PRUSSIA.—The following is our correspondent's
letter :
BERLIN, OCT. 6.
The Vienna treaty of September 30, concerning the
formation of a new provisional central power, or of an
interim, as it is celled, has now been ratified by both
Austria and Prussia. The Austrian ratification was
received here yesterday. On the 9th this treaty was
laid before the Verscaltungs-Rath by the Priusian
plenipotentiary Bodelechwingh. Hesse-Dermetadt,
Oldenburg, and the Thuringian states protested.
The good, credulous old Frankfort centre still hope
the Bundestaat is not entirely foundered. They
look upon the Reichstag as the field for still
fighting the last battle for the unity of Germany.
It is true the Reichstag is to be convoked.
But the least reflection will show that this assembly
will not be tolerated a moment longer than it goes on
doing the dirty work of the princes. There exists at
present no reason to believe that the democratic party
of those states which belong to the League of the
Three Kings will take part in the elections for
the Reichstag any more than the Prussian democrats
did in the elections for the present Second Chamber
at Berlin. The circumstances are precise'y the same
now as then, indeed rather more in favour of the
course adopted. Every man in Germany of the
liberal persuasion feels that it is hopeless to wag his
tongue in the face of the armed forces which cover
Europe. Every man of the contrary persuasion is
mounted far too high on his hobby to endure argu-
ment. The extremes of a Chamber chosen under any
equitable system of election could at the present
moment deal only in Homeric taunts or come to
blows. There remains a small clique of well-mean-
ing men between these antagonists, who are equally
despised by both. These will no doubt appear in the
Reichstag, as they have appeared in the Second
Chamber here, and a smell minority of them may
form a party of liberals, like that here headed by
Count Dyhrn. Their functions will also be pretty
much the same as that of the prevent Prussian Cham-
bers, to revise the draft of constitution. The same
questions, treated already at such length and with
such repetition at Frankfort and Berlin, will come
upon the tapir of the Reichstag, and wherever there
is the least straggle, who can doubt that it will be
decided in the reactionary sense. All that smacks in
the least of the revolution, will be by the operations
of this Reichstag cancelled.
The provisions of the treaty of Sept. 30 are very
severely criticised. Austria does not recognise therein
the Dreiki;nigsbund : but, in the place of this recog-
nition, it ie said that the matter of the constitution is
left to the free agreement of the states. But the
main subject of offence is, that the attribute of the
smaller council of the diet pats to the commission, an
arrangement the more important, as, during the 30
years of the diet's existence, a case very seldom oc-
' curred which was referred to the plenary assembly.
With this treaty a new epoch has opened for German
history, the main feature of which consists in the me-
diatisation of the second-rate German powers, as the
shoal of little princes were mediatised by the last ar-
rangement. Whether the steps thus made towards con-
centrating the total might of Germany in the hands
of Prussia and Austria will prove a benefit or the re-
verse, depends upon the issue of a mach greater ques-
tion which touches no nation singly, but embraces all
Europe. The solution of that question, the sovereignty
of the people, although abortive in 1848, will in due
time again occupy the world. Strong in this faith,
and in the persuasion that the tide of reaction cannot
at this moment be resisted with saves., the people
have laid aside their arms, sod bow their heads
silently to military sway. The scaffolds in the east
and west are fed with their victims, Eastatt emulates
Arad, and the only murmurs raised are in the remote
homes of an elder political civilisation. Meanwhile,
as to the modification which the treaty of Sept. 30,
introduces into the German question, this is rather
a partition between the two great powers than an
advance towards unity. No Bavarian, Swabian,
Franconian, or other denomination of German, can
read the constitution of the new provisional power
without feeling that Bavaria,Wurtemberg, Saxony, and
Hanover are henceforth politically annulled. Germany
is reduced to two camps, the Austrian and Premise.
The First Chamber was today employed in
the financial chapter of the constitution, whichTaitsi
lately so animated a debate in the Second—the debate
