PUBLIC FEELING IN GERMANY.

MUNICH, June ID, 1859
II is said that Lonis Napoleon, 10 calculating bis
chances in the war of italian Independence reck.
oned largely upon rivalry and dissension among
the German States He knew that they owed no
love to Austria that the great mass Of the people
sympathze with the Italians in their long struggle
for an independent national existence aud be had
no reason to expect thst his plans would be ac-
lively opposed by them if he could only make the
world believe that be cherished no secret desi gns
Of conquest and territorial aqgrandizenent To
the surprise Of all Europe, including the Germans
themselves, be finds himself opposed by the whole
moral il luence Of the Federation, and is likely to
see this moral influence backed BY more fofmida-
Bile power in the shape of half million Of soldiers
For the first tims in half century, the Germacs,
throwing aside their petty jealousies, their con-
tempiible chickering's which have made the Fedora
ton the sport f Europe, stand shoulder to shouL
der, awaiting the shock Of battle, and sfordng the
world that spectacle Of "united Germaoy" for
which their poets and their patriots have sung
and sighed so long in vain. 1t was as unexpected
by the Germans as by the rest of Europe, aud the

Chow pleasant It's to see brethren aud friends
",seree," is DOW the burden of all their songs.
Tie entire German nation is animated by one feel
ing, aud that is, hatred and dread of Louis Napo-
leon: and if il rested with the people alone, or
even with the MINOR States OF the Federation, they
would take the field against him Tomorrow. Tue
nation s camOr0us for war, war to the knife, and
the press echoes the feeling Of the people

tween the minor States and Prussia, which, as Eu-
rope an power dbd member of the Federation, has
difficult role tO play. 1t may be interesting to
y"nr rtsdcrs to have the grounds Of t'is diereuce
fairly and distinctly stated. Let the minor States
speak first.
In The first plsce, say the German (and also tue
Pms.iap) newspapers, though we admit as undeni-
able that the Austrian rule i'll Lombariy n opea TO
severe re- preht nsion, aud capable ot many JUS re-
forms. vet we totally dsny the right Of any other
nation to interfere in the domestic arrangements oil
Austria for the purpose OF compelling her u hi"pt
d more liberal system however deslr,oe suoh
change msy be; much less can We Look on win W
difference when under pretext of libera,iog Italy,
Louis Napoleon attempts t. wrest from friendly
mower one of the tair-st Of her possessions. By
force of tres,ies acknowledged BY all Europe ac-
koovl, deed not long sioce BY the very man who
nn@ violates them Ia such bigb-handed manner,
the right of Austria to LOmbardy Is MS lndisPita
bic, in every legal point of view, as the right o
France or England to any OF their respective Colo
pies. Shall a man who Berps his own throne by
the worst tyranny which ever kept people IN so-
iect moral slavery, who sleeps behind bayonets
VITO exies the finest sp rs of his cOuntry to peuti
colonies who gsgs the press, who wdded u p'"eT

tiop that Napoleon uses the Italian question as
mere cover vast designs of conquest, which VIII,

sagacity, he has bsgun with war which not on'y

Denyipg in toto the reasons assigned by the EN-
peror of the French for his intertrrence IN ltilia
