THE STATE OF EUROPE

The alliance between Austria and the Western
Powers is not yet sealed still Lord Aberdeen in ser
vile Irritation with Francis Joseph the young hopeof
"bis country" does not despair to get hold Of him.
Itis strange to perceive that France has no objece
ton against the Austrian alliance, since Austria and
France have for centuries past always been anago-
pists and all the traditions of French glory, ever
since the sixteenth century, connected with the
humiliation of Austria. And that antagOnism is not
fictitious il is the natural result OF their geograph
cal position toward Italy, which lies midway be-
tween them France cannot allow Austrian influence
to become paramount in the Pyrenean peninsula, while
Austria is always eager to oppose and to destroy
French ascendancy in Italy. Even in our days the
only official excuse Of the French occupation Of Rome
was the prevention OF an Austrian occupation Be-
sides the dynas,ic interests of Napoleon have only
two enemies to fcar-Legitmacy and Revolution
But Legitimacy and divine right are just as much the
basis of the House of Hapsburg the principle of the
peoples sovereignty is the basis of all Bonapartist
pretensons. How these antagonistic principles
ever be reconciled Napoleon |. tried it by marrying
an Austrian Archduchess but the Emperor Francis,
his father inaw turned not only against the French
Emperor at the very first opportunity but even against
his own grandson the of Napoleon, and deprived
him of the throne of France in order TO reestablsh
the divine right Of the ,ourbons As TO Revolution,
IN Austrian alliance with France gives its direction

The Alliance with the Western Powers and a rup

Francis Joseph against his people while Russia either
can stir them up or crush them. Besides, the army

ment of Haynau at the brewery of Messrs. Barclay &
Perkins was such an insult to the point dhonneur'
of the Austrian officers that they cannot forgive it,
At the funeral of the Duke of Wellington the Austrian
army was not represented though he had held the
rank of an Austrian Field Marshal II is therefore
not very probable that such alliance could be
cuded and if it should be made, it cannot be sin
