The Internal and Foreign affairs of Germany
Germany is at this moment agitated ON all sides ;
not with agitation, however, such results FROM
or preoedes, or accompanies a revolution, and from
which q better state Of things may be expected to
grow but 1t is harrsssed all sides BY foreign powers
who mock at and deride the idea of, the German
Union.' some Of whom-Denmark, for instsnce-are
Insignificant and remind of theidea of the fly at
lacking the lion 1t does little ridiculous that
little State. Of and half million inhabitants
should be able not only to rspsl the nvasons Of its
foes, but, in its turn attack annoy and humble NO.
ton consisting Of fortyhvs millions Of people But
such is the fact The has lasted for more than
four months the several German ports have bee
bleckaded commerce disturbed, and great number
Of German merchant ships attacked, taken, and
demned by the Danish Court of Admiralty and st
are IS far from q prospect Of peace as ever. In
Italy, the Austrian arms have been victorious But
now that all occasion for British French interven
cock In for their share OF the spos nov Rusaa
even enters into an unnatural and unexpected alli-
ance with the I" sunny France" in order to have
word to say In the affair Of Mailand 1t is difficult
to predict the final result of this war The
peaceful solution Of the political query may be
more dfhcuit than the military subjugstion of the
insurgents has been. 1t is asserted by some that
secret treaty has been entered into by Charles Albert
and Radetsky and the sudden and cowardly aban-
encourages n
superstition. By others, IL is supposed that the Cabn
Of Vienna proposes to the LON permit them to
elect their own government; in confederation Of
which, they are to annex themselves to Austria as
sumo a share Of the national debt, and pay a part
Of the expenses of the war Is il not strange that
Austria, which being itself attacked repealed the foe
and drove him back to within his own boundary
which completely and VIGOROUSLY defeated It's enemy
in whose favor the spirit and letter of all treaties
speak-tresties which France and England both have
signed-that Austria, in whose favor the usage of
nations and international right speaks, that has
should have the whole Germaa Confederacy on its
side to back its demandsthat Austria in spite of all
this and in spite of much that could be adduced
In it's favor is not permitted to settle this affair itself
Is 1t not absurd that Austria should be obliged to
accede to the terms which France, or England or
Russia, or all together may dictate in this affair In
which IL alone has the sole right according to oil
moral and customary ideas Of right to determine and
demand the price of peace Is 1t not repugnant TO
common sense for Austria to submit to an interven

necessary submit to II from the powers of whom
10 was vainly demanded ten weeks ago ere its tri-
nmphsnt arms had repellsd and subdued the foe
But such Ia the fate Of the German Powers
and 10 lie richly deserved by their suicidal M
course Of policy Unable, properly to appreciate the
