rnrss,A uEEAK1xo Up THE orRuAS1c CON-
FEDERATION.
The coming year promises to be 4 uemora-
bic one In this nineteenth century. Every ln-
dication leads rs to expect, II not general,
al all events, widespread political couaa-
grafton on the continent Of Europe; and,
Judging from present Appearances, the frst
and estute PIussiau, Count Bismarck, has just
made move Of exceptional Importance, and
the wise acres In France and England are
scratching their heads mud clenching their
fists fmpotently at this new exemplilcatiou OF
"the wolf and the lamb.' The free city Of
Frankfort-on.lA e.Maine has late1y received a
"note, as diplomatists term 1t, from The In
evitabie Bismarck, complaining Of thc dis
cuEsions which take place from time to time
In that city, and the PEussiau Vi,{er thereon
declares point-bnnk: ave can no longer toll
crate such indulgence to revolutionary ten
dencfes;" adding, ''Thc Austrian representa-.
tive IN Frankfort has ulso been instructed to
Frankfort) to the same effect" Bismarck
concludes us follows: 81 hope that the Ren-
ate of Frankfort will not act IN such a man
ncr as to compel the two great German Pow
rrs to intervene In order to prevent the fur
ther consequences of an indulgence which has
already been .carricd too far" The
despatch IN question Is dated October
9th, whilst that from Austria bears date
two days later-a most important point in d.
plomacy-and is so much more moderate in
tone, that VIC arc forced into the belief that
Austria is rmwl1lingly, playing second fiddle
double the length OF tie Prlssian; and, while
the latter is q short md sharp mennce, the
former Is argumcntat1ve, dIscnrsiEe and some.
what undecided. Our papers, need not say,
n1c unanimously opposed to Prussia, and the
French press, II we may judge from such or
gans as the Shsl<, e., regard the affair IN
,"Thc two notes which have been: addressed
to the Senate of Frankfort by the Govern
ments OF Berlin and Vienna, are q proof of
the audacity Of Count Bismarck and the pass
iyc obedience Of Austria. One Of these COM
municatious, that OF Prussia, l. huuglty, I'm.
perative and menacing; the other 3 con-
!Tfmes proposes to regard Bismarck's note
MS "without a parallel In our time. A more
mpcrious document never issued even
from Berlin" The Frankfort Senate, noways
Aaunted, manfally replies to the Two Powers
but it Is casy to understand that If the confer
lowed to continue, there will soon be shindy
in the vicinity. -,-.,.--
+ This action Of Prussia tends simply to the
disruption Of the Germanic Confederation. It
Is moreover a thorough exempli9catIon Of
Prussian policy; that policy IN fine which
animated Car]ylc's hero, Fritz the ,Great,'
ever since. Bnt the Question sunerycnesS
