revolutionary force was broken; the class-strug-
Gle between Bourgeois and Proletarian had come,
in Vienna too, TO bloody outbreak, and the
counter-revoutionary Camarilla saw the day
approaching on which it might strike Its grand
blow.
The Hungarian affairs very soon offered an
opportunity to proclaim openly the principles
upon which it intended to act. On the 9Th OF
October an imperial decree in the Vienna official

Hungarian Diet dissolved, and named the Ban
Jeachich, of Croatia, civil and military governor
of that country-Jellachich, the leader OF South
Slovenian reaction, a man who was actually at
war with the lawful authorities of Hungary. At
the same time orders were given to the troops in
Vienna to march out and form part of the army
which was to enforce Jellachlchs authority
This, however, was showing the cloven foot too
openly every man in Vienna felt that war upon
Hungary was war upon the principle OF constitu-
tiona government, which principle was in the
very decree trampled upon by the attempt of the
Emperor to make DEGREES with legal force, with

National Guard of Vienna, on the 9th OF October
rose in mass and resisted the departure Of the

popular forces and the troops the minister of
war, Latour, was massacred by the people, and
in the evening the latter were victors. In the

troops that were to march to his support now
took up an ostensibly hostile and defensive po-
sition against him; and the Emperor and court
had again fled to Omutz on -Slavonic ter
ritory.
But at Olmutz, the Court found itself in very
different circumstances to what it had been at
Innspruck. 1t was now in a position to open
Immediately the campaign against the revolution

parts Of the monarchy. The campaign, in their
eyes, was to be war of Slavonlan restoration,
and of determination against the two intruders
upon what was considered Slavonan soil, against
the German and the Magyar Wndischgratz,
the conqueror of Prague, now commander of the
army that was concentrated around Vienna, be-
