peared in the Verona Gazette, of the 14th, that is
two days after the meeting at Villafranca. As the
article is headed " Quartiere Superno," it has all
the authority of a " communicated" article. After
stating that the Emperor has concluded peace in
order to put a stop to the scourge of war, the
writer alludes to the Emperor's complaint that he
had been abandoned by his old allies, and remarks
as follows :

" The sacrifice of Lombardy is great, no doubt,
but we find consolation in the reflection that what
is momentarily ceded is not always lost. Influences
change, fortune will not always be against us.
Sooner or later we shall cross the Mincio in order to
reconquer the tombs of the heroes of Sorama. and
Custoza— that land soaked with our blood shall
still be ours. God promises it to us from the hea-
venly regions, through the voice of the white-
haired Radetzky. Austria is obliged to make
peace ; but we must not forget that while she re-
tains the quadrilateral of the fortresses, she may
still consider herself, in a military point of view,
as the mistress of the whole valley of the Po. She
only le:Nes the Lombards to the intemperance of
their political feelings—the end of the drama we
shall see presently."

A Paris correspondent of the Independance thus
speaks of the projects of reform entertained by the
Emperor of Austria :

" All the provincial councils of the empire are to
be convoked simultaneously in order to answer a
series of questions on the ameliorations which
they may think necessary in the internal govern-
ment of the State, and especially in the provincial
organisation. Contrary to the usual practice, no
programme will be given for the proceedings of
the councils, but they will have complete liberty in
their deliberations and may make known openly
and sincerely to the Emperor the wants and wishes
of the populations. Such a project is worthy of all
commendation. As to a change in the financial
system, and especially in the mode of keeping the
public accounts, there is some hesitation. There
was some idea of adopting the French system of
accounts, which is acknowledged to be excellent,
but it appears that the present system has great
similarity to that used in France, so nothing has
been as yet decided on that point. The financial
embarrassments are extreme, and there is a ru-
mour of a radical measure which will soon be laid
before the Emperor. The experience of the late
war has proved that some services of the army—
the commissariat and artillery, for instance—are
not exactly what they should be. Imporfant re-
forms will be made, and I have reason to know
that Austrian officers are at present in England for
the purpose of studying the English system of
artillery, and examining the famous Armstrong
cannons."
