becomes, however unrestrained the expressions of
personal feeling might be, the illustrious friends
would probably still remember that they are
monarchs specially united at the present moment by
common interests andcommon dangers. The present
moment is in many respects a critical one for
Eastern and Northern Europe, and the time may
have arrived for the three Christian Powers who
wept together over the fall of Poland to assist
each other as brothers in the new emergency. At
Kiasengen and Carlsbad business may thus be
united with pleasure, and the meeting of the
monarchs may have a political as well as a social
object.

The analogy of the put tends rather to favour
such a supposition, for though it is quite true, as
the official journal of Vienna reminds Western
Europe, that the more recent meetings of the
sovereigns of Eastern Europe have been attended
with no result, still the personal meeting of the
Emperors of Russia and At-STRIA, and the King of
Paussis, is an event of some historical signifi-
cance. The meeting of the Russian, Austrian,
and Prussian sovereigns at Verona in 1822 led to
the invasion of Spain, a crusade organized for the
sole purpose of restoring by force the despotic
government which that country had succeeded in
throwing off. At the bidding of the Verona
Congress constitutional government was de-
stroyed in the Peninsula, and the old
system of priestly absolutism restored by French
bayonets. Two years later, the same policy
was enforced against Portugal, constitutional go-
vernment being destroyed and despotism re-est►b-
lished through the action of the "Apostolical party,"
supported by the Holy Alliance. Still earlier the
same Holy Powers had actively intervened to
suppress the Neapolitan constitution, and through
their intervention, Naples and Sicily were subjected
for another generation to an uncontrolled despo-
tism which speedily became a barbarous tyranny.
These are some of the associations and results
in the past of the personal meeting of the three
sovereigns. There are many circumstances in the
political condition of Eastern Europe which suggest
that the meetings at Kissengen and Carlsbad may
have a similar object, that one of the motives of the
gathering may at all events be the hope of turning
it to substantially similar account. The Austrian
and Prussian Monarchs undoubtedly have interests
in common, and need each other's help, if not to
suppress the love of constitutional freedom and
national independence in other countries, at all
events to keep it effectually down in their own.
Russia needs the fraternal help of Austria
and Prussia to crush out the last
sparks of patriotism and liberty in the kingdom
of Poland. Austria needs the fraternal help of.
Russia and Prussia to confiscate the rights of Hun-
gary, and to make a second Warsaw of Venice,'
Prussia needs the fraternal help of Russia
and Austria to denationalize Posen and
despoil Denmark. It appears, moreover,
from the statements of the official journals, that
these Powers require each other's help to suppress
the rising spirit of liberty amongst their own
people. Not that the semblance of constitutional
government where it exists, as in Prussia and
Austria, is to be summarily destroyed. The Vienna
Prase explains that these Powers are not
in a position at the present moment to attempt
the open suppression of institutions professedly
liberal in their own States. But they can by
mutual agreement undertake that these institutions
shall be as harmless as a vaudeville.
