LONI,G.V. SATURDAY, OCT. 21.
Tax d ft. rent parties engaged in the great and
complier stile which is to decide the liberties, the
fortunes, an I even the nationality, of Austria, seem
laaraaatt, with the magnitude of all that is at stake.
The Car r -ks his crown, the people their liberties.
Croats at.. Hungarians feel that theirs must be a com-
bat of lib and death. AU concerned show signs of
hesitation. Days are spent in parley, in which the
military d.. not assume the most determined tone.
Even the Emperor and his family receive the
deputies of the Viennese blandly, and thank them
far their, .• Silence. The poor Emperor is incapable
of leakier a rational answer of himself; for it has
pleased Pr, vidence to expose this ancient empire to
political convulsion under an hereditary sovereign who
has not ti,. intellect of a child. But his Chamberlain
(Prince L. mitowrrz) assures the deputies that the im-
perial tro• tn. will not attack Vienna.
In trail, they are in no condition to make any such
attempt. l'he withdrawal of AtAdIiBPERG from the
strong p sition which he held in the suburb of
Vienna, t %ether with his letters to the Ban
and to the Viennese, evince his unmistakeable
anxiety to be let alone, and his profound re-
pugnance ,o more fightinr. Jethscitica writes
to have the Hungarians sent away, and
to have fn e supplies of provisions. Both the armies,
the Slav •nian regiments of Aer.a.srintr; and the
Croats of tne Ban, occupy the extensive plain south of
Vienna, b ,unded to the west by 'he long line of hills
which crd t!..e mountains of the Scemmeriog. The
Bee inhatins Schonbrunn, AUEISPERG a village
on the Ine of the railway to Trieste.
Behind them the Rungs: ians have pitched
and entrenched their camp at Swachat, from
which they stretch along the canal to the
Danube. What renders the position of the Ban most
serious is, that his advance upon Vienna has aroused
the German feelings of the Styrian', and the entire
country south of the Sceramering is in arms and
marching to succour Vienna and annihilate the Croats.
There was a talk of Jahrrcuxu's having re-
turned by Ncustadt towards his own country,
but this is impossible; his retreat is cut off.
ACYJUIPERO does not at all make common
mass with him, so that to hold his ground
Deems impossible. His only support, as indeed that
AUZASTO:IIO, is in the advance of Oen. WINDISCII-
OZATZ. That general, as will be seen front the
Leipsig paper, only left Prague for Glantz as the
Hr was to pus two days there. The Viennese
will, of course, take precautions to prevent his paging
the Danube in the vicinity of their city. He mast,
probably, go round by Krems to crow it,
and the Ban and AIIIIMPIJW, if nnattacked,
may fall back and join him, in order to attempt
the sighs of Vienna. But with an Hungarian
army, its own enthusiastic population, and the whole
country 'Guth of the Danube in arms and excited
against the Slavoniano, especially since the Croats
have been plundering and disarming the villages, it is
not at all certain that the imperial general can
reduce Vienna.
Meantime the deputies of the Assembly propose
a very fat plan of accommodation. They recommend
a congress or convention of the different races and
coustrom, of Bohemian, and Hungarian, andenfat,and
Austrian-German. They demand, too, that the Lom-
bards and Veaetians shall be represented in this
congress of nationalities, which is to consider how
their muftis' rivalries can be conciliated, and their
respective liberties .seared, consistently with the unity
of the empire and the tights of the sovereign.
There can be no better plan devised for avoiding the
horrors of civil war than this. It is impossible not to
feel that the Emperor, even if victorious, entering at
the head of his Slevonian army, amidst the ruins of
his Getman capital, must abandon the -idea of being
ever again considered thc sovereign of his German
subjects. The revolt of Vienna is evidently not the
work of a mere rabble. However idly began, the
conduct of the court, the ministers, and the military,
has romp d, not only the citizens, but the populati.n
of the Austrian proviecce, in a common cause; and
this cannot be extinguished save in the purest German
blood of the empire. Victory in such a strife would
to the imperial house and the monarchy be u per-
nicious as defeat.
