PRUSSIA.
THE NEW MINISTRY,
,<e cfr,s Y Tv<hur~

Herr Won Auersgald, the NIce-fresldent ol tuc
new Cabinet, was, ss stated in a former letter,
the nominal chief of the first regular Ministry OF
the revolutionary epoch. Then his appointment
was considered q symptom OF reaction, just as
now, after lapse of ten years, il Is considered
symptom Of progress. He was the successor of
Camphausen, tie corn merchant, whom the reso-
lufonary tempest had thrown from his counting
house at Cologne to Berlin on the steps of the
Prussian throne. Auersvald's Ministry lasted
from the end OF June To the 7th September, lo4o.
Quite apart from what be might do or leave I'M
done, his mere Dame on the title-page of Cabinet
had significant meaning in the month OF
June, 1-S. Csmphausep, bic predecessor, was
native Of RheDish Prussia; Auerswald,
native Of the province Of East Prussia
the former private merchant the latter pub
lie functionary; the former bourgeois. the latter
q nobe the former wealthy, the latter poor.
Thus il was evident that already at the end Of
June. Is4c, one month only after the days OF
March, the osclatory movement of the Prussian
revolution had turned from the west Ia the east
from the neighbOrhOOd Of France tn the neghbor-
hood of Russia; from simple portals to Manda-
rims; from the middle class TO the nobility; from
the purse to the rank. Save this significance of
Ills name. IL cannot Dr. suu autTshhlu ft-
allied any great significance during the three
months his Cabinet lasted. If YOU ask Prussan
a. TO the character of Auerwald's former Cabinet,
he is Likely to put his iorefnger to his pate, rub it
seriously, in true Hudibras way, and at ost as if
awaking from trance, eyclaim: 'Ah, you mean
Hausemann's Cabinet" Hausemann, indeed. the
Minister Of Finances who had passed from
Canphausen's Cabinet to Auerswad's Cabinet,
was the soul of the latter. SO. TO characterize the
D.. .t af
Hsusemann. The latter, an Aachen merchant,
had resumed his political creed in his apostrophe,
aferward become celebrated, addressed to Prus-
sian royalty on the United Diet in lei7: In
90 monetary matters, there is an end of fine feel
"ing.' On geldsachen hort die gemiithlich-
keit auf.) This sentence, if IT be allowed para
c0mpOntre magnis, was, under the then clrcum-
stances, an equivalent of Sieyes's famous words:
"Le tiers etat est tout" Under Frederick William
ILL.,, at time when nobody, save the licensed fol-
lowers Of Prussian Universities, dared write on
politics. Hausemann published book comparing
Prussia to France strongly leaning to the latter
power, but so cleyerly moderate that it was impos
sibe even for the Prussian censure to put down
his insulting paralelism. At time when joint
stock company was still rdra Gris in
Germany, he had the ambition of becoming
German Hudson and proved perfect adept in
that sort of jobbery which now hourishes in ali
civilized countries and has been converted into a
system, even, by the Credit Mobiiier. AT a time
when bankruptcy was still considered by old
fashioned Germany stain on the fair reputation of
a man, Hsusemann cOntrived to prove that an al
formation of bankruptcies is almost as productive in
the trading line, as an alienation OF crops is IN ag-
ricnliure. The administration of this man, to
which Auerswald lent his name, proceeded from
the erroneous notion that the lew weeks of revOlu
ton had sufficiently shaken the old State pillars,
that dynasty and aristocracy and bureaucracy had
been sufficiently humbled, that the political ascend
eDcy of the middle class conquered forever, aud
that there remained nothing to do but roll back the
ever-surging waves Of the revolution. So success
full proved the Ministry in this work of breaking
the breakers, that itself was broken three months
after ts installation, that they, the liberal sycO-
plants, were most unceremOnOusly kicked out by
the cOurtiers standing behind them, who had used
them as mere catspaws. Auerswad and Hause-
mann cut the sorry figures of impostOrs imposed
upon. Auerswald shared, besides, the, by no means
enyiabe position of being responsible for the Prus
sian foreign policy since be had united in his per-
son the Premiership and the POretsuiHe of Foreign
Affairs. Now, fthe internal policy of the Ministry
was dictated at least by the apparent interests of
the middle class which had taken fright at the pro-
gress of revolution, the foreign policy was exclu-
sivey directed by the Camarilla, and Auerswsld
mere tool in their hands. In June 1850 he
was appointed President of the Province of Rhen-
sh Prussia, to be shortly after removed from that
post BY Herr Won Westphalen, who cleared the
Prussian beaurocracy Of liberals as cody Scotch
noblcman clears his estates OF men. AS member of
the Lower House (Abgeordneten Hsus), Auers-
wald limited himselft to opposition in such diluted
form as to be perceptbe to the eyes of the politi
cal hOme0pathist only Auerswald is one of the
arstocratic representatives of the liberalism of
the province of Eastern Prussia. The elements
Of which this liberalism consists are remembrances
of the wars against Napoleon, and the hopes then
embraced by the more intellectual patriots; some
general IDEAS which K0niesberg, as the center of
Rants philosophy, considers 4 local property al
most; the unity of interests betweea the noble who
grows the corn, and the inhabitants Of the sea
towns which export it, free-trade dOctrnaireism in
various shapes, since the province Of Prussia is no
manufacturing country, but for the greater
part depends on the sale to England of
us agricultural produce. Herr vOn Schleinitz,
the Minister of Foreign Affairs had before, in
Is49, been appointed Foreign Minister, aud, duriog
the short time of his administration, coaesced with
the Gotha party, who if successful, would divide
Germany into two psrts-a Northern one incorpO-
rated with Prussia and a Southern one ncorporat-
ed with Austria. In fact, the absorption OF Germany
by the two great antagonist m0narchies Is the
avowed purpose of the Gothaers If successful IN
the formation of two GermaDies, deadly conflict
would arise, a new thirty years war would be at
hand and the duel between the two antagOnistc
Germanies would at last be stopped by Russa
pocketng the and France pccketing the other.
Herr von BONN, the War Minister l have already
alluded 10 in my former letter. Here / shall
only add that. during his commandership in
the Schleswig- Hosteln war, he shone less
by pursuit of the Danes than of the Democratic
volunteers fighting under the German banner. That
war; as is generally knOwD was one OF the bloody
farces of modern diplomacy. Herr yOn Pat0w, the
Minister Of Finance. was member of the Camp
hansen Cabinet. In the Lower House, be was a
