AUSTRIAN pEsPoTIsM-The Aus,riaL youth,
having finished his academical course, whe,h.
er he be lawyer or divine, is entirely in the
hands of the government. His past life * Con-
duct serve his supcriors as guide. Has he
given the least cause Of suspicion shown the
least peachant towards libtralidcas then he NAV
br sure that the higher his talents. the less his
capacity to serve his Emperor or to obtain
license as an attorney. Should he apply to
the government for a non commits Toned Office,
his immediate supriors become his watchmar
An unguarded word is suffi' lent not OILY to
pre- cude his advancement, but 10 deprive him
even Of his station. He cannot expect indnl-
gCnce or forbearance on the part OF his superb
ors, il would be looked upon as a connivance,
and, if repeated, deprive them Of their places.
Francis may be said TO have trained his sub,
iccts, during The thirty four years Of his reiga,
TO blind obedience, which has absot bed prin-
ciplc, honour and all noble sentiments. Oue
is really horror struck at the sigh; ofthe NOR
al havoc caused by the short sighted slmpici>
" of prince. who, in order 10 bear down all
dispute OF his right and supremacy, has in fact,
overturned honour, morality, religion and
principles. Rig hi is IN Austria what pleases
the Emperor-h his will, wrong, what dispieases
him.-.'uSiyia as II IS.
