TO go to with Austria the Italian question

forces H. therefore, evident that French and n.y.

please the French in their ideas Of Italian liberty The
peace Of Europe now hangs thread and 1t Is hard
to tell how the difficult and delicate position
will terminate Marshal Rsdetzky will certainly
tell the British and French ENJOYS that negotiations

been obtained through his accompanying the Italian
States, which had revoed; and the necessity for

By telegraph to Liverpool to- morrow, you will no
doubt get little later news than can give you in
reference to this all important question it should
turn out that Milan has not captuated and that the
representatives of England and France have been
enabled to reach the Headquarters of Marshal Radet
ky before he has retaken Milan and have succeeded
in prevailing upon him to stop hostties to pave
way for srmisice, then the aspect of the matter
will be changed and it will have been easy of
favorable solution
You will read in the English papers full accounts

see that Sir Robert Abercrombie the British minister
at Turin, went to the Austrian commander at Gre

as conqueror: You may judge By this what hopes

nationally expected from victorious and CONG uerng

IF ever was the lot of one man to be called to
fill two Offices at the same time equally important,
| perhaps, and certainly equally responsible, that
| man is the Archduke John, of Austria. The Ger
| man people, in eiectlng the Archduke governor
Of the empire, have entrusted him with the highest
degree of confidence that people ever placed in
man who though of well known integrity OF cha
racter and fine personal qualities, had given, syet
no proof that he possessed that measure of tale mt
and capabilty, which is necessary for the head of
a great and newly established State, situated as
| Germany is, without any firm unity among Its
people, and in the midst of the present political
| aud social revolution OF Europe. The German
| princes, the majority of whom have sanctioned
the election of the Archduke, have done so wholly
guided by the confidence that their power will be
| more successfully maintained through the author
| ity of an imperial governor, who Is himself a
prince.
| The difficulty of the position of the Archduke,
| as Governor OF Germany, Is obvious; but his
position as the imperial representative IN Austria,
is not less difficult. Here, serious quarrels be-
tween the different Sclavonc nations must be adj
Justed-a unity between the Sclavonic and Ger
man subjects of Austria established, and aconstl-
tuition for the whole empire, suitable 10 all these
different nations, framed. Thus the duties devolv.
ing on the Archduke in his double capacity, as the
| Imperial Governor of Germany and the Imperial
Representative IN Austria, are more than any
mortal could perform in the present time; and it
remains to be seen how he will be able to fulfill
his task to the satisfaction of all.
On the 18th inst. the Archduke left Frankfort,
after ne had been installed in due form as the Inn
perial Governor of Germany. He will open the
Austrian Par ament on the 18th INST, at Vienna.
As ministers for Germany, only three have been
appointed yet: V. Schmerling, from Vienna,
Minister OF the Interior and of Foreign Affairs;
| f. G.. Hecksher, from Hamburg, Minister of JUS
| tice; E. " Peucker, from Schmiedeberg, Minis
ter of War: Before his departure from Frankfort,
| the Archduke issued a proclamation to the German
people, in which he admonishes to order and quiet
and promises to do all in his power to restore
state of peace and tranquility in Germany.
In one of the latest slttings of the National AS
sembly, at Frankfort the resolution was passed,
that the King of Hanover, who had refused in a
| proclamation recently issued, to acknowledge the
supreme power of the German government, should
be urged to do so forthwith. The debates were
very lively, and the Assembly expressed its de-
termination to force the King Of Hanover either to
recognize the new German government, or to re-
sign his crown. A feeling against England,
which is growing stronger as the German nation
is about to unite as one people, and to shake oil
the commercial dependency, IN which England
has held Germany, to the great disadvantage of
the latter, for such a length OF tme-is contri-
butng to render also more unpopular the King of
Hanover, who has always been acting IN the in
terest OF England, and is still opposed against the
establishment of unity in Germany. i..r
| The great commercial questions relative to the
future policy of trade Of Germany wsth foreign
countres will not be settled till Germany will
| have obtained more firm state of political unity
and until custom-union will have been estab-
