LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8.

Tim abandonment of all the popular principles of
German unity, and the sacrifice dal independent and
constitutional system of government in Germany,
having been consamrcated at Warsaw, in exordium
with the desires and congratulations of our contempo-
raries, it is quite misplaced of them to continue to
commiserate Prussia, or to represent it, es the Times
does, threatened by a dismemberment of Silesia. Let
it not be supposed that it accords with either Russia
policy or interest to weaken Prase's. AU that Russia
requires is, that Prussia should be, like herself,
absolutist and military, and in the oocoems of Europe,
that the voice aid the weight of Russia of Austria, and
of Prussia should go together, as they were wont to do
in the goad old times. This triple shiacce being fully
restored, Russia, instead of seeking to curtail the
territories ot Prussia, wiil b 3 inclined to extend them.
The events of the last weeks have formed a kind of
campaign, in which, although there has been no
fighting, there has been a signal victory. Constitu-
timelines and its party are crushed, and, we may de-
pend upon it, that the victors will not be content
without addi-g prize money to their laurels and pro-
ceeding tombs:lithe spoils of the dupes.
We may depend upon it that the Conferences at
Vienna will not be spent in corstitution-mongering.
The three powers that met in the last century fur the
partition of Poland are now to meet for nothing less
than the partition of Germany. And the ministerial
revolution which has taken place at Berlin merely
means that Pros-is., instead of being the victim, is to
be one of the victimisers. We have little doubt that
one ot the terms of accord between the rival empires
of the noeth and south will be an exzhange ot Baden
for Hesse, the Premises withdrawing from the former,
the Austro-Bavarians frees the latter. Holstein will
no doubt be thrown to Denmark; but we are mach
mistaken if Hamburg be not at the same tree flung
to Prussia. Bavniii cannot ho contented with less
than the possession of Frankfort, which, by the by,
has been already delivered up to Bavarian troops.
And fire cities, we may be certain, will be no longer
tolerated iu the rew absolutist federation.
What part in the spoil Russia is to have does not
appear. But no doubt the moment will be chosen for
. completing the ardor ie of Poland. Its complete
division into Russian provinces, and sbeorption in the
Russian empire, hes been far some time to progress.
Poland has been already divided into Greek bishop-
rics, not as Cardinal WIST.Mad has divided
England, but with large landed property at-
tached to them. Tie Greek churches, which
otherwise would has., remained empty, have
been CIA by the It roam military and cm.
ploy's. And the transfer of the imperial residence
fee a large portion of the 3.. sr to Warsaw will com-
plete the work beeen. Whether there may not be
some advance et the Russian frontier westward seems
doubtful, Prussia, of course, ieceiving indemnity west-
ward ; and whether Ramie, by virtue of this ad-
vance, may not insist, on her old pretersioa, of becom-
ing our of the Genital confederation, is another
quest:on. nu*, indeed, as acknowledged arbiter and
suzerain over the two great German monarchs,
Russia already rules that Federation.
As to Prussia, we alma that there was no medium
policy open to it. Belong it must tither to the
constitutional west or the absolutist east. If sup-
porod by n. ither, it must have fallen a prey to both.
And whihit democracy undermined it on one side,
the great military powers would have overran it on
the ether. The noble words of CONDORCET are well
known, in which he said he was left no choice but to
be either ex Tutor*: or victim :
On me lases le Adz Ceres be:lmin on victims;
Je ire mallimir, et leer lairsei le crime.
To Prussia was presented a similar alternative. In-
stead cI choosing to be victim, however, that monarchy
his preferred to enact executioner. And in that
capacity we shall nl doubt soon see Prussia at work.
The Time*, which his is appetite for devouring a
Schleswiciloleteiner file breakfast every morning,
draw. a formidable picture of cn Austrian army march-
irg from the Mains into the DsLish peninsula.
The Timrs need be in no ahem for any such expedi-
tion, which would be more disgraceful to the Prus-
sians than for themselves, to put down their
Met& of holstein. But it is the rule of the Diet to
comnfesion no ighbours to put down each other. And
Germany has always a tame elephant ready to bela-
bour and crash a wild one. The accord of Warsaw
allowing the Frankfort Dirt to fairly represent all the
states which adhere to the Diet, Hesse and Holstein
being amongst them ; the Bavarians have been com-
missioned to pre fly Hesse, and no doubt the King of
HANOVER will be empowered to do the same by the
Holateinere, which he can do without crossing the
Prussian territories.
What will be the feelingl of all Germans whilst
this is going' on we leave all who know or whe have
lately seen them to imagine. Nor is it only the
feelings of the peasant or the citizen that are to be
considered, but those of the soldier. The Hessian
officers and soldiers, discarded and precribed, will
no doubt quit the electorate, and be hospitably
entertained and supported throughout Germany.
What feelings, what judgments, will be universally
excited by such a spectacle ? There will be no
uprising, we believe. Parties are too deeply
separated, the democrats too ulcera'ed, and for the
moment enjoy too heartily the disgrace of Prangs
and the constitutionalists, to think of helping either.
But the nature and mass of their sentiments are dan-
gerous and inflammatory to a degree beyond comire-
hension. Talk of the French mind being in a an-
gerous state of irritability and restlessness : what is
it to the choke damp that now invades and circulates
through every crevice and pa sage of the German
mind, waiting for the flame that is to produce the ex-
lilesion? Politicians may call this a recoonciliatio%
rradiate may call it peace, and the dealers in pub-
c funds may think it a most auspicious and pacifies
settlement. But there is not an experienced or think-
ing man that does not regard it as the most perilous
and uncertain state, iuto which the population and
the fortunes of Central Europe could be thrown.

THERE can be little doubt that the sentiments and 1
feelings expressed by Lord Jon@ RUSSELL, in his
protest spinet the papal assumption of ecclesiastical
power, will find a ready echo in the breasts of nume-
rous classes of the community. At al! periods of our 1
history there has been a deep-rooted repugnance to
foreign control, and an equally profound aversion to
high-priestly pretensions. Laws founded on national
opinion, and observances sanctioned by popular rev.-
recce, command, indeed, general respect. But edicts
promulgated beyond the sea, and obligations upon
conscience, for which the free garages of the realm
have not bees sought, have never been willingly
acknowledged in this country ; and no man who
knows the temper of our people can seriously believe
that they ever will.
The paroxysm of alarm into which the dignitaries
of the church affect to have fallen at the news of a re-
distribution of their inheritance by Rome, is perhaps
exaggerated. The dirsenting bodies have taken the
matter much more coolly; and the educated laity
appear to have already made up their minds neither to
be run away with by the Bell, nor to nth sway from it.
They see plainly that Dr. WISEMAN'S personal vanity
bar made him the instrument of a most egregious
blunder on the part of the ultra-mountain milliliters of
Pius IX. They perceive that the iaevitable copse-
queue will be detrimental to the interests of the Pro-
:rads and tearing rather the proximate misery
mVe of a revival of domestic bigotry, than
dee newts evil at catholic ocavertione on any widely
