New sources of anxiety as to the possible settle-
ment of the Schleswig-Holstein Question open them-
selves to our conjecture in consequence of the sudden
death of the Prussian Prime Minister, Count BRAN-
DENBURG. At the first receipt of this very startling
intelligence we find it difficult to guess whether or
not the disruption of the present Cabinet of
FRIEDERICII WILHELM will tend to results of an
advantageous character. It is true that the latest
political act of the deceased statesman was no other
than a bold assertion of a pacific and conciliator 3
policy. Nevertheless, while acknowledging the some,
what tardy submission on his part to the
demands at once of justice and humanity,
we cannot so speedily lose a recollection of the
circumstance that to the departed administrator are
attributable that disastrous policy which, within the
frontiers was repressive, and beyond them aggressive.
Having succeeded to the conduct of the Administra-
tion at a period when Democracy appeared to be
shaking down the whole monarchical fabric of the
house of HOHENZOLLERN, Count BRANDENBURG re-
placed the fallen diadem of the Great FREDERICK on
the brow of his descendant by the regular organiza-
tion for the time being of a civil and military despot-
ism. The inadequacy of such moderato rulers as
BECKERATH or CAMPHAUSEN, and their associates,
their total and utter inadequacy to compete with the
dominating leaders of the revolution, had prepared
the Count 13tts..smEssurcia immediately on his assump-
tion of power to throw aside at once and for ever the
policy of concession and conciliation. The Prussian
sceptre under his guidance became transformed into a
two-edged weapon, trenchant and incisive. Awed
by the resolute attitude assumed by the Berlin Go-
vernment when presided over by BRANDENBURG, the
aspirants for Germanic li''y3ration were compelled,
after a bloody struggle, to yield, in the hope of some
better opportunity. When 2 meditating over these oc-
curre aces it is impossible, v F course, to withhold the
expressions of our contempt for the faithless and vac-
cilinting, SOVEREIGN who Lad himself raised the
sanguine spirit of the den- to crats only to disappoint
thrum 11r the bullet and th, ; bayonet. At the same
amp, however, it must be admitted even by the most
enthusiastic sympathisers v rith the revolutionists thatno
portion of the blame can in justice be directed against
the Prime Minister of the e ,-reactionary Government.

The Count BRANDENEUR G s toed pledged to no poli-
tical party whatever. H. en tered upon the conduct
p• it of affairs untrammelled I .promises, and at perfect
41iAeri7•tq follow in ever) r i'mstance the dictates of his
Himself '2l natural half-brother of the
onarch, and con a !quently uncle to the reign-
LIMN, his wishes were in a measure bound
maintenance of the existing dynasty.
