LONDON, TUENDA I', DEC. 11.

Tne telegraph informs us that FILENCIE 11. has
effected a loan at Vienna, and that the Counts of
Turn and Tains; the half-brother and the uncle
of his /GMI•TT, are rejoining the KING at Gaeta.
These are ably some of many recent indications
that the si-KING has conceived the design of
making sew end strenuous endeavours to reimpose
his yoke on the nook of the people of the Two
Sicilian. The recent outbreak at Caserta, and
the inssureelionary movements in the Atensni,
are among the consequences of this policy.
In these circumstances attention is drawn
with increased force to the anomalous relation in
which Francs stands to Italy. Everybody has
marvelled that a King who depends for protection
on a foreign power professing friendship for Italy,
should be upheld in prolonging a demoralising civil
war, and we are not surprised to learn that the
Emperor of the FRENCH has felt the extreme incest-
venience of his position. We believe we ams
correct in stating that his 'ennui ][asaery
does not see in the recent course of events
a fulfilment of his original intention. When we
first announced and complained of his interven-
tion, we expressed our conviction that he merely
meant to protect the person of the Knro, and to
save him from a humiliation, a most inadequate
reason as it appeared to us. We have reason
to believe that that protection will not be longer
allowed to become a means of protracting civil
war. Very soon, if FRANcis 11. will not go off
quietly, Gaeta will be bombarded by sea and land ;
and as the fire will be terrific, while the officers
within the fortress are disaffected, the result can-
not be doubtful or long delayed.

Tex resignation of M. &mons, the Minister of
Justice in the Cabinet of Berlin, is, we trust, an
act of penitence due to the universal indignation
of Germany at the scandalous disclosures made on
the trial of STIMI6 a Police Director of that
capital. After the abominable history of the per-
version of all law, justice, and humanity, laid bare
On that occasion, the Ministry of the PRIAM"
Rsoa.rr wee stricken to its basis. It was mise-
rable enough for Prussia to have a Cabinet week
and vacillating in policy, and perpetuating under
altered circumstances most of the old political
vices of the Prussian Government. But that a
Ministry of the Pluses Rtossr should be timid
enough to submit to the lawleu supremacy of the
police of the Baron MANTET: r ru. ; that it should not
have courage and strength enough to cleanse a
stable which was offensive at the very doors of the
Palace,—this was humiliation too great even for
Berlin to endure. No wonder, then, that such an
exposure of a corrupt police, accustomed to make
arbitrary arrests and long imprisonments of persons
innocent of all crime or offence against the laws
should have shattered the Cabinet of Prince Bonin-
zoiritax Sionsaixogs. The Silesia case very
properly brought it into universal contempt, and has
led to the resignation of the Minister more imme-
diately responsible. But will that resignation save
the Cabinet?

Certain it is that the opposition is immensely
strengthened, and that the flag of hostility to the
existing Prussian Government has been raised
throughout Liberal Germany. It will hardly be
satisfied with the sacrifice of a single minister,
thrown overboard to allay a popular outburst of
resentment which aims not merely at changes in
the Cabinet, but at a policy worthy of Germany
in the affairs of Italy and of Hew Cassel, and at
the inauguration of a parliamentary system of
government in the leading German State. In a
month's time the Prussian Chambers will have in-
susibled, and it is mon than probable that the go-
verrunent, if it endure so long, will then be
placed in such a minority on some motion
for the redress of grievances, as will
compel the Panics RYAIENT to look the great
questions which agitate Germany fully in the face,
and to decide at once whether the House of
Honrczoinr.ax will, or will not, place Prussia in
the position which the Prussians are determined
sooner or later to occupy.
The events of Italy, the achievement of its in-
dependence and unity, have produced an impres-
sion and a resolution in Germany which must be
reflected in its governments. The danger consists,
not in their adopting • policy of progress, but in
standing still or retrogressing. And if Prussia is
not placed in the van by its present Ministry or
Prince, Prussia will immune the lead without one
or the other—if absolutely necessary, without
either. It is in vain to conceal the immense pro-
f/nu which the great cause of German unity has
made within the last two months. The govern-
mews of the small States are all trembling, and

THE

the Sovereign of one of the minor I
least, appreciates the true character

movement. It was only the °the; day,
so we read in well informed letters from Germany,
that the Xing and Queen of 84xcar paid a visit
to Konigetein, the small fortress near Dresden,
where in periods of danger the treasures of that
capital are deposited, and the persona of the
royal family seek safety. The Queer remark-
ing that Konigstein was no longer the secure
place it used to be, and wondering how long it
might be ere she might again be under the neces-
sity of seeking refuge, received for a reply from
the limo that the time might be nearer than any
one had anticipated, and that he, for his part,
regarded the revolution now impending over Ger-
many as far more serious than that of 1848.
And, if we look to the proceedings of the Cham-
bers of the smaller States which are now in session,
the prognostics of Saxon royalty appear only too
well founded ; for in all directions they are put-
ting forth pretensions which four years ago would
have been regarded as preposterousand ridiculous by
their rulers, but which are now grave and resolute.
There is in all directions a demand for electoral
reform, for constitutional reform, for the abolition
of class, or privileged and separate, representation.
Year after year has only added to habits of equa-
lity in Germany, and the popular party will no
longer endure that privileges which in France
were scattered to the winds of heaven in 1789
should impede the progress of Germany in 1861.
It is because the reforms of Austria are founded on
the offensive principle of class representation that
they are tangled to scorn in Germany. Nor are
the demands of German Liberals limited to these
great political changes. Equally loud is the ay

for the abolition of the trade-gelds which still
exist in the smaller States, for liberty for artisans
to travel, to work where they can find employ-
ment, to marry and settle where they please—for,
in short, the liberation and freedom of human
labour.

The key to the removal of all abuses is in the
keeping of Prussia, for so long as she pursues a
narrow, sectional, restrictive policy—so long as
she hesitates to place herself at the head of
German nationality, the Governments are stronger
than the peoples in the smaller States, and the only
remedy is a democratic revolution of the worst
sort.

The choice is yet before the Palace R. 01211.
and the House of HOIIINZOLLIEN. Hippy will it
be for Europe if they unexpectedly rise to the
redeem of the fortune and duty before them.

PRESS. TUESDAY
LATE SA
IMPORTANT REFORMS IN AUSTRIA.

A despatch from Vienna in the Independence
Brigs states that the programme of M. Schmerling,
the new Minister of State, which has been accepted
by the Emperor, includes the abolition (the Nord
of to-day says the revision) of the Concordat, the
equality of all religious professions, the repeal of
the provisional statutes recently promulgated,
and the issue of a constitution common to all the
Germanic and &lave province'.
"This programme," observes the Nord, "is a
complete revolution ; it is the reconstruction of the
Austrian empire upon new bases. The difficulties
which await the statesman who consecrates him-
self to this gigantic and glorious task are incom-
mensurable, but the moment is supreme."

HUNGARY.

Advisee from Vienna &immune that numerous
corps of troops are being sent to Hungary. They
go from the Austrian capital and the other cities of
the empire, by railway, to Presburg, Raab, and
Perth.

The Austrian government, in order to prevent
new attacks on the imperial eagles in Hungary, has
ordered that they shall be everywhere removed,
except from the buildings belonging to the minis-
tries of finance and war. In the facade of the
town-hall at Perth there was for more than a cen-
tury an eagle sculptured in stone, but it has been
effaced.

PARIS, TUESDAY MOIUITNO.

The Moniteur publishes a decree cancelling the
asertissemertts given to the journals up to the pre-
sent date. The report of Count Persigny which
precedes this decree eontains the following :—" Obli-
vion of the past will be a new token tendered by
the generous policy of the Emperor, which aims at
the reconciliation and union of all the intelligence

of the country. I have invited the press to use
great freedom of discussion. But against those
who may attack the state my conscience will be
so much the freer and stronger because in effacing
the past, his Majesty offers to writers a noble
opportunity of displaying their patriotism."
The Moniteur also publishes a decree, organising
the government and superior administration of
Algeria.

The Moniteur says :—" The Marquis de Ploeuc,
Inspector of French Finances, who is now on a
mission at Constantinople, has not been authorised
to accept the post of commissioner for supervising
the returns of the revenues given as a guarantee
for the new Turkish loan."
The Moniteur

Count Baciocchi as Superintendent of the Imperial
Thsaires.

ITALY.

♦ despatch from Napkw announces that the
steam-frigate Govern°lo and the screw. transport
Tensaw arrived in the bay on the Bth, having on
board Piedmontese troops embarked at Genoa. In

Sicilia'', other reinforcements are to be sent thither
by the Piedmontese government.
The Nationalitis of Turin says that Victor Em-
manuel will stay at Naples until the end of Decem-
ber, where be will hold reviews, visit the hospitals
and public establishments, inspire confidence to the

Pepoli, royal commissioner in Umbria, has,
by a recent decree, applied all the houses and
furniture lately belonging to the Jesuits, now
suppressed, to the purposes of publia instruc-
tion. He is preparing a second dean% by which
all mortmain property is to revert to theuista. In
Sicily the want of a strong government was'shverely
felt ; such was the avidity of place-hunters, that
the Pro-Dictator, notwithstanding his firmness, had
been forced, not only to let the public exchiiquer be
exhausted, but also to impose heavy charges upon the
future, which, although they will be paid off in the
course of time, greatly increase the difficulties with
which the King's lieutenant will here to contend.
On entering Palermo, the Kingless accompanied in
his carriage by MM. Fanti, Casein* and the Pro-
Dictator Mordini—a public proof of his Majesty's
satisfaction at the services rendered by the latter,
as the friend and lieutenant of Garibaldi.

The Espero of Turin states that the Italian army
is to be divided into two great corps ; one to be
called the army of the south, the other that of the
north ; the former to be under the command of
General Della Rocca, with its head-quarters at
Naples ; the other under General Cialdini, with his
head-quarters at Milan. The reserve of both
divisions to be under General La Marmora. The
effective force of the army is fixed at 300,000 men.
The same paper states that on King Victor Em-
manuel's return to Turin, Prince Humbert is to
proceed to Florence, and stay there several months,
while Prince Eugene of Carignan is to proceed to
Naples.

PARIS, 110111 MT

Prince Napoleon gave a grand dinner the day
before yesterday, at his house in the Avenue Mon-
taigne, at which were present the Princess Ma-
thilde, several high personages of the court, and a
number of the Prince's friends. In the course of
the evening,M. Emile Angier read his new comedy,
Les Effroatis.
"It is stated positively," says the Patrie, "that
a despatch received from Malta announces that it is
to Moukden, in Tartary, the Emperor of China
has gone, but that the members of the Tribunal of
Rites, the highest authority in the Chinese empire,
remain at Pekin, to come to an understanding, if
possible, with the allies."
M. Guizot has made known to his colleagues of
the French Academy that he has received the
address of Father Laoordaire, to which be will
have to reply, and that it therefore appears certain
'that the celebrated preacher will be received
officially in the second fortnight in January.

Lord Bloomfield, Enh ambassador at Vienna,
and Lord Loftus, ambassador at Berlin, have
passed through Calais on their way to England.
A Paris letter of the 7th, in the Indipendance of
Brussels, says :—" Mr. Cobden, after a long stay
in France, the results of which history will have
to record, will embark at Marseilles to-morrow for
Algeria, where he is going to pass two months for
the benefit of his health."

There was a oonsiderable fall at the Bourse. The
Rente declined 26c. and 20c., cloning at 68fr. 76c.
and 68fr. Mc. Mobilier fell 2fr. 76c. In railways
there was little change.
