Sixes we last noticed what then seemed the in-
credible announcement that Baron Bauer was
about to become the Emperor of AUSTRIA'S First
Minister, the report has been repeated with a
degree of persistency in presence of which in-
credulity was powerless, and at length the nomi-
nation has taken place. The reasons why the
EMPEROR should not make such an appointment
lie on the surface of contemporary history. Of the
external relations of Austria by far the most im-
portant are those in which it stands towards
Prussia, and of all the statesmen of Germany
Baron Bann is the one moat obnoxious to the
enmity of the Prussian Government. The hos-
tility of Count BISMARCK to Baron Beim is not
merely real and strong, for in that case it might
still be dissembled, but is patent, having been
proclaimed to the world last July, when the
Prussian Government positively refused to treat
with Saxony so long as its old antagonist re-
mained in the councils of its KING. It appears
inconceivable that the EMPEROR should find
it for the interest of the monarchy to choose
an adviser with such antecedents at a
time when his subjects require before all
things to be secured in peace and tran-
quillity. But even if this objection did not
exist, there is the further fact that Baron Bsusr
has not hitherto succeeded in any undertaking to
which he has put his hand. The restoration of
the Austrian empire is, by the confession of all
parties, the most difficult enterprise which any
statesman could propose to himself. In the
opinion of many experienced statesmen it is an
impossibility. And yet for this task a man is
selected whose whole career is identified with
failure. By the illiberality of the policy he pur-
sued at home Baron Benrr alienated the opinion
and feeling of the most influential classes in
Saxony, so that his Kniu in the hour of need was
left without support and comfort in the attach-
ment of his subjects ; while the Saxon Minister's
foreign policy precipitatod the great German crisis,
and rendered his Sovereign a fugitive, without the
means of returning to his own States except by
consenting to the rigorous terms imposed by the
enemy. The one thing that is to be said
in favour of the nomination is, that it will
give Austria what it has long wanted—definitive-
ness of policy. Baron BEcsr is a man who will
either " make a spoon or spoil a horn," and if
the owner of the horn likes to risk the loss of the
material there is no more to be said. From the
time the Baron takes the affairs of the empire in
hand the Government will no longer rest in ten-
dencies, velleities, and other indeterminate states of
mind, promising everything and bringing nothing
to perfection. He is a man to take a line in
the sight of the world and to hold it, and he will
be the first Austrian statesman since Prince
Sof walzawsuao who has really done so.
What may be Baron Bzues views of the
home policy moat suitable in the present cir-
cumstances of Austria we have no means of as-
certaining, but as to the external policy which he is
prepared to recommend, the Augsburg Gazette—
s journal accustomed to speak with knowledge on
Austrian affairs—has just made some disclosures
of much interest. According to our Bavarian
contemporary, Baron BETST has drawn up a
sketch of his views, in the form of notes, which
have been under the consideration of the
EMPEROR. Assuming the correctness of the pub-
lished analysis of this paper, the objections to
his accession to office, founded on his former an-
tagonism to Prussia, are deprived of their basis,
for Baron BEMIS recommends the Austrian Govern-
ment hereafter neither to make nor meddle with
German affairs, but leave Prussia to carry her
policy of unification into effect without let or
hindrance ; to practise conciliation towards that
Power, and even to keep up the most cordial re-
lations with it ; to abandon the South German
States to their fate, and not seek to exercise any
influence on them with a view to unite them in
a Confederation separate from Prussia. He even
considers that the ultimate absorption of those
States into Prussia would be favourable to Austrian
interests. We are not told what he thinks would
become of Lower and Upper Austria, Styria, Sala-

nir THE PRUSSIAN ARMY.
An ordinance, dated October 11, has been pub-
lished in Berlin. This document notifies an in-
Geese of the army in consequence of the incor-
Oration of Hanover, &c., and the treaty of
alliance with the States of the North. The
army will be immersed by three corps d'annie
(Nos. 9, 10,.11) the head-quarters of which will be
Schleswig, Hanover, and Camel. Sixteen regiments
of infantry, whiCh is equivalent to two corps
d'arm6e, will be recruited from the annexed pro-
vinces. Twelve regiments of cavalry will also be
formed because in the Federal contingents this
branch of the army was always insufficiently repre-
sented. The third corps-d'arm6e will be supplied
by the States of the North, which by article 4 of
the treaty of alliance of the 18th September have
placed their troops under the special command of
the King of Prussia. These three corps, however,
will not be composed exclusively of men belonging
to the new provinces. Some of the troops of the
Federal contingents and of the old Prussian regi-
ments may form part of them. This project will
begin to take effect from the bth of November next.

THE AUSTRIAN MINISTRY.
The New Free Press of Vienna says that all the
Austrian ministers, including the Aulic Chancellor
of Hungary, Herr von Mailath, appear to have re-
ceived orders to repair to Prague, where the cabi-
net will probably be reconstituted.

ITALY.
The following reply was sent by the King of
Italy to the address presented to him from the
clergy of Mantua :
The interpreter of the sentiments which the language
of the address from the clergy of Mantua has produoed
in the mind of his Majesty, I have been directed by the
King to thank the reverend signitaries of the address for
the noble example which they have given to the Italian
priesthood. Great national works like that which has just
been accomplished in Italy cannot be realised azoept
at the price of many acts of abnegation which every
honed citizen ought to be ready to make for his country if
he desires to see it rich, united, and strong. These gene-
rous aspirations, which were always the motives that
guided the policy of the King, found large support amongst
the most enlightened portion of the Lombardo-Venetian
clergy. This circumstance has given a lively satisfaction
to the King, who finds in it likewise a proof of devotion to
hie pereen. The King is confident that the prayers of the
clergy of Mantua will be beard by Gal, NA that Eteemly
blessings will contribute to increase the happiness of the
Italian nation.

Private Seastary to the King.

ROME AND ITALY.

IMPORTANT ALLOCUTION OF THE POPE•
ROME, Ocr. 30.

The Pope has distributed to the Cardinals two
allocutions delivered by his Holiness in the
Conaistory, held yesterday.
In the first the Pope deplores the persecutions
of the church by the Ital'em government, the sup-
pression of the religious orders, the secularisation
of the ecclesiastical property, and the law of civil
marriage. All these acts he condemns and de-
clares to be null and void, and repeats the censures
of the church against their authors. Nevertheless
his Holiness declares that he accords his benedic-
tion to Italy. The Pops further protests against
the invasion and usurpation of the Ponti-
fical provinces, and against the revolutionary
project of making Rome the capital of
the new kingdom. He states that the
temporal power is indispensable to the inde_
pendence of the spiritual power, and declares that
he is ready even to suffer death for the mainte-
nance of the sacred rights of the Holy See, and if
necessary to seek in another country the requisite
security for the better exercise of his apostolic
ministry. Finally, his Holiness prays that
Italy may repent of the evils which she has
brought upon the church. In the second
allocution, his Holiness states that the
Russian government has violated the Con-
cordat of 1848, and recalls the persecu-
tions exercised against the Archbishop of Warsaw,
the suppression in the dioceses of bishops of their
legitimate jurisdiction, the abolition of religious
orders in Poland, the confiscation of ecclesiastical
property—all acts tending to the destruction of
catholicism in Russia. His Holiness concludes by
offering up a prayer that the Czar may put an end
to the persecutions of catholics within the Russian
dominions.
