that in consequence the entire population -were intoxicated with delight . Demonstrations and illuminations have been , got up in the manner well known to the residents in despotically-governed countries ; but according to the accounts' given by commercial travellers and private letters , the people are by no means so satisfied ^ the official organs are endeavouring to make it appear . The sincerity of the Government , and the advantages assumed to be granted by the JDiplom , are rendered the more questionable by the preliminary measures of precaution adopted by the authorities against the journals . Editors were warned to abstain from a discussion or criticism of the new decree , as the deliberations of the Council would be thereby disturbed , and the " public excited by exaggerated
hopes or fears . The JPresse , the JZctst German Post and Austrian Gazette , gave ear to the warning , and informed their readers that circumstances obliged them to withhold their articles upon home affairs . The Wanderer and the Witerland have perhaps disregarded it , and attempted to make known their views upon the changes about to take place , for they were both , confiscated on the 21 st instant . There has been a rather serious disturbance at Pesth , where the mob smashed the illuminated windows , and paraded the town singing- satirical songs . The real cause of this is not quite clear . Pesth is known for its strong Magyar tendencies , and the Diplom has been drawn up under Magyar influence . It is evidently a concession to the Magyars ' , and an effort to conciliate the
Hungarian nation . The extreme Magyars , however , are at present not satisfied . They will have no connection with the Swabians , no Austrian Ministry , no Austrian iteichsrath—nothing but their ancient historical independence . The Sclavonians , Germans , and . ' Italians will doubtless be puzzled to discover what they are to gain by the Diplom—whether it does not take away , as much as it gives . An outsider , and a foreigner , can hardly venture as yet an opinion upon such an important document . It is composed in a style which renders it almost a scaled book to the common reader , and even the educated political classes will have some difficulty in discovering what rights and liberties are granted , confirmed , and acknowledged therein .. The . entire press of the country is busily at work upon
this political puzzle ; but considering the mass af subject-matter it contains , and the extensive preliminary knowledge of the countries to be afiected by it , a sound and reliable criticism is not to be expected at present . It lias excited considerable surprise and suspicion that not a word is said upon the equality of the religious confessions—merely the free exercise of every confession is granted . The fears which were entertained with regard to the meeting at Warsaw , have been in some degree dispelled by the report of the Prussian official journal upon the consultation , held at Coblentz . If the Cabinet . of-Berlin is , as the G-azette maintains , in perfect accord with the English Cabinet upon all pending European questions , it is hoped that the intimate relations existing at the
same time , between Prussia and the two despotic monarchs will not have any bad infiuonce upon the liberal and progressive policy of the Prince Regent . The countenance and support of Prussia are necessary to Austria , arid Austria is zealously striving to obtain them , but it would be rather incomprehensible were Prussia to enter upon a war against France and Sardinia as the ally of Austria for other interests than those of Germany , which are her own . Neither the suppression of revolutionary tendencies , nor the maintenance of legitimacy , nor sentimental sympathy for the king , or rather , it isto be hoped , the late king , of Naples , nor even the annex ing ambition of the King of Sardinia , can afford any pretence to Prussia to risk , as the ally of Austria , her own existence and the independence of Germany . JJor , indeed , does the Prussian seem in any way disposed
to move in support of Austria in Italy . It was rumoured , and believed , two weeks ago , that Prussia as well as llussia had protested against the inarch of the Sardinians into the territory of Naples j and this was . regarded us proof positive that Prussia had surrendered herself to the anti-liberal policy of the two despotic Powers ; that rumour was contradicted , and the note sent by M . Von ScitLEiNiTis to the Sardinian Cabinet published . In that note , which was a great satisfaction to tho Liberals of all Germany , M . SciiL . EiNiTis said : " We are fur from wishing to deny tho plea of the national idoa , i . e ., that tho step taken by Sardinia was justified by tho resolution of tho Italians to unito themselves , for -this idea is a special and openly acknowledged mainspring o our own policy , which has for its objoct in Germany the development of tho national strength , and its concentration by' means of a more effoctivo and powerful organisation . Hut , ' however important tho Prussian
Government in ay contudor tho principle of nationality , yet wo do not view it as a justification in encroaching upon established right * . In our eyoa , tho only way of satisfying * the firnt desires of a nation is by reforms brought about by legal moans and liy respecting tho rights of othovH . According to tho . Sardinian view , " saya M . ScnLKiNiTz , '" oyory consideration must bo oast aside at tho bohost of tho popular will , and wherever public opinion declares in favour of unity or annexation , nothing remains for tho established authorities but unconditional submission under the pressure of thin so-called popular will . Political dootrinos so totally opposed to the fundamental principle of tho law of nations can only be carried out by endangering tho ponce of Italy and tho balance of powor in , Europe . WJith nuoh a doatr ^ no tho with of reform forsaken , and wo ontor the Ing !! road to revolution . ' This is all tho protest that Prussia haw made or will make , though some are disposed , to think that another communication has been made to'the Sardinian Government since that from which the foro »
going 1 is extracted . Tho report , ' howovor , yivou by tho Gazette von 4 oru' thia unlikely , imd wo may rogard tho note of M . Von SciauaiNiTZ na the last view of PvusMia upon the subject . Prussia , of all tho groat continental powors , has the least to fear from resolution j
the hereditary succession will not be effected by the dethronement of despotic Italian sovereigns , as long as the Court deals honestly with the people , and , permits them a tolerable degree of free agency unmolested by feudal privileges ' , in tlie country , and police regulations irithetowiis . Neither the welfare of mankind in general , nor of Prussia and Germany in particular , is affected in an injurious manner by the deposition of the petty tyrants of Italy ; and as for the Popedom , Prussia has less reason than any other nation to trouble herself about its fate . For Austria ,. or rather for the Austrian dynasty , these questions may be of vital importance , but they are questions to be solved by the dynasty itself , and the means at its command . Tf the Hapsbukgs can succeed in gaining over to their side the House of Prussia and Germany , so much the better for the Hapsbukgs , and the worse for Prussia and Germany . to excite
The affairs of the Electorate of Hesse are beginning a little more attention , in consequence of the meeting which lately took place between the Elector and the Prince Regent of Prussia , at the very urgent request of the former , and which meeting appears to have been granted with considerable reluctance by the Prince . Whether it will have any influence upon the course of the constitutional struggle now going on in Hesse remains to be seen . The Hessian Government gives no signs of a disposition to accede to the universal demand of the people upon the subject of the Constitution ; and the Prussian Government is still resolved to support the claims of the Liberal party , that is to say , the whole " of the Hessian people , up to a certain point—that is , as far as they go in unison with the Federal Compact or Bundes Act . Ten long years have the Hessians done . battle for their Constitution against the heaviest odds . They have had some sympathy but no ' assistance from the rest of Germany ; and their success will
be due to themselves alone . The decisive day is now approaching . In afew weeks the two Representative Chambers , whichhave _ been forced upon the land by the despotic Government , will meet . As far as the Upper or Feudal Chamber is concerned , it is hardly to be expected that a sentiment of patriotic duty will overcome their selfishness . The Hessian nobles sold themselves to the time-server HASsEXprLrci , and received their payment in the ¦ restoration of the game laws , or privileges of the chase , which had been formally and legally abolished . The solution of the question hes in the becond Chamber . Although the members have been elected under an electoral law as absurd as it was illegal , yet the great majority are known to have accepted their election only upon thei condition that they should be regarded as supporters of the Constitution ot 18 d ± . All Liberals are curious to see what measures the majority ot the Second Chamber will adopt against the nobles and the Court . It the Constitutional party succeed , and succeed they will , sooner or later , it will be a great victory for the Liberal cause in this country .
