their own peculiar phrase, but it is worthy of
note that this adhesion is shared by the ultra
liberals and monarchists alike. and that in
such expression there is no difference of
creed. In South Germany q few papers VEN
ture to debate the propriety of conceding the
whole position of control to Prussia, but not
one that we have seen advocates an alliance
or even a cooperation with France. In
Austria the case is somewhat different.
Nearly all the liberal journals, such as the
P7eSSe, the NcUe F5eie PFeSSe, and the Wan
derer insist upon absolute and unconditional
neutrality, but the aristocratic and milf
tary organs, without exception, favor
France. The official journals, such as the
Gazette and the Abe8d IeituHg. maintain a
cautious reserve, and deny all rumors of secret
treaties and movements of troops and fleets.
The Northeastern Correspondence refers to
the resolutions, urging neutrality which were
passed by the municipal councils of Vienna
and other leading cities of the Austrian en-
pire, and blames what it terms the precipitate
action of Southern Germany in recognizing
the cdSQS fgdeTjS, or federal pact, with Prus-
STA at this time. The Russian press is some
what divided. the quasi official organs con-
filming themselves to a bald o. facts,
vet giving it in such q way as to reveal a
leaning toward Prussia. The journal de st.
P6te1S6Ouqg, however, is quite impartial, but
deplores the idea of war, and very sensibly
points to its accompanying devastations and
perils in the present state of Europe. The
G0l0S, which is considered the mouthpiece of
Russian liberalism, on the other hand, comes
out very decidedly for the French cause, and
intimates that Prussia, in case of success,
might become a dangerous neighbor to the
Muscovite empire. 1.-THE same timeit doesnot
hint at any direct intervention, but says
Even should Austria and Italy interfere in
this war we should not be compelled to follow
their example. The more numerous the
powers involved in it the greater will be the
advantage of neutrality to us. AS proof of
this we may cite the immense profits which
Prussia reaped by remaining neutral during
the Crimean war" The papers of Sweden
and Denmark will one accord, excepting the
official sheets, reveal strong French tendon
cies, and those that favor Scandinavian union
are ''hot i the mouth in that direction. The
Be1liRgSke ISdende of Copenhagen, however.
mingles some discretion with its valor, and
advises caution. Prussia has a long and a
strong arm, and is within easy striking dis
lance.
Italy is checkered all over with various
opinions. At Venice, Verona, and Milan
the press have strong French sympathies, but
prefer neutrality to any demonstration on
either side. The same may be said, in a
modified sense, of Turin, although Napo-
leonic views grow more distinct as we APP
proach the French frontier. AS a specimen
we may quote the Pe1SeGerdaeG of Milan,
which says:-'"The absolute preponderance
of one as of the other of these powers is
hurtful to us; but that of Prussia is, indeed,
far more So" Again, "We must remain
neutral, and should not change our attitude
until the war should become European
by the interference of other pow
ers." However, in view of the trouble at
Rome and the danger which ''the defeat of
France would terribly increase, it advises an
armed neutrality. The humorous papers of
all the Italian cities carioature Napoleon Ill
unsparingly and join the Garibaldian organs
in demanding the occupation of Rome, with
or without French consent. The Malone of
Florence, which is the organ of Victor
Emanuel and his Cabinet, ~strenuously advo-
Gates a careful, watchful armed neutrality,
with increased naval and military prepara-
ton and concentration of resources.
The Spanish press is somewhat indig-
nant, as a general thing, at the dicta-
torial interference of the French Emperor,
but some of the republican organs cry
"Viye Ia FT0nce!' The ISenpO Of Madrid
predicts that the latter will win her verita-
BILE object because it is in the nature of
things, and what is natural always succeeds. "
1t predicts a short and terrible war, to result
in good for Europe. The Belgian and Dutch
journals exhibit great alarm, and are almost
unanimous for strictly neutral precautions;
but where a shade of preference is observable
it is for the French.
The general deduction that the intelligent
reader will draw from this brief and rapid
survey is that France is likely to be isolated
unless at the eleventh hour Italy and, as we
have limited in former articles, Great Britain
come to the rescue; and in that combination
many read the shibboleth of revolution.
