L9NDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 185 G.

" Germanism" is in the ascendant ! Neutrality
has triumphed ! The policy of abstention has
achieved.n remarkablesuccess ! Prussia has actually
been invited to resume the functions she wilfully
and deliberately abdicated, and to take part in the
Conferences from which she had banished herself
by her own acts. This will be painful intelligence
to the English people. Nor will the causes that
must have led to the obnoxious proceeding render
it more pleasing. There cam no longer be any
doubt on the subject. Not only has it been offi-
cially published in the Government organ at Paris,
but our own Premier has acknowledged it
in the House of Coarnone. We can imagine
the shame with which the painful revelation
was made. The triumph of unconstitutional
influences admitted. Is there any longer an Eng-
lish party in Parliament ? Are there any of the
chosen representatives of independent constituen-
cies who will abstain from toadying the prevailing
power ? There might be some few men ready to
put forward sentiments in accordance with those
of the great majority of the nation. But, alas !
the age of chivalry has departed. There are none
to undertake duties, however urgent, that may
render the party obnoxious in high quarters.
The explanations rendered by Lord PALMER-
STON are by no means calculated to alleviate the
general uneasiness felt at the inauspicious tidings.
The Noble Lord adduced unanswerable reasons
for the previous exclusion of Prussia. She was
not, it appears, to take any part in the negotiations
for which her own conduct had most properly
disqualified her. It was only to accede to the
results arrived at by others mere deeply interested
in the matter. There is, then, every reason to
dread that peace had been actually concluded be.
fore the ill-omened invitation was transmitted, and
on terms which, from aught that has hitherto
come to light, cannot be considered very condu-
cive to the honour or interests of Great Britain.
There is in all this matter fur deep and serious
reflection. How is it that Germany has been so
highly favoured in every respect, while every
British feeling has been treated with contumelious
indifference ? " Tee paleione of fare dies," the
interests of dynasties, should not be permitted to
control the course of public events. It is unfor•
tunately but too notorious that there are family
arrangements in progress that render it desirable
to get Prussia out of the scrape, in which her
mistaken and injudiciou.s policy has involved her.
But " England has no censine or uncles." Her
interests are not to b3eacriGeed with impuniy for
others, with which her people can have no
sympathies. There was no point which induced
the nation to welcome with greater enthusiasm
the acceeeion of Qus,en VICTORIA than the suppo-
sition that it emnpletely severed the German
connexion, that had operated so prajulicially for
a succession ofyoars, under five different Monarchs.
LA us not unnecessarily deeeaerate into even a
worse condition than that from which we were
so happily exempted in 1837.

Prussia advisedly selected her own course.
She had been one of the Great Powers of Europe,
but voluntarily abandoned the position. She
connived at the aggression that led to the War—
encouraged the AUTOCRAT in the course on which,
unfortunately for himself, and for the peace of
the world, he entered. Ifer only object from the
