The. Austrian and Prussian Armies.

VIENNA, April 14

The following comparative statement of the
Austrian and Prussian armies when raised to their
full war strength may not be uninteresting at th©
present juncture.
The Austrian army, upon a full war footing (ex-
cluding the men not required for absolute service in
the field, who number 34,000) amounts to 579,000
men, consisting of 431,000 infantry, 57,000 artil-
lery, 106,000 extra corps, drivers, sanitary aids,
ambulance and field-hospital men, &c., and 42,000
cavalry. Deducting from the infantry and the
japers, the fourth battalions and depot strength
(109,800) men), who remain in the country and the
recruiting districts, the number of the available foot
soldiers amounts to 321,000. Making a similar
deduction from the artillery the extra corps and the
cavalry, the two former could take the field with
77,000 and the latter with 35,700 men, amounting

altogether to 433,700.

would therefore amount to 367,819 mon.
