THE SUN.
LOY DON, SATURDAY, FEB. 23, 1861

The Paris Correspondent of a contemporary, who
generally has good information, writes—" The
intelligence from Austria becomes daily more revo-
lutiqnary. We may expect a general outbreak ere
long, and the flight of FRANcis Josaru." These,
if we can look on them as at all well-founded, are
startling expressions, yet we are by no means sure
they may not be a prevision of the truth. If the
writer has, as in the society of Hungarian exiles
and other foreigners. at Paris he is likely to have,
information more special than what reaches us by
the ordinary channels, then his remark is evidence
additional to what we already possess. But even
if not—if it be but the mere outspoken interpreta-
tion of telegrams and printed correspondence which
we all see, the interpretation is not one to be utterly
rejected.

At first sight it may seem strange to think of an
Emperor who has 150,000 men in Venetia alone,
commanded by a veteran who is popular with the
army, and who will have even Archdukes,
while serving under him, conform to military
discipline—an EMPEROR who has probably as
many in Hungary, since we read lately of 85,000
on its eastern frontier only, and a large force also
in:the other provinces of his empire—it may seem
strange to think of such a monarch being on the
eve of flight, becaus'e a general outbreak and a
revolution are anticipated. And then, again, the
King of ITALY has, even to his Parliament, intimated
that the time for waiting has come ; in other words,
that he and Count CAVOUR do not include an
attack on Venetia in their policy for the year 1861.
England, too, and France, united in telling the
Italians that Austria, though she cumbered the
ground, with no hope of ever doing anything better,
must he let alone this year also. Altogether the
position of Austria, to outward appearance, was
better far than at the close of 1860.
But there is another side to the case. The in-
ternal difficulties of the empire are little affected
by these external alleviations. The despised idea
of nationalities has risen to life with full strength
during the last year or two; indeed it has been
growing ever since its violent suppression in 1848.
The most unwilling witnesses now admit that what
is meant by that word, however difficult it may be
logically to define it, is a grave political reality. It
has outlived all the Holy Alliance schemes of 1815,
and all thecruelties by which those schemes have
been supported ; and Europe, new, reminds one of
that splendid valley of vision described by the
prophet, in which the bleached bones of the de-
s!.royed children of Israel were seen fast uniting
with each other, then clothed with flesh, then
standing up a vast and mighty army, and lastly,
restoring their ancient kingdom to its pristine
national state. Already thin resurrection has
begun in. the South of Europe. The dissipated
skeleton of Italy is now standing before Europe as
a living power; Hungary, with its
ancient and
long affiliated territories, is instinct with national
life, and shows in every way that nothing bnt its
fully recognised and distinct nationality will satisfy
it. And all the other provinces, Bohemia, Gallicia,
and the Tyrol, are awaking to the consciousness
of their own rights and th© rights of the other
provinces. In 1848 it was very different. Then a
large part of the provinces retained their alle-
giance to the principle of an empire, and
and were willing to aid the little hereditary
Archduchy of the HAPSBURGS in retaining, their
rule over the rest, Jt was one of the earlier errors
