5000 be recalled 10 mind, IT may be Justly
Sonhted whether the Croats Slsvonians, Serbs, and
Walachans will be inclined to share in this Magyar
grievance, and back it by their support. The Vi
emma statesmen in this instance, seem rather to
have played clever trick upon the principle of ma
tionaIity, and turned il to their own account.
But, as for the general Diet of the whole empire
under the name of the Imperial Council, seated at
Vienna and composed of the respective delegates
appointed by the different Diets of Gacia, Hun.
gary, Transylvania, Croatia. Servia, Venetia, and
the German provinces, being placed beyond the pale
of allegiance to the Diet of the German COnedera-
ton, will it not cut asunder the relations
that have hitherto obtained between Ger
man Austria and the German Confederation This
is the great theme now harped upon by Official
Prussian Liberalism, which will never stand in want
of arguments for its pet dea the exclusion of Aus
trian Germany from the German Confederation.
But all this reasoning proceeds from false premises
in clngug TO the letter of Francis JOsephs patent.
While the latter must be considered. on the part OF
the Austrian dynasty, as clever device, IT AFFORDS
TO the various peoples crushed under Hapsourg
sway precious handle for working out their own
destinies and reopening the era OF revolutions.
For the present. the Austrian Constitution VIII nav
done much good in humbliDg the Pharlsean pride OF
the Prussian mock. Liberals, and stripping the no,
henzollern dynasty of the only advantage u couiu
boast over its rival that of carrying on the OLD con-
Germ of the bureaucrat and the soldier under the
more rasnactabIs form OF copstitutloSaIsm.
To Owe Won an insight into the real state of this
much.yaunted, "regenerated Prussia, 1t VIII De
necessary TO recur to the changes that have iatey
taken place in the organization OF tue RUSSIAN
army. You will remember that the Prusslan
Chamber of Deputies, while lacking on the one
side the courage to afiront public opinion by an
open sanction Of the Government proposals for the
reorganization of the army, and lacking on the
other side the courage to make decided slahd
against the martinez leanings OF the Prince Regent,
hit upon the usual expedient OF weakness-a
middle course neither fish nor flesh. 1t refused to
pass the Government plan for the reorganization OF
the army but voted 80, 100000 for putting the
army into state lit TO encounter the dangers APP
1rebended from without. In other words, the
Prussian Deputies voted the ways and means
wanted BY the Government for carrying out ITS
plan. but voted them on false preteXts. Hardly
had the Prussian Parliament been adjourned when
the Ministry, openly breaking through the con-
ditOns on which the grant was obtained, began,
without further ado to Introduce the changes IN the
organization of the army willed by the Prince
Regent ind rejected By the sO-caed representatives
During the recess of the Parliament, the standing
army has been dOuJed being raised from Az req nents
To ~ resiments of the line and regiments of the
guard The permanent annual expenses lor the
military budget have thus, by the supreme VIII OF the
Prince Regent, and in open violation, not only OF
the will of the people but of the vote OF its mock
Representatives been raised by 100 per cent. But
do not fancy the Prince Of HOhenzolern or any OF
his colleagues risks the fate of STAFFORD There
will be some low gruuibing, picked with feryent as
sertioIs Of dyDastc loyalty, and unbounded con-
| fdence in the Cabinet, and this viii be ALL Now,
considering that the old army organization,
founded il was upon merely Cgrlculturai poPuia-
| ton had become an intOlerabe drawback upon
the resources and the productive activity of people
which in the course of time had engaged IN manu-
features il will be easily understood how The army,
! now doubled in numbers, must grind down th5 Desl
energies of the nnasseS, and drain the springs OF
| national wealth. The Prussian army may now boast
! of being the largest in Europe in proportion to
/ population and national resources.
| You know that HOhen7 Ollern ruler, when speak
ing OF himself or when spoken Of by his cabinet and
his officials goes by the name of hrtegSherr that Is
! 10 ,ay ord of War" Now this OF course, does
not mean that Prussian kings and regents lord il
| over the chances of war Their great anxiety to
Keep peace, and their known propensity for being
| tlras6ed in the open field show better. BY that
title of Lord OF War" so dearly cherished by Ho-
heDzoern rulers, it is rather understood that the
true prop of their kingy power must be sought for,
not in the people, but in portion Of the people
separated from the mass opposed to 1T, distinguished
by certuin badges, trained to passive obedience,
drilled into mere instrument of the dynasty which
owns il as its property aud uses 1t according to Its
| caprice a Prussian king would, therefore, rather
abdicate than allow bis army TO swear obedience to
| the Constitution. Hence l0henz0llern ruler, be-
ing the king of his people only as far as he Is the
Lord of War;" in other words, the proprie-
tor of the army, must, before all things, dote
on it, fondle it, hatter it, and feed it
with always increasing morsels of the national
wealth This great aim has heen obtained by tue
new military organization. The number Of officers
has been doubled, and the rspid promotion TO higher
grades in the French, Austrian. and Russian ar
mics. which the Prusssn officers had cast lOnglngly
anxious eyes upon, has been secured to them with
out exposing their lives and limbs to the least haz
ard. Hence there is Just now prevailing, not among
the common soldiers, but among the officers OF the
Prussian army, q vast amount OF enthusiasm for the
Prince Regent and his liberal" Ministers. AT the
same time the aristocrstc fox-hunters, grumbling
at the liberal phrases of the new regime, have
been quite cOncilated by the new occasion afforded
them for fastening their younger sons on the pnrse
of tie country There is one drawback to all this,
even from the dynastic standpoint Prussia has
now concentrated all its available forces into one
standing army. That army once beaten, there will
be no reserve TO fall back upon
