The Fugacious Royalties.-
The Berlin correspondent of the London Times remarks:
The sudden exit of the three Royalties is little regretted by the people hitherto acknowledging their authority. All three have palpably set aside the Constitutions they had vowed to observe. The King of Hanover, besides indulging in this common sin of continental sovereigns, has appropriated the public domains to his own private use. The King of Saxony and his favorite, Beust, have locked up for many years, with felon's chains on their wrists and ankles, a number of educated men implicated in the revolutionary movement of 1848.
The Elector of Cassel fled to Frankfort. His trusty ministers kept a sharp eye on him previous to his departure, as it was considered probable he might attempt to walk off with some of the public moneys, or at least pocket the royal insignia. The crying immorality of the family life of this royal old reprobate, made him the horror and abomination of all Germany. His idea of governing was to extort from his unfortunate subjects the wherewithal to indulge his depraved tastes. His favorite pastime was beating his wife and servants. Sometimes, however, he only came off second best. The squinting, stammering, old rascal has frequently had rough-and-tumble encounters with his subjects in the very streets of Cassel and Frankfort.
Never has Europe seen such a commotion among her "thrones, dominations, princedoms, virtues, powers," as at the present time. King John, of Saxony, George, of Hanover, and the Elector of Hesse Cassel have skedaddled, and gone to swell the ranks of European monarchs out of place. No doubt they will be received with open arms by Francis II., of Naples, Otho I., of Greece, and the ex-rulers of Tuscany, Parma, Modena, etc. If things go on in this way, Mr. Peabody will have to endow an asylum for indigent royalty. Quite a number of ex-kings and queens, princes and princesses are loafing around without any visible means of support; most of the poor creatures are perfectly helpless and fit for nothing.
