AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, JUNE 22.

Matters have been so terribly mismanaged in
Austria during the last ten years, that it will be
almost miraculous if the Empire escape dissolution.
In all the provinces very great discontent prevails,
and there is reason to fear that there will be serious
disturbances in some of them if a change is
,not
speedily made in the system of government. The
Minister of the Interior still clings to the idea that
the principle of strict centralisation may be main-
tained, but the Magyars laugh him to scorn, and
openly declare that the present state of things
cannot last. The Hungarians, being a loyal race,
are not very likely to listen to the blandishments
of Kossuth and Klapka., but still it would be
good policy to endeavour to satisfy them. A
short time ago they would probaably have been
content with trifling concessions, but they have
now changed their tone, and talk of the absolute
necessity for a provincial representation, with
a right to exercise a certain degree of control
over the expenditure. Persons of respectability
have assured me that the Magyars would, if an
opportunity presented itself, renounce their alle-
giance to the Emperor, but I give little credit to
such information, as the Hungarians are in general
good politicians, and know that they cannot make
head against the Sclavonic races by whom they are
surrounded, unless they are in intimate connexion
with the Germans. The wrong done to the Pro-
testants in Hungary is one of the causes of the dis-
affection which prevails in that province, and some
time ago the Emperor told the Archduke Albrecht
that the matter should be speedily and satisfactorily
settled. In obedience to the express orders of his
Majesty, the affair was at once taken in hand by
Count Leo Thun, and it would by this time have
been definitively disposed of had not the Council of
the Empire (Reichsrath) raised all kinds of objec-
tions to the proposals made by the Minister. The
Sovereign is said to place great confidence in the
above•mentioned august assembly, which is princi-
pally composed of worn-out statesmen, once eminent
lawyers, and several lay Jesuits. The vis inertice of
the Reichsrath is so great that it acts on the State
machine as a break does on a railway train. The
feeling in Croatia and Sclavoniais by no means good,
and it will probably become worse now that Count
Jellachich has ceased to be. The gallant Ban some
years ago told me that M.von Bach " had succeeded in
transforming zealous patriots into discontented and
sullen taxpayers." At such a moment as the pre-
sent, when the very existence of the empire is at
stake, the Jesuits, who are behind the. Minister for
Ecclesiastical Affairs, have induced him to give
offence to the Ruthenes, a highly loyal Russo-
Sclavonic race living in ' Galicia. The Ruthenes,
who number about 2,900,000 souls, belong to the
United Greek Church, and recognise the Pope as

their spiritual pastor and master. Their priests,
however, address their Maker in the Sclavonic in-
stead of the Latin language, and take unto them-
selves wives, and consequently are treated as
schismatics by the Jesuits. The latter not long
since persuaded Count Leo Thun to order the
Ruthenes to substitute the Polish (Latin) for the
Cyrillic letters, and the consequence of such un-
callea-for and unwise interference was, that the.
Russo-Galicians complained to the Government of
the conduct of certain high employes, " who were
surreptitiously endeavouring to rob them of their
inherited treasure, the Cyrillic character, and with
it of the language and religion which had been
theirs for more than 1,000 years." I repeat, that if
things long remain as they now are, Austria must
necessarily go to pieces. The catastrophe may be,
and probably will be avoided, as the Emperor, is
said to have heard more truth since he has been in
It has struck me
Italy than he ever did before.
