LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 6.

Tut most striking feature of the present time is
the simultaneous and almost universal convulsion
by which the North and South of great Empires
break asunder, awl refuse to continue under the
same government, or pursue the same political
path. We find this as wonderfully exemplified in
the old world as in the new—in China as in
Amenea--and in Central Europe, where the Latin
race inhabiting the Italian Peninsula insists with
more vigour than it has shown for many centuries
that the Alps shall be a political as well as a
geographical boundary, and that Germans or
Gauls must cease to dictate in the sunny and
tempting climes adjoining them.
It may be also remarked in these several cases
of sepsiation, that although collision and blood-
shed have been in some cases unavoidable, yet
there is a 'general tendency to accomplish the
severance without making it the cause of a pro-
longed or internecine struggle. The followers of
Tsseisn have conquered China south of the Yel-
low River, and have made one memorable attempt
to extend their triumph northward. But they
have failed against the sturdy Tartars in the pro-
vinces adjoining the native regions of those pas-
toral hordes ; whilst the Tartars themselves, how-
ever victorious, refuse to follow up such advan-
tages by marching south. Each side remain, en-
trenched in his portion of the empire, which seems
irrevocably divided, however our diplomatists may
bare thought fit or found it necessary to ignore
the fact.

There aro not a few who augur a similar result
in America, where a majority on either cos aids
or the other must leave a minority too proud, too
powerful, and too free to submit to inevitable
domination. The experience of the last ten years
has shown that they could not sit in the same
assembly without imposing laws one upon the other,
most inimical to their material interests and ab-
horrent to their moral convictions. When wedded
life reaches this phase, a divorce court is the only
remedy.

In Europe it must be a subject of supreme sa-
tisfaction to every lover of peace and nationality
to behold Italians and Germans gradually settling
into a just appreciation of each other, and pre-
paring to separate without renewed war. The
declaration of the Prussian Chamber, that Italy, in
freeing ttielf from the Austrian yoke, neither
touches the interests of Germany nor offends its
pride, is one of those noble and philanthropic de-
tlarations from which men must blush to dissent.
And tits effect of this declaration uponSuabian and
Bavarian will be even more important than any
consequences that might be expected in Prussia
Bata

It would be curious to inquire into the laws
which regulate tho repugnance of races or of
countries subject or infeodated to stronger ones.
The sentiment is most intense, and the suffering
most intolerable, where the civilisation of the con-
quered country is superior to that of the conquering,
and where subjection implies retrogradation of
every kind. Such was the nature of the yoke
imposed by _Austrians upon Italian+. And the senti-
ment is scarcely less strong in those races which
enduring conquest and oppression have, like the
Poles, been'ground down to the level ofithe barba-
rian' of their conquerors, c r like the eristian
races subject to the Turks, forced even below it.

Another cause of hatred is the attempt of one
race or section of a country to impose upon another
• kind of civilisation of which the superiority is
denied and resisted by the recipient. The inhabi-
tants of the Southern States of America abhor the
industrial and intellectual activity of their Northern
brethren. Their views of religion, of man, of his
duties, his tendencies, and aspirations, are as dif-
ferent in the two regions as if centuries and oceans
rolled between them. The Northern prides him-
self in the independence and affluence won by his
industry and acuteness. The Southern boasts
himself as lonl•of a rich and productive soil, as
well as of the black labour attached to it. He
enjoys the privilege as one of a superior race, and
holdshis head high in the pride as well as the igno-
rance of feudalism, which scorned the mechanic as
the equal of the slave. To compel such • race to
accept the civilization, or be subject to the moral
and intellectual code of the North, is to wed the
fourteenth century to the nineteenth.
There is something also in the nature or cha-
racter of a race, which, whilst impelling to con-
quest and domination, renders its rule intolerable.
We are obliged to own that the Teutonic race
make the most insufferable masters. The English
themselves, notwithstanding their high and good
qualities, are not beloved ; whilst the Germans,
so honest and good-natured in their own home,
make themselves the bugbears of every population
foreign to them. The Germans undoubtedly have
carried many valuable portions of their peculiar
civilization into Slavic countries. They have
been the beat politicians, the beat engineers, the
best professors, the most intelligent manufacturers
and traders in the countries eastward of them.
Bat not even the boons they brought could recon-
cile the Slavonic or Magyar races to the hands,
and the harsh characters which conferred them.
This is the effective bar to the extension of
Austrian dominion south or south-eastward of
their centre. Serbs and Roumans reject and re-

pudiate their alliance or their rule with an invete-
rate hatred of which we have no conception.
What is still more remarkable, and still more in
accordance with, and in exemplification of, the
remark commencing this article is, the complete
disappearuice of that love and respect for Russia,
and for that dependence upon her, once observable
throughout the Danubian races. The faithlessness
and tyranny of the Russians during their occupa-
tion, their defeats even by Turks, and their mani-
fest inability to cope with the West in war—these,
with the increased intelligence of tho state of
Europe, have encouraged the races of these
regions to think for themselves, and to reject
Russia as the most dangerous of aids. The North
in this is repudiated by the South as much on the
Carpathians as upon the Alps. And Russia will
as vainly attempt to dominate the Euxine and rule
Constantinople from St. Petersburg as Austria to
lord it in the valleys of the Po and of the Arno
from Vienna.

To render the South independent of the North
lama in truth been the aim and the principle for
which we have ixen unconsciously struggling from
time immemorial. To keep Spain independent of
France, Italy free from itatranamontane neighbours,
and leave the Gneoo-Christiapopuhition at liberty

to settle their own quarrels withihe Turks, without
undergoing a Northern yoke—such has been Eng-
lish policy. A combination of events and opinions
have now come to concentrate towards this same
principle, and promise to establish it for ever, we
trot, beyond the necessities of more than diplo-
matic intervention.

the county of Southampton, Constable of her Maleety's
Dude of Dmrer, and Warden and Keeper of lwr Majesty's
nape Porta. County of Smberland : The Right Hon. Sir
David Dundee, of Oehtertyre. in the county of Perth, Is the
TOM at George Granville William Ler...ou Gower, corn-
wady called IllarriLSOßffacd, now Earl of Sutherland,
in the Pestese et

of Prince M. Worontsow that enclosed in this
letter was a slip of paper containing the following
words :

Prince Worentsow has a ready means to obtain the pub•
lication of his pedigree in the form he desires in a Russian
heraldic work. He has only to make Prince Peter Dolgo-
roukow a present of 50,000 silver roubles, and everything
shall be does as he wishes ; but there is no time to lose.

Prince P. Dolgoroukow affirms that on being in-
formed by the marshal that such a slip of paper
was found in the letter, and asked to come to look
at it, he considered the proposal as an insult, and
insisted that the original should be regularly pro-
duced, and a judicial inquiry into the authorship
ordered. That upon the refusal of the marshal to
consent to this, he, the Prince P. Dolgoroukow,
well knowing that it would have been useless to
sue in the Russian courtsof law against a powerful
adversary, applied to the Minister of Police, Prince
Basil Dolgoroukow, but was told by him that any
inquiry was out of the question in a case where a
marshal and a chevalier of the Order of St. Andrew
was concerned, and that he could not even transmit
Prince P. Dolgoroukow's letter to the Emperor.
That he was about to publish a statement of the
whole case when, three days after his interview
with the Minister of Police, and while dining with
the Countess de Meyendorff, he received the news
by telegraph from Odessa that Marshal Prince Wo-
rontsow was dead. That the statement of the Cour-
tier du himanche that Prince Worontsow had
lithographed the note attributed to him is untrue.
That the note in question is a forgery.
Such is a summary of the case according to the
respective statements of the parties ; and under
these circumstances the family of Prince Woront-
sow bring their action against both Prince P. Dol-
goroukow and the Courrier du. Dimauche. They
charge that the note asking for a bribe from the
prince is no forgery, but is in the handwriting of
Prince P. Dologoroukow, as will appear from •
comparison of the note with the letter in which it
was enclosed. They ask for damages at the dis-
cretion of the court both against the prince and',
the Courritr du .Dimaneke, and that the judgment
may be inserted in six journals of Paris, two of
London, and two of St. Petersburg. On the
other hand, Prince P. Dolgoroukow brings s 9 cross
action praying for damages.
Prince Simon Worontaow, the son of the late
marshal, has arrived in Paris to be present at the
trial,

M. Mathieu is counsel for the Woronteow family,
DL Marie for Prince Dolgoroukow, and M. Gus-
tave Chaudey for the Courrier du Dipnanche.
