The proceedings of the German. Diet referred to testetday present at once an indisputable evi dence of the plot against human liberty prepared by the Austrian and Prussian despots, and the only unerring guide to an escape from destruc t:on on behalf of the people of the threatened States. - There is, as we have hinted, no room to doubt that the lot of Poland has long been destined for all of the German nation which is not already embraced within the dominions of the great military monarchies; and the wretched submission of the diet to the decrees of Metter nich and his Berlin colleagues prove, that in the constituted powers of the several States no serious obstacle reed be apprehended by the future partitioners cf Germany. Against power so established and concentrated as that of the Courts of Berlin and Vienna, there is no defence but in a complete partnership of feeling and action among the secondary and minor States. The number of these States, indeed—not less than thirty—would seem to a common-place observer, to oppose no slight impediment to the adoption of any harmonious and con sistent policy on their part, inasmuch as it must lay open an encouraging field to the ac tivity of corruption, misrepresentation, and intrigue. But let it be recollected how vast is the object, and how glorious would he the triumph, of such an enterprise for the relief of Germany, anti the final protection of Europe ; and then let not a noble and patriotic under taking be abandoned without at least one virtuous effort to accomplish it. The popula:ion of the secondary and inferior States which send repre sentatives to the Diet amounts to about 15,000,000.. Could these be animated by a common spirit of hostility to the two great Courts which are manifestly conspiring their subjection, and of reliance on each other for the good of all, there is no question that a power might be set on foot which, with the countenance of France and Eegland, would have nothing to fear from Prussia and Metternich united. And why should such a prospect be looked upon as wholly vain ? The burden which weighed down Germany from 1806 to 1813, was not more grievous than that which is now prepared fur her. The sense of shame and misery was not more painful than that which ought to be produced by the - language of the despotic Diet, and by the schemes of tyranny and ruin which it indicates. Napoleon was an arbi trary conqueror, but not more arbitrary than Francis, or Frederick William ; yet what Gentz recommended to his countrymen in 1806, was executed by them in 1813,—a league of the people against the oppressor, whom they at tacked, anti in two campaigns overturned. What are the words of that able arid eloquent Ger man ? When a " people or a generation is E 0 fir degraded by selfishness, and by a low and contracted manner of thinking, as to have lost all sense of public interest, as to weigh the value of independent existence in the same balance with the commonest benefits, and to view the loss of liberty and honour as an event of indrf h-renee, then it is no longer time to appeal to noble feelings—slavery ,is _ complete before the oppressor has appeared." These words were written to stimulate the universal mind of Ger many against the crushing sway of Bonaparte. le he subsequent passages of the address, a union of the people is everywhere pointed at, as that instrtoi.ent which alone can work out the salvation of their country. It did not appear chimerical to Gentz that such a league should be contemplated. He thought it not Impose sible that sordid interests might be set aside, —• hat little jealousies might be for gotten,—that noble sentiments might supersede all others, and one heart direct and impel thr energies of 30,000.000 of a warlike nation. And what was the cause for which Gentz ap pealed to German honour? It was the cause of iudepeodence, to be sure ; but of the inde pendence of native upon foreign Governments. It was emphatically in the cause of Princes that he besought the people to shed their blood. That the despotism of Napoleon was a foreign despi tism, must be acknowledged, anti that topic was skilfully urged by • the patriotic statesman. But what was the pressure of Napoleon upon the heads of German Governments, compared with the torment inflicted bythese same Govern ments upon the rights and comforts of individual men. If the German patriot fought in 1813 for his German master, how much more powerfully is lie appealed to now on behalf of his own 11- -berties as a freeman ! For the assault of the Austrian and Prussian absolutism is twofold,— it applies the lash to each feeble Sovereign, for no purpose but that he tnay scourge his unhappt subjects in their turn. In many of the smaller states of Germany, the ruling power is well-dis posed towards the introduction of liberal in• stitutions, but this master-demon interferes. and cries out, " In the name of my vested interest in 30,000,000 of slaves, not a man throughout all Germany shall breathe the air of freedom." Then if, in 1813, the brave German people rose with one will for the restoration of power to the hands of their native Princes, will they now be dea' and torpid, when the question involves the per sonal safety of each family beneath its own pro per roof ? If the Sovereigns of the smaller states will transfer the machinery of a Diet to its wise and virtuous purpose, and instead of sub jecting their suffrages and resolutions to the sel fish commands of Austria, if they will vote and decide ith one accord in favour of their °Wit independence and of the welfare of their subjects, against the cruel usurpation which aims at sub verting boll, they have before them an easier and far more glorious work than that which titer before coutributed with the greater German Powers to accomplish. France, England, HOl land, Switzerland, and the Rhenish provinces, even under the nominal rule of Prussia, will ,be will them. The master mind, the Maurice of Saxony, the William I. of Nassau, may not in• deed yet be forthcoming, but events will create him. The stake will stimulate the player. If he be not among the Princes, look amongst the peo ple, and he will soon be found; that mine is yet un nth d, and it is inexhaustible. Where could the British Goveinment, the liberal Government of England, discover or propose to itselfa more heroic end, than the emancipation of the secondary German Powers from the horrible bondage just disclosed in all its terrors by this formal dentin dation of the Inquisitorial Court at Frankfort ? Could England coalesce with France for ,the furtherance of a more beneficent or exalted po licy than the encouragement of a league of free German States—a defensive league against the aggressions of the sabre ? We have' Ministers there ; and in spite of Austria, Prussia, ay, an d Hanover,—that reptile which we warmed, aim whose venom we have nourished,--a British Cal Met may yet, have the glory of aneouncin g , that if the Diet, and the Hanoverian delegate among the Int st forward of them, have resolved that there shall be no freedom of speech or They who expect from the Germans an' of those rapid combinations and splendid efforts which reflected such honour on French bravery iu the famous three days of July, will assuredly he disappointed. .1 his is not in their character. They are of too tame a character to attempt a 'ling out of the common track. Their separa tion, too, into different States throws almost in superable difficulties in the way of great combina now. The armies, too, have little of the chivalrous ardour possessed by the French. The German soldier is the last who would think of refusing to obey any commands. In the Peninsula Do Rocca observes, that the German soldiers were proof against all impulses. After the defeat of Cuesta, when it became necessary to convey bands of Spanish peasants from one extremity of Spain to ►he other, the Frenchman in charge of prisoners sometimes connived at their escape when his feel rigs were touched ; and at last they were obliged to employ exclusively on this duty Germans, in whom mechanical obedience is a second na ture. We fear that the soldiers will act against their countrymen without remorse, if they are ordered to do so. They will be blind instru ments in the hands of the Monarchs. But the dragon's teeth now sown will spring up, in time, armed men. Even Germans may, in time, be brought to perceive that there is a period beyond which endurance ought not to extend. They may be brought, in time, to the temperature Of action. The Constitutions cannot be destroyed without engendering dangerous feelings in the bosoms of the most apathetic. Fortunately, too, the people on the Rhine, on whome these at tempts are about to be made, are of a more hardy and vigorous character than the inhabi tants of the sandy plains of Prussia and Hano i:en—Morning Chronicle. Some of the Subs of the Opposition attempted again last night to attack Mr. Hume for his vote upon the Russian Dutch Loan on Monday last. We are not surprised. It was, no doubt, wormwood to the faction, to find that the bait with which they had calculated on catching the economists, proved so utterly useless, and the operation of chewing the cud of their failure is far from pleasant. We have already expressed our opinion of the conduct of the Hon. Mem ber for Middlesex on that occasion, and we feel satisfied that not only his constituents, bul the mass of the people of England, agree with us in it. The dissentients will be found only on .he Opposition benches of the Hon. House, or amongst the small remnant of disappointed To ries out of doors, whose notable scheme for turning out Loid Grey's Administration was so signally disappointed, and who are tainted alike by the disgrace of the attempt and of the failure. Mr. Hume may justly be proud of the part he played ; and if proof were wanting, he might rind it in the irritation and soreness of the To ries. And even this party really think that they can delude the country into a belief that they ':are for the public purse, or delude themselves, into a notion that they will populariie themselves or detract from the popularity of their oppo nents, by such tricks as that of Monday, or that Our readers will do well, in order to learn the true character of the present Opposition in both Houses of Parliament, to glance for a moment at the speech of Mr. Dawson last night in the one, and of the Duke of Wellington in the other.

BAB* BAGS, in his admirable little work on the Economy of Manufactures, has a new plan of conveying the mail. The immense revenue of the Post Office would afford means of speedier conveyance; the letter , b.gs do not ordinarily weigh a hundred pounds, and are yet conveyed in bulky machines of some thous ind times the we•ght, drawn by four horses, and delayed by passengers. The rail-road and the steam-carriage will probably soon relieve the 'peen.. loor. Mr. BABBAGE proposes the, erection of pillars along each line of road ; these pillars to be connected by i..clined wires or iron rods, along which the letters, in closed in cylinders, attached to the rod by rings, are to slide; persons stationed on these columns are to forward the eyl nders from each point, after having extracted the contents helongine to their own station. In this manner it is calculated that a letter might be sent (from pilhir to p .et) to the farthest limits of the land in the course of a very small portion of time ; from London to York pr..ba.- lily in an hour or two. In the absence of these pillars, and in the interior dis-ricts, it is suggested that church steeples, properly selectef, might answer the purpose; and in London churches might be used fur the circulation of the twopenny post.
