But, if we have learnt much in this brief
period of our allies, our antagonists, and
ourselves, we have also been furnished with
some light as to the feelings and dispositions
of the remaining powers of Europe. So
long as peace endured, tho policy of England
and France was able to command respect
and adhesion in the Courts of Austria and
Prussia; so long as the contest was ono of
Notes and Protocols tho right and justice of
our eauso secured the signatures of the Ple
nipotentiaries and the unequivocal support
of their Governments ; but the moment we
drew the sword tho case was sensibly alter
ed. The speculative German mind is only
too well accustomed to distinguish between
the practical and theorctrical, between the
understanding and the will. The under
standing of Austria and Prussia admitted,
as weli it might, that in setting limits to tho
aggression of Russia, England and France
were virtually preventing the encroachment
of the Sclavonic upon the German race.—
Prussia could easily feel that without the
support of the Western Po wers she depend
ed entirely on the sufferance of her mighty
neighbor, and Austria could admit that Rus
sia, possessed of Turkey, aud therefore mis
tress of the Danube, the Hellespont, and tiie
Adriatic, and able at any moment to inun
date with her armies tlio plains of Gallieia
and Moravia, would ever hold in her hand
the very existence of the Austrian empire.’
The rest of Germany could not doubt that,
without the protection of these two barrier
States, its petty kingdoms and principalities
would stand in the same relation to thc
Russian empire as our protected Nawabs
and Rajahs do to the government of tho
East Iudia Company: yet Germany stands
by, lethargic and inactive, while the conflict
on which her librty or shivery, her political
annihilation or redemption, her future ca
reer, as a ibcus of human thought and a
land of culture, learning, and refinement,
depend, is fought out by other hands? His
tory has no more humiliating spectacle—sa
tire no fitter subject of invective. From
the for shores of the Western Ocean Eng
land and France come forth to do battle
more for tlie rights of Eastern Europe than
for their own: and the nations who e exist
ence is the real stake of the tremendous
game, stand by with listless apathy, and
think they have dune much if they duly
congratulate us on our victories, and forbear
from lending moral or material support i-> a
