which forbids the Government from concentrating the
forces of the nation in the North The so-caiied
party of action now urges Rcasoh TO change
his roley altogether, and instead Of aiming al
the annexation of Rome, 10 prepare for wal
against Austria in The SPIiug We dc not know as
vet how such change Of policy would be looked
upou a, Paris, where Ratazzi, the ex-Minister and
Chairman Of the Chamber Of Deputies, is trying 20
learn what are Nzpoleons plans. Should the En-
ercr not be averSe TO war; then Ratazzi will enter
The Ministry; in this respect the position of that
gentleman becomes of general interest," and lis re-
i1m is watched for by the Diplomacy Of al Europe.
Austria again has completely failed 10 secure the
confidence and affection Of her subjects. TIE con-
uitutiona farce enacted last year and still continued
vas too BADLY played not TO destroy even the hope
f a reorganization Of the Empire. Schmerling and
The Germans Of Vienna cannot conceive any other
form Of government for the Austrian monarchy,
beside the centralizng rule Of German bureaucracy,
against Which Yenetia Bohemia, Gslicia, Hungary,
rransylvauia, and Croatia loudly protest. TIE In
,eial Council has yet failed 10 enact any other
aw than the standing orders Of the Houses and one
providing for the salary Of the Councillors OF the
Empire. The responsibility of the Ministers, the
freedom Of the press and Of association, a
aabeas corpus act, and even an act for
securing the members Of the Council and Of the
Diets hom persecution by the police, are still want
ing. Hungary on tie othe- hand, is in position
hardly conceivable. The Diet has declared the I'm
peral officials to be unconstitutional willie the Gov
eminent is agitatng agains; the elected county Off
Gals; thus The principle of authority is weakened
both ways everywhere, and nothing but the practical
common sense Of the nation preserves the country
from anarchy. The military levy, however, which
he counties have declared Illegal and against which
even the Cardinal Primate protests may prove to be
he ast feather which breaks the camels back. The
Vienna Ministers insist upon having It carried in
February, but doubt that the peasants will quietly
submit to it, and Il is most probable that the levy
will become the occasion Of rising Croatia too, II
deeply discontinued, and the of the insur-
gents in the neghboIing Herzegovina against the
Turks commanded by Omar Pasha keeps the popula-
ion of Servis and Of the military frontier in the great
st agitation.
As Poland, all the people are fanaticzed TO de-
gree which seems incredible in orr skeptical age.
All the churches Of Warsaw are closed, and, though
the Russians make use Of the utmost severity they
cannot cow the spirit of the Poles. Troubles al st.
Petersburg, al Kasan az Moscow, disturb the
Russian Empire, and paralyze the Cars forces.
Thus we the germs Of dissolution introduced into
TWO great Empires Of the NORTHEAST, while the
Turks are going from bad to worse.
Germany alone remains quiet. Neither the agita-
lion Of the National Association, nor the Hessian
and Schlegwig question makes Der lose her temper.
Not even the grandiloqueni speeches of King VII
lam ]. of Prussia at his coronation about Lis divine
right, and his dependence exclusively upon God,
from whom he derives his power, excite the Ger
mans. They cannot either laugh or cry at such Ia
inevitable snaehronisns, but only say that of the two
brothers, Frederick William ". and William l., the
.nadman vas not the bigger fool.
The Kilg Of Belgium has acknowledged the King
dom of Irsly. King Leopold struggled hard against
LIS Cal met about that question. lie said be would
not willingly give his sanction 10 principle by
which his con cannot fail to be deprived Of his
crown in favor Of France; but he had to yield at
last. The creature Of revolution, be cannot log
ically protest against revolution.
