IN proportion as the Court of Vienna connects
itself with the Western Powers and recedes from
that of Russia, ii relinauishes the system Of an
alliance which was based exclusively on the
narrowest maxims of absolute government, and
approaches a policy infinitely more calculated
to establish nlu6ual confidence and content be

suth appears to consider such result q great
evil, and breaks out in fresh vituperation at the
bare idea that the house of Hapsbnrg should be
IN capable of a wise and patriotic action.
"a But those who desire to see the Government
of q great Empire conducted with moderation
and success, and who think that more is to be
gained for the cause of real improvement by the
progress of the nation than by the inourslons OF
sedition, will see cause to rejoice ut any change
favorable to q more liberal policy and to the
Western Alliance. One of the very hrst acts Of
the young Emperor as lie shook off the influence
of Russia, vas to abolish martial law IN the
Eastern provinces of his Empire; and, although

Francis Joseph may rely with confidence on ths
Glshty. not only ofevery regiment in his army.
but of every province in his dominions. Through
ont the country the popularity of the Govern
ment has increased o hundred fold as the anti.
Russian policy of the Court became more clear
and distinct; and, with the exception of thai
small band OF indictments who would be glad t.
throw Austria under the feet Of Russia for the
sole purpose of gratifying their own vindictive
passions against her, we believe that her entire
population are ready for the support of the
Crown in alliance against Russia with the West
ern Powers.
No doubt the disappointment and mortifcas y
tion of M. Kossuth and his accomplces are eS-
tremely great at such destruction of theil
hopes. They had confidently relied on the out
break of hostilities to set the world in flames,
and to spread all over the continent the horrors
Of revolutionary war. For this purpose it was
essential, not only that Austria should be the
/ object Ut their attacks, but that France and
England should De 1eagued against her, and
prepared to favor the internal disruption of tht
Empire. But the result has shown that then
expectations were as futile and their informa
ton as incorrect on this point, as they have
proved to be on 50 many others.
