observe that if the King of Prussia persuaded
by the illusions of heat ed una gnation, or the no
less dangerous receptions of atterers, that he can
put down the insurrection III the Netherlands by

difficult TO foresee that such attempt would even

demands; and If they are enlightened enough to ap-

cannot be the beSoted slaves of ignorance and priest
craft, as writer's have stated. At all events
they have taken formidable attitude, and it is right
that those who have to cope with the danger, should
know the extent of it, because Governments as well
individuals have been lost by presumption as well
as by tiruidi.y.
With regard to the new government of France il
is by certain that the great powers of
Europe will follow the example of England in recog-
nising it. The London Herald, referring to the
French papers of September 5th, says:
