LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1868.

Just now affairs in Vienna seem to engage a
great deal of notice, and the general feeling is being
developed in favour of progress. A public meeting
was held yesterday, at which some important
speeches were delivered, developing the programme
of the German popular party. The meeting adopted
some significant resolutions condemning the exclu-
sion of Austria from Germany, and protesting
against the German question being solved merely
by a policy of " annexation." The efforts of the
popular party were then approved of, which aim at
the German question being settled upon a Democratic
basis. Finally, a committee was appointedto:organise
a branch of the popular party in Austria. While
acknowledging the truth of these resolutions in the
inconsistency of Prussia professing to insure public
freedom, and ending by establishing a military des-
potism, it must be said that Austria has not, in
reality, been the loser in the affair, for what she
has added to her Constitution far more than makes
up for what was taken from her in the late disas-
trous war. Who thought a few years ago that we
should see or hear of a public meeting being held in
Vienna, and that for the purpose of advocating the
advanced views of the popular party ! The pro-
gress thus made rests on a sure foundation, and it
is far more likely in the long run to be of service
than any temporary success of a brilliant na-
ture, or any triumph that springs from
mere military prowess. Too much credit
cannot be given to the EMPEROR and his
Ministers for the support and encouragement they
have given to this march of mind, and they are the
more meritorious because they were all the time
suffering from the depression occasioned by defeat
and mortification. We do not wonder that indigna-
tion and irritation should exist upon the subject of
their exclusion from their Fatherland in the minds
of Austrians ; but they have the satisfaction, at any
rate, that without them the scheme of Prussia can-
not be complete, and the boast of unity is evidently
an unfounded assertion, when so large and influ-
ential a part of the community is shut out from
reciprocity. If it were only the recollection of the
time when they last met to discuss politics, there
had been enough to excite their regret and
awaken their distrust. Then Count BISMARCK was
the hero of the hour, and expectation was rife
to see what changes he could bring about.
But alas for human hopes, the wily statesman of
Berlin was the insidious foe of all Austrian freedom,
and the before and after of his celebrated improve-
ment may well rank among the curiosities of his
age. We cannot say that just now any decided
change may ensue from the general demonstration
that the capital of Austria has witnessed, but still it
is a sign nut to be overlooked by the experienced
judge of political affairs. A better opportunity
could not have been afforded for the display of the
national sentiment than the rifle meeting of German
marksmen, because it assembled people together
without any appearance of premeditation, or the
semblance of anything that could give offence to
the Prussians.

The part which Frankfort took in the affair must
not be overlooked, for it is a most important one,
and it is not to be anticipated that those in high
places at Berlin will approve of what passed,
though they can hardly take any public notice of
it, if only for their own credit's sake. The repre-
sentatives of Frankfort declared that they sym-
pathised with Austria, and were members
of Germany, to which tlr.v. belonged. It
is idle in the face of this to talk of
