kingly Inc:l:hers the league hale been always obaoxious:to their suirj::cts—aas aria and Wur temberg ; the former oa account of religious innovations disagieea to the great majority of the Bavarians; the latter on account of his private character, as well as system of Go vernment; he is a tyrannic father, and a tyrannic regent. The former causes of discon tent arc now ulcered,in consequence of the conseriptioa and the lons of German independence, into inveterate abhorrence of their Sovereigns. The venerable grand Duke of BAnEN, respectable for his private virtues, is converted into a mere cypher, since the marriage of his grandson with a niece of ad. BONAPARTE. If he had even the power and the will to act against Austria, his means are extremely limited and precarious. The greater part of of his territofy consists of provinces, which a few years belo!Ked to the House of Austria. The same remark is true with regard to Bavaria, Wurtemberg and the other members of the Rhenish confederacy—The acquired pro inces, which surpass in size their ancient possessions, have not forgot their antient attachments, and will display :t marked reluctance to co-operate in the %ICUS of their new re:;ents. The same observation is true with regard to W•stultalia, to flanover, and even to Saxony - -They detest the Lew order of things. The former impressions, the Old attachments, have acquired vigour from adversity ; rand they look up to the success of Austria, fur the restora tion of w hat they so ardently desire.
