LONDON, TIIESDAY;\JUNE 10, 1851.

was agitated for a considerable time by the doubts
and terrors arising out of the same source of national
disquietude, and Frankfort itself transformed from
an arena of parliamentary discussion into the battle-
ground of dreamers and anarchists. Afterwards
came the melancholy fruits of disappointment, the
sullenly extorted submission of citizens, whose re-
cognition of the monarchical deceit very speedily
changed their love into hatred, causing them to
cherish their enthusiasm henceforth in secret, until
the time which should transform them into the aven-
gers of their dead and vanquished compatriots. Within
a brief interval from the present moment, the Royal
Master of Panama. has capped the climax of his
treacheries by the concessions made by him on the
occasion of his memorable interview with the Autocrat
of all the Russia& Yielding to the fatal fascination
of that "powerful and wily potentate, FREDERICK
WILLIAM has allowed himself to be bound hand and
foot, body and soul, by the trammels of Muscovite
predominance. It has been recorded that during
this meeting of the Sovereigns, the CZAR passed his
arm affectionately round the burly form of the descen-
dant of the Great FREDERICK, apostrophizing him
as his "dear Fanz," and while so doing metamor-
phosing his cousin into his vassal, the recipient of
his friendship into the victim of his authority. In
testimony of the completeness of the transformation it
is, in truth, but necessary to point to that dastardly
edict published by order of FREDERICK WILLIAM,
immediately on his return to his capital, by virtue of
which the old provincial diets of Prussia were restored
in their full integrity, precisely as they were prior to
the movement of 1848—a proceeding, be it observed,
which effectually destroys the last vestige of the
paltry and insufficient boon obtained of late years in
lieu of the promised and now indefinitely postponed
constitution.
Such is the instant result of the recent meeting
between the Prussian Kiao and the Russian EM-
PEROR. Germany may now, therefore, be regarded
as little less than a feof of the already gigantic domi-
nions of the AUTOCRAT. The vision of emancipation
bas again faded away from the reveries of the children
of Rhineland under the sinister influence of that
house of Romanoff, whose power has for the last cen-
tury and a half proved so prejudicial to the liberties
of the European continent. While the ambition of
the CZAR has only grown with the growth of his
empire, and strengthened with the strength of his
government, the self-respect of the western poten-
tates has dwindled down to absolute nothingness.
Poland fell first—Poland, the noblest and the most
unfortunate of all the victims of the Mus-
covite lust of territorial aggrandisement. Singe then
the Danubian provinces have been subjugated almost
imperceptibly under an apparently generous guise of
protection. Austria in like manner has been, little
by little, drawn into the vortex of this maelstrom of
despotic influences until she has become the ready
handmaid of Russian tyranny, prepared at any mo-
ment to obey the slightest injunction coming to her
from the Imperial Council chambers of St. Peters-
burgh. During the autumn of 1849 we witnessed
the consummation of this lamentable extension of
sway on the part of the AUTOCRAT over the Viennese
Government, in the bloody successes achieved by
PA SKEWITCH over the heroic but deceived Hun-
garians. Gratitude, among other reasons, may now
be thrust upon the attention of the KAISER as a re-
minder of the subserviency due by him to his Impe.
rial Lord paramount, the Emperor NICHOLAS. Hav-
ing accomplished so much in the way of reducing
contemporary sovereigns to a state little less
ignominious than that of actual vassalage, the CZAR
at length appears to have resolved that the King of
PRUSSIA should be another among the crowned
traitors to be harnessed to his car during such time
as it pleased him to assume the aspect of a Sesostris.
A trifling interval has proved amply sufficient for the
development of his schemes in this particular,
FREDERICK WILLIAM being already added to the
list of the royal victims of his most daring and malign
fascination. Whether NICHOLAS has been guided in
these proceedings by the dictates of sound judgment
a brief lapse of time will be alone required to demon-
strate. Before another " lustre" can be added to the
records of Europe, there will be proof such as even
the blind may read and the deaf may hear, proof
of the wisdom or of the folly of these evidences of
imperial audacity. History will then narrate the
verification of that famous prophecy of
the greatest man of modern times, that prophecy
which he uttered with Sybilline solemnity from his
exile at St. Helena, that before fifty years had elapsed
Europe would either be Cossack or Republican. The
AUTOCRAT is already impelling the antagonistic
power to extremities, infuriating the nations of the
west with the rigour of his policy, the insolence of
his aggressions, the haughty assumption in every act
of a divine right to the universal governance of
Christendom. It would be well, perhaps, for him to
remember the fate which has invariably befallen the
contriver of every instrument of torture or destruc-
tion, from the artist who manufactured the brazen
ball in which he was himself roasted to death by order
of PEALARIS, to the physician who suggested the
guillotine, by which he himself was decapitated by
the command of the first Revolutionists. Upon the
head of NICHOLAS or of his successor must in like
manner descend the accumulated vengeance of many
oppressed and outraged generations : and the sub-
servient princes of the continent will have to thank
their own infamous pusillanimity alone if, on tha
occasion, the reign of democracy be unhappily inau•
gurated by a terrible and avenging saturnalia.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received such of the Paris journals as
were published yesterday; but in consequence of
the festival of Whitsuntide being observed as a close
holiday, the majority of the journals did not appear.
Among those, however, which were published is the
Pays, which contains a very important article on the
present state of affairs, from the pen of M. DB LA-.
MARTINE. It commences thus :
" The word of Providence in 1848 was the Republic!
Is the nation now, on account of partial agitations, and
some few temporary difficulties, to tefuse or accept that
that word? Even supposing that the majority of French-
men were not republican by inclination on the evening
of February 24, on the morrow they could not but be
so from reflection. I will endeavour to make myself
understood. A nation is a man, or a nation is a man
multiplied by ten, twenty, or thirty millions of indivi-
duals. It follows that a nation is composed of the same
elements as a man. Nod, every man is endowed by
God with a faculty which is called the instinct of
self-preservation. It is this conservative instinct in
man which makes him ever watchful to foresee,
avoid, or resist, whatever in the world around him may
threaten his existence, and make him defend his life
with all the means at his disposal. Now, a whole nation
is never blind, mad, or bent on self-destruction. It
wishes to live in order, peace, and security. Such is its
predominant instinct, and this instinct becomes its
wisdom and its policy, when, like France, it has reached
a high degree of intelligence, foresight, experience and
organization. Well, carry out this train of reasoning,
and ask—What would become of France, if she were
now, through disgust, fickleness, or childish impatience,
to abandon the Republic? Let us examine the nature
of the dangers into which she would fall. If France had
only one Republic and one Monarchy before her, I can
easily conceive that she might deliberate, and say in
turn, ' Monarchy humiliates me, I will choose the Re-
public!' and then.

M. DE LAMARTIME then proceeds to set forth the
antagonism of the various parties, which he accom-
plishes in a lively and not unamusing manner. He
says :
" There is not only the Republic on one aide and
Monarchy on the other, bat there are on one side two
or three detestable anarchies, and on the other three
or four feeble monarchies. These, monarchies and
anarchies would soon be fighting over the wreck of
France, if she did not hold firmly on to an honest, mo-
derate, civilized, and rational Republic, into which we
entered with our National Assembly, named by ourselves
to save us from ruin and give us a government. Sup-
pose some one should suddenly inform us that ` France
is tired of the moderate Republic, in which she was just
beginning to live and breathe. She has proclaimed
the monarchy. Vive le Roi What king ? ' would
exclaim all the Legitimatists. `lsit he whom we re-
gard as the only, legitimate possessor of the crown?
the sacred and hereditary representative of an
inalienable and divine right, which God himself in-
fused into the blood of a single family? If it is not he,
we acknowledge him not. As to bowing down to any
bastard monarchy or pitiful regency, set up by the trick-
sters of July, we would rather prefer civil war!' Sup-
pose, on the contrary, we are suddenly told that the
monarchy is proclaimed in the person of the exile of
1830, the legitimate heir to the rights and misfortunes
of his race—in short, Henry V., the Legitimatists would
shout, Vive le Roil' And what king?' would exclaim
the partisans of the monarchy of July. Is it the son of
the Duke of Orleans? the widow's son? She grandson of
Louis Philippe? If it is he, well and good. That is the
restoration we want; he shall reign, and we will govern,
and share amongst us power, place, and favour. But if
it is not he, if it is the king of the past, the king of our
enemies, the king of the church and defunct feudalism,
the king whose name would evoke round the throne
all the phantoms of the middle ages, that were driven
away by the French revolution, may destruction
seize the posthumous king; we will none of him. We
prefer the Republic to humiliation under a king
who is not of our making. No, no; anything rather
than that, even civil war!' Now for a last supposition,
which would be an odious accusation if it were anything
more than a pure hypothesis; suppose, I say, that we
are told all of a sadden, The monarchy is restored;
Viva I'Empereur What Emperor?' would cry at
once Legitimatists, Orleanists, and. Republicans. 'ls it
the Emperor of the 18th Brumaire, of Marengo, or Aus-
terlitz? the overthrower of Republics, the distributor of
crowns ? Oh, then perhaps we shall once more bow
down to a man to enjoy the glory of seeing all Europe
bow down to us. But is it a relative, a nephew, a des-
cendant of the great warrior? Is it an exile recalled to
the soil of tho Republic ? If so, let us be stirring ; let
us join the Orleanists, the Legitimatists, the Republicans,
the Liberals of every shade; do not let us suffer a nation
to be confiscated and ten revolutions turned into a jest.
No, no; better have ten civil wars I' "
The writer then draws his conclusion in the follow-
ing manner :
" It is the good fortune of the Republic to have a va-
riety of enemies. If it had only one, it might fall; but
it has five or six, that all detest each other more than
any one of them detests the Republic. The number of
its enemies brings nifty. The Republic is the asylum
and neutral ground of all parties. There is not one
which does not say to the other—' I prefer my own
principles to the Republic, but I prefer the Republic to
you.' "

The Bulletin de Paris says :—" M. THIERS has
returned from Paris to London full of admiration for
the wonders at the Exhibition, of which, he says,
none of the writers in the French journals have suc-
ceeded in giving anything like an adequate idea of
its grandeur and magnificence. He spent nine days
there, amongst the most eminent manufacturers and
professional men, who, pleased to meet with so supe-
rior an intellect, gladly gave him every explanation.
M. TRIERS asserts that there can be no dispute as to
the high position France holds at the Exhibition, es-
pecially in her silk manufactures. He was struck
with the fact that France is pre-eminent in all the
articles of luxury, which none but the wealthiest can
buy ; whereas England excels in the productions
usually consumed by the middle and poorer classes.
Thus democratic France works for the rich, and aris-
tocratic England works for the poor. Since his re-
turn, M. LITERS has frequently expressed to his
friends his admiration of the Exhibition, and he expa-
tiates on the importance of this great page of indus-
trial history as a means of showing the progress of
civilization, and giving it a fresh impulse."

of Foreign Affairs said that the Minister of War
would give an answer on a future day.
