T OverthrwWwf the fSerosaate CwafoderntUa la l6r-PolH!efU Illetery mf Uhmit B arise the Fear rrevlea Yean. The last London Athenttum contains an iceedinglj interesting review of a work just Jnblifihed by Kir Alexander Malet, entitled The Overthrow of the Germanio Confedera lion bj Trued in 1866." We quote it en. lire: The appearance of this work is exceedingly trell-timed. At the present moment, the his tory of the war of 1866 between Prussia and Austria is interesting in the highest degree, both as laying bare the policy of Prussia, and discovering the means by which that policy can be carried oat. The political history of Germany daring the years 1862-1866 is the theme of Sir Alexander Malet, late her Ma jesty's Envoy Extraordinary to the Diet at Frankfort; and he also furnishes valuable military information with regard to that part of the war of 1866 in Northern and Western Germany, and devotes chapter to the military growth of Prussia. Sir Alexander Malet commences with a brief sketch of the Constitution the Diet of the Germanic Confederation. This chapter, however, would be more appreciated by the antiquarian than the general reading public, and does not call for particular notioe. The history also of the spoliation of Denmark, which follows, is in a certain sense a thing of the past a regretted, but an aocepted, accomplished, and irrevocable fact. The chapters, however, devoted to this subject are interesting both on aocount of the singularly excellent opportunities possessed by the author for becoming acquainted and forming an opinion of the facts, and also on account of the part played by our own Gov ernment, and because it was the first aot of the drama which culminated only a few weeks ago in the virtual union of all Germany. It is only fair to Sir Alexander Malet to give the following extract from his preface: "Time has already revealed many mysteries Inex plicable at the period in which the events occurred, and relieved roe from the duty or silence on dream stances of which at the time I gained knowledge only from my oflleial position." The Schleswig-Holstein question was stated by Lord Palmerston to have been one which was thoroughly understood by himself and another person who at the time of its com plete development was dead. We shall not seek, therefore, to analyze the matter, and shall content ourselves with pointing out the dishonesty of the German powers, the ques tionable conduct of the Emperor Napoleon, and the feeble misleading policy of Earl Rus sell. Count Bismarck embraced the opportunity afforded by the dispute with Denmark to lay the foundation of Prussian supremacy in Germany, and made use of the terror enter tained by Austria of a democratic movement to render her an unconscious accomplice in Prussian aggrandizement. The feelings which actuated Count Bismarck are plainly, forcibly, and, we believe, correctly stated by the author: "M. de Bismarck's whole soul glowed with the f asBionate resolve to expel Austria from Germany, t was not in his character to hesitate as to means ; and neither moral nor material obstacles diverted him from his object. In fact, he entered on the contest unincumbered by scruples of any kind. To raise Prussia to the political status which he thought that his country ought to hold, was his re ligion. He entered the path of action with the fer vor of a Mohammed enforcing a novel faith, and, like Mohammed, he succeeded." The first step towards carrying out his ob ject was an association with Austria in regard to the Schleswig-Holstein affair; Austria being simply used to assist in drawing oat of the fire chestnuts of which she was destined never to have a share. The co-operation of Austria having been secured, the next step was to make a cloak of the Diet to the high handed proceedings contemplated; the Diet itself being afterwards cast on one side as a useless and cumbersome garment. The matter, as regarded Schleswig at least, partook of an international nature, though it suited the Germans to deny this obvious fact. ' It was necessary, therefore, to prevent the intervention of France, bound not only by the treaty of London, in 1852, to guarantee the integrity of Denmark, but also by the memory of past friendship and great sacri fices, to prevent the spoliation of her stead fast ally. Sir Alexander Malet explains the refusal of France to interfere, and this explanation, though founded only on surmise, is probable enough when read by the light of subsequent events. Even the surmises, moreover, of one in Sir A. Malet's position, and possessing special means of in formation and peculiar opportunities for drawing just inferences, are worthy of con sideration. The explanation is given in the following passage: ''There exists, however, a very general persuasion that M. de Bismarck has already found means to In fluence the Imperial mind. It has been surmised that bis own schemes of aggrandizement for Prus sia, at the expense both of Denmark and of Ger many, had been more than hinted at, and that visions of possible territorial advantages to accrue to Prance may have been held out to the Emperor, and entertained by him, In case Prussia was left free to pursue her own course without interruption. To reasons sucu as these, it is Imagined, may In great measure be ascribed the quiescent attitude taken by the Imperial Government In this ques tion." The official utterances of the Emperor, through his ambassador in London, offer the following justification of his conduct: 'The Emperor has always been disposed to pay great regard to the feelings and aspirations of na tionalities. It Is not to be denied that the national feeliogs and aspirations of Germany tend to a closer connection with the Germans of Holstein and of fschleswlg. The Emperor would feel repugnance to any course which should bind him to oppose la arms the wishes of Germany. It may be comparatively easy for England to carry on a war which can never go beyond maritime operations of blockade and cap ture ol ships. Bellies wig and Kngland are far apart from each other. But the soli of Germany tonches the soil of France, and a war between France and Oermany would be one of the most burdensome aud one of the most hazardous In which the French Em pire could engage." This passage must possess a mournful sig nificance for the French at the present mo ment. The insincerity and dishonesty of the German sovereigns for they must all share the guilt, though by a fitting retribution they shared none of the profits, of the spo liation of Denmark are clearly indioated in the pages of the work before us. By means of the opening given by Ilolstein, they de termined and oontrived to bring Schleswig within the scope of their operations. It must, however, be admitted that the impulse given to interference in the matter of Schleswig came from below was demo cratic and at the same time sentimental in its nature; and it was difficult for the princes of Germany to resist, without risk to their thrones. ' Considering the astuteues of t he politicians engaged in the disgraceful busi ness, it is evident that it is to their eouduot, rather than to their words or doeuoiens, tlit we must look for evidence cf their dishonesty. The following passages are nevertheless inte resting and deserving of attention. Extrtut from a letter from the British Au).ss . Ijr ar. Vienna to Earl Russell, giving an a-jj iu of an interview with Count Kechberg, the Aus trian Premier: . "nn Excellency is as unwilling as ever to admit that the Interest of Schleswig ar dis'ounei ted from those of Hulstelo, and coueeueuriy of Oer n7jau4 he vviaudeis Wut, as uiey have been fntitd np together for so long past, tt Is Impossible for Germany to abaadon Its tight to interfere." Extract from the British Ambassador at Vienna to Earl Rnssell, giving an aoooaut of a subsequent interview with Count Kechberg: : That as to Sohleswlg or Jutland, there was no thought of entering either country." i From the beginning Earl Russell endea vored to separate the questions of Sohleswig and Ilolstein; the right of the Diet to aot as it thought fit with regard to the latter Duchy he frankly acknowledged. The Schleswig question he, however, firmly asserted was one of an international nature, and should be dealt with in concert with the signatories of the treaty of London. lie for a long time strove to procure the assent of Germany to mediation, but received in return the most insulting neglect of his representations, and a contemptuous indifference, which has gone far to lower the influence of British diplo macy on the Continent. It is true that he was not, save in one instance, treated with verbal discourtesy, but in substance the re plies he received were "This is no conoern of yours; mind your own business." "Sir A. Malet writes to Earl Russell from Frankfort: "The tension of the public mind Is very great, and I am bound to Bay that there U a wonderful Indiffer ence to our rcpresenttl'n, while they are at the same time resented at iuter'ering with a cherished project. There is an absolute persuasion that Eng land will not interfere materially, and our counsels, regarded as unfriendly, have no weight." On one occasion Sir A. Malet was actually told by the Bavarian envoy to the Diet that he looked on Lord Russell's despatches as so much waste-paper an expression for which Sir A. Malet, however, required and obtained an ample apology. The Bavarian Minister was, however, correct in his description of Earl Russell's representations and threats. Finding that mediation was unavailing, Earl Russell betook himself to threats. Memo randum presented by Sir A. Buchanan to Count Bismarck, November 24, 1863: 'Should Federal troops enter Ilolstein on purely Federal grounds, her Majesty's Government wonld not Interfere; but should it appear that Federal troops had entered the Duehy on International grounds, her Majesty's Government may be obliged to Interfere." Again, see Earl Ilussell to Sir A. Buohanao, Dec. 25, 1863: "Any precipitate action on the part of the German Confederation at the present moment may lead to consequences fatal to the peace of Europe, and may Involve Germany, in particular, In difficulties of a most serious nature." The following extracts from Earl Russell's correspondence with the British Ambassador at Paris, under date Jan. 24, 1864, are worthy of notice: "Her Majesty's Government seek for the concert and co-operation of France, Russia, and Sweden, in order to give, if necessary, material assistance to Denmark lu the resistance of such dismember ment." "I answered that I alluded to material support, but that I would define the CAse in which such a support should be given In a despatch which I had prepared for the cabinet, to be afterwards sub mitted for the sanction of the Queen." Finding that the threats of England were looked upon as so much bruiumf ulmen Earl Russell took lower ground, and made the grant of any material assistance to Denmark to depend on the concurrence of France and Russia. These powers, however, refused that concurrence, and Earl Russell's warlike inten tions oozed out of his fingers' ends like "Bob Acres' " cournge. England had, nevertheless, as is spparent from the Danish Ambassador's despatch, dated February 11, 1864, promised unconditional aid if Schleswig were at tacked: "Recently, too, the Cabinet of London gave It to be understood at Frankfort that. In the case ef an attack of Schleswig, Denmark would not be left alone in the contest." Schleswig was attacked and England made no sign. The history of the operations in Western and Northern Germany in 1866 is olearly told, and forms an interesting supplement to Cap tain Hozier's history of the war. Sir A. Malet was living at the time at the scene of action was personally acquainted with many of the actors in the campaign and, though a civilian, shows in general considerable talent for describing and analyzing military operations. For the political manoeuvres which pre ceded the outbreak of war, and the conduct of Count Bismarok toward his inoffensive neighbors, we refer the reader to the book itself. As to the campaign, it was a strong illustration of the inefficiency of the Federal military organization. Other causes, however, equally contributed to the failure. Speaking of the troops acting under orders of the Diet, Sir A. Malet says: "When the Diet's decision, of June 14, called these troops into Immediate activity, the faultinessof Federal military arrangements became instantly ap parent, and It was manifest that a much longer term wonld be required to prepare the several contin gents to take the field In such an efficient state of preparation as modern warfare demands. The assembling and training of horses, especially, was very Imperfectly accomplished, and the cavalry, artillery, and train were accordingly Ul provided, and their efficiency proportionately Imperfect." The force was divided into two armies; one under Prince Alexander of Hesse, the other, consisting entirely of Bavarians, under the command of Prince Charles of Bavaria. The chief command of both armies was also vested in the latter Prince. The choice of a commander-in-chief was unfortunate. Prinoe Charles was old, slow, obstinate, and of no experience in modern warfare. The result was, that though far superior in numbers, Jhe was everywhere worsted by the inferior Prus sian forces. By his neglecting to send aid to Hanover, moreover, he contributed in great measure to the surrender of the gallant con tingent which that kingdom had placed in the field. Another cause of Prussian success was the treachery or incapacity of Prince William of Baden, who commanded the Baden division of the army of the Diet. At the commencement of the campaign he retired from Giessen without orders, thereby uncovering the left of Prince Alexander's army and the City of Frankfort; later on, in the actions on the Tauber, he withdrew without orders, after a merely formal resistance, thereby causing the retreat of the army from the line of that river. Lastly, the next day he, without any cause, declined to support a Bavarian division which sent urgent demands for assistance to him. The theory of treachery is strongly supported by a very significant passage in the book under review: "The humbled Southern States of Germany, with the exception of Buden, addressed themselves to France, us a mediator between them and the con quering power. Baden has trood grounds for reli- ance ou tue family ties existiug between the house ui jjuneu.ouern aim ine urauu-uucal family, aud for believing that their Slate would be leniently treated." The staff of the Confederate army does not appear to great advantage in the history of ! the present campaign. For this apparently the two chief generals are not responaibla. j As well as o'her defects, it must be attributed to the vicious system of Federal military or- j paiiizfction. Pritice Alexacdtr of Ilesse, in a puliibbd journal of the oaaopiigo, -kiaUs with what unwillingness and misgiving he Hiteitd ou the command usaigned to him. The faulty equipment and diversity of organization of the various coiiiiugeuts composing the bth Army Corps, as well as the detlciencies of the Federal military constitution, bv authority of which the corps was assembled and Illume If entrusted with the command, are clearly set forth. The prince was not even allowed to selevt ttie members of Lis personal staff, his aldes-de-ciinp and every functionary of the army being named by the various military authorities In the States whose contingents were placed nnder his orders. These several contingents varied In their words of command, In their system of maoreuvrlnar, In the calibre of small arms, In their artillery sys tem. The whole body of the 8th Corps presented an aoseroblage of troops from which excellent material might have been selected, but which would have needed far more time than was allowed to its chief to mould it Into the homogeneity necessary for suc cessful military action. No officer or man of the whole body, save of the Austrian division, had ever been In action, and It was twenty-six years since the corps had been assembled. What results could he hoped for from such delects In the essentials of preparation?" A useful warning is given to us in the fore going passage, as well as in several others scattered over this book, whioh show that success in war can only be obtained by care ful preparation in time of peaoe. Among the most regretable episodes of this war is the treatment of the free City of Frankfort by Generals von Falkenstein and Manteuffel. In giving an account of this instance of Prussian brutality,- Sir A. Malet relates that of which he, being on the spot, was personally cognizant. On less authority than this we should hesitate to accept the confirmation of the newspaper statements of the time. It would be painful to attempt a detail of the various acts of ill-treatment whioh Frank fort, which had been entered without opposi tion, Buffered at the hands of the imitators of the ruffians of the Thirty Years' War. It is sufficient to say that Sir A. Malet amply con firms all that was stated at the time, and to mention merely that General Manteuffel threatened pillage and bombardment ' if 2,100,000 were not paid by the citizens within twenty-four hours. It is pleasant to be able to state that this exaction was ulti mately remitted at the personal intercession of the kind-hearted Queen of Prussia. In his chapter on the Prussian army, the author tells us little which those who have studied military matters did not know before. The history of the progress and development of the Prussian military system is not, how ever, without interest to the general reader. The principal change effected in the system of Soharnhorst is that by which the servioe in the reserve is extended from two to four years, and the forming of the landwehr into a separate army, instead of placing it in divi sion as formerly with the regular troops. With regard to the extension of the service in the reserve, General von Moltke gives the following weighty testimony in favor of thor oughly trained soldiers: "On our side, we heard everywhere the cry,' Where is the Captain? what said the Captain as to where we should go?' This Instinct of hanging together under all circumstances cannot be ArilUiX Into a man ; it must be the habit of his life." The advantages of the localization of corps, which has been recommended for our own service, are urged in a passage whioh well merits the attention of Mr. Card well: "The highly valuable element which the French call pricde corps is nowhere better understood or maintained than In the Prussian array. Each regi ment is Indeed localized, and has its own peculiar recruiting district, and its own Landwehr, wherein serve Hie time-expired men of the lino regiments and of the Guard." The system of calling np the reserve ap pears admirable, and may furnish a worthy example for us in the organization of our re serve foroe: "A telegraphic signal from headquarters puts the whole machinery In operation at once. In the Land wehr offices of every village the summonses for as sembly lie constantly ready, and have only to be dis tributed. Every Individual attached to the commis sariat, the hospitals, or field post offices, or any other employ, in case of war, knows bis destination beforehand, and only requires notice to present him self." We will conolude this necessarily imperfect review of a valuable book by giving an ex tract which it would be, perhaps, well if our military authorities would reflect on: "In squad and company drill and In gymnastics, which are carefully attended to, the subaltern offi cers and captains Invariably discharge dntles left In the English army to the ander-officers. By this sys tem men and officers become more familiarized with each other, and this is immensely in favor of the Prussian system In the wear and tear of actual service." MOTELS.
