 It is impossible as yet to forecast the results of the late European war, and it is with great di6idence that we undertake 10 speak even of those consequences which are expected to nls low as matter of course, frou AeIbSss jaas concluded
 The great advantages gained by Prussia and Italy are hailed with joy by the American peo- sple.-0nr zsympalhles.. .eonld-- -haldlEslake. apE other direction in coeaict, ,.l between Prussia, the best educateal and leae set the, free est and most thrifty oftEaropsahs aatiops and the bigoted, aristocratic ana insoient dynasty of the Hapsbur5gsss between q force relying on intelligence and skill hacked bE,a well organ ized militia. and the, most, stoiid of standing armies. relying oh iff ineffei numbers aa Id mschan- ieal discipline, while or.liberal progressive, and anti-papal Italy, fore Gatabaldi anf for Victor EmmauaeI, our 1frie adship;s Has at all times been most enthusiastic. Moreover i've natural ly dislike to see great nation divided into in- significant independent sovereiguties, and th 6 yearning of all Germans for united Germany, and Of |alrItaliaas for a united l1taly,s feel ing which those who fought So long and So hard for united America, are well qualified to understand.
 The Italian King gains more, we suspect, by the annexation of ,yenetia than he gained even by the annexation of the Siciliea. The Italians of the. North are g. far better braser race than the Italians of the South where bgotry and idleness seem to have eaten nearly all the manhood out, of ]. the people. But the kingdom of Italy has gained something more valuable than terrtogy; it has for the first time gained .realindependencera and has nothing to fear from the enmitY of Austria, or from the friendship. of France. ss s3ss IL. 1.s-a.
 Austria seems just now in a Very unpleasant predicameot, but we expect she will survive this. as she has survived still more serious dis asters. Most of the military glory that has been achieved in Europe for 5a century and a quarter has been achieved at, her expenses she has beea constantly fighting and almost as constantly beaten she has made innumerable disgracefal. treaties of peace aadsyet she still holds all the. territory, she governed 9 century ago The sstolidty sof her govern ment seems SO admirably adaptedto the, ,stoli- dity of her people, that we expect no change in her position, except perhaps the semblance of concessionto Hungary.tsv-z3I e.l The emperor of the Frencha has apparently played his part cunningly, but, has gained nothing, Had the war proved 2 long one he would have extended his! boundaries ta.-the Rhine. D As itis, the victory of Prussia was l too sudden and, decisive and her position toe strong, for him to make, the attempt. He loses ] prestige somewhatespeoially as it seems to us 1 in Italy, where fhe will hardly hold Rome much longer for the Pope agalnst the Romans
 In one aspect, however, the success of Pru! sia is not quite So satisfactory. The situation of the King and his Chief Minister, shor time since, strikingly fresembled that of Charles and stranord just before the meetin of thu Long Parliament, Count. Bismark avoided $ revolution by, conquering, first Denmark, and then, Austria, gliding over his. idespotic con duo at home, by his brilliant achievements abroad. Had the chance been given strafford to play a similar part in England, constitu tional liberty wouldv hass1 died t forever two centuries "a a goi But the resemblance may, af ter all, be more apparent than real,s, Bis mark may become liberal from, the necessities of his new position. Hencsa expect nothing but hatred from all the petty German rulers ] whose sovereignty he has usurped, and iron the aristoeracies surrounding them ;s while the German people xills if properly eneourag ed, be- his friends. Even if, however, he lack the st statesmanship to play the great part take, by Cavour, in Italy, the positisn of the Prus sian Liberals would be byns means hopeless The popularity attending military succssss will be but temporary? unless followed by wise domestic administration; and while thsi strength must be largely increased by acces sions from the rest of Germany, Bismark cal gain no additional strength, as mere aristo \ cratic leader, Moreover, q large portion of ar intelligent army; becomes again part'of thu Prussian people, still keenly cconscious of thu 4 strength which made them irrssistible;. j. an' n,thesss days when bayohets think, they ma, prove very dangerous subjects for g despoti sovereign Even the political results. of th' war in Germany may, therefore, be more fla vorable than, at first sight we might uimagin and the present generation may yet be blessed with theisight of "a truly popular represents . tive government in the hest part of the Euro nean Continent. 4 .O osa tsg54
