The Austrian Revolution and Prepare
tions for a Terrible War on the Cont
nent.
TIE battle of democracy il it has not al
ready been fought at Vienna, win soon be de-
cided. Should liberty triumph, the fate Of
Ferdinand is sea!ed.@ Like his brothers in mis-
fortune, he may bic to England, 70 seek an
asylum in a royal Palace, to reflect at ieis-
ure on the result Of his pervetsness and treach
cry to his people. Preparations for adread-
iul conflict are going on around the Capital
The royal forces lace a determined populace,
who will be aided by an approaching Hungo-
rian Oimy, which will ere this, have closed on
the rear Of the savage Croats. Speculation, on
any 'glng like certain grounds is at present i'm
possible as to the probable result, as the cor-
resPondenco OF the English journals IS not 10
be depended on, for giving an impartial ac-
cout Of The real strength Of the contending
forces. The principal danger to be Opprehended
to the popular cause is, first, the decision Of
the German Vicar of the Empire, at Frankfort,
to levy contributions Of troops, from the various
cohtederated States, to march on Vienna, to
crush The efforts Of its citizens.
Prussia has already been summoned to have.
its ley ready for an instant march, and it re.
mains to be seen how ia The liberals Of that
country will approve of this proceeding, by
allowing their departure on so despotic a mis-
son. The whole available military force sta
Toned in the distant provinces Of the A %ustriou
Empire are marching on the capital, and their
place, it is reported, is to be taken by Russian
troops, which are now crossing their frontier
at the desire of the Emperor, who seemed i'm
bued with a savage %spiritto wreak The most
determined Vengeance on lhe people. Before
ne can effect this, however, immense difficult
ties must be overcome. AT present the Diet Of
The capital 10 not in his interest, and any law
passed by it for the levying Of taxes viii not
enrich the military chest Of Jellachich, but Of
his opponents. Under these circumstances
the invading forces have no other alternative
but subsistence on forced contributions, which
are all times precarious, even amid a neutral
population. Add to this, the 70 g carried in
the Hungarian Diet, by tho most enthusiastic
reclamation, that their country should fgh,
and. If needs be, fall for the independence Of
a city that gave them 50 strong a proof Of sym
Fatty in their hour of peril
More fatal still to the last desperate efforts
Of the Emperor is the news from Italy which
announces that when the tidings of a revolt
at Vienna reached Milan the army ofRadetzky
broke out into open rebellion, and that a mur
derlng conflict was raging between the Hun
garian and Croatian portions.
With all these conflicting elements. the pro-
liability Of success appears to be on the side
of those whom the royalist journals call the in
surgents. 1t was not necessary to be endow-
edwin any other powerof prophecy than such
as common sense afforded I foresee TIE present
events. The wicked treachery OF the empo-
ror and his advisers, which became obvious as
Giro favored his views, has brought
upon itself proper relribution, which it is to
be hoped will be realized by his dethronement
and exile-u fate he richly merits. e
The French, in their revolutions, are soon up
and soon down; but the German square-heads,
when once raised, there is no putting them
Down. They will fight to tho last, and then
W ever give in but dieon the spot. THIS va
seen the other day at Vienna, where the SIT
dents marched coolly across a square in The
face ofshowers OF grapeshot and tookthe a~rtille
~ that protected the wal ofic9 with the bay
onet.
