THE NECESSITY OF GERMANY CO-
OPERATING WIT If THE ALLIES.

The Austrian Gazette of Vienna publishes the
following remarks :
" The interruption of the conferences of Vienna
has led to the resumption of deliberations at Frank-
fort. The epoch has now arrived at which the
German powers must assume on the Eastern ques-
tion the attitude which becomes them. If they
were to resolve to act in concert with Austria, and
to prove energetically that :they are ready to make
sacrifices for the common cause, it is very proba-
ble that such sacrifices would not be required from
them. Rarely has there arisen such an oc-
casion as the present for substituting good-will
for action. Russia would cede in presence of
united Germany. Germany, which has hitherto
been neglected, would then be able to command
esteem everywhere, and to cause her influence to
prevail ; but, if the German powers, or a great
part of them, were to separate from Austria, we
should find ourselves at the commencement of a
frightful confusion of which no one can foresee the
end. Those persons who think that Austria can
be forced by Germany to observe neutrality, to
abandon her western allies, and to cede to the
pretensions of Russia, deceive themselves greatly.
By a false policy on the part of the German States,
the treaty of the 2d December may assume a cha-
racter of intimacy which the German capitals do
not desire to see it possess. If Germany refuses
to support the policy which Austria has followed,
France must supply the reserves required by the
latter. How insensate are those who believe that
the expedition of the Crimea has exhausted the
forces of France, and that she is now incapable of
placing on foot a large army ! A word pronounced
in the Germanic Diet would suffice to cause a
French army to pass the Rhine in the course of the
present year ! Twelve months back, there were
many persons who deceived themselves with respect
to the forces of Russia, and now there are as many
who judge falsely of the forces of France and Eng-
land. The check sustained by the Russians be-
fore Silistria gave a bad idea of their military
power ; the resistance which the French and the
English met with before Sebastopol causes it to be
believed that France and England are exhausted.
If, however, the Emperor Napoleon, and Lord
Derby, the future chief of the British Cabinet, be
forced to take an extreme resolution—they must
take one if peace be not promptly re-established—
Europe will soon present the same spectacle that
she did during the first fifteen years of this century.
The false sentiment of security which appears to
prevail in Germany makes us tremble. The storm
is suspended over Germany and over Poland, and
it will certainly break over both, and especially
over the latter, if it be not averted. It may still
be ttirned aside ; as Germany can still, though at
the eleventh hour, restore peace to the world and
herself, she can dill remove from her frontiers the
perils of the present, and
part of those of the
future."

" The nomination of Prince Yermaloff to high
functions at St. Petersburg," says the Constitution-
nel, "has for some days been the subject of gene-
ral conversation, and it is naturally considered as
an indication of the increasing influence of the old
Russian party. The nomination has called to mind
the remark which caused the Prince to fall into
disgrace with the late Czar. The Emperor Nicholas,
to whom he constantly made opposition, said to him
one day—' What must I do for you, Yermaloff, to
make you more manageable !' ' Make a Gertaan of
me, Sire !' replied the Prince,—alluding to the
preference which the sovereign accorded to what
is called in Russia the German party, of which
Count de Nesselrode is one of the chiefs. After
this reply, the Prince- was ordered to retire to
Moscow, and ho has since lived there, setting him-
self up as chief of the national party."
ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM.—A public meeting, con-
vened by the Mayor, was held at the Shire-hall, Glou-
cester, on Friday evening, to take into consideration this
important subject. The meeting was numerously at-
tended—the Lord Mayor in the chair. The speakers
were Messrs. Potter, Kimberly, Baker, Helps, Phill-
potts, and W. P. Price, M.P. Resolutions urging the
necessity of reform, &c., were carried unanimously, and
petition to ,Parliament was read And adopted. •
