As yet there has been no collision between the
Austrian and Sardinian troops. Bloodshed has
happily been avoided up to this time, or at least
up to the period when the last accounts came to
hand. This may probably be ascribed to the fact
that Austria has not yet abandoned a faint hope of
peace being restored. She has made her demon-
stration against Piedmont, but has not as yet ren-
dered the quarrel inexpiable, or one that can only
be washed out by the blood of innocent parties. It
is possible that although she has taken the first
formal step, she still has sufficient respect for public
feeling in Europe to avoid proceeding to extremities,
or taking what might be considered as a very un-
fair
advantage of an inferior power.
Meanwhile her allies are beginning to feel the
effects of the crisis. A military revolution had
broken out in Tuscany. The Grand Duke had been
offered the unpleasant alternative of abdication or
alliance with Sardinia. It aNears, however, that
considering " discretion the better part of valour,"
he declined being tossed on either horns of the
dilemma, and preferred removing with his family
to a safe distance from the scene of danger. The re-
sult is that VICTOR EMM.INt•EL has been proclaimed
Dictator of Tuscany. The Duke is but the first of
the victims. There arc other Italian poten-
tates far more unpopular than he was,
whose people will be anxious to avail
themselves of the first opportunity to set aside
the maladministration and misgovernment to
which they were subjected. The Austrian bayo-
nets have now ample occupation. None can be
spared to interfere between the rulers and the
ruled, and the cat being away, the mice will revel
in the luxury of unalloyed freedom.
The treatment of Italy is the terrible stain on
Austria! If her German subjects tolerated the
manner in which they were treated, the Hunga-
rians, the Gallicians, and more especially the Lom-
bardo-Venetians, have emphatically protested, not
only against her rule, but the manner of her
rule, she might feel herself to be at liberty
to "do as she liked with her own ;" but surely
she had no jurisdiction in Parma, Modena,
Tuscany, or the States of the Church—had no
authority to occupy them with her troops, or erect
Austrian fortresses upon alien soil. But for
this unwarrantable conduct, Austria would
receive all our sympathies. She detected the
nefarious conspiracy between the autocrats of the
East and West, and boldly flung herself into the
gap to arrest their progress. But for the sins
accumulating for 44 years, she would command our
admiration. -As it she can only get rid of active
opposition in consequence of the gross ill-treatment
she has received, and the firm conviction that the
Italians would be better off, even in Austrian, than
in French or Russian hands. "Physician, heal
thyself," was a wise demand, and when we see
perfect liberty in France or Russia, we may admit
their power and intention of conferring freedom
on others.

The gentlemen of the Stock Exchange, and we
believe of all the Bourses in Europe, have already
suffered heavily by the crash. It is worthy of
notice that it is those who have been seeking loans
requiring a little discount that have occasioned all
the mischief. Austria first came into the market
with her « little bit of stuff" for the ridiculously
trifling swa of eight millions sterling. The trans-
action did not, however, find favour in the sight
of English capitalists. Menaces had gone forth
from the Tuileries and the Chamber at Turin ; and
the pertinent inquiry Nina made, How could Austria
meet the liabilities in the event of war which she
was unable to liquidate in time of Peace ? This
knocked the project on the head ; and with the
exception of a very few of the class who are pro-
verbially reported to part soon with their money,
very little English gold or silver has found its
way since the commencement of the present year
to the Treasury at Vienna.

Russia had higher notions. She asked not
for eight, but twelve millions, and had an
equally plausible excuse to offer for the
urgent requirement ! The action of Aus-
tria,—the increase of discount, and the general
depreciation of all classes of securities, public and
private, "have, however, prevented the AnTocitAT
from benefiting by the well-known gullibility of
JOHN BULL, and enabling him to obtain from
