At last the German papers and the German govern
ments have to the conclusion that the States or
Germany and especially Prussia have committed great
blunder in remaining entirely inactive walters Prov
dence during the present They to be astonsh
ed at the resolution Of the Western Powers carry the
and to bring 1t to successful conclusion without
much communicating with the Germanic Con
federation the subject. With truth say the Aus
TRAN official organs the continuance of the war is
to be ascrbed to the drowy lazy habits of the Germans
and to the ndspositon incapacity of their govern
ments to establish themselves European power. Had
Germany, at the of the war thrown her
weight the side Of the Western Powers-had Prussia
established army in the Grand Duchy OF Posen when
Austria established the frontiers of Galica Rus
sia would have yielded the four points demanded by the
Allies would have been conceded and Russia would still
be in the quiet possession of the Cmea and the Pom
tire feet 1t is now very evident that the Western
Powers, emboldened with their success will not be salts
fed with the four points, and it is equally certain that
France and England will have private understanding as
to what they shall consider acceptable proposition of
peace. Neither Austria Prussia nor all the German
States combined will be asked as to the future plans Of
operation tina. while Germany like every other Euro
pean power cannot escape the consequences the war;
she has neither the power of stopping it giving it
a direction favorable to her interests.
Austria now says the Germanic Confederation Is
obsolete institution only serving to weaken the political
influence of Germany but utterly incapable Of defending
against her external internal foes The power and
influence Of Austria weakens that of Prussia and rice
rersd while the minor States of Germany only clog
the action of both Had Prussia sided with Austria
only far to express her dissent from the preensions
of Russia the war, after its commencement would
have terminated Nay, it would terminate but for
the inertia of Prussia. Austria therefore willing
mand remcdelng Of the constitution of the Germauic
Confederation and to promote and advocate any such
demand made by more of the inferior States
This is surely thrown out as feeler, to ascertain
whether, in the event Of war, she may on the
active sympathy Of the minor German States, or as
means of intimidang Prussia, who is actively engaged
in opposing by every possible MEANS proposition
Of Austria likely to result in the advancement and
solicitation of that power 1t is however, certain that
the period for eecting change in the Germanic Con-
federation has not yet arrived and that Austria will
prevail with her proposition at the Diet. Austria will
gain material point by making the pro-
position: she will satisfy the Western Powers-France
Fngland-that she has all she could fur
ther their that without securing the corporation
OF Germany she cannot do than she has done to
show her good faith to the Allies and that to further
would even be to endanger their success.
1t is certain that, Tar public opinion Is concerned
the friends of Russia Germany blame the conduct
and present position Of Austria while they entirely APP
prove of that of Prussia and that in this respect the
demarkaton is go distinct as to admit of classification
In the nobility throughout Germany from the ruling
princes down the humbes sprg of the note embodied

of Prussas hostility to the Gar has very much abated

ton Of the property interests Of Germany shsre this
Russian feeling because their conservative Instincts look
TO and manufactures as the means of giving
value TO property. Russia has only recently throw
open certain provinces of her vast empire to the exchange
OF commodities with Germany-the Russian Graen spsrre
CLOSING Of her frontiers to the goods Of foreign
tries) and tyranncal custom house laws being the
principal cause Of the hostile feeling towards her

the commerce OF the Ievant and the Adriatic To sum
up-the people of Germany, the immense majority OF

and they afraid of their people and the chances
Germany has, indeed, been garrisoned by Russian
dipomatists ever since Peter the Great Not German

fact counsellor OF legation Russian spy has not

accredited-not single persons but drovesand every
where they spend their money with open hands, marry
into the most respectable families, and entertain with
true Russian hospitality. Take for instance the poor

Of the German houses Russia has relations Of

Empress Of Russia sister Of the King Of Prussia and
Bavaria is colateray connected with Russia through the
Duke Of Ieuchtenberg. II the Grand Duchess Olga Is
not now Queen Of Bavaria IL is simply because the pre-
sent King Macmillan I'LL away from her sixteen years

such relations in Germany IT impossible for Russia

succor from Russia rather than granting it support
The Russian party in Germany has idea Of conquest

should their situation demand such n movement as

There Is yet another view which must express the
subject, and which think OF sufficient Importance at
this period The middle classes of Germany by which
