In the midst of the general confusion in which
all Europe is at present involved, II seems decided
that the authorities and rulers IN Austria shall Try
TO make things everywhere within their controi, II
possible worse than elsewhere. Italy Is all but
lost; the only question that appears now 10 remain
10 be settled, being either war on great SCALE or
how to be quit of her; whether the OLD MARSHAL
who has occupied the line of the, Adige, and who
is already in communication with the second and
third corps de drmfe, under Generals DAspre and
Nugent, should try one great battle with the KING
of Sardinia whom he could not fail OF crushing,
and then, having levied war tax on the principal
towns, retire. out OF the country; or whether he
should negotiate as to the terms of abandonment
from his present strong position.
In Vienna people begin to doubt the good faith OF
the present ministry. They remark, withjustice
enough, that to carry out honestly and consclen-
tiously measures OF reform, the choice OF Flque!-
mont as minister is bad one; ne is the personlfl-
sian, perhaps, even than the latter, besides being
as old and as unpopular But it is here, in Hun
gary, that the affairs are in the worst state; one
continued series of ministerial blunders 10 driving
the country rapidly to the verge OF most sangulnary
outbreak, if not of general revolution: The first
grand mistake that the Diet made was the insisting
on having an entire cabinet of ministers tor all good
working purposes two would have been sufficient,
finance and public works; but with that they would
not be satisfied, but must have the whole batch and
this without having taken any steps so to modify
the existing laws connected with county 60
venments as to prevent the latter having 1t In their
power to throw difficulties in the way of, and even
to refuse, adopting DEGREES OF the ministers The
consequence is, that the government are now at
daggcrs drawn with the counties. The first mis-
take of the ministry itself was the issuing OF the
edict concerning newspapers; this was publicly
burnt. Their second and still greater one, their not

most serious and fatal collisions. IN the mean

The prince acceded to portion of their demands;
