LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7.

Tire resignation of the Prussian Minister RAM-
vnTz, in consequence of his colleagues and his court
refusing to support him in summoning the country to
eras and resisting the conditions imposed on Ger-
many by the Cm NICHOLAS, is as honourable to
that statesmen as it is disgraceful and annihilating to
the Prussian monarchy. The terms dictated by the
Cue, however veiled, amount to no less than the
made* by Prussia of all the principles for which she
contended, and of rill the allies which her previous
hardihood encouraged. But for Premise supper', &kw.
wig and Holstein would have gone the length
they have done. But fee the countenance, the attitude,
the eoustitutiemal words of the Prussian sovereign, the
people at Howe -Camel would not have ventured resist-
ance in behalf of their rights, nor its officers resigned
as one man. The total desertion of them by Prussia,
as well as of the principles of representative govern-
ment is Germany, to which so many princes adhered,
will, it definitively consented to, be one of the most
treacherous, the most infamous and felonlonsacts ever
committed by • government.
From each disgrace General RADOWITZ has at
least washed his bands, by a prompt resignation, one
of the first genuinely constitutional acts of a public
man in Freesia. Had be, with equal truth and bald-
ness, observed constitutional principles in his accept-
ance of oßoe and his management of affairs, he would
have avoided the difficulties into which he fell. First
of all, his acceptance of office in the midst of a cabinet
not tree either to him or to the German question, was
a fault. Secondly, his entrusting the mission to
Warsaw to Count BILANDF.NBURO, a connexion of
royal houses, end the weakest of courtiers, was an un-
pardonable error. Comet BRANDENRVRO was in fact
tricked and cajoled at Warsaw, where under pretence
of cedingthe letter of the Prussian demands, the
whole spirit of the arrangement went against Prussian
sad German interest,.
Thus, it is said (though nothing is as yet certain)
that the temporary arrangement at Warsaw to which
Count Swept/CBI:AO consented wee, that fbr the
present Prussia should keep peace and regulate
matters is the states of the Union, Austria having
equal sway in the states that acknowledged the Diet
Now, the Princes of Holstein and Hems, the two
cosairies where constitutional disputes 'xis., bane
eletaialy sent envoys to the Diet, whilst the states
and populations are for the Union. By admitting
that the mere voice of the Prince decided, and that
constitutions were nothing, Count BRANDI/4M
gave op every question at issue. And bie
doing so gave at once to the Bandon
the pretext and apparently the right to invade Iles's,
as it gave Hanover at Austrian bidding, the right and
the pretext to invade holstein to-morrow. Against
such concessions as these, ea well u against the
assenting to a compromise on the German question,
which must finally render An.'ria mistress of Ger-
many, the spirit of ReDowtrz roes indignant, as did
that of the Crown Prince of Pavane; nay, it is said,
the spirit of the King himself.
The latter, however, has, we regret to say, laid the
sword of the great FREDERICK at the feet of the CZAR.
NAPOLEON ravished that weapon from Potsdam after
the battle of Jena ; bet he left millions of Prussian
hearts burning to mover it, and bat waiting the op-
portunity to do so. Whilst now Count Bean VENDOR°
carries the military honour and the political indepen-
dence of the King off to Warsaw, and consigns it to
the CZAR, without ono Prussian heaving a sigh for
the dishoooured dynasty, or making one vow for its
restoration.
After all, what is it to the dweller on the Oder, the
Elbe, or the Rhine, that the House of Hohenzollern
should descend from its kingly, or what is synonymous,
its heroic rank, for they were kings of Prussia solely
by their heroism ? The race that fills the wide plains
which extend south of the Baltic may cease to be
Premien to-morrow, for the tame, in fact, exists
more in the dynasty than in the nation. If
denied honourable and independeet existence u
Prussians, they can, at least, survive as Germans,
and as such are es indestructible as the sands which
are fertilised by their industry, and which have been
ennobled by their blood. The CnR will not have
them Germans. He insists on a new empire, more
than half made up of OVOID and Serbs, and Gsllicians
and Illyrian", the German and the free elements over-
grown and overwhelmed by the Selavonian and the
servile. And to consent to this, to force down the
neck of that dynasty, which represented the old
Teutonic franchise and stock, need we my that
the house of Hoheuzollern would brand itself
with a stigma that not even centuries of heroism
could efface ? As to the Teutonic race, they
would not want avengers • they would soon
find leader,. For years they have sought such
leaders with all tenet and humility in the princes
that providence and fortune bad set over them. Most
of these have failed, have been worse than wanting,
for they have been traitors to the German cause.
Are the Germans to be blamed, if the first wee cry of
the next uprising be the terrific one of War to
princes?
Let us, however, not decide or vaticinate too rashly.
We speak as yet upon presumption. strong indeed,
deep fraught with fear and with despair. For
it is sot a light or grateful thing, to aban-
don all hope of • country's Minya from its
natural chiefs and protectors. Germany might have
been saved by its princes and its statesmen. We
have always mid so, whilst the democrats with
passion denied that it could be so. But if events come
to justify their prognostications, we too must fain pat
faith in democrsey. We should prefer it is its
wildest frenzy to the establishment of a universal
Cossack empire over Europe.

Tnasz millions of stool MO, armed and provided
with guns and materials of war, are paid, clothed, and
supported by the other millions of Europe, under the
name of soldiers, and the prefaces of lighting, and
yet these armed millions being merely employed is
sparring and scolding, erolatiosisiag and =siren-
vnng spinet one another—this begins to pass the
patience of civilians. When the severe anddegrad-
leg conditions imposed on Prussia by the Emperor
NICITOLAS were first brought to Berlin, a Prussian
minister is reported to have proposed in the cabinet
to raise 600,000 MS additional—in order to niga
tiate with.

This is the political secret of the time keep up i
immense armies, for the purpose of negotiation. But •
negotiation is a =mos • me that has its axioms, its
principles, its laws: e=te and cabinets negotiate by
rule, pretty much se they go through a sum in arith-
metie ; and a sagacious eye can pretty generally tell I
the result, without going through the
.flgures. Them
is but one element that disturbs the meavieble rules
of this political arithmetic; and that is the
element. This, wherever it mama its power, rstea
rbsr
the usual cskulations, introduces such quantities as
will, and right, and passion, and is apt to give varia-
ble sad unforeseen results.
