LONDON, Friday, Oct %, 1853.
m. prrss;.o Chambers have met in order TO
declare that Regencyis necessary anu 70 coni-
r,ete ON The part Of the nation the m'esutufe oil
the Prince of Prussia. SO far, everything goes
smootbIy: but there is much curiosity 10 know
;~hot form the Prince will take the oath 10 the
ro,.,,,,;on. whether in straightforward manner,
xtbout apy reservation, or merely in his capacity
Of Regent and, therefore, only for the time Of his
Regency, without precluding his liberty Of action
at the time when be may ascend the throne
~ King by night divine II is really lameDtable
10 zee that such an alternative is held to be
possible, while the Prince is praised by bis
friends for his straightforwardnes. His po-
pularity on account Of the dismissal Of Count West
phalen, the hated Minister of Home Affairs, has
received serious check from the continued
seizures of unpalatable newspaper articles, prac-
tired by Mr.. FlOtwel exactly in his Predecessors
manner. As the present chambers expire within
few DAYS. and the elections are at hsnd, it is not
e.pected that the Prince viii dismiss his Minis
ters, before ascertaining the political character
the new assembly. His Ministry will be
the reverse OF the majority. Should the Deputies
turn out 10 be too independent for the Court then
the Ministry 10 TO be retrograde; but should the
Chambers be willing to become the suoser'ient
tools Of the Prince then the Ministry Will be com
posed Of Liberals Of moderate opinions. In any
case however, the logical necessity Of events will
prove stronger than the narrow views ol the
Prince. Germany has overcome the apathy INTO
which IL bad been thrown by the violent repression
Of the revolution and has awakened once more TO
political life The King Of Bavaria seems not to
have understood this change, and has cooly dis
solved his subservieDt Chambers, only because they
lad elected Vice President who, though fully
conservative, had lately had quarrel with the
Minister'S The natural consequence OF such step
il a political agitation in the southeast of Ger
many In Austria the Concordat begins 10 bear its
fruits in the growing insOlence and cverbearing
Behavior Of the Bishops, unfettend either by the
STATE OF even by the Pope, whom they now begin
10 treat rs 1.-THE first among equals" The lower
clergy are highly dissatisfied with this state of
things and are going into the camp Of the
opposition. The Protestants Of Hungary and
Pennsylvania are Of course oppressed and
not allowed to meet in a General Conven-
tor TO arrange their ecclesiastical affairs.
The dissatisfaction Of the LoDbards and VenetIans
IL sufficiently known; but Mr.. Bird, the correspond
ont Of The London Times formerly i'iead Of one
OF the present Ministers, openly says that the Sia-
vonic population of Bohemia and Gaicia equally
sxasperated, and ready, under certain circum-
stances, to 60 to extremes. The Government,
however, cares little for all these symptoms, well
aware that the activity Of Russia is now so en-
TREY absorbed by the great question Of emanciPa-
lion as 10 make it most desirable for her 10 keep
The peace for few years
The Emperor Alexander is busy with reforms.
Under Lis reign it is longer as dangerous to fer
ret out entertainments AID defalcations as under
Nicholas, who punished the culprits, out did not
protect those who had denounced them. He had
the firm conviction that everybody was robbiog the
State, and therefore only required that it should be
done with some decency, while Alexander believes
he can root out the evil altogether.
Mr.. Bright is to deliver, on the Goth INST, q
great speech at public dinner at Birmingham, de-
veloping his views upon the coming Reform oil
Parliament. 1t is admitted beforehand that his
speech Will be the greatest event OF tle Parlia-
mtntary recess, since all the independent, Liberals
arc gong 10 follow his lead on this question. On
the other hand, we see that the most talented
leaders Of the great landed aristocracy have come,
