GENTLEMEN OF THE 1101;SE OF COMMONS,
We are commanded by her Majesty to thank
you for the wise liberality with -which you have
granted the necessary supplies for the military and
naval defences of the

The anxiously-looked-for revelations
the state of affairs on tho Continent to both Rouses
of Parliament have been duly made.

That Austria was the original delinquent is
unquestionable. It was her most unwarrantable
interference with quasi independent Italian States,
reducing their Sovereigns to mere German satraps,
and suppressing every aspiration for freedom and
improved institutions on the part of the oppressed
peoples, that led to the grave complications which
have not as yet been disposed of. There is an in•
nate feeling of despotism prevailing in every Ger-
man Court, which nothing can mitigate or amelio-
rate. .

privilege conferred on a community—is an

at any cost. It is true that they may not be in
any degree interfered with, or personally concerned.
But it would be a bad example, and they might
be expected to make concessions, if any of the
neighbouring rulers
showedmore
than the way. Thus we
have heard something more hints, that " free
institutions were on their trial;'
and even the
