Rsy- TIE News FROM EUROPE, which we
publish in detail this morning, has its point
Of greatest interest in Germany. Elsewhere
events drag slowly forward, but there they
are moving with pregnant rapidity. The
Eleotor Of Hess -Cassel and his Minister,
Hassenphug, after having abandoned their
posts before the legal aud orderly resist
ance of the people and magistraey to their
revolutionary and dospodc measures, have
returned and reGstablished themselves pro-
visionally at Wilhelmsbad, small frontier
town of the Electors dominions, within
hailing distance Of Frankfort, where the
efigy of the old Confederation set up under
the auspices Of Austria, has its seat. On
their way to their new Capital the Prince
and Minister passed through Frankfort, and
took counsel with their Austrian friends,
whose inspirations they have followed
through the whole affair. They are now
in convenient place either to fly if nooos-
sary, or to fight should Austria decide to
push matters to that point
Prussia on its part, to avoid all appear"
ance of interfering in the case, has With
drawn all its troops from near the from
tiers Of the Electorate. For the rest, the
Government at Berlin are pursuing here
the same system of Inactivity and delay
which for the past year has earned them
the contempt of earnest men of all parties
in Germany, while it has added no redeem
ing fact to their unenviable reputation
abroad. There is neither necessity nor an
occasion for armed intervention in Hesse
Cassel; the people are animated by spirit
Of order and legality, which reflects the high
est credit on themselves and on the wisdom
of the Democratic leaders by whom they are
directed; and there is now no force threat
ening to overthrow them But surely it is
not too much to ask that Prussia should
throw its influence upon tho side of the
Constitution and laws which the Eleotor,
egged on by his masters and served by his
tools, has vainly attempted Co destroy. But
Prussia does nothing Of the kind, and the
Constitutional party Of that country are
full of shame and sorrow at the fact.
The real quarrel in the case is between
Absolutism represented by Austria, and
Constitutionalism which the Prussian Gov
eminent falsely claims to stand for. Austria
is bent on restoring Absolutism along with
the old Confederation; Prussia has long
talked and still talks about the establish
ment of o Union Of German States on
liberal Constitutional, principles. The Elec-
tor of Hesse is for the Austrian side, but
his people are unanimous for the Coustitu-
tional Union Here is an additional reason
why Prussia ought to stand by them their
cause and hers are the cause.
But the fact is, as we have alleged on
former occasions, that the railing powers of
Prussia are of bottom as DESTROYS of return
ing to Absolutism as those Of Austria ];
moreover they are under the control of Rus
sia, only they dare not throw off the mask
with the boldness Of the Austrian monarchy
and at the same time they are jealous OF
Austrian predomipanoe in the internal
affairs of Germany. Hence their opposition
to the reestablishment of the Confederation
of1S15; and hence TOO their shillyshally
course in regard 70 every important German
question, this of Electoral Hesse among the
rest.
From all this it seems plain that there
will be no real and serious collision be.
tween the two sides in the present case
Neither Austria nor Prussia wants to fight,
for fear of q general explosion aud of a
third party thas would surely come in to
eat the oyster in dispute. They will only
wage war of protocols and diplomatic
notes, each getting what advantage it can
by means of sharpness of wits and dexter
GUS trickery, but never dreaming Of any
but sham resort to the sharpness ofswords
and the weight of cannon.
As for Hesse, we see but one probable
