THE SUN.
LONDON, THURSDAY, FEB. 7, 1881.

There is life in Prussia yet. We were about to
say more life in Prussia than in England ; for
yesterday' an amendment to the Address was
actually carried, and carried against the most
earnest entreaties of the Foreign Secretary, Baron
VON SCIILEINITZ. We congratulate Prussia, how-
ever,-on the amendment itself, as well as on the
fact that the deputies have proved themselves to
be net the mere tools of a Minister. We might
say that we congratulate her on the mover too, he
being no other than M. VON VINCKE, the distin-
guished and clear headed liberal of 1848. Nor was
it carried by any surprise; the debate lasted with
vigour for' six hours, and the members who
divided ware, for the Prussian Chamber, large-
-158 against 148. By this majority was the im-
portant amendment carried " That we do not
consider it to be either in the interest of Prussia
or in the interest of Germany to place obstacles in
the Way of the consolidation of the unity of Italy."
Perhaps all parties in England will hail this
resolution a's ab omen favourable to peace as well
as to Italian unity and freedom. With such a
manirestatton of public feeling in Prussia, Austria
cannot count on her aid in Venetia, hardly perhaps
in Trieste.;, and it was the ill-temper of Prussia, it
will be remembered, and of other German Govern-
ments-, when LOUIS NAPOLEON neared the Quad-
rilateral, which, as he intimated, had much to do
with his conclliding a hasty peace. It is pleasing
to us here to see a German people thus publishing
at last their convictions of the rights of Italy. In
1848 th'e' foolish Germans were actually in favour
of Austrian domination in Italy; they thought il
condtsced•to the grandeur of the German name,
Ever since then they have been slow to learn what
was due to Italy, because it would lessen the great •
ness of Austria, a German Power, and perhaps
eventually, withdraw what they hoped would be
a German port from them. At length it seems that
in th& part of Germany where free discussion is
Possible,: they have, learned what was just to their
illeiglitiburs south of the-Alps, and sympathise with
the Wlil of a• great, divided, and oppressed people
to become (Ate
_nation. We trust this feelina. . will
now show itself Wherever liberal feeling survives
Germany_, 'Pell, if it be strong enough to exert
a reflex tactless, to lead the German people them-
selves ttx become one great nation, and then with a
strong Italy; t.l strongllungary, and an United Ger-

Whiqh, is simple Austrianism ; for, Germany does
