Correspondence of the New Orleans crescent.l
PARIS, Sept. 16, 1866.
The ends Of Prussia being obtained, she thinks
it nov needlessito carry the mask any longer, and
proclairas openly and loudly her ideas upon the
rights Of conquered people. The deputies who
were nominated by the Prussian chambers to ex-
anime the Bill On The annexation Of Hanover,
electoral Hesse. the Duchy Of Nassau and the re-
nnblc III Frankfort, have declared in their report
on the subject that title deed to
the possession Of foreign territory and that ITO
strengthen such claims to possession by universal
suffrage would merely be pulling forward o ficti-
/ tious support to prop up a real one" By this It
viii be seen that might Is right in Prussia, and
that since the voice Of the people would only be
appareist they can have no Influence Of their own.
This theory is Bismarck to the backbone, and
shows plainly what will be the policy of the Illus
trious nation To keep the subdaed countries
under every restraint, to check the aspiring i'm
pulse of the people, and to reserve all power Of
| action to the crown and ministers such will be
the landmarks by which Prussia will steer for the
| future. She has already commenced her cam
| paien against the press and no less than seven
teen refractory journals have ceased to exist
| Noindependenee, she cries. and when she comes
/ across an individual having the presumption to
think or act for himself, she puts her eItinguisher
on him in an effectual manner. It snotrare, espe
cialiy in Hanover, to hear of contests, and even
bloody ones, between the newly annexed people
and the Prussian troops, and as for the pamphlets
and fiy sheets against the annexation, they fly
about the country broadcast. But resistance and
demonstrations are useless, for they are always
forcibly checked.
The HanoVerians, in spite of the 10,s00 troops
quartered in their country, neglect no opportu-
nifty Of displaying their attachment to their de-
throned soyereigus. They wear portraits of the
royal family on their persons, and instead of
iewelry, make use of coins bearing King Georges
efigy. Whenever the queen appears in public
she receives an enthusiastic ovation from the
people, but The Prussian troops are always look
ing on, and take good care to throw cold water on
the excited feelings, by the administration of q
few hayonet thrusts. a few days since il was re-
ported that the queen was about to leave Hano-
yer, and the proprietor of a large drapery estab-
lishment announced that he would open public
subscription for tile purpose Of presenting her
with d testimonial Of affection and loyalty.
The shop was invaded by people bring their
mites, and for whole day the crowd kept pour
ing down On the place, literally blocking up the
streets in their eagerness to have a share in the
demonstration. The troops were soon on the
spot and dispersed the crowd without much cere-
mony, and patrol entered the shop and carried
off the subscription list. This is the way that tie
Hanoverans and Prussians agree together. 1t is
impossible to say how long such state of things
will last, tif the eonqueror eventually succeeds
in reducing the conquered into state Of total
submission, it VIII not be without great deaEof
trouble and harsh, restrictive measures.
The English press is nearly unanimous in ex-
pressing the pain that has been caused in England
by the restriction Of this unhappy country, and
one paper, the Sun, declares that Prussia will
feel vengeance for her odious conduct at mo-
ment when she least expects it."
Bismarck is not on bed of roses, for he feels
the serious danger that may still accrue from his
conquests, and fears, more than anything else,
hostility of France.
He has sent emissaries to scour this country in
all directions, to learn whether the irritation
of the people still continues. The numerous re.
ports that have been sent him cannot have had a
very soothing effect upon him. more especially
when he learns that France reforms her military
Organization on the very system Of Prussia. Yes,
Mr.. Bismarck has done wonders with his Gland
weir, and we are goingto have landwehr too.
Mr.. Bismarck can put seven hundred thousand
men in motion in a few days. Well, we shall see
how many we can put into motion too IL is moth

to do and there s every reason to believe that
she viii do it properly. According to the plan
lately laid before the war minister, the ordinary
lconscripton and organization will be maintained
but in case of national war there will be a
| French landwehr.
The first division will consist of men under sc
years Of age, and will go into active service out
of the country. The second will comprise all
lable men over sc and not more than IS years Of
age and viii be kept within the frontiers for home
defense. Thus viii there be an army equal to any
emergency and able to cope with the best and
most powerful of European forces.
In Austria matters do not look promising. The
ministers are resigning one after the other, and Ii
is rumored that these measures are preliminary to
the abdication of the Emperor Francis Joseph
bimself Let IT be hoped that he will not take
such step as that, for although he has been The
victim Of circumstances that he could not control
and faults that he did mot commit, yet, freed from
the trammels Of Ysnetia, he is now in position
to regeuerate his country and lead her To great
ness which would have been impossible before.
