rassment. It is evident that his }tangent had hoped
to be free from external difficulties, and that in
quietness, peace, and economy he should be able to
get the better of his Parliament. The event has
shown him the danger and fallacy of such calcula-
tions. The sovereign who quarrels with his people
inevitably tempts his neighbours and rivals to
take advantage of his weakness. Austria has done
so in the present instance. Whether the advances
of Austria will result in the union of Germany we
cannot yet pronounce. But it is tolerably evident
that they already menace the Prussian Kingdom
with disturbances and its dynasty with destruction.

A letter from Baden of the 7th says :—"The
present state of the political world ban told on the attend-
ance of 'the distinguished foreigners' ►t Baden this
season. The Russians, while Poland is in dames, have
other channels for their roubles ; and the Americana, end-
ing the sources of their wealth so cut off, have abandoned
their trips to Europe. Consequently one misses the display '
they created in the promenades, the theatre, and on the
race coarse. Still, the Austrians number tolerably strong,
and there is a fair sprinkling of Italians ; and yesterday
several notabilities, released by the breaking-up of the
Congress at Frankfort, were present at the rams. Among
them Lord Granville, the Queen of Prude, the Grand
Doke and Ditches' of Baden, and t►e King of Holland,
occupied the royal stood, and the arrival and departure of
their respective equipages and corteges seemed to inspire the
Engllsh rialtos" with considerable interest"
