the ministers of the Vicar of the Empire would do
well to give themselves the trouble to show the world
that they are supporters of order and liberty com-

those Itt which we live it is not sufficient to be strong
and tint in support of order unless this order is
made conducive to the liberty and independence of
the patriotic citizen. But tho majority in the Franke
fort parliament is always dreaming that " the left" ie
setting some were for it. Ever sines minister*
were compelled to resign after the vote suspending
the treaty of Malmoe, the majority has fancied every
question a cabinet question, and has deemed it news-
eary, before any other coosideratioa, to look to
strengthening the hands of ministers, lest the period
of anarchy produced by the first ministerial crisis
should recur. Hence has arisen a kind of minis-
terialisme quqnd nkluse: which is the more to be de-
plored, that ministers have availed themselves of it to
evince a puerile fear of the revolution, and a danger-
ous tendency to the Gedizotisin of 1831 and 1832. This
disposition might carry us fir astray if our new
Guizots hail one spark of the genius which enabled M.
Guizot, of Ghent, to lead Louis Philippe to London. A
similar consummation would be all the more inevitable
that at the bottom the majority of our Frankfort par-
liament does not accord in opinion with its dearly-
beloved Schmerling micistry. To prove this it is
only requisite to direct attention to the essential dif-
ference which exists between the majority's vote on
the question relating to the actual state of Austria,
and its vote on the question of the relations between
Austria and Germany. The majority has decided to
leave the hands of the ministers, who have declared
unconditionally for the maintenance of order and
tranquillity, quite free ; this is its vote with respect
to the actual condition of Austria. Logically followed
oat, this ewe ought to have led to another for
the re-establishment of the Austrian. empire
as it existed before the revolution. But
the vote of the parliament or, the relations
between Austria and Germany cute the Aus-
trian empire in two ; takes German-Austria and
incorporates it into the German empire ; and haves
the other provinces of Austria to organise themselves
as they please—recognising no union between Ger-
man Austria and the Austria of the Selavonians,
Mmyers, and Italians, save the loose bond constituted
by the perused identity of their sovereign. This
view was affirmed in the parliament by a majority of
318 to 90 : it was curious to observe how still and
quietly ministers, after pushing forward M. Wurthe,
one of their under secretaries, to feel their way, con-
templated the untoward effect produced on
the Assembly by hie black and yellow (Aus-
trian) theories. Ministers did not venture
openly to avow their own wishes and opinions, op-
posed as they are to the sense of the majority—that
Geran Austria is part and parcel of the German
empire, and that the other provisoes subject to the
Holum of Hapsburg must remain connected with it
only by the slender bond of the sovereign's person-
ality, unauthorised to affect its nationality in any way
by their influences. This decision is bold, but it is
right. It remains to be seen whether it can be en-
forced without calling in artillery to the aid of words.
We believe that it will be necessary to invoke the aid
of artillery, and also that German Austria will soon
be compelled to invoke the aid of all Germany to
emancipate it from the chains about to I.e imposed
upon it be t mein sabres and Sclarocie carom.
Ministers displayed little courage when this ques-
tion was under discussion, for they silently gave way
to the majority. M. von Gegern showed more firmness;
sad we are sorry that on this occasion at least he did
mot follow the example of ministers. He proposed
to leave German Austria united to the other parts of
the Austrian empire as formerly, and to esteblith
separate leder.; compact with the Austriandominions
sa a whole. This would be in effect a partition of
Germany ; it would be to surrender Gennen Austria
to the domination of the Sclavonians ; it would be to
empower • Selavonisn majority to decide what ties
are to unite German Austria to Germany. Gagern
confessed himself that such would be the result of his
scheme. And if this result is really brought
about, Germany will richly deserve the humilia-
tion, for its clear and paramount duty is
to resist any partition. It is lamentable to
am Gegen desert his place by the side of those who
would rather die than give up five millions of Ger-
mans whom Germany ought not and will not give up.
I fear he has seriously injured himself by the inju-
dicious course be took yesterday ; I fear it, for Gsgern
has always appeared to be the man upon whom it
would devolve to ac re the reins of government in the
hour of peril. I doubt whether he will, after this,
be called upon to do so. I doubt and hope that I
deceive myself ; for G is one of the purest and
highest minded men wit* has appeared on the scene
of public business for many a day.
