Il Austria, Russia, HangaTia.
ii now, we believe. beyond all doubt that the mpe-
nal governments OF Austria and Russia have entered
close defensive alliance by virtue of which the cabinet
of Vienna has solicited and obtained from that of ST.
Petersburg immediate and efficient military support An
army of 10000 Russians destined to perform this i'm
portant service 100000 men will enter the Polish
and Hungarian territories OF the Austrian empire and the
remaining division will act as reserve to be EMPLOYED
circumstances may require. 1t is with the strongest
epugnance and regret that the young emperor and the
majority OF the Austrian cabinet have found themselves
compelled to embrace this humiiating and dangerous
alternative Far from entertaining any desire to adopt,
in concert with the forces OF the Emperor Nicholas active
measures OF hostility against these modern institutions
which the spirit of the age requires, the Austrian govern
ment manesty depores the hard necessity of these times
which render the forces of despoc power the only avail
able barrier against anarchy and the total sabvsrsion Of
the empire. The full weight of this misfortune no
where more keeny felt than at Vienna, But after the
late of the Hungarian nsurrection with its mn
merous Polish auxiliaes, it is hard TO what other
course remained to the imperial cabinet Its resources
have unhappy been divided by the aggression of Charles
Albert the prolonged resistance OF Venice, and the
AGING attitude OF the French in Iay whilst those Of the
Hungarans have been augmented BY hosts Of the volun

Within certain bounds it is impossible to contest the
justice of the Hungarian cause, and nation in for
constitutional independence which dates from the 18th
century is not to be COMPOUNDED with mob of rebels
But unhapPy the leaders OF the Magyars in this contest
have not taken their stand that ground They have al
lowed the barriers OF law and property to be overturned
they have allied themselves with the widest political
sects in Europehey openly aheted the saDguinary
break OF the German democrats in Vienna, and their
cause is stained with the arocous assassinations of
Lamberg and of Iaour Their present object is not to vim
dicaie their own freedom and Independence as to lay the
entire Austrian empire PROSTATE under the ascendency of
the Magyars and for this purpose the martial arisocacy
of that nation has scuped ally itself with all that
most exaggerated in the democratic party of the day
Whether it be at Pesth, Frankfort Rome, the prnc-

The French government by It's conduct at home, and
It's intervention in itily-he Prussian government by its
rupture with Frankforthe Austrian government by
It's sstance to Hungary-are endeavoring to main
tain the same principle of resistance; and if any

England and France in political experience it is that in

be hoped that in the event of order being restored by
these necessary exertlons the respective governments
will acknowledge that the permanent security of their
domnons and Of Europe can only be secured By nstitu
tons adapted to the real wants Of the people This prin-
cpe has been formally adopted by the Prussan govern
ment, and Count Bandenburg has annoupced in note
powerful and Ineligible as the last, his intention OF
calling upon all the governments of Germany to meet at
Berlin for the purpose of aestng the progress of the
revolution, and OF agreeing upon new and elclen fed
era constitution for Germany.
In Hungary the question is still purely military. for
when the last advces left Pesth the position of the two
armies such that no conditions could reasonably be
offered the enemy, accepted by the imperial
rial army the first care Of Weldon was to withdraw il
from position OF considerable danger. His right wing
under the Ban continued to operate to the SOUTH 80 as to
prevent Dembnski or Benz (who expected to
arrive headquartes from crossing the Danube in force
below Pesh. His left wing. consisting OF $4,000 men
and "a guns under Gen Wohlgemuth still covers the
Gran and opposes the progress of the division under
Georgey with which fought the other day
ton Of IT hours But the main body of the imperial
army has retired to Babolua, place lying about 10 miles
south of the Danube, between Raab and Komorn in
undulating country
unless the enemy should find means to cross the Danube,
and if Dembnski does the Danube he will in his
turn be placed in critical situation For at the very
time when matters were in this position, Kossuh would
receive positive intelligence of the advance of the Russian
army on the North and East whilst Weldon expected
have received reinfocements and recruited his army
sufficiently TO resume offensive operations on the LIST of
May. Unless, therefore, the Hungarian corps under
Geogey has been able to annihate the Imperial division
reason to anticipate that the Hungarians will not be abe

these events, although it is extremely difficult to follow
them glance to their more remote political conse-
quences. Butwhst we deeply regret the violence which
has converted Just national in instances into
desperate revolution, and threatens to render than
one government dependent the support it may receive
evils as contrary to the principles Of true freedom and in
dependence yet is source OF satisfaction, and OF hope
for the peace of Europe that between the OF
various nations from that of the French republic to that
of the Russian autocrat there is essential difference
of policy All are equally anxious to avoid war; all
equally desrods put down anarchy and there never
was time when the statesmen and armies OF Europe
were less disposed to turn against each other
The cause OF these and contests which aict the
world is everywhere the samenot, Of old the crimes
or the ambitions of soveregns but the ignorance and the
passions of the people, nsgaed by those revolutionary
emissaries who make political their profession
That is the party which originally knded the war in Den
mark-whch mpeed Charles Albert to break the arms
tice-which attacked Genoa, and has seized Leghorn-
and which has filled SO many cities in the past year with
blood and mourning. Hating war, hating confusion,
eye That the restoration OF the public tranquility depends
on the defeat of these rash assaans They have against
them not only all the governments but an me engnen
Europe; and we in the ultimate success Of the good
cause in which every part OF the continent which has
been attacked by these disorders is equally concerned
