And is IL come TO this-is Russia, Asatic Russia,

civilized States of Europe TO step in between?
The danger is not threatening US alone; who will
cave you, II we fall The Russian confederates
only pass through Germany; their ultimate course
is France. They wish to aInihilate the revolution;
TO suppress all representative institutions, and
France Is the focus of revolutions. Ii Prussia,
forsaken by all, should succumb-f Germany is

its turn. The lilies must be planted on the grave

fact that he is only tolerated Till then and that the
legitimate rulers of Austria and Russia, however
they may dissembe for the present, look down
with ineffabe contempt upon the nephew OF the
Corsican upsiart. England aud Prussia stand in
quite different position to France. They wish
liberty and the representative system secured to
France, and for the rest have NO other desire thas
to see that country, by judicious and conciating
danger the general peace. No better guarantee at
present for the maintenance of peace in France,
than the continuation of the Presidents powers.
Prussia, especially, cannot but since rely wish that
Louis Napoleon may succeed. IL, the other hand,
absolutism prevails in Germany, its next step will
be to overthrow the present French government.
The Austrian ambassador ia Paris already well
comes the legitimiss, the prospective rulers of
France. The President OF the French republic
looks through all these Vaccinations, and per-
fecty agrees about them with his representative at
the codrt of Berlin. Austria is intent upon war
upon war Of Germans against Germans. She has
subjected herself to Russii, and tries to eface
the shame of her servtude in the servitude of all
Germany. Prussia has yielded and yielded Hgain,
Austria, short time ago, would have purchased
with sacrifices, but in vain. To every concession
on the part of Prussia, Austria an swers with fresh
and more insolent demands, which are as mlpy
challenges. Deaf to the wishes of her various
natonaIitles, who all yearn for peace, she forces
the Prussian government from one place Of refuge
TO the other, 10 the very brink Of the precipce-to
that fpoint where even the umid chamois turns
round deuntlessly to brave death and her merciess
persecuors. Prussia stands arrayed in arms; her
famous military organization has stood the test.
The hing OF Prussia needs but stamp HIS foot upon
the ground, and both line and militia, according TO
the best calculation, some 49S, 900 men, are re ady
for battle. The spirit of the people all that can
be desired. IL is no. morbid excited sense of
honor that blszes up in Prussia at this moment, as
is generally believed in foreign countries; it 10 the
strong feeling which pervades the whole country,
that the Prussan government has yielded too much
rather than too tle and that, IL IL comes 10 war,
