LONDON, Oct. ~, 1913.
The Austrian Revolution, and Preparations for
Terrible War on the Continent.
The battle OF democracy, If 1t has not already
been fought at Vienna, will soon be decided
Upon Its results will depend the fate of Europe
Should liberty triumph, the fate of Ferdinand is

ness and treacLery to his people. Preparations for
dreadful conflict are going on around the CAPT.
tai. The royal forces face determined populace,
who will be aided by an approaching Hungarian
army, which will, ere this, have closed on the
rear of the savage Croats. Speculation, on any
thing like certain grounds, Is at present impossible
as to the probable result, the correspondence of
the English journals not to be depended on, for
giving an impartial account of the real position
and strength of the contending forces. The prin-
c,pal danger to be apprehended 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 confederated States. to
march on Vienna, TO crush the efforts of Its Cit,
zeps. Prussia has already been summoned to have
its levy ready for instant march, and it remains to
be seen how far the liberals of that country will
approve of this proceeding, by allowing their de-
parture on so despotlc mission. The whole
available military force, stationed In the distant
provinces of the Austrian 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
seems imbued with savage spirit, to wreak the
most determined vengeance on the people. Be-
fore he can effect this, however, immense Difficult
ties must be overcome AT present, the Diet OF the
capital is not In his interest, and any law passed
by it for the levying OF taxes will not enrich the
military chest Of Jelachich, but of his opponents
Under these circumstances the invading forces
have no other alternative but substance on forced
contributions, which are at all times precarlous
even amid neutral population. Add to this, the
vote carried In the Hungarian Diet, by the most
enthusiastic accamatIon, that their country should
fight, and If needs be, fall for the independence of
a city that gave them strong proof of sympa-
thy 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 tidlDgs OF a revolt at Vienna reached
Milan, the army of Radetzky broke out iato open
rebellion, and that murderous conflict was raging
between its Hungarian and CrOatian portions.
With all these conflicting elements, the proba-
biliy OF success appears to be the side of those
whom the royaIst journals call the insurgents 1t
was not necessary to be endowed with any other
power OF prophecy than such as common sense
afforded, to foresee. the present events. The
wicked treachery of the Emperor and his advisers,
which became obvious as circumstances favored
his views, has brought upon itself proper retri-
button, which it is to be hoped will be further
realized by his reinforcement and exlle-a fate he
richly merits. From the correspondence that has
been seized belonging to the late Count Latour,
some curious, as well as treacherous documents.
have been laid before the world. Bv some of
them, 1t appears that one of the most determined
enemies the people OF Vienna had to contend with,
was the Princess Sophia. Lord Palmerston is
mentioned as being in union with the Russian
Emperor, TO the necessity of vigorous interfe-
renee to put stop TO what Is termed the anarchy
of savage faction but to this certain remarks
are added, byno means fattering to his Lordship's
character. Should this interference be carued
into practice, especially by Russian invasion,
there is not the shadow of a doubt but the
Germans will rise, Gu masse, TO repel them, and
should the appear doubtful, no power will be
able to restrain the French from rolling their
armies over the Rhine. 1t should be borne in
mind that, regards the German struggle,
there is not room tor that dependency which
