Tfe are free, therefore, in this inquiry, to protest
that, so far as our views extend and the truth is
roncerned, we have no particular leaning to
this or that prevailing cause. Hence, in no
churlish Rnirit, we claim the privilege oi that
impartiality which once rultd the tight between

lairly, indeed, to judge ol the merits ol tins
eiuarrel, it Is thought proper to look back sonic
liny years for the rights of the parties m imme
diate conflict. In contemplation of the radical
changes impend! ne over Kurope, the mind
naturally turns back to the more im
portant stipulations which her masters
devised to safeguard their possessions and
maintain the equilibrium ot their power. To
ussuoic theperlormance of such a task wi'hin

may be said to have consummated the great
ullianee asamst France, and tiuallv resulted in
thp treaties of 1814. extended and ratilied bv the
acts of the Congress of Vienna of the (tn of
June, 1816.
The Defeat of Napoleon.
A Deriod ot six months had scarcely elapsed
after the ratification ot this treaty, when the
territory of France was tapped at all points by
the combined forces ot tue test ot Kurope.
With inadequate means and varying success.
the great Captain of the aire, contend ins foot by
foot, met the assailauts until his wa-tted forces
were driven under the walls of Pans, where, on
the 30th of March, 1814, a battle of unsurpassed
bloodiness closed with the surrender of the
capital.
The Treaty of Foutalncblenu
Betrayed by some of the puppets that he had
set up in royal state, abandoned by the very
men on whose adulations he had placed so blind
a reliance in the great eclipse ot his fortunes,
and after the conservative benate had decreed
the lapse of his authority, and the legislative
body sanctioned the decree he determined at
last to seek peace through a renunciation, for
himself and his heirs, ot the thrones ot f ranee
and Italy. This prouer brought about tne
treaty of Fontainebleau, of tho 11th ot April,
1813, concluded by Metternich, Nesselrode, and
llardenbcrg in the names ol Austria, liu9.sia,
and Prussia, and by Key, McDonald, and Cau
laincourt in Napoleon's behalf.
This State paper involved a decree of forfeiture
rather than a convention of peace. The propo
sition on which it was based had come forward
from the Great Defeated himself, and, consider
ing all the circumstances, the stipulations were
not illiberal in their kind. True, that by tbe
first article iino ilia lacfiryma of the nephew,
the fanatical worshipper ot his memory Napo
leon renounced for himself, his successors and
descendants, as well as for each and every
member of "his dynasty," every right of sov
ereignty and dominion, whether over the French
empire, the kingdom of Italy, or auy territory
whatsoever.
This convention, aud this alone, brought
about by the decree of both Senate and Legisla
tive body, and the consent and applications of
the Emperor, constitutes the particular treaty
ior which the Louis Napoleon can a fiord to ex
press a detestation which finds but a frail sup
port in the authority of facts. The foster-child of
the beneficence of Louis XVI we are writing
not as republicans opposed to Kaiser or King,
bat as summoners ot past events from whos
bounty he derived the means of developing and
arming his immense genius, a favorite son of
the republic, such as it was, to which, not out
of fidelity or love, but out of a far-reaching
ambition, he sacrificed tbe debt of gratitude

uiit'frip(l to retain, wherever thpv mlnhi vo
the title of princes of his family. The land of
Elba, erected into a distinct principality, was
allotted to him for life, in full ownership and
sovereignty. On the books ot the Treasury of
France his name wns credited for an aunual
revenue of $2 000,000 francs. The contracting
parties bound themselves to enforce re9nect for
thelafl and territory of his island home. Oui of
tne possessions wmcn dh surrenaerea mere were

annual revenue of two other millions, assigned
to the princes and princesses of his family.
These were secured in all the property, real and
personal, which they held at the time of for
feiture. The payment of the debts of his
household was provided for by moneys from
the public chest. A large allowance of funds
was even made for distribution among those of
his former retainers whom he might recom
mend for reward. Lastly, and among points of
Jesa importance, we find tbe assignment of a
- sloop-of-war to take him to his last dominion,
with its appropriation to his use, control, and
ownership.
The Treaty of Pari of 1814.
Two months alter came the treaty ot Paris of
the SIKh of JUuy, mi, between Loaut XVI 11 and
his allies.' Peace was doc'laied among the con--trading
powers. France was hemmed within
the limits which she had held on the 1st ot
January, 1702. Her boundaries were rectified,
with the concession, however, of cprtain dis
tricts, so nicely adjnstd that it pnlarced hor
dominions to the extent of some 170,000 square
varus, and her population to the amount of
4.10,000 Inhabitants! The pen which drafted
tbe treaty blotted out the monarchies that, in
less than len years, had grown np under the:
creative handi of the Conqueror, and docked otf
15,3(10,000 souls from the jurisdiction of France
another not untruittnl source of detestation
and tenr-.l In the cqucl of stipulations, Hol
land, with some increase of territory, was
committed to the sovereignty of tho House of
Oianpe. Thix grant was accompanied by a
condition that neither the title nor the sove
reignty should In any ca?e Bttach to any prince
wearing, or call"d to wear, a foreign crown.
By a provision, in which neither Louis XVIII
nor France could now have any jcry material
interest, it was stipulated in vaglie and unde
fined lantrnage that the States of Germany "are
independent and un.ted by a Federal bond."
The independence of Switzerland was pro
claimed, with the understanding that she.
thould continue to manage her concerns undor
her own peculiar system of government. Italy,
outside of the limits of territories claimed by
Austria, and reverting to her authority, was
composed of sovereign States.
Restitution A General Amnesty.
The jiround being thus iorelaid tor a more ex
tended and explicit compnet, the contracting
parties proceeded to stipulate lor a scries o
restitutions, Irom one strnng-banded pillager to

vastness of interests at stake, or the greatness
of the coiifcequencwB involved. In weight of
matter and variety of questions, it was doing
injustice to tbe sessions ot Vienna to compare
them with the deliberations ot Otrccht, or even
with those of Westphalia. Its discussions could
not be contined to the meie mode of checking
any luure, disturbing action ot some single
power, which ambition might tempt to misuse
its preponderance at a neighbor's ex
pense 'aud to his neighbor's detriment.
The convulsions of battle had shaken
Europe to its foundation-seats. Old monarchies
had been sponged out and new ones, with
strange mleis, erected in their steady The Ger
manic constitution, the growth of Dioooy cen
turies and the master-work of European poli
tics, had been 9wcpt away in the war-torrent
that gushed out of the French Revolution. It
was necessary, therelore, to reinstate upon new
grounds the basis on which the equilibrium of
Europe had rested from the days when the first
check was given to the overgrown power of
Charles the Filth, and the tirst wedge driven
into the system ot teudalism, which ultimately
rumbled under the pervading influences of that
revolution. Next in order came the recon
struction of the Prussian monarchy, which had
been dismembered in tbe shock of buttle
between the troops of the fourth coalition and
the lorces of Napoleon's armies. In this ques
tion were interwoven tho destinies of Poland
and of the kincdon of Saxony. The Nether
lands, Switzerland, Bavaria, Italy, and Oeuoa
demanded the nicest deliberations of the Con
gress. A number of topics of secondary import
ance came Betere tne uiemoiaoie Assemoiy, to
which the victims of a quarter ot a century ot
relentless wars came for redress of their wrongs.
The conference ot the plenipotentiaries resulted
in a series of side treaties and specific conven
tions. Of those marked by a general interest,
the essential clauses were alterwards grouped
within the compass of a siuele act and plat ed
under the perpetual perpetual! guarantee of
the whole ot r urope.
Prime
and Statesmen Present.
On the 1st of October. 1814, two months later
than the period assigned by the tieaty of Paris
of tbe 30th ot May ot that year, the Congress
was inaugurated bv the presence ol the Empe
rors ot Russia and Austria; of the Kings of Prus

The first discussions turned on the Prussian,
Polish, and Saxon questions. In the kingdom
of Snxon.y. Prussia found the only possessions
which, rounding off her territories, could secure
to her the source of power that her position
entitled her to wield. She was, however, com
pelled to yield in this leonine distribution of
spoils, and, after much negotiation, signed
the treaty of May 18, 1815, by which she re
tained Cpper and Lower Lusatia, the risht
bank of the Elbe, and some districts in the
Norih. The remnants of Saiony, Dresden, and
liCipsic were alloted to Frederick Augustus,
her King, who, tn consideration of thec grants
to Prussia, escaped the penalty of his attach
ment to Napoleon, and faved his crown. The
destinies of Poland, a much shorter work, were
settled simultaneously with those of Saxony.
The Infamies consummated in 179C, in spite of
Kosciusko's heroic clforts, were reascrtcd by
tbe Congress. The Grand Duchy of Wamaw
was reunited to tbe Russian empire. A portion
of the country, with a population of some
!K!0,i)00 couls, was dismembered and tacked to
Prussia. A portion of Eastern Galllcia, w hich
had been ceded to Russia, was, together with
the territory of Wlellczka, restored to Austria;
while, in the indulgence of a grim joke, the
Congress declared the city of Cracow to boa
lree, neutral, and independent republic.
Sardinia.
A secret article in the Treaty of Paris of May,
1814, had annexed thp territory of Genoa to the
Mates of Sardinia. This question commended
itself to the attention of the Congress In the
opening of us ses-ions: but it was not resolved
until the conclusion of the side treaty of tbe 20th
May, lblii, between the rulers of Sardinia,
France, Austria, England, Prussia, and Russia,
as contracting parties. With this addition, the
boundaiies of fhc kingdom were settled, and
nearly within the limits which it occupied before
the 1st of January, 17S2, and before the trtuEoh
of the republican armiet. under Bonaparte. The
States which had thoretofore constituted the Re
public of Genoa, including tbe island of Capraia,
were merged in the possessions of Sardinia,
(-omening upon its king tne title of Duke ot

Provinces, with wicn closely connected
the destinies of Belgi um, which, in the event of
a ceneral conflict, is .marked out as a future
battle-field for France, UjjS review brings us to
the definition and settlement of the concerns ot
Italy by the Congies!. It haa passed on the
rights of Poland and of Saxony. The recon
struction of Prussia, involving epilations f
territory, had been dtrvced wlt,h a touc,ninK
unanimity of consent. The TEdbc-n
Hanover, Sardinia, and Ketherla?" Jf-K??
rn. . c-.i ? u .u. admitted
the principle that the three brauches of the ,
ot Austria snotiia oe reinstated in tne Italian
possessions, through earlier treaties at the be- I
finning of tbe revolutionary stiuggle in France. I
iere, in connection with the Austro-Italian
phase ot the present war, it may be well to take
a backward step. At a late banqueting, with
the object, perhaps, of warding eff some possi
ble imputation agan st tils administration, lor
failing to foresee what it might have done, Lord
itussell expressed the opinion mat it is out
natural that Austria should resort to arms,
haviup, by a very equivocal treaty in the year
1798, obtained the government of Venetia."'
From the times of Cardinal Wolsey down to
those ot Lord John Russell, so tortuous and
uniair have been the negotiations of England
that, even in our davs, British statesmen can
find traces of their own unfairness and ambigui
ties in the plaiuest records of diplomacy. We
are not aware of the existence of any treaty of
17PH, equivocal or otherwise, that Aastria can
claim as a sanction for her authority over Vene
tia. With a very lair compend, however, of
the collection ot the treaties ot Europe before
us, we find that in consequence ot a succession
ot victories, which carried Bonaparte within a
hundred miles of Vienna, in the night of the
lxth of October, 1797, at the village of Campo-
Foimio, Austria, treating for peace and for her
hereditary possessions, ceded to France Bel
gium, Mentz, and Philipsburg.together with the
Cisalpii.e Republic and Austrian Lombardy.
The agreement divided the States of Venice,
Corfou", Cephulonia. Hagia-Marra, Cherigo,
and the depending islands, together with
Albania, were ceded to France. Istria and Dal
matria, the Adriatic Islands, the city ot Venice,
and the States of the mainland up to the Adige,
the Farraro, and the Po, were allotted to Austria,
so as to settle her dominion from the Gulf of the
Adriatic to the banks of the Po. Than this,
nothiug can be more plain or unequivocal. Tbe
Congress, theielore, actinsr upon the protocol,
assigned to me eiaest orancn oi tne riousc ot
Austria tbe ancient State of Venice, which, in
exchange lor the Netherlands, had been ceded
to her by the treaty of Campo-Formlo.
The Return of Kapoleon front EUba.
As to tbe rest of Italy proper, tbe pretensions
ot Spain to the Duchy of Parma aud those of
Murat, rigorously sustained by Austria in claim
ing his kingdom of Naples the price of his
treachery greatly disturbed the conferences ot
the Congress which had them in hand, when
the intelligence of Napoleon's escape and of his
landing at tne guii oi man on tbe hrtot March,
lsl5, swallowed up every minor interest in the
means of averting the battle-storm howling
about their half completed fabric of arrange
ments. The claims of bpain and Naples wre
unceremoniously thrust aside to make way for
their lamous declaration of the powers of the
13th of March, 1815, which, proclaiming Napo
leon an invettrat disturber of the peacp of
nations, and a civil and social outlaw, held to
public retribution, pledged the contracting

In the closing act, the 'Confederate
States solemnly bound themselves under
no pretext to wage war against' any
of the member; not to refer their dif

mit them to the deliberations and decisions of
the Diet created September, 1815, which, laving
down tbe organic law of the Confederation,
established the rules which were to control
their interior, military, and exterior relations
and concerns. The special duty was aliened
to the Diet to apply every mediation, or, failing
these, to solve the matters by a final judement.
The cas of Austria conies strictly under the
provisions of the act of Confederation, and no
one will attempt to deny that her action for
weal or woe to herself, for the destines ot Ger
many, for tae quit of Europe, and tor the re
sponsibilities of Prussia was grounded upon
what should have been a suggestion, at least, if
not a judgment of the Diet.
The Merman Confederation.
It is scarcely necessary more pointedly to
refer to the force and the tendencies oi a
compact with which everv in'ellieent reader Is
conversant. To any one of them familiar with
the duplicities which, at the time, characterized
either the relations of States or the relations
of individuals, it Is needless to say that no more
pertect treatise of hypocrisies, falsehoods, and
lies could be written than that condensed from
the compacts and treaties concluded on the Otii
of June. 1815. Intended, so far as the "Em
pire" of Germany is concerned, to be "a per
petual Confederation of all her States," and
framed ns a bulwark aeainst domestic feuds
and foreign encroachments, they contained
elements of dissolution, not foreseen,
perhaps by some of the fraroers, which
the ambition ot any cne of the more power
ful parties might work up into uticr ruin of
every euarantee. They committed the error,
perhups an intentloned error in th previsions
of some shrewder diplomat, of bringing here
the secondary Stutes, and there the still weaker
ones, within contact of naturally repugnant in
terests. Hence there has not been one of tbe
last fifty j ears in which tiie strong-handed have
not been peculiarly intrigninsr and watehing,
not how to hold on to their Punic faith and
maintain the hybrid compacts; but how, on the
contrary, to throw dust In the ejes of the
world and pervert its stipulations and guaran
tees to tbe detriment and ruin of their unfortu
nately impotent and imbecile associates. If a
plot against the liberties of nationalities and
populations which, in the scrutinies of God,
are bound, sooner or later, to be free,
it was au ingenious device of uncontrolled
despots, exulting in the idea that they had
overthrown the most formidable, because tho
most intelligent, the most heroic, and the most
generous despot of them all. It an error, it
was a most stupidly fiuitlul error, working to
the hopes and ends of despotism, in reducintr,
to tbe authority of two overshadowing sove
reignties, the puny and fragmentary resistance
of twenty petty principalities and dukedoms.
It was an illustiation, so for as the superior
powers were concerned, of the thrifty wisdom
that would put the kite to watch the dove-cote
and the wolf the sheep-fold. Of the value of
such a promise neither Austria nor Prussia
could be unaware.
The Career of Prussia.
Of the two, however, Prussia must have been,
as she really was, the move ardent in the career
of encroachment, She was fully conscious of
the inroads which the popular mind, in the
revolution of 1848, had made into the heart of
her power. The Diet, on which she could
heretofore rely, though crippled by the grasp of
her power, was still a thorn in her side, and an
obstacle in her way. For the last eighteen years
she bad been sedulously working to bring her
people lo the v holesome restraints of that des
potic Dowcr Her own iniquities, wonderfully
helped b7 lne equa".Y grasping ambition ot
' ' 44 II nin.n niAniJanl'iilln . L. 1
Austria, ana s.'1 wvv- nvuncuuiij suuMu-vru
by the mad experiments of a successful polittcal
mountebank, seem, bj the triumph of her aims,
to have put her in a fair" way of regaining the
elements of absolute power which, shred by
shied, were fast passing away irom ner;
aud, under tbe pressure ot victorious
armies, which, eveu at the risk of
bankruptcy she keeps in the field, to give her
the promise of riveting back upon the people
or Germany tue yoice wnicn Austria uau laieiy
kept rather loosely fastened on their necks.
The French, who will. Irom every indication,
have a word to say in this matter and that, it
may be in the principle of the fellow-feeling
which begets kindness, have a very pregnant
adage in point otes-loi de la, que je my mette
pet out of the way and let me come in, the
vigorous Anglo-Saxon rendering of this piece
of popular wisdom. Prussia, no doubt, after
filty years of trials and expectations, thinks
that Austria should "get out of the way"
that she has been long enough sucking the
substance of the people- of Germany and she
has therefore reached the conclusion that it is
her turn to "come in" and indulge in that par
ticularly pleasant process of suction which
feeds fat Kaisars and Kings and aristocrats at
the expense of the very life-blood of the people.
