KmpiTor ofAusinu immediately marched an ar-my
of lifty thousand men into their villages, and
quartered them upon the inhabitants1. Men ol all
classes, from the most illustrious houses* to lbs'
humblest peasants, were dragged befbff ft itttti

The dungeons of thelJohemian prisoas werefilleu
with the wretched victims ofdespotic cruelty,where
many languished in misery till death released
them.— Whenever there is any appearance uf
disturbance in any portion of the empire, troops
are always brought from some distanct province
to vi- 11 it. Hungarian troops willingly shoot
down liohemian peasants;—mercenary soldiers
from LombjiJy man the fortresses of Hungary,
ready at any moment to turn their guns again.t
a people whose language they do not understand,
aridwhose customs they despise. Wherever, in
any portion of lha empire, there are any indica-tions
of discontent, or any manifestations of the
love of liberty, the government arrests and im-prisons
at its pleasure. There is no habeas corpus
act to bring the accused before an impartial tribu-nal,
and the dungeons of Austria are now filled
with those who have been thus despotically im-mured,
and who will never cmejge till they are
borne to their burial.

When Napoleon was in his career of success-'
fu) conquest through Europe, he overman Prussia
with I,is victorious troops, and quartering his sot*'
diersinthe capojal, took possession^ for himself
and his suite uf the sumptuous apartments of ibo
Prussian king. After dismemberius. ibo empirer
ond exacting enormous tribute from the people, bo
left ihe king of Pruisia humbled to the very duat
with an impoverished treasury, an army nearly
annihilated, and with bul the fragments of bis for-mer
territory The Prussian aueen, upon her
knees and tvhji bursting tears, plead with Napo-leon
not tu plu.ige the Prussian monarchy into
such drip disgrace and ruin. Her gripf aos)
prayers were utterly unavailing. "Tlie tears of
a beautiful woman, snid this most singular of
men,*1 unipieMiomibly arc very pathetic, bul sure-ly
they nre unworthy of sny consideration in ihe
great affairs of slate." This reminds us oflhe re-mark
of Josephine, that " there were not more
than iwo or three days in the course of tho year;
in which a lady could have any influence what-ever
over the mind of Napoleon." The Prussian
ijueen soon died of mortification and a broken
heart. The great and powerful empire of Prus-iia
was thus reduced to tbe most abject weakness.
•• I hive always obeejved," said one of the vet-eran
generals of Napoleon*, "that Providence fa-vors
the heavy battalions.*1 But before the win-try
storms of Kussis, with which God ftewrnrtf
upon the armies of France, it was found that taere
was a power superior even to Napoleon's heaviest
battalions. As this imperious conqueror wss flee-mg,
wiih the freezing and starving fragments of
his demolished army, from ihe disastrous cam-paign
lo Moscow, lhc enfeebled Prussian king
saw that there was a chance, in the final defeat of
Napoleon, of Ins regaining his former territory
und power. He issued a proclamation to hie
subjects, informing them ihat he had no army
ond no money to pay lor troops. Hut he promis-ed
that if they would volunteer their services, ancf
vanquish their conqueror, he would, as a reTvartf,'
confer upon them a constitution securing lo ihem
many civil rights. Universal enthusiasm perva-ded
thu nation. Volunteers, by tens of thousands,
flocked to the Prussian standard. At ihe battle
nl Waterloo, when tho rrsrijl of the tvrrible Con-flict
was in suspense : when Napoleon had claim-ed
the da> as his own. and Wellington was niter-ing
ihe despairing wish," O thai Blucher or night
would coma!" Blucher with Ins heavy banal-ions
<>t Prussians riuhed upon Napoleon's already
exhausted squadrons, and effected the rout. The
Prussian army marched with the allied forces to
Paris, nnd baring secured the imprisonment of
Napoleon Upon ibo rock of Bt. Helena, returned
in triumph to Prussia, now reinstated io all its*
pristine grandeur.
