LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12.

Tat British nation and the British government
have serious reason f,r complaint in the cavalier
manner in which both have been treated by the now
hyper-insolent courts of St. Petersburg and Vienna.
Hero have the most solemn congresses been held, the
most grave resolutions c3MO to, of alliance, of offen-
sive and military movements, of the putting down of
this system of government and the setting up of that,
without England having been once consulted in the
affair. There was a congress of kings and ministers,
not exclusively German, at Breves, early in
October, in which all the movements that we now see
were planned and preordained. Yet not one word of
these intentims, or reso:utions, wu communicated to
the British government until, we believe, the other
day.
Such a slight was the more outrageous, since the
chiet of these resolutions regarded the settlement of
the affairs of Schleswig-Holstein, in which England
bad taken a most active part, both in mediating and in
coercing, at least as far as moral coercion goes. It
could nut even be said that England showed a hostile
spirit to them absolutist powers. For Lord PAL-
MERSTON signed the London protocol, when even
Austria hesitated to put its signature to so anti-
German a document. Yet this invent adherence to
Russian policy on the part of England brought with
it no return in the shape of either politeness or con-
sideration. And Count Nusautons at Bregeoz, and
the Emperor NICROLMI at Warsaw, proceeded to
ordain in their own way how not merely the Hessians,
but the Holsteiners, were to be coerced, without
deigning to consult England in the matter. We
must say, that the British government, if not the
British nation, deserved more respect than this at the
hands of Russia.

We will not deny, however, that the British
sent has some reason for complaint against rre:eria,ll.
for being so impolitic as to keep open the Schleswig
sore, which has united so many powers molest her,
and at last given a handle for the united absolutists
of Russia and of Austria to overw helm her. The
only excess of Prussia lies in her real inability to
settle the question unless Denmark could be per-
suaded to grant concessioce. It was the vital interest
rf Prussia during the last months to have settled
And we firmly believe that if she did not do so, it was
from sheer inability to persuade the Holsteiners to
submit, and in the impossibility for her to force them.
Now, however, pressed by circumstances and by •
million of armed foes, which necessitates is her the
junction of prudence with valour, the Premien go-
vernment, that is, Ranowrrit himself, advised—nay,
insisted on ihe Stadtholderate withdrawing its troops
from Schleswig. Lord Pstieesteroe ins sted on this
the test. This, his lordship said, would be the fair
fulfilment by Prussia of the fourth article of the
treaty with Deems*. Accordingly, in order to place
itself in accord with England, as the mediating
power, Prussia has insisted on the withdrawal of
the troops of the Duchies behind the Eyder. And the
Stadtholderate has, we understand, contented to it.
But how is Holstein to be subdued or pacified ? At
Bergen the absolutist alliance determined that this
should be done by force ohat the Frankfort Diet
should at first attempt it ; and that, if it failed,
Russia would take the matter in hand. It
was first, we believe, begged of Hanover to
undertake the task, and send its army of 20,000 men
into Holstein. But the King of HANOVER was
aware that his army would not execute such • mis-
sion, and that soldiers and population would rise
against him, wore be to attempt it. The Austrians
and Bavarians therefore undertook it; and the
armies of these powers have not only
marched through Runes to the occupation of
Hesse, but have actually occupied Coburg,
with the intention of marching through Prussia
into Holstein. The Austrians and Bavarians, how-
ever' very well know that Prussia will not, and can-
not allow them to pas. They will present them-
selves at the frontier, however, be refused passage,
and then they will appeal to Russia to grant them
that material aid in the reduction of Holstein which
was agreed upon at firegens amongst the abso-
lutists themselves, and formally threatened at
Warsaw. Now Russia's mode of granting this
aid in the reduction of Holstein is neither more
nor lees than marching an army of 160,000 men
through Prussia, and even through Berlin • whilst
• Austro-Bsvarian army advances from the ion*.
Will Prussia, can Prussia, resist this double in-
vasion ? The arguments of those who dissuaded the
calling out the lantheehr, were, that if the' los&
terhr be called forth, the Prussians, as a military
nation, will never suffer the march of the Rimless
through their territories ; and that the calling eat ef
the timbre/sr would thus be tantamount to war. The
landtrehr has been called out, amidst the acclamation.
of all classes of the people. The march of the first
carps from Berlin was accompanied by a burst of
popular exultation, of which the Prince of PRUSSIA re-
ceived his share. The excitement is general. Still
if the Prussians are exuberant in military spirit
and indignant at the outrageous insolence of their
foes, thee. foes are confidentiin their numbers. The
Austrians are brave, having at their back the same
Russians which enabled them to subdue Hungary.
A conflict therefore may ensue—a conflict of fearful
odds, and Prussia would be invaded by a million
of fore, which it would require the spirit of the great
FREDERICK to meet, and hie military talent to baffle.
NAPOLEON amid to say, that if he were England he
would not allow a canon-shot to be fired in Europe
without his permission. We believe that E-gland,
without being NAPOLEON, has still the power to for-
bid cannon shots. We believe that it does lie in
Bogland's power to forbid the Emperor of RUSSIA to
march his hordes across Prussia under the pretext of
reducing the Holeteiners, but really for the purpose
of crushing all constitutional liberalism or anti-EQ.-
111=4M in Germany. We believe that our English
minister could settle the question of Holstein
without this huge and menacing march and c inflict of
armies,—first by persuading the King of DENMARK
ID.offer fair conditions to the Holsteiners, and then re-
presenting to them, not as a foe but as a friend, the
jeopardy in which they are placing the entire German
race, with whom, if not victorious, they inevitably
fall into unmitigated thraldom.
If the Ling of Damian' will make no easseesion,
and grant no rights or tioaditioss, this let Ids try to
conquer Holstein with his Siren. If M snout, let
him rent them tame. Theaessequeses of any other
line of conduct with regard to Holstein must be either
tits annihilation of PPIISME, or the awakening of a re-
volutionary war. Neither of these alternatives ought
ever to have loomed in the distance, or been amongst
the pomibilitiee of the time, had Prance and Eng-
lead dose their duty. Why they have not done so,
there ie scarcely time to impure. Bat if they do not
now exert themselves, Nsroisoe's prophecy will be
fulfilled to the letter, and Strops wrllbe either repub-
lican or Cossack.

IT is curious and instructive to observe how va- I
timely and characteristically the different authorities '
in church and state, now knowing the royal feeliege
is the matter, take the aggreasion of Flo Norio and
d Cardinal WISMAR, who is at case the insulter
Mad the tool of that aggression ea his soveresgm's

The LORD CHANCELD3R, allied to the Her Cl
Brunswick, whose powers are attacked, is almost as
vehement in support of protestautism to the citizens
of London, as seat was his great predecessor, Lord
SrizeTzanmar ; and the Lord Chief Justice a native
of stern presbyterian Se3tland, where jokes are un-
known, and prelacy almost as great a crime as popery,
actually rises into facetimumeas at the notion of anew
popish plot, to come judicially before him.
The Bishop of LONDON seeks to redeem an episco-
pal reputation he so stopidly threw away by now
directing the whirlwind and riding on the storm ;
and the Bishop of Extras, who will tolerate no
Popery but his own, with one breath groans over the
repeal of penal laws against the catholic* that he him-
self at last joined in abrogating, and then goes off in
the next into a paroxysm of prayerful benedictions
on all those who agree with him, damning by infer-
ence all who differ from him. The Bishop of BATH
and WELLS, who, while on low episcopal diet at Ox-
ford, fostered and cockeyed, or, as Trinenio did Con-
don," stroked and made much" of Possyiem, is now
that he is on fall episcopal pay, in a fright quite
emaical at the arrival (and it has come by the Dover
I sm. train) of a Castor Rouge ; and the high-
&soh Bishop of Smarm and GLOUCESTER
ogle= his horror of Popery by refusing to let
preach in his diocese the highest of church-
ma, even though he has sworn to die in the berries
Cl the establishment which pays him 2,0001. a year.
The Bishop of ROCHESTER is firm and well bred in
illellasee of our protestant liberties, as becomes an
aristocrat who confers honour on the church by taking
cue of its mitres and 6,0001. a year, and the Bishop
of Biros is on this topic as calm, moderate, ratiocina-
tive, and sensible as he is on all subjects.
Bat more indignant than premiers, more vehement
than lord chancellors, more facetious than chief
justices, more determined than even royalty itself, is
Sir PETER LAURIE, Knight and Alderman, the dia.
in 1844, of the mischief Father NEwszor was
then brewing, the object of no fewer than 21 news-
paper articles in which he now glories, the scourger
of recreant bishops, the promoter of protestant furor
in parish vestries' the leader of orthodoxy in alder-
manic courts ; ready, willing, eager to treat Cardinal
WieFMAN as he did the West Middlesex Insurance
swindler, or DANDO, the oyster diddler—" pat him
down." This would be the cunning point of Sir
PETER's fame.

~...
Wcrthy, too, of notion is the different manner in
which different chases treat the subject. Everywhere
the clergy seek to put themselves at the head of the
movement ; and, supported by one or two of their
leading parishioners, they are usually successful ; but
only by yielding a little here, and drawing in a bit
there; by submitting with a good grace to reflections
on their past conduct by the more plain spoken of
their flocks; by promising by their silence better
behaviour for the future; by listening nnoomplaist-
ingly to the reproaches on their bishops; and by occa-
sionally being compelled to join in their censure.
Mark, too, how everywhere the church laity in
their speeches advance, enforce, and insist on that
point which the clergy take little notice of, keep back,
depreciate, or explain away—viz., the Royal supre-
macy. And note, moreover, how generally a dis-
senter rising to join in expressions of loyalty, and
unite in a dislike of popery, significantly adds, how
infinitely better voluntaryism is calculated to resist
such aggressions, than a church so encumbered with
shame as to be itself tottering.
Amidst all this agitation, one an'hority is silent.
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY. the Primate of Eng-
land, has not yet spoken ; he has not rushed to the
battle field, like Dr. BLONFIELD, or taken to crying,
like Dr. BAGOT.Yet no one looksanxiously at Lambeth
Palace; none turn doubtingly to Addington. Dr. SUM-
NER needs no noseeming manifestations, no affrighted
letter to convince people that he is alive to the crisis.
The venerable archbishop's silence began confidence,
because his career has been as consistent as his nature

is mild, and his temperament calm and serene. And
to him the thoughts of men are turning, because in
his simplcrectitude they will find wisdom unalloyed
by pacion and good advice untempered by profes-
sional craft, priestly ambition, or ,corldly policy
What the vestry of St. Andrew's, II ,!born, did—per
over their diocesan and go direct to the primate with
their address—is a coarse that ought to be generally
adopted.
Curious, various, notable, and, at times, amusing
and foolish u some of these different and clashing
modes of treating the question are, there is,
it most be admitted, an earnestness. a sin-
cerity, a resoluteness about the movement that un-
mistakably stamps protestantism on the national cha-
racter; that shows how mach more powerful and per-
manent are a nation's old traditions and time-honoured
olicy
than any modern innovations; that proves how
little real progress the new opinions of semi-popery have
made ; which shows that the popular mind of Eng-
land is not formed at Oxford or moulded at Cambridge,
where more or lees, though in different degree's, those
opinions ars prevalent; which ought to remove from
the higher and more educated classes, all more or lets
infected, the delusion under which they have laboured
that England might by degrees be habituated to, and
ultimately seduced into, the adoption of ecclesiastical
supernaturalism ; and which, above CI, demonstrates
how high is the value the real, the actual, people of
England set on honour, honesty, integrity, and con-
sistency ; how little they care for subtleties, for nice
distinctions and fine-drawn differences.
In all these manifestations the laity have seised on
the substance, and left the shadow for the clergy ;
they have laid hold of the kernel and thrown away
the husk. In every instance they have struck boldly
and directly at Papal aggression and Tractarian
treachery ; but in not one have they advanced
for the Church of England those preternatural pre-
tensions and that mystical character which their
bishops and their clergy have for the last ten years
been dinning (all in vain it now turns out) into their
ears. They see in that church an ecclesiastical organ-
isation of their forefathers' manufacture ; they recog-
nise in it present usefulness. Bat they repudiate its
claims to be more than human, or to be aught than
the creation of legislation, such as is annually to be
witnessed in Westminster. Nothing more.
_ . .

In this instinctive good sense of the middle clues
(whom it now suits Dr. BLOILFLILD to praise and to
atter) there is safety and hope. The part they have
taken, the sentiments they are uttering, will not be
lost on persons so sensitive to public opinion as the
bishops. It was the silence of this class on Pussyism,
their apparent indifference to its program, their pro-
bable lapis into its nets, that induced the episcopal
bench to philander with P aseyism. But the real
feelings of the country have become appareat—the
bishops will quickly return to an evangelical disposi-
tion, inch Is will delight even Exeter Hall. But
not so the younger clergy ; they have been
beguiled by episcopal example into a deep and
living belief in ecclesiutical supernaturalism; it
has grown with their growth, and strength-
ened with their strength, until it has beams
inseparable from them ; being yam-, they are too
enthusiastic, ardent, and sincere. Wall is to become
of them, Dr. BLOWITISLDP They have been led into
• qusgmire by their spiritual superiors. Are they to
ha left there, Dr. BAGoTP The position of these men
in the church is most pitiable. They have been
taught to regard with something approaching to
horror the school of HOADLIT, of Wasson:rots, and
of PALSY; that school is the natural rebound from
supernaturalism, and to it we are returning. Who is
to Ming the young Pomeyite clergy, with what STD.

But Cardinal Wiseman, bat and all, is amongst

will be shortly ready, like &tames rod, to swallow

The danger is upon as. Row shall we escape it P
Now the truth is that so far we are more frightened
than hurt. If by disseminating Papal Balla in this
