been swept into league which to supercede the fe

had done by IL here that Prince Schwarsenbcrg
put forth amount Of ntrcpidity activity and address
which crowned by the most triumphant results BY
the treaty Of Bregenz he drew closer the ties between
Austria and the southern kingdoms Of Bavaria ard ur
tembcrg he gradually detached saxon from the RUSSIAN
alliance and obtained the neutrality OF Hanover Armed
with this support and relying upon the indsdutabe au

OF Frankfort and while PRUSSIA stu denied It's existence

forced the confines Of her own dominons. With
equal bodness and skill immense masses Of troops

1t is not our intention to deliver panegyric the
character the policy Of Prince Schwarzenberg for
by insensble to the great and striking de-
fcts which accompanied his exercise Of power lie Is
entitled to the praise Of having met extraordinary diff
entities with extraordinary But this success
sten furnished by the overbearing and arrogant temper
Of impatient of rivalry and incapable of moderation
He relied to absurd extent military force the
handspring OF government because in emergency il
had enabled him 10 the empire from anarchy. But
this deluson gave harsh and arbitrary character to
many of his His respect for legal obligations
and public rights proporionaely small and the alb
sue power which he restored to the quite
Esquently abused legitimately exercised. Such a
tatesman may be remembered by his sovereign and his
countrymcn with gratitude but not with love To TO
reign nations and especially to this country the bearing
Of Prince Schwarzenberg babitually dcourteous
he constantly laboring under some disease Of
wounded vanity unsatisned resentment and in these
respects the Emperor of Russia has been heard say that
he the counterpart Of Lord Palmerson For these
reasons however much must deplore the sudden
minaon Of remarkable career neither the empire
which be governed the rest of Europe have much
season to regret him a minister We earnestly hope
that his place may be supplied by statesman not less
vigorous and faithful in the execution Of his policy but
ton The dangers which his arduous duty and his
glory to have ayerted already past and he will best
the Emperor Francis Joseph for the future who shall
most respect the civil rights Of his subjects and most
csssfully cultivate the good will of his allies.
