enthusiastic propaganda has spread itself all over the country , and is extending even to Denmark and Sweden . The advantages of free labour , free trade , and free settlement over the withering 1 police guardianship system are being discussed in every coftee-house and tavern . The different German Governmentshave always acknowledged the necessity of a reform , if not the abolition of the Guilds , to stem the tide of . emigration to America and other . countries , where men are free to employ their strength and talents when , where , and how they think fit , * but the rulers have hitherto been , and seem still disposed to remain passive spectators of the unequal struggle between the millions of isolated working' men , and the organised and wealthy corporations ; the prinees being half in doubt whether the conservation of the principles of the selfish
tinkers and tailors may not be , in some way or the other , the basis or safeguard of their own Grace of God prerogatives . The introduction , last May , of a sort of free labour and free settlement in Austria has not been without influence upon the rest of Germany . The heavy burthens laid upon Austria by the Italian war have forced the Government to this step , hut it is now too late to be of any immediate benefit , for the people of less favoured countries are deterred from immigrating into the Imperial State by the very cause which led to the abolition of the Guilds and Police system , or rather , I should say , to their modification . Nevertheless , Austria has derived a certain benefit from the change , and this has been enough to advance the objects of the Abolitionists . In Wurtemburg the Government has declared its readiness
to remove all police restrictions and hindrances to the employment of labour and freedom of settlement , but upon the condition that every man belong to some Guild . The Wurtemburg trades-union has , however , declared against all Government interference , examinations of any kind , in handicrafts , and more especially against the retention of the Guilds . In Nassau , with some trifling exceptions , perfect freedom already exists . The Hanse towns , which from their origin one would imagine to be first and foremost in the race of freedom and material progress , are the last and most tyrannically exclusive of all . The City of Bremen has , indeed , lately adopted a silly half measure / which satisfies neither free labour men nor Guild tyrants . Last week the draught of a new trade law was published in the Duchy of Oldenburg . By the Jaw , all persons without dis ^
tinctiori areixee to eniploy their lahour , commerce , maiiufactures , and the handicraft . There is , ' however ; one clause which at present excludes most Germans , while it opens wide the gate to natives of England , France , and the United States . It is to the effect that subjects of foreign States , where subjects of pldenburgh are not permitted freely to trade , must first obtain express permission from the-pldenburg police authbrities . / Tliis condition will only tend to prevent the influx into Oldenburg of German labour and capital , whereas it ought to be the aim of governments to encourage both . But these German pettifogging States cannot be brought to comprehend that the sharpest retaliation upon a rival State would be to absorb all its and althAll things considereclhow
population ; ' we . , - ever , the results obtained this year by the exertions of Dr . Bohmert and his patriotic colleagues of the Politico- economical ¦ ' Association , ' are very satisfactory and encouraging . The National Association , theobject of which is , as I have already ^ p lained , to effect the union of all the States of Germany under a I central government , is threatened with an active persecution by the Confederate princes . It was reported from Baden that the Central States had mooted its suppression to the Regent of Prussia ; who had , however , positively declined to interfere : The Duke of Saxe Cpburg has since written a letter to the King of Wurtemburg , the spokesman of the Central States , in which he declares that so long us the Association confines itself to legal agitation , all attempts at
suppressionwould be unjustifiable . According t 6 a Prussian memoir addressed to the different States of the ZoU Verein , the object of the Prussian expedition to Eastern Asia is to conclude independent treaties with the Governments ^ of Siam , China , and Japan ; The forms and provisions of these treaties are to be in imitation of the treaties concluded by England , France , Russia , and the . United States . As regards the conditions , the chief points are the privileges accorded to ambassadors and the right of appointing consuls . Not to alarm the suspicious Governments of those eastern countries by demanding separate and equal ambassadorial privileges for each of the Zoll Verein States , the nogociatprs are instructed to represent the Zoll "Verein States ns whole , with respect to trade ana customs , and to claim rights and privileges for the States as a single nation . With this object in view , in the draughts of treaties , the ambassadorial privileges arc stipulated for Prussia 6 nly ; but the power of appointing consuls is reserved to all the States , wiftv tho limitation that at every port there phall be but one consul to represent the whole .
The Coast Defences Commission , which during the last month has been engaged in inspecting the Prussian and Meoklenburgh coast from Memelto Stnusund , and from Rostock to Wnrnemunde , Doheran , Wisinar , and other points where a landing- is practicable , lately mado their-appearance . on _ the--bankH . otLthe ^ WeHCiV-WUciicc they ' have proceeded to the Gulf of the Jade , and will terminate their labours at Emdon . The expenses of this tour , although undertaken in the interests of all Germany , are borne ¦ entirely by the Prussian Government . - The Grenzboien of this month publishes the following 1 communication confirmatory of a report I gave in a former letter . The alliance of the three great continental power * , PruHsiu . Russia , and France , secured so overwhelming a preponderance in the counsels of Europe , tliat with bold and resolute agents the fate of Europe would lie in their hands . It is now no longer n secret that Rusnia mnde repeated mid pressing proposal * to Pritesiu for such lin alliance , and
members of the Imperial family were personally active in promoting it at Berlin . Russia demanded free play at Constantinople * . for which Prussia should obtain Germany to the line oi the river Maine , with a population of nearly ten millions ; the Duchies of Sehleswig and Holstein , the two Mecklenburgs , Oldenburg , Saxony , Hanover , Thuringia , the two Hessias , Nassau , and the smaller dukedoms ; the free cities Hamburg , Lubeck , Bremen , and * rankfort . France , on the other hand , to be put in possession of the left bank of the Rhine and Belgium . This scheme , to which , it js said , certain Prussian diplomatists were not averse , was mooted b \ Russia alone , yet it was well understood at Berlin that the Emperor of the French actively promoted it . Not the days of Badent
Baden , says the Grenzhoteii , were eventful tor Germany , buthat hour when the Prince Recent received this alliance proposal from his old ally and kinsman , and replied to it as became the Sovereign of Prussia and Protector of Germany . Not one village of Germany , not a foot of the territory of another German potentate , would he barter , and he was resolved to oppose with the sword any foreign interference in the affairs of Germany . This straightforward and resolute answer had its effect . All intrigues that had been spread to further this triple alliance were rent asunder . France and Russia decided upon postponing their plans against-. the Turkish empire . The last note of Prince Gortschakoft" respecting the situation of the Christians in Turkey was dictated with the twofold object to calm the European cabinets , and to keep alive the agitation among 1 the
Turkish Christians . We are living in expectation of a grand national demonstration against Denmark , ¦ in theSchleswig- and Holstem question . The Hamburg Journals having published a communication from Flensburg to the effect that the Danes intended to assemble in a mass , at Flensburg , and in Angeln , for the purpose of celebrating the tenth anniversary of the battle of Idstedt , the Germans , disputing the Danish claim to the victory , have resolved to get up a counter celebration . An address , signed by Baron A . Von Gazerii and Lieutenant-Colonel Sehlump , in the name of officers and men of the Old Schleswig Holstein Armyr has been issued / calling upon all German patriots Who will take a part in the demonstration , to send in their names and contributions by the 13 th instant . The anniversary of the battle is on the 2 ofh instant . ! For North Germany they * propose Hamburg or Bremen , as the place of meeting . It ' will lie rather difficult to find a meeting place for Middle and South Germany . Possibly Cbburg .
