BALTIMORE April /, isis.
The political changes that have lately taken
place IN France, the complete and almost peace
able overthrow Of the last Of the BOurbons have
naturally turned the eyes Of statesmen to the con
dtion Of the rest OF Europe. Prussia IS unsettled
different parts OF Germany are ssitated, and Italy
is gradually progressing toward the overthrow Of
Its present temporal rulers. Al this moment It is
most Of all important that our country the center
and fountain OF Liberty, the great eXempar of
freedom and free institutions. should be properly
represented 81 the various Courts OF the old world

institute such useless Offices the just created for
