According to all appearances nothing remains but
the return TO the old Diet This step stood open to
Prussia before without calling her reserves under
arms without the SQuanderlng of millions, and With
out the unvellng Of her weakness. Indeed II would
then have been regarded with sympathy as PruSSa's
offering to the peace of Europe, and the whole oduun
of the restoration would have fallen upon Austria

This miserable policy Is already compelled TO be-
hold an enemy even IN patriotism. Tie sense that 1t
IL without support has already seized the ruling
power II robs Il OF confidence, While among the
people II adds hatred 10 contempt. SplrIiae author
