whole German nation, when it was still perse-
cuted by Prussia. The house of Hapsburg has
the history of centuries, the love OF the people
on its side if 1t is determined to take its old pc.
sltion IN front OF the German nation. But Aus
tria's emperor acknowledges that the choice
must alone be decided by the representatives of
the people, and that the choice must remain free.
The Germ An nation in this answer does not pro-
test for or against any one dynasty, but only for
the independence ofthe German Diet, and against
any, temptation of the post of honor of being the
leader of the German nation. The German ma.
ton only exhorts your Majesty not again to SOW
the seeds OF dissenslon; not to disgrace the hour
in which Berlin is burying its dead who fell
fighting for German freedom and for German
union.

On thevery heels of conflict which filled the
streets OF Berlin with blood, after massacre un-
paaralleled In the history OF Germany which
atenated from King Frederick William, the
hearts OF his own subjects, and filled the rest of
Germany with horror, it seems to us absurd and
even bitter piece OF irony, for him to demand
The whole German nation to place implicit con-
hdence In hum, and TO lntrust to his guidance
the affairs of all the sovereigns of Germ any, who
can only confde in the man whose personal
character sentiments, and acts, OFF, the neces-
sary guaranty for the restoration of public tran
guilty. Has the constitutional law, granted to
Prussia, by the letters patent OF the Sd February
1S47, awakened the sympathes of Germany to
such degree that German princes and States
are to recognize the diet, which is to assemble
at Berlin on the I'd of April, as a model tor
German Parliament? No For approaching
the difference between the royal promises and
their tulhlment, 1t Is sufficient for them to re-
member these Words "Never will a written con-
stitutlon lnterpose between myself and my peo-
pie Frederick the Great, admired by all Ger
many, might aspire to the Germanic imperial
crown, which has remained In the house of Aus
tria for so many centuries. But now that the
nation has to express it's opinion as to the cheicc

at It's head none but prince who enjoys its con-
hdence and its love"
The Cologne Gazette sees in this article the
threat OF rupture between Austria and Prussia.
From the Allgsmeine Z.ituug.l
The king OF Prussia having, unasked, grasped
nv, has committed fault which both he and
Germany will have to rue. He has staked all on
one bold throw, and the numbers must almost be
against him. Will all Germany answer to his
call, and join his Diet at Berlin, consisting of a
patchwork of worn out institutions? Neither
the men of progress nor the reactlonists will or
can obey his bidding, and the confusion Of Ger
many be greater than ever, land the most san
the likely consequences. This step Of the King
of Prussia, like many other events that have
occurred of late, is the consequence of a mis-
taken idea of our actual condition, and can lead
to no good.

since centuries, the sound Of German cannon
will boom on the Baltic. Denmark is equipping
flotia against Kiel, to support the troops which
it purposes marching against SchleswIg. II
| Prussia possessed a navy OF only two hundred

a war.
As it is, we must do our best without them
But the duchies must rise in arms at once, and the
remainder of Germany must adcance to their as
| sistance ,o,thout moments delay. To prosecute
a war, money and arms are requisite. Our first
duty, therefore, is to send large contributions to
Schleswig- Holsteln, and our second to provide
weapons Rendsburg, Hamburg, and Lubbock
can provide heavy a-tilley and firearms. Bate.
ries must be erected Immediately, to command
the entrances of the ports of KEEL and Flensburg.
The large vessels must be made as seIviceable
as possible, and the small craft turned into gun
boats. Germany will make compensation to
the owners.
A war seems inevitable, and we trust to be
able to meet the Danes on the sea on land, the
duchies are sure of the victory; if they set on
foot an army of $4,000, and the rest OF Germany
sends them 10 600 auxliaries, it will suffice to
invade Jutland-the dissolution of the Danish
Kingdom will follow, and the whole of the CHM
continent. But time presses, and it were as well
