do the governments as well as the nations
of Europe, show themselves animated by
a wine. spirit of amelioration and progress.
England. under the conduct ol a tory
minister. has just accomplished reforms
of immense magnitude. The. frame Work
of the old parties, by which those reforms
were resisted, has been broken up in order
that they might be accomplished ; and the
day following the carrying into effect ol
such radical changes in the economical
organization of England it is not such a
reactionary government which appears—
itis unanimously admitted to be impossi
ble—but it is a \vhig ministry. that is to
any. a reforming ministry, that takes pos
session of place. with the mission proclai
med beforehand. of fortifving the work of
Sir Robert Peel. and‘ continuing it in an
other course. by emanc'ipating unhappy
Ireland from the tyrannies under which
she groans.
Prussia. in defiance of the lamentable
hesitattuns of her king. and the senseless
resistance of the princes of the royal fam
ily. is resolutely advancing towards the
liberty which she has been promised, and
of which she fully appreciates the value.
After many delays. she is about to come
into possession of a constitution—incom
plete, imperfect, fantastical. modelled ac
cording to the institutions of the middle a
ges. and one whichqflill not flourish upon
another soil; but she will maintain it in
existence by animating it with her spirit.
There, where ”much! reigns almost abso
lutely. it will not allow itself to be thwar
ted long by the forms or the acts which
throw obstacles in its way. .
Spain, seduced tor a long time past
from the paths of her real prosperity, by
the ingralitude and incapacity ol lieriulers.
is too proud, nevertheless, to slumber in
slavery. Deprived of a constitution. ot
laws, and even of government. she is still
agitating herself once more. in order to find
those guarantees of order and liberty.
without which modern nations can no lon
ger exist.
Italy hat: proved. for the last thirty
years, that she. ia ulwuya ready to real her
protests against despotism by her noble
blood; but the "governments of that coun
try, in the end. seem to be weary ol this
impioue latruggle: they are beginning to
