for Austria. That and Bohemia form ,w,
bastions, which the nature OF thing, :.
quire to be connected by the famous line n
the Inn, OF which Austria has We, no, al
tanned the oession. These forti6catyon, y.
already erectedin the territory formerly b..
longing to Venice; but considering the ps,.
tition of Dalmatia, aud drawing line from
the mouth OF the Cattaro towards Orsoy,
and Belgrade, we may easily conceive how
infinitely important il must be TO Austria
TO have her views accomplished.
Its supposed that Austria maintains in
time OF peace an army Of 10000 fighting
men; Of which $40 arc regular infan.
try, $4,000 are cavalry, 1900 artillery,
and 10000 militia stationed along the from.
tiers with other irregular troops. The Hun.
garisns and Polish cavalry are the finest ia
the world. The Tyrolrse are formidable
marksmen, and the Austrians, after Sc.
ven years terrible apprenticeship TO The art /
OF war, are ranked among the finest soldi.
ers of Europe. The disasters of their ar.
mics are to be attributed entirely to the
banefu!infuence Of the Aulic military coun,
Gil, which the wsdom OF the archduke
Charles has Of late confined within a'narrow
compass, bur not entirely destroyed. With.
out permission from Vienna, their generals
could not strike blow. The want Of in.
formation among the subalterns has been a
subject of public apprehension with the
great man above named; princc who has
obtained the glorious title Of the restorer Of
the military discipline of his country.
The Austrian marine is yetto be created.
NJ. de Lichtenstein asserts that 10 1902,
there were % 900 national vessels in the
ports of Austria, but we must have enume.
rated every lutte fishing boat. In the same
manner the number OF vessels arriving at
Trieste in one year, has been sweled to
5000 or 1000. believe there are abouI.
500 vessels above 10 tons, the properly Of
Autriau subjects. The establishment Of a
marine, without coast many times more
extended, would be a very difficult under,
taking for Austria as well as Prussia aao
afser alhof very doubtful utility.
The financial system Of Austria has On'
dergoue and is every day undergoing SO ma
ny new changes, that it would be- 'mPOss''
bic to say any thing of it with precision
1t is said that the revenues OF the .'ae'
which had been very much increased .ol
the last four years, amount to 193, J0oooos
of aorlns of Vienna, Gree OF exPences, o .,
eolection) a sum equivalent TO 3o' coo'ooo
of Fraucks, reckoning the form at lis cur s.
rem, value in Austria. But the course u
exchange with other countries BENG VIZ
unfavo.able to Austria, this SUN "o"'I
hardly represent 400 100000. ho"ey r
the revenues Q! this empire are uhaouo'I ~,
double those of Prussia, and a ll''i' 49,
