that of Prussia ibr the revision of the Federal ^ unitary organisation upon the basis laid down by the Cabinet of Berlin . .-- . ¦ From Austria we have an Imperial , edict to ^ e ^ . tt jj fe ^ & ^^ b ^^^ -rtrSS a-ass .

pen _ ..-,. T According to reports from Vienna a better understanding > as arisen betwten the courts of Berlin ^ nd Vienna fere however , the idea is prevalent that Prussia is begmningto feel somewhat uncomfortable at the isolated position she no w . occupies m % » See sees France nibbling at the Alps , and thinks a snap attheKhine is not beyond the range of possibilities ; consequently she would have no objection to conciliate Austria and Austria s German allies . But it will be difficult to set herself right again either with princes or people . Whether right or wrong , politic or impolitic , her neutrality during the Italian war , while Germans were being mowed down by rifled and
cannon and maimed and slaughtered by mercenary Zouaves blacks , will not be forgotten for many a long year North aud South are rtuite of one mind upon this matter , as the letter ot Mr . Von Gagebn proves . The Germans as a people detest the Austrian system of Government , and hardly a man would raise his finger in defence of it ; but the defeat of the Austrians they cannot avoid regarding as a national defeat by a nation which of all others tuey , nationally speaking , hate the most . Prussia now stands alone m German y , and if attacked on the Rhine even , it is a question whether she would find Germany united in her support . Prussia has undoubtedly sacrificed her prospects of future power in Germany to
present imaginary profit and security . . No change has occurred in the Hessian Constitution question ; the people seem to have given Up every hope of redress from the Diet , and all the discontented who possess means sufficient are fast leaving the country . Since 1852 the population has decrease !* , move than four per cent :, and this without war or disease . This is a logic , one would think , sufficiently clear and eloquent to induce the Elector to alter his . views upon Government , but he appears to . be as determined as ever . The other princes stand by with folded arms , so nothing is left for the people but submission or emigration .
