MOVEMENTS IN
EUROPE.

who ARE anxious to retain as much as possible
Of their waning power and the peoples, woo
are eager to secure complete victory for the
principles Of popular sovereignty and self'Sov-
eroment. is again assuming larger dimensions
and a more threatening aspect.
The King Of Prussia has ventured upon
coup d'f'0t, aud virtually set aside tho Constl-
tuition which he had taken solemn oath to
support The Aristocrats Of the First Cham
ber. who are even moro the instiga.Ors than
Tho accomplices Of this crime against the Con-
s,tu:ion, lad rejected the reductions in the
budget, which had been voted by an immense
majority of the Lower House. Ihen, although
they had no such power, they voted the budget
proposed by the King. In view Of this direct
attack upon the Constitution, the parties IN
tho Lower Uouse--tbc Progresslyes, tho scy-
eral fractions Of the Consii;utionalists, and the
Catholic party (the " Left Center"-united on
Oct. l3, BY vote OF 237 against 3, in the
resolution, that "the resolution vi the House
of Lords was null aud without value, aid the
Royal Government could not derive any right
therefrom." Instead OF paUsng at this una
nm,y OF tho representatives of The people, the
King, on tho same day, dissolved the Cham-
bers, and in his message Announced that
he was "uLder The necessity Of conduct
ing public affairs without recognizing the
conditions imposed by tho Constitution.
roc most violent measures have since been
adopted to suppress popular manifestations.
Newspapers have been daily seized, and editors
prosecuted for articles commenting upon the
Ministry and issued before the prorogaton.
The King himself has received several small
deputations of conservatives, and has assured
them That he is determined to " fnsh bis own
work, the reform OF the army IL is, be says, |
/" his Indispensable mission and firm will to
maintain intact the rights Of the Crown, and
to this a we.organized army is requisite,
and not self-syled national army which
ought, as a Prussian has not blushed to say |
~ stand behind the army" The vote OF the
Lower Chamber is an indication Of the unani-
nous opposition with which the royal resolution |
will meet among the people. The Germans
have always been slow for organizing armed
revolutions; but they have showed themselves
more firm and steady than the French in the
advocacy Of their political principles. The
Prussan peopc, uncertain as TO tho attitude
Of the army in case Of revolution, may again
wait to rise for the yindicaton OF their rights;
but, as the King is altogether withoat party
among tho people. the final issue of tho s,ruS-
gle admits Of no doubt.
The Upper House of Austria is asserting
right very much Stin to that which has been
demanded by the Prussian peers, aud which has
led 10 tho PrussIan coup dt.af The Austrian
aristocrats claim the right to restore TO the
budget items which the representatives. OF the
people had struck out. The Liberal journals
Of Austria warn tue country against yielding
to q demand SO unconstitutional and so danger
ous. The Liberal party, as the last elections
have shosn. is greatly predominant among the
Austrian people, and from wider breach be-
tween the crown and the people, The former
has more 20 fear than the latter.
In tho italian question. Louis Napoleon has
clearly indicated his design to side with the
Pope against the Italian people. 1t isregarded
probable that the King and the Parliament OF
Italy will be called upon 10 abandon by an oili.
cal declaration all CLAIMS 10 Rome. Uniortun-
ately Italy has number OF statesmen, who
will go any length in submissyenees to French
demands; but a larger portion of The people
viii be found in favor OF rather abandoning
the kng than the incorporation OF Rome with
Italy
While thus fuel 10 accumulating for on e1-
tcnsve revolution in Europe, we hear of
sudde1 outbreak in an unexpected quarter
Greece has again risen against the detested
rule Of forcgu.born prince, aud this time. it
seems, with better success than some months
ago. Provisional Government, with mem
bers Of tae most Influential families at ils
head, Las been formed. King Ohio las abdi-
Gated in favor OF bis brother, but the Pro-
visional Government has declared the depos-
tion OF the Bayarian line.
Those who remember tho electric shock
which the French revolution OF lSiS gave TO
all Europe will not consider II improbable
that, powerful impulse onco given. revolu-
tipnary movements may again sweep, with the
speed Of Lightning over all Europe.
