LONDON, MONDA Y. SEPT. 11

'fru central power of Germany has signalised its
secession to office or to life by taking in hand the two
great questions of the day—the Schleswig Holstein,
and the Italian difference. We fesr it will manage
the one no better than it has facilitat el the other.
It threatens indeed to do no less than undo the
armistice as to Schleswig. The Provisional Govern-
ment there threatens to resist, and should free corps
from Germany support them, the affair may tarn out
serious. Some of the conditions of the armistice were
certainly ill-advised, especially the appointment of
Count MOLICS. The ler gth, too, of the armistice
was egnally.suspicions and wrong. And so was the
declaration the official Frankfort paper on the
very morning. of the debate, that the only way of
fl ally adjusting the difference was to refer a to the
arbitration of England. Between these blunders of
the Pruesian,Dannh,and Frankfort mioisters, and the
rather headlong zeal of the German- parliament, the
pesos effected by the armistice nay be perillt d, if
act by sea, at least by land, and considerable difficul-
ties thrown in the way of a final with ment.
The affairs of Italy are even still more difficult.
We have previously pointed out the effect produced
on the mind of all Austrian statesmen by their
wonderful and unheard of success in overawing so
many menacing enemies, and quashing to many for-
midable causes of dissolution. WINDIriCIIORATI in
Prague, JELLACHICH in Hungary,the one by crushing
the Bervian race, the other by making nasal its arms,

as if Austria was ascendant everywhere. It is not
the moment to listen patiently to French dictation.
And they were filly Prepared to set it at nought, aid
either to march upon Cu aute-Autear and crush
him, or force him to a neace apart from the mediating
powers. CAVAIONAC'S feint upon Venice has dis-
turbed all these calculations, and there is no certainty
as yet of what it may give rise to. It seems extremely
unlikely that a mediation clngged by the terns upon
which Austria has offered to accept it, can wow to
anything.
A great deal may depend upon the part which
Oernien opinion is likely to take in the affair. It was
already much aroused by the blewkade of Triode, a
German port, and the great t teflon of the future Oer.
man marina But, independent ot political or senti-
mental considerations, another element has much in-
fluence—and that is the commercial. The Germans
nu more than the Austrians are blind to the immense
additive that the poss.ssiou of Lombardy would give
to the power and prosperity of a commercial union, of
which Germany was the centre. Since Spain was
set free, French and English have bets squabbling

Then it has income an axiom with all people,

least, as to render both «ycond-rote places. We can-
not but think this quite a mistake. Tilted's, as the
great Getman outlet and inlet to the Mt-din-ream-an,
has a source of prosperity quite independent
of Venice, of which nothing can deprive it.
