THE main object of the German rulers, and we may add of Louis PHILIP, appears to be to make the people contented without the possession of political freedom. To this end, a very considerable portion of the money collected by taxation is expended in internal improvements: justice between man and man, not between the government and its subjects, is strictly administered : efforts are made to diffuse useful education, not touching on politics, among all classes : the affairs of government are economic- ally and prudently administered, by Austria and Prussia at least, if not by Louis Pinup, one of whose favourite instruments is corruption.
