Regent, who then, by a telegraphic dispatch, sum
moned also the King of Saxony to the conference.
II need hardly be said, that the Dukes of C0burg
Gotha and Nassau will follow in the track.
Thus, meeting of German princes, originally
purpcrting to mean demonstration against
France has turned into sort of levee held by
Louis Bonaparte, on German soil, and crowded by
the Kings, Grand Dukes and other little potentates
Of the German Confederation. On the part of the
Prince Regent it looks like cOntrton for the sin of
having uttered his suspicious as to the French
usurper's aggressive schemes, and on the part OF
the smaller princely fry DIS precaution taken for
not being sold by their huger conrere to their CON-
mon enemy. The lead in the humiliation of the
crowned heads before the quasimodo of the French
Revolution was VIGOROUSLY taken by Queen Vic
tOra and the King of Sardinia. The Cars per-
sonal interview at Stuttgart with the man Of De-
cember, in 1857, could surprise nobody beyond the
cofee-house politicians, duped by the Ostentatious
cOquetry Of the Petersburg Court with the tenets Of
legitimacy After the battle of SOlferinO, the Haps
burg's Villafranca meeting with his victor was
matter of business, not of courtesy. The Prince
Regent, together with the minor stars clustering
around him. has neither to plead an alliance, like
Victoria and Victor Emanuel, nor a conspiracy,
Ike Alexander H., nor a defeat, like Francis
Joseph; but, leaving the motives aside, he may
plead the general precedent put by his betters. At
all events he has seriously impaired his Fictitious
popularity by the acceptance Of Louis Bonapartes
overture and the more so since the latter, only
| few weeks ago, had the impudence of intimatng,

stadt and Baden, that for the future they ought to
sign their letters to the French Emperor with the
words: 90 Votre frere ct serriteur." Such was,

As to the " important communication which the
Dutch savior of society is about TO impart to the
crowned heads of Germany there is every reason to
believe that, initiating Metterniche's operations on
the successive Congresses of Vienna, AK Ia Chap

gent of the existence of vast conspiracy among the

While the Prince Regent and his German du

turer, but, then, this sequestraton was based on
general suffrage. 1t is in this way, with the aid of
France, and on the same democratic basis, that
TeutOnic Empire under the auspices of HOhenzol-

operation is q very simple one. Prussia has only
to cede part of her Legitimate" possessions to
France and to simultaneously encroach under the
form of an appeal to general suffrage, on the pos

be transformed from ieudal into democratic

the throne by general suffrage. Hence democracy
reiens from the Nemen to the Amoor. Perhaps it
might be retorted by the prophets of the new
democratic principle that the RomanOfs were
freely elected; that no coup dttat preceded the ap

the throne general state of siege failed to keep
the electoral urns within the proper limits of the
democratic principle. At all events, since Louis
Bonaparte cannot afford to become Legitimate"
prince the next best thing he can do is to convert
his brother sovereigns of Italy and Germany into
democratic princes, after the pattern of the Les
