as its members are so tkieleat 'a ability, that
the ministerial club at the Casino, while
courting their votes, publicly calls them
the club of imbeciles. Time two slabs can turn the
vote in favour of the right or the lilt as they please.
They are composed of the mut iaelgailicaat members
of the Assembly ; but that dose wet deprive them of
their casting vote. The WI may be said to be the
heart, and the right the head of Germany ; but the
belly lies between them, and the last neater is sure
to have it. This is pitiable, but it is the way of the
world.

These two clubs mimpose the centre, and represent
the combined cowardice, indecision, ood nature. and
selfishness of Germany. It is to them that all re-
marks on the eft cts a parliamentary vote will have
on the course of exchange are addressed ; it is to
them that all appeals, which falsely represent the
friends of liberty as a blood-thirsty crew. are made.
The party of the right is compoeed of tl:e oppo-
nents of the revolution of 1818 —of men who wish to
continue Promises, Austrians, or Bavarians—of men
who are employ's, professors, and nothing more. This
party understands the game it plays, and takes the
lead at present. Bat it is mistaken if it thinks it can
count upon carrying the centre along with it, when
its ulterior views are unmasked. This poor belly
is panic-struck at present by visions of republicans,
bat it has no liking for the red monarchy of Win-
diechgrats, Itadeski' and Wrangel. As soon as it
discovers what the leaders of the right are driving at,
it will torn its back upon them and throw its weight
into the scale of the left. This may oome to pass
sooner than any one expero, tar the men in the
ascendant at Vienna and Berlin are advancing at a
quick march pace.
But when the centre deserts the camp of the right
to seek refuge in that of the left, it will be as in-
capable of thinking or acting for itself as it is at pre
sent. It will IN rmit the left to lead it by the nose
just as the right leads it now. And then perhaps we
may find ourselves hurried towards a republic as ra-
pidly as they are dragging us at present towards a
end mennesity. We are treading the same path that
°diet end Louis Philippe to exile and France to
nearby, held in check by Cavaignac's sabre.
The Schmetling minister is sick even unto death.
The centre, aid even the right, believe that it has
betrayed the cause of Germany to the House of Haps-
burg. A shade of suspicion has been cast even on
the Archduke John. There are few who do not be-
lieve that it the Austrian deputies are obliged
to retire from the Frankfort pariament the
Archduke John will not remain long be-
hind them. The events of the lest fortnight
have unsettled everything in Germany. Revolutionary
projects are again taking possession of all heads : it
is impossible to conjecture how long it may be before
they set the arms in motion, but it is certain that it
will set them at work some day, and, in all likelihood,
a tabula rasa will be the result. In the meantime
the German parliament will continue to vegetal%
unless some accident inspires it with energy to rise to
the views and wishes which predominate in all that
is young, energetic, brave, and generous in Germany.
An opportunity of thusrising may be afforded by the
of events in Prussia, as soon as the court
rhnirr itself strong enough to unmask its game; or
by the progress of events in Austria, if the Italian
difficulties require the intervention of Germany.
But, at present, our parliament is powerless and
despised; and the beet thing that could happen to it
would be—to be treated by the higher powers as it
deserves. That, I believe, would work a change in
its temper and conduct.
