TIE HoHENzoLLERNs AND THE RKVO.
LUTON

Correspondents from Versailles agree in
declaring that the German chiefs, the six or
seven men who are directing the movements
and determining the policy Of the new mill
tsry power, feel a certain ''uneasiness" at the
arrival of Garibaldi in France. Of course
they as regular soldiers, despise the great
partisan, and even question his right to fight
for Franoe-though he is by law a French
man of the department of Nice, and besrs
regular French commission-and as Conser-
vatives detest the most convinced of Repub-
licans; but still they confess an uneasiness,
and they are right. Garibaldi represents per-
fectly the two grand dangers to which the
Hohenzollerns, by pushing their demands
too Ear, are exposing both the dynasty
and the future of Germany. They
are bringing upon themselves
new and grave evil one which
may yet undo all they have achieved for them
selves-the permanent, sleepless, unquench-
oble hostility of the cosmopolitan revolution;
the deadly enmity of party which, in every
country except England, has means to make
itself felt and feared which is unable to
swerve, though it sometimes suspends its
ultimate object, and which, though feeble to
accomplish anything of itself, brings up
masses of power to the support of every
enemy of its foes. Hitherto the revolution
4 has not been bitter against the Hohenzollerns,
j has regarded them rather as persons useful to
burgs, the Bonapartes, and the Temporal
Power. Once, at least, during recent years
during tho war of 1S66-Red feeling has
been decidedly with Prussia, Sadowa being
regarded as a terrible blow to their deadliest
enemy of all, obscurantist absolutist Austria.
1 Even up to the fall of Sedan, that opinion
4 was not hostile, for the Emperor Napoleon
was felt to be the strongest and most
a immovahle of all barriers to the supre-
! macy of their ideas. From the day
of the ''decheance," however, all was
I changed. Austria is liberalized
l. and ''Darwinian," the Bonapartes in exile,
II the Temporal Power abolished, the Italian
Z Government submissive, and the full volume
4 of the Red hatred has begun to concentrate
itself upon the aggrandized, self-willed force
u believing, aristocratic German monarchy.
T. That hatred is deepened every day by the
! historic sympathy of all true Reds for France,
= the home of the Revolution by the danger of
l. the one capital which has been for two gene
u rations immovably Republican and by the
unwarrantable and unwise insults which the
German chiefs, and more especially Count
Bismarck, daily pour out upon the E'gentle-
men of the pavement" the Select of the
rabble, the ''gang of lawyers, whe are try

to the destruction of the Prussian monarchy
' and system of rule; that the never-ending
i hail of agitations and sarcasms, Instructions,
and diatribes, intrigues, and songs which

u not a lame Nizzard who has declared war
upon the new Emperor, but every Red in
: France, Russia, Italy, Poland, Spain, Swift
zerland, Ireland, and even - though that
y matters little-in Great Britain. Germany
is strong enough to defy all, if it pleases; but

is a potential insurgent. Safe from the
external foe, with new millions of

pride of victory, the Emperor of Germany,
were he wise, would do we'll to shrink from

never loses an opportunity, and never rejects
an ally, which, using now one weapon and
now another-now an assassin like Orsini,
now king like Victor Emanuel, now par
tisan like Garibaldi, and again trooper like
Prim-has within twenty years helped to bat

Chair, the Austrian sway in Italy, and the
Bonaparte dynasty in France, and is even
