LONDON, TUESDAY, Nornais 27.

The rest liberal party, not only that more adven-
turous portion of it which incurred defeat and which
suffers in exile, but that which deplores at home in
apparent resignation the general prevalence of a
military rtryime has at least wherewithal to console
itself under the weight of disgrace and calumny, by
observing the fear which its very name impose.
None could more truly repeat the adage of the poet,
Let them hate whilst they fear, than the liberals of
Europe might, when speaking of their proecribers
sod oppressors.
Wherever we regard, indeed, we see military rulers
commanding hundreds of thou ands of soldiers, and
yet trembling each at the shadowy grandeur of some
great liberal name. Wt at fear have not the Czar and
the Aua'rians shown of Kossurn? Their victory
seemed insecure as long as be survived : the triumph
tyranny Wes doubtful as long as he walked abroad.
They first demanded his head in the bullying lan-
guage of the coward. Reeisted, they humbled their
tone to crave his being kept captive. And it is diffi-
cult to tell which was meanest, the craving of the
executioner or the supplication of the gaoler. We
are not yet certain how far the latter has succeeded,
but we should hope its failure from noticing the diabo-
lical inveteracy with which the instruments and
owns of despotism ply the trade of forgery and of
falsehood.
This activity of hatred, however, defeats its own
object. For instead of crushing its victims, it, on the
contrary, elevates them to the rank of martyrs, and
saves them from an oblivion to which they might for
a time be consigned. Marl SOsinTll been left to
wander forth from the Danube a discomfited chief, he
and his cause might ere now have ceased to occupy a
place in the interest and admiration of the people
of Europe. Had WALDECK been allowed to
return to his native village, who would have
honoured his name ? Whilst by its trumped up and
nefarious accusation of treason, as well as by impri-
soning his person and menacing his life, the Prussian
government is making a martyr of a loan who bad
not the capacity or eminence to be dangerous as a
political chief.
The French government, though not playing so
cruel a part, is engaged in one equally impolitic by
the needless outrages which it daily heaps on the
republican principle and the republican party.
'fliers is no calm observer of the state of
Europe and of its different countries, who would
not declare the probability that the exile of
to-day will be the minister of to-morrow and
eke versa. Change is inevitable. For so foolish, so
timid, so undignified, and so incapable, are each suc-
cessive party which grasps power, that it is quite evi-
dentthe time and the trial must come round to those
most opposed to them in political opinion. No doubt
the provisional government of France, as well as the
'clothed governments of revolutionary countries, die.
played little wisdom. But do the reactionista dis-
play more? How is ACIIILLE FOULD superior in
either character or talent to 00IIDCHAUX—
M. LUIITTE to M. BASTIDE—Or General
Hatrreoun to General CAVAN/PAC? If the French
government, Wore the constitution, did not save
Italy, they at least did not betray Rome. And the
last is the only plain and patent act by which
President Louis NAPOLEON'S year of government
can be judged or marked.
The revolutionists of 1848 may thus have been
great bunglers, but we opine, not more so than those
who have taken their places. The revolutionists
could not perpetuate the powers, which they had so
hastily and unexpectedly been called to take. Are
the military chiefs, and the ministers in their employ,
founding any thing ? We cast our eyes over Europe,
and we cannot me that they are founding solidly or
wisely one single institution. The Austrian cabinet
is paltering and talking, having so lately given rep
logging and shooting, but with a constitution it is
making po way. Instead of minding its own affairs,
and consolidating. its own empire, Austria is at its old
tricks, meddling in the affairs of others, and striving
to tender the prospects of Germany. as blank, as bank-
rupt, as prohibitive, and as despotic as its own. The
Emperor and his ministers at Vienna have as yet done
nothing that can entitle them to the name of a
government. They are but a court-martial upon a
field of battle. If we look at Milan, Venice, Naples,
Rome—where nothing but tyranny, and misery, and
prieetcraff travail, we can only say that revolution-
ary
anarchy itself were preferable. For this might
lead to some compromise between freedom and
monarchy, whereas the present state of unmitigated
despotism can lead to nothing but the mos, san-
guinary revolution.
As to Italy, however, we feel that its fate ne
follow the fete of Germany. And Germany
has but commenced, we fear, a bug epoch of turbu-
lence and revelation. In 1848 it strode forward ;in
1819 it recoiled. These years, however, are but the
two first 'tete of • very long and intricate dance, of
which none can foresee the evo.utions, and of which
we can only, in truth, predicate one thing, which is,
that it will continue.
But Germany is yount, strong, full of ideas, impulses,
and hopes. 'lin i t t wild* something, and arrive at
something, note need for a moment espair or doubt.
Batof France we have our fears; fears of itsever reach-
ing a settled state, or of emerging from the dread al-
ternative of insurrection or repression. Its several
parties are fur the present employed in taunting,
outraging, and provoking one another; in short, in
creating those passions which, in 1792, erecter
the scaffold in the place of the altar. The country is
a republic, a term of government to which the Wiper
dosses have submitted and sworn allegiance.. Yet we
are daily t3ld, and they tell us, they abhor it; and
that it has LC":1 imposed upon them, a majority of
monarchists, by a beggarly minority f republicans.
What a miserable let of poltroons most the
monarchic majority be so to have bowed the
head end accepted the yoke of what they
abhorred—and what a heartless and womanly
set they are not to rise at once and declare their
will to hi t'Ait of t* e maj,ii•y—a will which, if
their lie.uds at.:l award' declared, none dare: gain.i.iy.
