Such is the Specification of certain simultaneous
events at Agram, at Carowltz and in the capital of
Bohemia
The committee of our Diet have considered the charte

answer was, that he would allow such thing to
be done and that he would rather resign his post than
a less polite one given by General Todorovch who
insisted that the Princes plenpotentary should leave

The Violent dissolution of the Diet has done its
! work at Prague. The public reconciliation of the
| two leaders of the Czechish and German parties
the refusal of Paackz to assist the cabinet in fra
ming the provincial constitution for Bohemia, and
his return to Prague-and the violent attacks of the
CZechsh and South Sclavonic press against Aus
tria-bear witness to the slight hold which the ca
bnet of Olmutz has on the sympathies of Sclavo-
nians-the only men who can protect it in the hour
of danger. And here lies the salvation of Hungary.

tria cannot levy any more troops-nor Is she equal

The Eject OF the Defeat Of Charles Albert

| The worst consequences OF the defeat and over
throw of the King ~f Sardinia will not be felt in his
domnions. However exhausted by military con-

mont is too near to France to admit the return of

Italy that the victory of Novara will have untoward
effects twill encourage the King Of Naples to
put down the representative system altogether and
must obstruct the. hopes of the princes, of Rome
and Tuscany coming to an amicable and rational
understanding with the people Nothing will now
content the conclave of Gaeta but the unconditional
submission of the Romans and Tuscans; and both
will have to return under the domination, not of a
| moderate constitutional, but of vindlctive
and reactonary ~arty
and suffering, the sitting of every human senti-

revolution would bring the most inveterate OF our

this can never produce the pacfcaton of Italy; but

The present is the time, therefore, for England
by the restoration of the old Italian despotism they
| do but morally lay open Italy to French lnterfer-
| ence and lnfuence-to represent to France that by
Ginning in with Austrian views they become abb
horred in Italy and condemned at home-and to rep
resent the united Italians that is only by mo-
derate conduct and constitutional demands they
can make themselves entitled to the tolerance and
moral moral support OF those governments which are
With regard to Tuscany, matters might not be
difficult of adjustment; for there, amidst the
greater portion of the population, the Grand Duke
is beloved and though his policy may not have
been either consistent wise, still his restoration
would spare the country the horrors of Austrian
| intervention, whilst from prince so mid and so
benign no personal vndlctveness or political re-
action of bgot or atroclous kind could be ex-
peced. Nothing, indeed, but folly on both sides
| could have separated prince and people whose
ideas and interests so little at variance as those
| of the Tuscans and their Grand Duke.
In Rome, unfortunately, the case Is far different.
There according TO the traditional regime, it is
not prince that rules, but corporaton-a sacer-
dotal corporation or college of prlests-whosc sole

| conception of the horrors and iniqalty OF the GO
vernment which delivers over the lay and indus
trious population and their families into the power
of the priesthood: The entire system OF the Ko-
man government is network OF espionage, rob-
berry, corruption, lnquisltlon, and murder. Being
in complete possession of the administration, the
police the courts of Justice (lf they deserve the
name) of the confessional and even Of municipal
authority, the Roman priesthood turn all and every
influence te their own personal and class aggran-
dizement. Against whomsoever opposes them, or
calls in question their dogmas, there can be no

are small samples of the intolera.le tyranny and
corruption of the priestly government OF Rome.
The population of the Roman States have but one
DESIRE which is to escape from the temporal domi-
nation of the Pope, not Pope, but as head OF the
college of cardinals and priests. They have had
abundant proof, that no Pope, however liberal and
well-intentoned, can free either them or himself
from this fearful domination Plus the Ninth did
his best. And had he had the power or will to exc

is well known that the constitution remained
dead letter in the hands OF Plus, that he reformed
