that of Prussia for the revision of the Federal military organisation upon the basis laid down by the Cabinet of BecUn . From Austria we have an Imperial edict to the effect , that the Jews hi Lower Austria , Bohemia , Moravia , Silesia , Hungary , the Woiwodship , the Banat , Croatia , Selavonia , Transylvania , the _ Coastlands , and Dalmatia , are allowed to ^ possess ¦¦ landed propeity ; , but without being entitled to the privileges and ri-hts enjoyed by Christian , or , rather , non-Jewish , landowners . This is aaother of the promised reforms which were to attract to . the luppwj . tiie love and admiration of his subjects , and enable him by a dash of his pen . to do this and that . ' ¦¦'' ¦ t '
• -... According to reports from Vienna a better understanding has arisen between the courts of Berlin and Vienna . ^ Here , however , the idea is prevalent that Prussia is beginning to feel somewhat uncomfortable at the isolated position she now occupies in Germany . See sees - France nibbling at the Alps ,-and thinks a snap at the lihine is not beyond the range of possibilities ; consequently she woulclhave 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 wronar , politic or impolitic , lier neutrality d » P » g 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 and South are quite 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 they , nationally speaking , hate the most . Prussia now stands alone in Germany , 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 m 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 decreased more than Tour ' ~ 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 lie appears . to be as determined as ever . The other princes . standJby with folded arms , so nothing is left for the people but submission or emigration .
