Austria would not pause nor rest unti II had driven
Prussia from the fororn hope Of supremacy and the

" Provisional Interim" or temporary Federal Admin

sent Of the other German Governments, handed over
the powers he had derived from the German National
Assembly.
But how could the other Governments, and espe
ciallv the middle States. be satisfied with this equal
dualism Of Austria and Prussia which seemed to an

mery ignored middle States, against the illusion that
seemed to suppose them really ready TO lose their IN
dependent existence in Austria and Prussia.
Since the Isl May, 1850, nothing has been achieved
and Germany has been really without any supreme
Federal authority. The miserable farce the Erfur
Parliament, that stbom bastard brother OF the
Frankfort Assembly, may well omit as well as the
meeting Of Union Cock-sparrows at Berlin, and The
diplomatic Congress of Austria and the middle States
at Frankfort The only important point is the fact
that Austria, with the kingdoms OF Hanover, SaIony
Wuremburg and Bavaria, the two HeSseS, with Den

Luxemburg and Llmburg, and with Hesse- liomourg,
