THE UNION.
From the New York Evening Post
The conspiracy OF PRINCES.

The following is extract OF letter dated Berlin
May 8 and written by one who has the opportunity Of
observing the circumstances which beay the designs oil
the monarchs OF Europe, accurately almost as any
other American abroadi
"The moment has arrived when the reality of the
year has passed. and the princes have quietly collected
their strength and matured their plans, while the National
great German idea of unity, has BEEN hear talking till
the iron is cold Prussia has positively refused the lmpe
rial Crown aud with IL the new constitution, which would
mediatize all the States erect, centre of Europe
the whole German people into the fees and most power
worked WELL the in the history OF the
world since the fall OF the Roman Empire. But the princes
disposed be exngu hout a struggle, and
before the splendid theory Of the Frankfort philosophers and
patriots be carried into practice, the real revolution
must take place will pretend TO predict the result
but they fighting DRESDEN and Frankfort has recent
y assumed revolutionary tone, which must speedily
bring the German question to issue Hungary has pro
claimed the republic at moment when her example is
likely TO be contagious and you may look for "sps from
these parts before long"
In truth, all the signs OF the times in Europe to
indicate that the moment is at hand when the heads OF
the royal families are to engage In desperate struggle
for the preservation OF their ancient prerogaves What
the event will be- depends upon circumstances which It
is hardly possible at this moment to estimate and define
If the controversy left 10 be settled between the
governments 10 the east and south OF Russia and their
people, should not regard the result doubtful the
popular movement must be triumphant But when Rus
STA nteposes with her immense and well trained armies,
accustomed to blind obedience the struggle the part
OF the people becomes embarrassed with difficulties which,
at first sight, seem to render il almost hopeless Much
Will depend however, on the hIety OF the troops on
whom the princes rely to crush the people Among this
very sodiery all middle and southern Europe, from
the Seine to the Danube, ideas OF personal freedom and
liberal government, often, indeed, crude, and mingled
with much error, but still in utter hostility to the old
forms OF arbitrary rule, have been disseminated, and
taken deep root II is natural TO suppose also that the
pride oil the German will be deeply offended by the
presence OF Russian army interfering in the politics OF
the German empire II, from these causes, the detection
OF the German sodery should be considerable the scale
may be turned against the royal conspraiors.
Among these, though nominally the Chief Magistrate
OF republic, is the President of France 1t is not to be
supposed that such step that which he and his minis
try have just taken of sending army to Italy to sub
vert the popular government of the country and restore
an ecclesiastical dynasty, taken without previous
understanding with the monarchs who wish to bring back
the old order OF things The interference of France in
the affairs OF Rome is manfestly part OF the system
OF suppression of the popular WILL with the interference
OF Russia 10 put down the republic OF Hungary, and
the manifestations made by the King of Prussia of dis
had once consented Ii takes place at the same moment
or but little earlier, and is doubtless intended TO dis
courage the friends of liberty the north, by showing
them how easily the Italian liberals be reduced
submission
The letter of President Bonaparte to Oudinot was, it
of plan adopted with the appreciation of the ministry
The letter itself virtually approved it appears,
by the Minister of War, ChaDgarnier who directed il TO
be placed on the orders OF the day Of every regiment of
the army.
The latest news from Europe shows us the President
in the affairs of Italy condemned by decisive vote. The
next arrival may bring us news of the impeachment of
him, or the most obnoxious of his ministry The inter-
ference OF France to restrain the people their attempts
to establish republican governments, may be Withdrawn
as speedily as was Unexpectedly obtruded.
