How THE WORLD IS GOVERNED'.-There are about one* hundred separately organ? ized Governments in the world at the pre eenttifne. Nearly one-half are moaarchies ia Europe;' ahd of these) a largo proportion are petty Prineipalitie? and Dukedoms, containing altogether about six millions of inbabititants. Of the Governments of Europe, Great Britain is a limited monarchy; Franco ia nominally constitutional, but in reality an absolute* monarchy; Russia and Austria ara absolute? Prussia, Spain and Sardinia are limited, with the Chambers of Depu? ties. * There are only four Republics in Burope-Switzerland, San Marino, Monte? negro and Ancona. Tho ihree latter ccu tain an aggregate population of nut over 120,000 people. ', ?Switzerland, a cc ure in lier mountain fastnesses, is now by common consent, -leA? unrnplested. The Govern? ments of Asia are all absolute despotisms. Thibet bas the uame of being a hierarchy, but diners in no practical sense, from t? despotism. In Africa, the -Barbary Statt-s, aad all the various negro tribes, ot what? ever name, are ruled despotic-ally, except Liberia, which .is republican, and may be? the opening wedge* of civilization on that . continent. The great islands' io the Southern and Pacific Ooeans are mostly independent and despotic, such is Ja;.an, with a population of twenty millions, and. MaJagmic^r, con? taining about-five miliioqs. Tue Sand? wich and Society Islands are limited mon orontes, and the other islands in -the South ora and Pacifie Oceans belong mostly to the different European Potrera,,and are rulad according to their respective forms.of government. On the American .continent, there ? are two Monarchical Grovemraen ta; that of ferazil, which ia, however, liberally "constitutional, and that of Mexico. In the three geographical divisions pf America, there are new eighteen separate Republics. Tbe British Possessions in North America exceed the United States in territorial - ex? tent, and they enjoy a large amount of political freedom. ?,, Headquarters, COIUMBIA, S. C.* Aran. 19, 18ft5.
