more fearful when it comes Each party seems
fully impressed with the greatness of the stake at

IN anarchy and revolt. And if the revolution
should triumph In Vienna and in Hungary very large
portion OF the empire would yet adhere firm to the
House OF Hapsburg; and Prague that ancient city of
nOwn, might once more become the centre OF imperial
authority. But il is impossible in the present state of
affairs, to look with any confidence to the future, for an
hour may suffice to conound all our calculations
An eye witness of the above referred to- thus
geographically describes the positions of the many
toDgued and many costumed armies assembled around
the imperial capital.
"From the Of ST. Stephens. the eye overlook
all the legions that surround us-Ruheners, Marsuren

matter for small well discplined force to take the city,
and looks forward to its being speedily reduced to sub
lection, Prince WindischgratZ who then |
about to set out, should arrive under its walls with
force (the entire orce) of fifty thousand under his
command.
This revolution" he adds, has been brought about
by Hungarian intrigue and Hungarian gold"
1t appears, however, by the latest accounts, that the
city will not be attacked The Emperor in reply the
second depuaton from the Diet gave positive
that his imperial generals should abstain from lombard
ing the city. WindschgraH had arrived at Vienna, and
had joined his army that of the other generals Fresh
troops from Bohemia, Galcia &c, hourly arriving.
Within the walls the entire population armed to the

sternation prevailed among the population. The com

The Emperor had (probably) arrived at Bounn, in Mo-
ravia and puposed to remain there for the present. the
position of that city, midway between Vienna and Prague,
