LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1852.

" Truth will soon make its way," said Prince
SCHWARTZENDURG, when addressing himself recently
to the Congress assembled at Vienna. Trite as the
assertion was in itself, it possessed a significance as
coming from the lips of the President of the Austrian
Cabinet. Magna est veritas, et prevalebit, is a piece
of very old and very hackneyed Latinity. It has,
however, been now revived and rejuvenated by the
Chief of the Austrian Government : and " Truth will
soon make its way" was the phrase in which this was
effected by Prince SCHWARTZENBURG. Doubtless.
The period is rapidly approaching when it must ulti-
mately triumph over Falsehood. Nevertheless,
coinciding though we apparently do with the
leading statesman of the Red EMPEROR in
the opinion he has thus mendaciously announced,
it cannot for an instant remain a matter of doubt,
whether or not our sentiments are dissimilar or iden
tical. Prince SCEIWARTZENBURG regards Truth as
associated with a power subsisting solely upon a sys-
tem of lying and hypocrisy. According to our
notion of things, it is, of course, scarcely neces-
sary to observe, that Truth is, on the contrary, allied
with the very cause which of all causes in the wide
world is most antagonistic to the maintenance of the
Austrian Government. It was only a few days since that
we had occasion to notify in these columns the last of
all the flagrant acts by which the despotism of the
KAISER has been re-established, and, to the thinking
of its supporters, stabilitated. Having sworn most
solemnly, according to the prescribed oath, an ever-
lasting loyalty to the reforms grafted upon the Im-
perial Constitution, the Red EMPEROR audaciously
revoked in a single decree the concessions made, after
a prolonged struggle, to the heart's beat wishes of the
population. Changes of course are at all times the
right of the multitude, whensoever that multitude
can, as in the instance of France, pronounce its
ideas through the medium of the ballot and of
universal suffrage. Without a decision declared thus
solemnly by the voice of the people themselves, no
alterations of a nature so remarkable and comprehen-
sive are manifestly justifiable; and the course pur-
sued, therefore, by the KAISER and his Ministry in
their revocation of the Constitution without either a
prior or a subsequent appeal to the community is
such as might alone have been expected from a mem-
ber of the Neapolitan dynasty. Lawless and daring as
the Emperors of AUSTRIA had repeatedly shown
themselves to be in their conduct towards their unfor-
tunate subjects, it might scarcely have been antici-
pated by them that their Government could have
ventured upon a line of policy so peculiarly and
even matchlessly atrocious. After the terrible ex-
periences of the last three or four years; after seeing
Lombardy in arms and Hungary wrested from their
grasp, only being restored to their authority by
the ever-memorable and ever-execrable interposi-
tion of the armies of the Russian AUTOCRAT ; after
seeing their capital bombarded, and their palaces in
the hands of the outraged and infuriated revolutionists,
it could scarcely have been deemed possible that
FRANCIS JOSEPH could have so far tempted anew the
vengeance of his adversaries by this most monstrous
of all his atrocities, the total and abrupt revocation
of the Constitution. The fate of his predecessor
one might have thought sufficient of itself to deter
him from an experiment so singularly hazardous.
Yet, in defiance of all considerations, the
die has been cast, and the KAISER stands
face to face with a population to whom his very name
is a word of abhorrence. The last shield has been
thrown aside, and so soon as the next contest com-
mences—a contest which is even now approaching, and
which is altogether inevitable—the struggle must
prove to be one of life or death, without any possibi-
lity of a compromise. More significantly even than
did Al. DE LAMARTINE, when he uttered that well-
remembered declaration from the tribune, may we cry
out in regard to this matter, in the phrase of the
of the old Roman—Alea jacta est! Yes ; and
" Truth will soon make its way" in the words of
Prince SCHWARTZENBURO. But a truth that will
turn out to be most destructive to his Imperial
Master's Government.

Although we have applied the phrase in a general
sense, as one affecting the whole of the tyrannical
policy of the Red EMPEROR, it was employed
by the President of the Viennese Cabinet in
reference to the newly projected extension of
the Zollverein. The Congress addressed upon
the occasion referred to was, in fact, the Congress as-
sembled in the Austrian capital with a view to the
consolidationG of some commercial alliance throughout
ermany. Having witnessed the results of the treaty
a solicitude has risen formally entered into on the 7th of last September
between the Governments of Prussia and Hanover,
Cabinet and in thseernesitn
theof
the bosom
Cabinetsof
Confe-
deration to • Austrianof the
from
in similar consequences
flowing fro some more widely extended
and deliberately
mentioned Zollverein. Therefore
and therefore
has been collected
together in Vienna, therefore the representatives
of the various states of Germany assembled within
the walls of that Congressh v
Prince SCIIIVARTZENBURG as
thee head been addressed by
Government. Alluding to the conditionof the Austrian
and position
of the empire of FRANCIS JOSEPH, it was said rather
haughtily by his Imperial MAJESTT 'S
... 10
rime Mi-
nister, "A 3 for Austria, she is enough for her own
wants. Her shores and harbours secure to her a pro-
portionate share of the commerce of
the world ; her
connexion with Italy and the Orient enable her to
command the foreign markets ; a variety of navigable
of railroads, the
rivers, canals, and inexhaustible
wealth of nature, and a trade which is just in the act
of rapidly rising to an enormous height, will for many
years to come suffice to employ and reward our home
commerce and industry." Assertions, for the verifica-
tion of which we would refer the Minister to Mr.
URQUHART ! " But," continued Prince SCRWART-
ZENBURG very condescendingly to the members of the
CongresF, "for the purpose of realising the gigantic
idea of a middle European Customs' union, for the
purpose of tightening the bonds of union between the
EMPEROR'S
States, and the Princes and States
which are bound to him
by means of the Ger-
manic Confederation—for such a purpose you may
be sure to find Austria ready and willing
to make any proportionate (ents prechend) sacrifice
which she may be called upon to •,
make. Very con-
descending, certainly ! Trust the Austrian Govern-
ment for this kind of disinterested
magnanimity !

LONDON,

Why the notion is preposterous. Europe is not so
gullible as to swallow assurances of that kind, what-
ever Germany may be, more especially when those
assurances came from such a very obsequious slave
of the Red EMPEROR as the puissant and veracious
I Prince SCHWARTZENBURG.

It is generally found that neutrals, or third parties,
who by any means become involved in a contest,
suffer far more than the belligerents themselves.
When Flanders was " the cock-pit of Europe," its
unfortunate inhabitants endured greater distress and
misery than any of the opposing armies. Those who
had no interest in the result of the struggle, and who
consequently abstained from taking any part, or
rendering assistance to either side, wire regarded as
the common enemy, and were consequently plun-
dered and maltreated with the utmost impartiality by
the victor for the time being. It mattered nothing
who prevailed, their condition was in no degree ame-
liorated, and any change was for the worse, throwing
them, to use a vulgar but expressive comparison,
from the frying-pan into the fire." Well might
they exclaim with MERCUTIO—" A plague o' both
your houses ;" for whatever might be the issue they
would have cause for lamentation, with everything to
lose, and no possibility of gain.

The position of the labourers thrown out of em-
ployment by the recent " turn-out" of the masters
is something analogous. They can gain nothing by
the success of the employers, while, on the contrary,
they may lose considerably if the men should triumph.
The masters positively assert, that one of the chief
and most obnoxious propositions of the Amalgamated
Society is directed against the employment
of unskilled labour ; or, as it is popu-
larly termed, in the trade—" illegal hands." The
labourers, or "illegal hands," have, therefore, no sym-
pathies with the society, which would (if the state-
ment be well founded) prevent any one of the
members, however competent, from improving his
position and achieving the position of a member who
had duly served his apprenticeship. But they are the
chief sufferers, who must undergo the most bitter
privations through the conduct of the masters. The
case of the non•society men is sufficiently hard.
Because others are not prepared to kneel down and
kiss the dust from before the feet of the
employers, they are discharged without even the pre-
text of a complaint. "We must get rid of every
member of the Amalgamated Society, until the de-
mands or recommendations' that have been put for-
ward are unconditionally withdrawn," is the cry of
the Central Association. We, its members, in pur-
suance of our compact, close our workshops, not only
against "society men," but against the still larger
number who are "untainted with unionism," and
who have not in any way offended us.
The mere labourers, who have ever discharged their
humble but important duties zealously and efficiently,
must also go. The employers cannot let a matter of
such trivial consequence as the welfare and comfort
of these innocent parties—albeit consisting of three-
fourths of those now reduced to unprofitable idleness
—to interfere with their stern resolution to subdue
the Amalgamated Society. Nor, considering the
heavy losses which their own conduct must neces-
sarily occasion, can they afford to offer any assistance
to the real victims.

The Amalgamated Society have the munitions of
war. They can vote considerable sums of money
from their accumulated capital to open opposing
workshops ; and they are receiving considerable
sums every week, not only from such of their own
members as are still occupied, but also from those
belonging to analogous societies. But these con-
tributions, as well as the money already set aside,
are looked on as belonging to a " sacred fund," which
cannot be touched except for " union " purposes
and the support of " society men," who are thus
enabled to await the result with the utmost philoso-
phy, receiving quite sufficient to procure the necessa-
ries, if not the comforts, of existence.

The " skilled" workmen who, although not belong-
ing to the society, are yet eligible as members, receive
" the lion's share" of the other funds collected.
They had received something approaching to one-half
of what their more favoured brethren had obtained,
while the unfortunate labourers, who could not, under
any circumstances, be benefited, could not procure
even one-fifth of that amount. Two shillings, or even
one shilling and sixpence per week, was all that
they could receive for their support. Their
former position was not so brilliant that
they could be prepared for the emergency. Under
the most favourable circumstances they could only
earn 16s. or 17s. per week, and could not therefore be
expected to lay by any considerable provision for a
rainy day. Their condition (utterly unmerited) is
one deserving of the utmost sympathy. We trust
that the public at large will take their suf-
ferings into consideration, and contribute li-
berally to the funds about to be raised
for their benefit, and which, we may mention, will not
in any way pass through the hands of the Executive
Council or any persons in any way connected with
the Amalgamated Society.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
.Although the evening papers of Wednesday con-
tamed a communicated note denying the rumour
given by the Constitutionnel of the intention of the
PRESIDENT to submit the confiscation decrees of the
Orleans property to the Senate, the Meniteur does
not repeat the note, which shows that it is not official.
The Constitutionnel is likewise silent respecting the
contradiction given to its previous announcement. :It
merely copies the contradiction as it appeared in Wed-
nesday evening's journals.
The same journal contains a somewhat interesting
article on the remarks made by M. CHARLES DUPIN on
the, savings' banks in opening his last course of lec-
tures, but which, the Constitutionnel says, may be
summed up in a few lines. M. Denis had spoken
with some warmth against the interference of the
Government with this institution in 1848 and in
1851. The Constitutionnel observes that, although it
disapproved at the time of the proceedings in 1848,
it should be remembered, now, that the persons who
were compelled to take stock in rentes for their de-
posits have been amply indemnified, as they are now
able to sell for 103 f. what was given to them at 80f.
As regards the measures of 1851, it is of opinion that
they were necessary for the interests of the insti-
tution.

The Moniteur publishes an elaborate financial
statement by M. FOULD, the ex-Minister of Finances,
dated the 20th inst., and says that at the moment,
when he sent in his resignation, he was terminating it.
M. BOILAY, one of the editors of the Constitutionnel,
is named secretary general of the Council of State, in
place of M. CHEYALIER, who refuses acceptance.
M. CHARLES ABBATUCCI has been appointed Chef
du Cabinet of the Minister of Justice.

" It is positively asserted," says the Debats, "that
the general elections for the members of the Legisla-
♦ive Body are to take place on Sunday the 15th and
Monday the 16th February."
M. PIETRI, the new prefect of police, has issued a
proclamation to the inhabitants of Paris on his acces-
sion to office. In this document the Prince Louis
NAPOLEON is styled the heir of the EMPEROR• M.
PIETRI promises to be paternal as well as severe.

tive Commission.
The Bourse was agitated, and at one period Govern-
ment stock declined considerably. It recovered, how-
ever, before the close of 'ausiness, and closed somewhat
higher than yesterday. The Five per Cents. opened at

SPAIN.

The accounts from Madrid are of the 24th inst.

The Duke of RTANZARES had gone to join the
KING at Rio Frio. His MAJESTY WAS to return to
Madrid on the 27th, to assist at the funeral service
celebrated every year, on the 28th, in the Church of
Atocha,
in memory of his mother.
Count DE GUITAUD, second Secretary of the French
Embassy, had left for Paris. His journey was un-
connected with any political negotiation.
A Cabinet Council was held the night before,
under the Presidency of the QUEEN. The question
relative to the Church property had been amicably
adjusted, and the best possible harmony existed
among Ministers.
MADRID BOLSA, JAN. 24.—The Three per Cents.
were done at 384 for time; the new Three per Cents. at
19; the Debt without Interest, at 54; and the Coupons
at 94.

GERMANY.
The Post Amt Gazette of Frankfort, under date
of Vienna, 23d, says— "It is announced, from a
source worthy of credit, that the affair of the Loin-
bardian refugees at Turin has been arranged. Those
who are seriously compromised will be expelled
and those who are less so will be ordered to reside in
some of the secondary towns. The Austrian Go-
vernment engages itself to allow the refugees to re-
turn to their country, in the event of there existing no
serious obstacles to it."
In the sitting of the First Chamber at Munich on
the 24th, the Bill on the press was voted, as well as a
Bill empowering the Crown to name the president of
that Chamber. In the sitting of the same day of the
Second Chamber, the president of the council de-
dared that the deputy LASAULX, having used an
improper expression towards the PRESIDENT of the
French Republic, he felt it his duty to protest against
such language. The President of the Chamber said
he had not himself heard the expression made use of,
or he should have immediately enforced the regula-
tions of the Chamber.
A letter from Vienna states that the EMPEROR has
just appointed Baron CULMER, who has up to this
time been a Minister without portfolio, to be Minister
of the Empire.
