LONDON, THURSDAY, OCT. 10, 1861.

Austria finds the old proverb true, that troubles
never come singly. After all her treachery and
cunning, her exertions to bribe or deter Croatia

from the course taken by Hungary, have been
signally and ignominiously frustrated. Last
evening's telegrams informed us that the depu-
tation from the Croatian Diet waited on the EM-
PEROR on that day with the Croatian address ;
that the address, which was almost verbally the
same as that of the Hungarian Diet, was replied to
in almost the same terms—" His MAJESTY would
consider the claims of the Croatians and afterwards

give his decision."
Here, then, we have a second great failure—
as great a failure, in some respects, as that
in Hungary itself. Croatia and Slavonia, with
Dalmatia, which claim to act together, contain a
population of 1,300,000, and were to send nine
members to the Reichsrath. Hungary proper con-
tains 10,320,000, and was to send eighty-five mem-
bers. But Croatia was the nationality which
Austria had bribed through her infamous BAN to
separate from and attack Hungary in 1848, and in
consequence a bitter hatred had sprung up between
the two countries. Happily for Hungary it was
not in Austrian nature to keep faith. The inde-
pendence and special favours promised to Croatia
were exchanged for SCHWARGENBERG amalgama-
tion with the despised Archduchies; and the
Croatians, instead of the freedom and self-govern-
ment they enjoyed under the Hungarian crown ,found
themselves suddenly but a large province governed
from Vienna. Fellowship in Austrian maltreat-
ment soon created a fellowship in resentment
against it ; and, before the Italian war, the Croatians
and Hungarians had, nobly and manfully, agreed
to forget and to forgive. They came to a good
understanding with each other, and it may be re-
membered that one of the first acts of the Diet
was to appoint a Committee to report to it a
scheme for the perfect political equalisation of all
the countries belonging to the Hungarian Crown.
It was intended as a measure to complete the recon-
ciliation which had already taken place, and was
received as such by the Croatians and the nation-
alities generally.
How mortifying then must it be to the EMPEROR
to receive from the province which had been duped
and cajoled in vain, a second Hungarian address.
He is told directly that the Diet demands the
restoration of its constitution of more than a thou-
sand years old; that the ill-famed system of abso-
lutism had been arbitrarily imposed, had trampled
out their dearest rights, had troddey, down
all that was holy, had Aimed at the
- suppres-
sion of their nation and language, and threat-
ened to extinguish every spark of that faith
and confidence which the nation had always placed
end still placed in its King ! " His Majesty is
reminded of the bilateral obligations of the Prag-
matic Sanction, and of the special obligations under
which the King lay to the nation for saving the
throne.

The Croats on this point, placo the impudent
SCHMERLING in a. most awkward predicament. That
arrogant Minister, when Rifted against the entire
Hungarian nation, justified tbe imposition of Mr.
ROEBUCK'S imperial constitution on Hungary, by
telling a whole people as proud himself that,
bYratcdeciaring the Hapsburgs deposed for their out-
, _us treachery an ,d illegalities in 1849,"they had
forfeited their ancient constitution, and that the
ac-uurir of the
0 lie pleased.
