FRANKFORT, Acorar 6.
I have just returned from a trip to Southern
Germany and Austria, and while my impressions
of the state of feeling prevailing there are fresh, it
may not be without interest to reproduce them.
Strange to say, the number of partisans of Prussia
has increased in Bavaria, Wurtemburg, and Baden.
There is everywhere the same belief that there is
no option between the protectorate of Prussia and
that of France, and neither the governments, the
army, nor the people, incline to the latter. Even
the peaceful merchants and manufacturers are
highly incensed against Franco since she has tried
to interfere in the new regulations of the Zollve-
rein, as any change would have led to their
utter ruin. In all these countries there is
the unanimous conviction that French inter-
ference in German affairs must be kept off at
any cost, and that it is infinitely better to sub-
mit to the hardships of Prussian domination than
to the favours of French protection. There is a
general desire that the States of Southern Germany
should join the Northern Confederation without
any further delay, and the sooner it is done the
better. In Austria people laugh at the idea that
their government would ever be so ill-advised as to
join the French in a war against Prussia. Austria
is no longer an absolute power, and neither the
Hungarian nor the Imperial Diet would allow
the government to squander the resources of the
country in so desperate an undertaking. All those
who are intelligent enough to have a political
opinion are quite satisfied that the Peace of
Prague -will, in its ultimate results, prove
beneficial to Austria. They are now fully con-
vinced that Italy has been a burden to her,
and that the pact of the old German Confederation
was what is called a lion's pact in this country;,
Austria having been bound to defend Prussia's
western provinces, while she got no assistance
when her own German provinces were assailed,
those German provinces being protected by their
I geographical position. When the visit Napoleon
1D to pay to the Emperor at Salzbourg became known,
a South German minister said Napoleon would
have his trouble for nothing, Austria being fully
resolved not to interfere in Prussia's affairs under
I any pretext whatever. There is therefore very
little apprehension in these parts that the unde-
niable jealousies of France will lead to a speedy
war, as her own forces would be utterly deficient,
while she could not find allies anywhere.
