Tug Erfurt parliament, or assemblage of represen-
tatives from all those parts of Germany which adhere
to that whom. of German unity, federation, and
freedom, which sprang from out the debates and
votes of the great parliament of Frankfort, and
which is indeed onlysuoh a modification of the Frank-
fort unatitution for all Germany, u r. conciles it with
the rights of princes and the possibilities of the times
—that assembly hold' ita first sitting whilst we

The principle on which it is proposed is voluntary
adhesion of the states and princes of Germany!
None of them are forced into it, but at the same time
no kingdom or province of non-German race is al-
lowed into it. It is purely German. It is not merely
a federation of • but of peoples, end it guaran-
tees popular constitutional rights. We must con-
fess ourselves to be in the highest degree anxious for
thirstiness of this great project, not merely because
there is a protestant and ealightened powerat the head
of it, end all that is bigoted in Europe is
opposed
to it, but because it alone afford' the chance o eat
bilging in central Europe a strong and permanent
barrier against the mad ambition or extreme
theories of Fran*, on one side, and of Russia on
the other.

lly, religiously, morally, Europe has no
more grand or mere pressing want than to see a
Germanyy rise up, free, powerful, enlightened, and
independent. England is more interested in this than
any part of Europe; England, connected with Ger-
many by rase, religion, character, and material
interests. It is needless to explain how Germany,
split up as it was under the old system of a proposed
federation or Frankfort Diet, bad all its powers neu-
tralised. France could at any time overrun the
smaller states, meeting with no resistance
from the ghost of an empire. Whilst Promia
and Austria, divided and actuated by purely
dynastic interests, were the victims or the associates,
as it might be, of French caprice or Russian intrigue.
Late events have shown that Austria, as a power, is
net even self-sapperting, that its German element is
unable to keep in suldestisa or eltediseoe its non-Ger-
man elements, and that the whets Austrian empire
is a Aeon spading mere Asa its revenue in an army
to key down iisselirs, cad yet not able to do this
withent bartering its isdepsaisose for Russian aid.
With Austekb thus reined to be the mere foot-
stool et Reale. it is serisedy proposed by Lord
Aniensines school of foreign politicians to place
Germany once more at her disposal and guidance by
the reconstitution of the old Dist and federation, or
by some scheme analogous to it; the effect of which
would be to make Russia as supreme mistral' at
Frankfort as she is already at Warsaw.
We most own that we cannot understand English
writers so last to seaes and shame as to abet such a
graiul. Ramis is at this moment treating
Germany jut as she treated Poland—
part in her dimension", inciting ore party against
the other, upholding that which most
setting up skeletons of government,
tha▪ t
cannot subeiat without her aid, and paving the
way for eventual partition. We can conceive a states-
man or journal protesting against war with Russia,
Or hatred to Russia, and maintaining that the Rus-
sian government within its own empire was, although
neoessarily despotic, still beneficent. Bat what we
cannot understand is, an Englishman abetting
Ronan inflame, and a Roan party in Germany,
