But bad Austrian policy been for Buy time sagely directed towards effecting a more complete union between the senttered portions of he dominions, there can be no doubt aber this ruight, ere now, have been effected.
The ideovenience of a disjunct and federal em- pice is not so much felt, whilst the whole country remains in a backward ate, feodally organized, and bound by the tie of loyalty to the common so- vereign. But as wealth and civilization advance, Joyalty, as a sentiment, undergoes considerable evaporation, and new interests and waits arise which militate against union. And if this union be not effected are the several states have acquired liberties and development, too many difficulties and eren dangers stand in the way of its completion.
Prussia had the hardhood to form a commercial lengue, a federal agstem of states, fairly represented in common congress. But within its own limits it has shrunk in terror from any other political union betwixt its provinces, dave that of their obeying the Dae sovereign. States or representatives bodies, with the power of remonstrauce and petition, have been given to each province; but the idea of uni- 1oz the representatives of all to meet in the capital, -from this, the true constitutional union, the King of Prussia has shrunk in dismay.
The King of Denmark bas imitated Prusain, and, following out old local traditions also, hus divided bia kingdom inte four portions, each of which hus jus mtates; the remote ones having no connexion with the capital, except an administrative one.
The consequences of this timid systein of fede ralizing are likely, at no distant time, to be fatal, or at least to be inferious, to the two monarchies. To the two extremities of the Prussian dominions,
on the Rhine and in Posen, as well as Westphalia and "East Prussia, there has arisen an hollity to Teslin and in government, rancorous and danger- cow; since difference of race blends with diversity of interests and opinions.
In Denmark, a weaker government and kingdom the evil shewe iwelf with greater magnitude. The crown of that country is likely to pass to females, some of whom have intermarried with the Imperini family of Russia. On the other hand, the colla- Reral male heir, the Duke of Augustenberg, is a hiperal prince, who hay sat in the states, harangued and voted for the liberty of the press, and made himself populer. In order to favour this liberal pretender, the people of Holstein and Sleewig in- woked their old rights as a male fief, not to descend in the female line, and they have got the most emi- peat lawyers and Unirenly emeriti of Germany to make out a legal case for them. reaner, degatead of keeping bis counsel and resolve, the be apprendemerk very foolishly entered the liste ; and, like Harry the Eighth,
The arrangements for forcing the passage were well devised. On an island oposite the enemy's principal battery, Captain Hotham had placed a masked battery of six Congrevo rocket tubes, with orders not to open fire until the action was 'com- merred by the steamers--
