LONDON, FRIDAY, NOV. 2, 1860.

There is an air of almost school-girl simplicity in
the three questions put•by ingenuous Austria to the
wary old Governments of Russia and Prussia.
They are such natural, artless questions, as were
enough to touch the hearts of even hard, selfish old
calculators like the Ministers and Sovereigns of
the two countries who feel, as yet, much safer than
poor plaintive Austria. How the hard-hearted
monarchs could leave their broken-hearted sup-
pliant unconsoled, we cannot tell. What could be
more in keeping than a conquered Emperor,
threatened with fresh attacks from without, and
his throne shaken within by the upheavings of un-
amalgamated nationalities demanding their old
liberties, thus appealing with the most pertinent
questions to his autocratic neighbours in better
circumstances. " Will you recognise these melan-
choly facts—and the equally melancholy facts
likely to follow—in Italy? What will you do if your
afflicted sister Austria should be attacked. by

that rough Sardinian Nimrod ; and especially, if
another Great Power should back him ? And, in
the event of another war, and its touching any part
of the German Confederation, what would you,
generous, disinterested Prussia, do ? To you the
defeated never looked in vain—you could always
relieve them of the charge of some portion of their
territories, and take it under your kind protection
—witness Silesia, Poland, Saxony.

We do not wonder that innocent Austria pub-
lishes to all Europe the plaints she presented at
Warsaw, and which, by her publishing them alone,
seem almost officially to tell us that they got no
answer. In her simplicity, she imagines that to
tell them frankly is to justify herself. And so it
would be were the people of all European nations
in love with absolutism, and did their rulers dare
to shed more of their people's blood in its defence.
He of
Russia, and he of Prussia too, the father-in-
law of our PRINCESS ROYAL, have hearty goodwill
enough in the cause of that divinest thing on earth—
absolutism, The anguish of Austria on her knees was
painful enough .
ti to them, purely from consideration
of what it indicated.
To them it pointed to a
threatening tide of national life, from the South
rolling North and East, and not unlikely to reach"
them too. The looks of Austria must have struck
the chill thought into their hearts, that self-govern-
ment might, sooner or later, be demanded by their
owa subjects. But what could they do ? That
was the question. In their hearts they cursed the
the Emperor of the FRENCH, and Cursed the King
of SARDINIA, and thrice cursed GARIBALDI ; but
GARIBALDI was not to be quelled by their curses.
Had accomplished facts, and facts likely to be
accomplished in Italy, been capable of annihilation
by that, kind of artillery, the Vatican is a perfect
arsenail of such weapons. " Would they recognise?"
asked, Austria—what cared the facts whether
Russia and Prussia recognised them or not ? There
they are, and there, even in spite of General GOYON
at Rome, and the French Admiral at Gaeta,
tYiey will be. And if they were meddled
with, the only probability was, that they would
propagate themselves so much the faster in the
countries of the intermeddlers.

Austria had done her very best to present an
attractive and hopeful appearance to the gods she
vas invoking. She timed her Hungarian conces-
sions to the moment. They were intended to cause
:great joy on till* first announcement ; that joy
was to be used at Warsaw as a proof that Hungary
