THE MILITARY SYSTEM AND PRESENT po-
SITION OF AUSTRIA.
From the London Times June 291
There period IN tho lives of empires rs Of indiyidu

Is heard no longer and when the occasions they have
mssed and the opportunities they have infused scourge
them with vengeance only the more bitter that II has
been long delayed such the times which have come
a. last upon the great and powerful empire OF Austria
She not only did much evil but the evil which she did
was done upon system and according to precedent
she had, as every human being or aggregate Of
human beings has, clearly laid before her the differ
ent elements or power and success, the spiritual and
the material, the ennoblng and the degrading the
progressive aud the obstructive, and she deliberately
cbose tie latter BY no means negligent Of the
welfare OF the great Of hsr Subjects has con-
rived to disgust and ALLEVIATE the feelings Of all who rose
N Tue least above the taest mediocrty who thought

was her idol and she fell down worshpped in the
Dust BY the coareest methods by beating with the stick

throughout her wide domiDions the superiority the
oaser over the nober parts of man. She has literature

extorted admraion and become q sort of IDOL to
thoee who despair Of the destines of humanity
and believe that men are sheep TO be heeced, or
cattle to be driven by the stronger But we are lust be-
ginning 10 see the real NOR al meaning of all this and
1t IL too instructive to be passed over in silence.
Austria trusted in her army. 1t composed, to bs

the imperial government all hostile to each

manuueres oil war; snd 1t was surrounded wherever il
went by most elaborate system of fertilization The
time Of trial has arrived, and how has this enormous
machine, to support which the empire has been de-
populated and the finances ruined, borne the strain
and tension Of actual hostilifesS 1t has been

military evoluons, but because this mass was d.
rected by intelligence of ORDER and was deficient in
that activity. self reliance and power OF spontaneous &C.

matter hare met together and matter has been shattered in
the conflict Brute force has been match for intelligent
vaor and the most obstinate endurance has yielded be-
fore the onslaught Of enemy who knows what victory

Now it is a.suredly not the interest Of England that

change OF system ought no longer deferred. The
army caDrot be remoceed in the presence of an active
and enterprspg enemy but at any rate the couree of
domestic dlscontent and disunon may be arrested A
few well timed concessions might render HUNGARY the
strength instead OF the weakness OF the Empire, might
enable Austria to laugh TO scon the threats Kozsuth

The real attachment Of provinces north of the Alps
