and Portugal stagnating into quietude, while Italy
has been tormented with the throes of civil discord, and
agonized by the presence of foreign armies. We have
watched Turkey mustering, the whole force of the
°Woman empire, drawing auxiliary battalions from
her most remote Pachalics, from Egypt, from Da-
mascus, from llaleb, from Bagdad, and from Armenia,
and congregating them all near the Golden Horn of
the Bosphorus previously to marching them north-
wards through Roumelia to the Danube. We have
watched the spread of popular ambition from Mol-
davia and Wallachia to the Podolian and Tran-
sylvanian provinces. We have observed Gal-
lids, at last, startled into activity by the triumphs
of the Polish Generals. We have seen the
legions of the AUTOCRAT pressing forward
in earnest to the aid of Austria; and have recognised
on the other hand the resolute, attitude assumed by
the French democrats in the defence of their own
Republican institutions, and in their sympathy for
the true liberties of contemporary nationalities.
Meanwhile Germany has passed on, comparatively
speaking, unnoticed. Occasionally the attention of
Englishmen has been fixed upon her for an instant
when intelligence has arrived to the effect that Baden
has risen in arms, or that the Saxons have driven their
Monarch from his capital, or that Dresden is in the
hands of a Provisional Government. Yet, now-a-days,
revolutions have become such matters-of-course that
we are almost in the same state of mind as the hero
in Mr. BOURCICAULT'S farce, who looked down the
crater of Vesuvius and declared, shrugging his
shoulders, that there was " nothing in it." We read
down the list of a Provisional Government with the
same air of ennui and come to the conclusion,
shrugging our shoulders, that there is " nothing in
it." Saving and excepting these momentary
glances at the events which have of late oc-
curred in Germany, the gaze of the majority of
our countrymen, has, of late, we are satisfied, been
turned in totally different directions. Considering,
however, that the whole of the onward movement of
the Confederation has been impeded by a variety of
recent obstructions and difficulties, we think it would
be only just in those who have in any, way sympa-
thised in the commencement of that movement to
examine into those casualties which have latterly
threatened to prevent its successful termination.

The old evil has again sprung into existence. State
is being marshalled against state. Jealousies which
had been for a while nearly extinguished have been
fanned into a flame from their warm ashes. The
feeling which ruined the cause of NAPOLEON in
Spain, where each of his Marshals refused to become
subordinate to the other, thereby splitting the French
army into divisions, and allowing them to be over-
come piecemeal by the English and Spaniards under
WELLINGTON—has begun to affect the members, and
destroy the cause of the German Confederation. None
of the kingdoms or principalities will consent to
waive their claims for precedence; political, geo-
graphical, and even religious feuds are revived; and
by this means the strength of the democratic
majority is being frittered away by an ingenious
intrigue on the part ot the aristocratic minority. V.' e
repeat—of the aristocratic minority; for we are
satisfied that the whole of the recent differences are
attributable to " the Bureaucratie, the recipients of
the public expenditure," who see in the estrange-
ment of the various principalities the one from the
other the only available means of preventing that
combination which would deprive them at once
of their provincial pay, power, and import-
ance. This is the traitorous hand which has
been furtively thrust into the delicate mechanism
of the nascent Government of United Germany, dis-
arranging all those exquisite portions which had been
fitted together with such laborious caution and such-
elaborate ingenuity.
In a letter addressed, during the course of the pre-
sent May, to her MAJESTY'S Foreign Secretary by
the Honourable Baronet the Representative of Bed-
ford, there occur one or two of those home sentences
which display more vividly than a thousand of the
subtlest arguments the right of Germany to struggle
for her unity as a nation. In answer to those who
sneer, at the present movement as akin to the chase of
an ignis fatuus, or of a mirage, or of a fata morgana,
Sir HARRY VERNEY simply remarks that the people
of Germany remember " that Germany was as much
one country under CHARLES V., as France under
FRANCIS I." Further on, he says, " The Germans
are in many respects taking the lead in European
civilization, and are they alone to be deprived of
constitutional government ? Spain, and Portugal,
and Sweden, and Norway, and now Denmark, have
representative constitutions (and he might have said
Greece), as well as France and Britain, and
will Germany be content without them ?" But yet
later he gives the strongest reason of all—this: " Out
of Germany, a man born between the Alps and the
Baltic is known only as a German. Why," he in-
quires, " should not all Germans have a common
fatherland at home as well as abroad ?" Why ? The
question is asked by forty millions—inhabitants of
Germany l The answers of the reactionists are their
intrigues. Shell the movement therefore be ineffec-
tual? GOD forbid. Germany has declared itself for
unity: unity shall be to Germany I
