Dece..ary for a time, and for the sae of reoonoilia•

Still there were doubts as to whether the Puma
could news be true—whether the Duchess wished
to emancipate herself from Austria? It she did
could she govern with safety by herself?
la the first place, the Duchess is very fat and very
b:goted; where her heart lies under those thick coats
of embonpoint, and the shining oil of religious ono-
ttai she so well thrives under, so man can tell. But
the men she has about her—Pallaricini,Lorobardioi,
sod Catani, the two !RUEe especially, are honest and
erter and highly respected MO ; they have always
been at variance with the Austrians, and most tier-
:Aio:y wish them beyond the Po, or in it. But they
arc Aery moderate, very pusillanimous men, and have
the met exaggerated notions about the people they
hate to rule over. Nevertheless, the experiment
might seem, even to them, worth making,
and they would make it; but in order to go about
burinees it is quite necessary to begin by putting the
king of rivers between them and the Croats, and
this can only be done by conveying a gentle hint
to these patrons—to be gone.
Can the Duchess big them go? will she even be
allowed to say the word ? You know the great stress
Austria laid upon the fact that she never ontstspped
her boundaries except at the bidding of the States—
i.e., the Governments—which needed her help. But
did she say she would go as she came in, oa the first
intimation or request P Has not the horn. got the
man on the saddle? or has not the magician con•
jored op a devil he has no spell to dismiss?
Suppose the Austrians would not go. What then ?
Can Piedmont bid them P Will France and England
bid them ? Certainly the Duchess is said to be
anxious to be mistress in her own house. Her minis-
ters have assured her it is needless to hope to carry
on a twofold government; either the Aostriens
must have it ail, or most have no share in it. But
who is to let Europe know of her wishes or inten-
tions? Cao any manifesto go forth from a Duchess
or from ministers, who would by so mum be sure
cot to be lodged in gaol or conveyed to Malatya are
the day were over? And if a protest esme out—if
the fat lady were to throw down bar glove, will
doughty Fogland or knightly Freese, hasten to pick
it up? The only plan that might be safely carried
oat would be to smuggle the heavy Bourbon lady
over the border. But where should she go? To
Pitch:omit—which has trouble enough to keep its
preition as it is—and bring a quarrel to a state unable
to fight it out ? To France, where, as a Bourbon,
shs is a banished woman, and would be sue of no
friendly welcome, unless it were at Viaticums?
Then to England! Alas! England has plenty of
rooms for her at ?divert's, if she eau pay t but dis-
