specimen of popular government, every species
of authority which draws its sustenance from the
will, or is rooted in the affections of the people.
But the King of BAVARIA, though he allow-
ed the baneful plant to be reared in the hot-
bed of congresses and conferences, did, on the
very eve of its being transplanted into open air,
gallantly step for ward to nip the noisome weed,
to extirpate it altogether by withholding his
consent, or to circumscribe its noxious qua-
lities by such various and extensive prun-
ings, that METTERNICH despairs of gather-
ing any fruit from its barren and denuded
stump. Wise as this wily negotiator is
in his own conceit, he cannot but feel
that he is baffied—nay, what to him is yet
worse, outwitted in his favourite scheme. He
was already crest-fallen at finding his contri-
vances for Dutch, Portuguese, Turkish, and
Swiss affairs, all discomfitted or shifted to abler
hands, but to be crowed over in his own dung-
hill of Germany I Oh ! most sad humiliation
indeed ! He has no resource but holding up
his hands in astonishment at the perverse
taste of England and France, who prefer
good fellowship, prosperity and union, to
distrust, caballing, and war ; and in stig-
matizing the truly German policy of Bava-
ria as the height of bad faith and perfidy.
Rare perfidy indeed, to prefer his own honour,
his own profit, and the liberty and independence
of the State over which he presides, to -sub-
jection to the double-distilled despotism Of
Vienna and Berlin, and to the unarmed,
but scarcely clandestine interference of the
Muscovite Autocrat. Let the German
Princes look to the real wishes of their people,
and once strong in the affections of their sub-
jects, they may safely deride the projects of all
despotic courts. If, in spite of the Diet, or
through the means of that assembly, perverted
by violence or intrigue, to such nefarious pur-
poses, any attempt be made to trample on their
independence, they may, we think, read in the
Quadruple Alliance this consolatory truth,—
that they would, in any such emergency, find,
in the Western and Representative Monarchies
of Europe, both the will and the power fully
sufficient to counteract—aye, and to chastise—
the base and meddling policy of the North.

The result of the Chatham and Edinburgh
election must go far to convince the' most pre-
judiced that Ministers still retain their wonted
strong hold on the affections of the community,
and that in the Oxford mummeries it was not
the voice of a nation, but of a petty, bigotted
faction, that spoke out. Neither at Chatham
nor at Edinburgh did the Government party
have recourse to any, even the slightest, ma-
noeuvres to get their own candidates-returned.
The people were allowed fair play at both places.
Indeed, at Chatham, Ministers with a delicacy
and uprightness of feeling that does them cre-
dit, sent down express orders that " no autho-
rity whatever should be used over the workmen
in the dock-yards." When were such orders
ever despatched, on a similar occasion, from
head-quarters, by a Tory Ministry ?

The Paris papers of Wednesday are as usual
engrossed with the subject of the elections.
The Constitutionnel, however, has an article
on foreign politics- the drift of which is to show
that the conquest and partition of Turkey have
been resolved on, and that there is every symp-
tom of such an infamous spoliation taking
place shortly. The Journal adds, that there is
no doubt of the fact that the Porte has a second
time applied to Russia for assistance. A serious
disposition to revolt is reported to exist among
the French troops of Algiers.
