III Austria, however, the case Is QUIZ Inherent.
The ftudal system stall exists there's the mobiles are
possessed OF the greater portion of the sell, and
exercise as arbitrary and despotlc power over
the people3 as the old French aristscracy did in
their cay; and should the insurgents be successful,
there can be little doubt but the guillotine will reek
with as many victims as 1t did in France, for the
purpose Of equallzng those social differences and
leyelling those inequalities which, though dis
carded from the rest OF civilized Europe, still
held their footing here, and fourshed up to the
present time, with much vgor and vitality, in
bypone ages. The conflict however, though ter
~ble and protracted, will be tempered by the Ger
man character, and will rot present the hideous
and repulsve features of the French revolution OF
the last century. The Germans are slow to move'
and when aroused, determined and energetic
but they are not so impulsve or reckless as their
neighbors on the other side Of the Rhine. Should
this revolution succeed, there be doubt bur
Prussia, and the other German principallties and
duches, will follow the example, and we should
not be surprised to find the thirty-eight confe-
derated sovere,gnhes Of the centre of Europe me-
tamorphosed one fine morning, into great ro-
public, with constitution and government slml-
lar to our own great model. From their habits of
adapted for such change, and this populous and
extensive country would be stronger and more
powerful than It was before the dissolution of the
| empire at the Battle of Austeritz We cannot,
| however. conceal from ourselves the difficulties
IN the way of achieving such glorious consum
nation The intestine jealousies and divisions
which have so long existed among the States, are
quite sufficient to check any very sangune expec-
tations of this kind, even if Nicholas OF Russia,
with his two hundred thousand Ccssacks, were
not lowering, like angel Of darkness, along the
| frontier, ready to pounce upon and repress every
movement of democratic tendency Should
Russia interfere, France will quickly follow, and
il is not difficult to foresee on whose standard the
French eagle would perch ITSELF or what side would
be worsted in the conflict Whether any of these
things will take place we shall shortly be IN
position to inform readers; but when the oldest
and till now the securest throne of Europe, is
threatened with ruin, one cannot help specializing
upon the probable consequences of such an event.
for 1t must be evident that secondary soveregntes
would then be poweress to resist the onward pro-
gress of democracy; and nothing but the triumph
of one party over the other, the frightful stug.
giles of civil war, could terminate the universal
anarchy that would inevitably ensue.
Hitherto, England has been able to repress the
sympa,hetic ebullitons with which the Cont
mental events were regarded by her people. Her
two hundred thousand special constables over
awed Remington Common, and secured the
peace of the metropolis, on the 10th of April last.
She has succeeded in imprisoning or transporting
every malcontent that gave her any trouble. She
has suppressed public meetings, gagged the press,

all the RIGHTEOUSNESS and tyranny that the most
arbitrary despot ever practised. But we have
only to direct attention to the article which we
insert to-day from the leading English journal, to
show what Is the present and prospective state of
England and to prove to readers that the views
we have gwen, from time to time, Of the condition
Of the English people, were correct and based
upon thorough and intimate acquaintance with
the structure of society, and the defective Institu
tons. of that country. How long have we said
that revolution IN England, if 1t ever take place,
must be similar in Its progress to that Of
1910, and that, In short, it must be financial
and commercial revolution That crisis
is now fast approaching. In consequence OF
the French revolution which took place in
February last, English exports decreased during
the six months, which followed to the extent Of
five millions and halt sterling. What the con-
sequence has been, may be read to-day in the
eremiad of the Times. Should this state of things
cuntinue, and we are irclined to think, the Cpl n
ion of the British board of trade to the contrary
notwithstanding, that they are likely not only to
contInue-but TO become much worse-a revolu-
ton will be forced upon the landed and moneyed
aristocracy, and no shifting or skinning over, OF
robbng- Peter. to-pay-P Paul system, will meet the
emergency. In whatever way the German question
may be viewed, there doubt, difficulty, and dark
ness; but one thing is pretty certain, that 1t will
take long time TO restore the trade and COM
merce of Europe to their former condition, even
should the "confuson worse COMPOUNDED" to
which we have referred, never take place and in
the meantime, English exports must 60 on de-
creasng, even In a still greater ratio. The Times
is quite night in saying that In such an event no
policy but the popular policy will stand" The
Irish destitute may avail themselves Of the spirit
ual consolation of their religion, and lie down
and die behind their bitches; but English starve-
lngs will laugh at such submission, and urged by
the incltement of hungry belly aud an irrell-
gous spirit, will hare food orperish in the attempt
to take it, This Is the 'avalanche" which the
Times dreads and when 1t does come, no one
knows better than that crafty ant cipaor of the flu
ture, that the national anthem will not be "God
save the Queen" but "God save the people,"
