LONDON: 11011rDlY. AFOUL 12, 1819. The ►eported conspiracy against the life of lb. Emperor of AUSTRIA will, no doubt, tenths.. to oc. copy the attention of Coart.writers, at least for some time to tome. The fact,lowevor, being ewascertain• ed, and, probably, invested as so episode to the his tory of the assassination of Kouraut, we shall say no more of it at present, bet that ono of oar own phrenitic assailants of every thing which feuds in the most remote manner, even to ;voila oat the necosaity of s Reform, or that contains the sour', Freedom in political metiers, affirms, titiat the deed Is very likely to have been conceived by the Carbonstri ; for that, in fact, liberal ideas of the present day are marked in their progress by a ready propensity to massacre and igation!! Now, is it not a pity that such infuriated enemies to public freedom were ever taught to write? While they lament the death of one me.' gads to Liberty, they would behold with complacency the evecotion of a dozen generous and over ardent friends to their Country, who should follow the in trepid path of nor Ilameorms or Russmas! ! ? Bat an estraordinary circumstance connected with t'., above writer and his invective', is, that no sooner Las h. expatiated upon the crime of drawing resent• 'tient on the head of a pseudo-patriet, sod thereby countenancing assassioation, hot he falls withnat mercy upon an elevated isidivisiusl by nine in.! • See, the corlided.in Minister of the king of litamcc, declariog that he has for the last throe years paid with the public money of the FrenA mi litia, traitors sad aiturssts to corropt public nidni..n in France and other coentries, so that no Sovereign's life will be safe for three years, unless his (the Ui• iiister's) midget be denounced and crualreil.— Now this diatribe has been so often repeated, that we de think the accused eight at once to put the as. eerier to the peer or recastation. These accusa tions are Ilk, throwing ordure I■ the fair path of reel oat and iod•prodeoco of seotimeot o and which ►t to be cleared •say by tho fool bands of those who commit the dirty offence. We take the following from an Irish Journal, the writer of which does honour to the United Riogdenis for the liberality of his seroiments on all political occasions, and for this good senile with which be has penned this article:— " Kotzebue, though by no means at the bred of the German dramatist., web better known as a dromatic author in England, and, indeed in every part of Europe, Aso any of them. Author of the ONIGINAL Pizarro, of Lover's Voles, sad of the Stranger, there were few men more applauded en the stage, or more ■based in the closet. It is prin. tipsily, if not solely, to the influence of this writer that the British stage has been Germanised—that highway robbery lies been made amiable—and adultery, for the first time, rendered venial. Ilis influence extended beyond himself, for his writings gave lbw stage a bias from w hick it has not yet reco vered. hle/o Drente, • hich consists in violent eon. tract, and in pantomimic effect, may be traced up to the period in which his Plays became fashionable. We had aentimestal Comedies before, but it was this other who justified, sentimentally, .11 ihr abet. rations from moral conduct. Bet it 'isnot to Comedy alone she consequences were confined. It spread its devastatitsg influence into Trag►dy. It is to the vile original save in trace the llertrams, and the shock ing snowier. that have so long continued to diapers the stage, arid to indirt such serious woaods upon the morality and taste of the Public. " it was not, however, by his dramatic writings alone, that hi. KOMI= become celebrated. In the beginning of the French Revolution, be was a red• hot Jacobin. The Editor of The New Times was not a greater fri►nd of iluassettaitc, DANTOX, and MARAT, than Accurrus Von Koczcays—nay, we question whether Mr. SourittY himself, the Loyal Laymen or Mr. CoLaminae, the Sepra•Loyal Lec turer, wets et this time so eager and sealoes Ramolu. tionists as the German Apostle.—lt is ackoo•ledged, that he has done ostensive injury, sot only to the morals het to the political feelings of the German People. A rapid and fascinating writer—he devoted Disabilities to the propagation of Jacobioism in politics —and to the unsettling the moral feeling of the youth of Germany. That be has been too succession the melancholy circumstances of his death bear ample testimony. " When the power of France began to be curtailed and that the stir of NAPOLCON was no longer the ascendant, KOTZENUE, like many of our Home Ma nufacturers of Literates., cheated his hand and checked his pride.' fle became the violent opposer of those principles end persons he had advocated with such unfortunate success in the sully pert of his career. Nay, it is said that he had become the lite rary and political caterer of the Emperor ALIZ. A "MEN, and that he was in the habit of transmitting to oat Monarch, articles, by no opens palatable to the Princes or People of Germany. The correspendanre was detected, and broeght considershlediograce on the head of the untortessate Letter Writer, bit hefted pre viously rendered himself obooairses by his writings, and from being a popular writer among the young, whose principles he bad contrived to unsettle, he became odious. Wise as be was in worldly affairs, and naturally rain, be seems to have attributed too little power to his own writings. 11. had sown the dragon's teeth, end he was one of the first who fell a victim to the harvest of death which they proctored. He died by the bend of an *gamin, wbo doubtless compared himself to llntres, and thought he was doing • meritorious action. Sects a defector wield have been, beyond ell doubt, a dramatic hematite of KOTZASUE—he would have presented him as en amiable enthusiast, sod as a meritorious sufferer in the f liberty. " It is not, however, the murder of this man, shocking as it undoubtedly is, that appears to es of sn much impatience, as thee:ample which is thee af. forded of the present state of political feeling in Ger. many. It is tree, it was only a youth who committed the crime; bet from the particulars which we collect from the last Foreign Papers, it will be collected that so Association exists in Germany, somewhat equiva lent to that of the Fare KNIGHTS who flourished in the fifteenth century, and whose instruments wrath, cord and dagger. Thet Association made all the Princes in Germany tremble. There was no swop isqg a sentence once pronounced. Detection nes impossible. The mind of Germany at preeent, it is acknowledged en all hands, Is in a slate et the , utmost fettnentatinn. Disappointed in the pro. mises of Constitutions, or amused with the pretences of liberty, they are eaeoperated to madness.— There are no People . so enthusiastic, nr so con. *tont end perorating in their enthusiasm. They feel that they or& to be a great People —that they ought to be united—that the interests of all, well I en derstood (and they appear to understand them now), are the interests of each, and that they should not be parcelled out like so many docks and herds between the shepherd*, who shear them at their pleasure, and is ho kill them when their am. biting' prompts. They perceive that their Princes have no ieterest in common with the People; and, indeed, how can they, seeing that their territories are so much divided, end that a transfer has been mode *huh almost deprive, n Geri:tea ham basting a l country.

A treat number of persona, of the sect of Carbunari, have in consequence been arrested. It appears, le. cording to these letters, that the cnnapiracy was only diaenvered half an hour previous to the period when it via on be attempted to be carried into inecetion. This intelligence certainly went, confirmatinn: but it ia circulated with gloat confidence, and obtains credit. The Journals of Thursday lend neither to confirm nor contradict the above rumour. The Journal del D►bate contains the following psrsgroph, which looses the matte► in the same doubt, bet which is r deserving of antic.:—" A Journal of yesterday atintsesiced an attempt to poison the Emperor of AUSTRI t, at Mantua, which is attribeted to the Reef of ( orbonari ; and it is added, that the commission of the crime was only prevented by a discovery made half au hour before it was to have been carried into effect. The profound sil►ace of the Italian Journals is no proof of the falsehood of this statement, bat nor private correspon•lenre also is equally silent re. 'petting such an event We should not, however, be surprised to find it confirmed : it is in the spi►it of the pretended Reg tors of Europe, who in giem projected the compelling Sovereigns to sign de. clarations by force, and who in Ge►many poniard writers when they venter. to loomask the lejal tentions of this party.
