The visit of King Latta-,

1_ ~141,

Prussian armies seem to keep each other in coun-
tenance. What the Prince of PRUSSIA may pro-
mise to himself by his enigmatical conduct time
will prove ; but to our apprehension he is trying
a rather hazardous game. If his purpose be
to incense the French and thereby encourage the
Austrians in their almost hopeless campaign, we
fancy he will find himself mistaken in both cases. In
the first, the French can well afford to bide their
time, and teach the Prussians that moderation would
better have been their policy than rushing in to
fight at shadows, like the blustering boy who dared
everything in his fanciful bravery, until at
last the real substance made its appearance in
frightful mood, and then who so quiet as he ?
Even so will it be with the Prussians, who are now
rushing on to the Rhine to vaunt their well disci-
plined courage from the various fortresses ; but
who will shrink with dismay when the legions
of triumph unfurl their banners, flushed with
the glories of the Italian campaign on the banks
of that Rhine which, sooner or later, must be
the natural boundary of the Empire. In fact,
the Prussians have no more right to be
on the Rhine than their brothers in iniquity,
the Austrians have to trample down freedom on the
fair plains of Italy. Both monarchies derive their
stolen titles from the Congress of Vienna
—a Congress got up by themselves and for their
own especial benefit. And yet we are to be insulted
with the mockery of treaties, and told we must
abide by them simply because the robbers put in
the statute of limitations in bar to any moles-
tation of their ill-gotten territory. Why, there
never was and will be a law to sanctify wrong
bat by the power of those who can, and
do, outrage every principle of right. The
treaty of Vienna was a political juggle in which
England was defrauded or sold, in which France was
despoiled of the fruits of her hard-earned victories,
and the people of Europe were cheated out of their
promised liberties. And yet we hear men—no,
not men, but noble lords prate about the sacredness
of treaties as if the 3 were based upon justice and
equal rights to all parties. No, the day of retri-
bution, however long deferred, is coming with
the grim certainty and steady step of
fate, and woe be to these who in their fancied
strength invoke the contest. One word to the
PRINCE REGENT of Prussia—beware of another
Jena—and to Austria—the sun of another Auster-
litz will seal your doom

What shall be done with Norwich ? What will
Lord JOHN RUSSELL and honest Mr. WALPOLE
propose to do with it ? Its merits and demerits
will soon come before them, and if half what is
currently reported proves to be true, and we have
little doubt that it will, the opponents of the
Ballot will find it hard, indeed, to resist the sug-
gestion that it should' have a trial there.
Our readers will see that a petition has been
sent to the House of Commons by the corporation
of the city—sent, in apparently, a judicial spirit.
The corporation is, of course, of no party—corpora-
tions are not ; and feeling itself charged with the
reputation of the city,-and the proofs being flagrant
that it was very much endangered, the corporation
boldly demands that the electoral constituency
of their city shall be put fairly on its trial, and
that a great public scandal shall not be hushed up
in the lobby or committee rooms of
by compromises
the House of Commons.

We have made, however, some inquiries into
this rather singular case, and we lay the result
before our readers. Of course we have nothing
like depositions, and affidavits, and evidence in
legal form yet. We have notoriety only and rumour;'
so general, however, that we have not in all our
inquiries heard of a single denial of the reports
