MAsIFRsIo OF THE EMPEROR or AUSTRIA.
When ell concessions that were allowable, and
compatible with the dignity Of the crown and the
homer and welfare Of the country, have been ex-
hsusted, and when all attempts at paeiGc arrange
ment have miscarred, there is no room for choice,
and what cannet be avoided becomes duty.
This duty placed me under the stern necessity of
demanding from ny people new and painful sac
rices in order to place ia state Of defence their
most sacred interests My faithfal people have re-
/ sponded to my appeal; they have pressed forward
ananimously in defence Of the throne, and they
! haye made the sacrifices Of every kind demanded
! by circumstances with an eegerness which merits
my gTaiitude-Which augments, if possible the pro-
I found affections which feel for them-aud which

= The valiant army of Austria has Ia this instance
again given proofs of its tried herOism and its IN

mics, in spite Of the greatest eforts in spite of the

been preparing for the conflict have been able even

Under these conditions it was nv duty as a SOW

Consequences of this continuance Of the war would
have been so much the heavier, because should

What viii Gsribaldi and Kossuth say to this

hear Of some act expressive Of his sentiments. OF
Kossuth we have private Information, which, as it

we're preparing to proceed to Italy, and TO have
departed to-day, but the news Of the peace treaty
arrested their preparations. On Thursday evening
they received telsgrsphic dispatch from NJ. Kos
