IN state Of defence rs also Pola, where
the dock yard Of the Austrian navy is situ-
ated. He thus saved to Austria that navy
which, however, is not powerful now, and
was far less so at that time. This was lis
most remarkable, if not his only exploit.

public Offices and OH diplomatic service

lay, who died in 1881, had more military
experience than him, btt did not meet with
