their march, and tho Russians will drive the
Turks, with al their seraglios, out of Europe,
aud the cross will again rest on the churches of
Constan tinople where the crescent now is. All
the money lent by England, and all the Chris
tian blood shed, will not save the Turks; they,
with tho Mormons, who alike degrade noble
woman, must and will be driven beyond tho
limits of Christian rulers and civilization.
D. Another writer says: In Moldo- Wallachia,
In Servia, In Montenegro, tho influence of
France and Russia has reused cemmotion
which even they will find il difficult to allay.
The Turkish Empire Is now in ainore dangerous
state than in 1928 or 1910, and a heightened
war can hardly fail to produce dangerous com
plications. In fact, the northern provinces Of
the Ottoman Empire are just as far gono in
excitement as Sardinia and Tuscany were six
months ago; and when we see what few
weeks have brought forth, wo can not but look
anxiously in this new direction. In the mean
time, Turkey, poor and exhausted by the lato
war, with hardly remnant of her lately re-
spectacle navy, is as little rs possible ready to
engage in military operations against her in
surgent provinces.
HUNGARIANs IN THE AUSTRIAN ARMY.-Every
fourth man, some say every third, in the Aus
trian lines, is Hungarian. So long as Hungary
remains tranquil these men will continue polit-
ically passive, and rogimentally loyal. But
let the standard of revolt once be raised on the
sides of the Carpathians, and let the Hunga-
rian soldicry in Austrian uniforms hear il said
in their own language that their country is
once more the scene Of civil war; and those who
know them best believe that mutiny and deser-
ton will spread through tho Austro- italian
army like wldhre. There is a very uneasy
feeling on this score at Vienna. Tho other
day when addresses Of devotion and loyalty
we're presented to the Emperor, Francis Jo-
seph, by the mobiles and clergy of the various
other provinces of the Empire, tho Hungarians
were silent, and no effort that could be made
through the local authorities, would induce
them to mako any move in the matter. The
Government of Austria still clings to the hope
of being able to foreo Prussia into alliance
with her, through the intervention of the
smaller German States. ... r....-.
BATTLE OF MoYTEBELLo.--It is reported that
Captain Jerome Bouaparte was in command
of the ch0SseurS ut this battle, and did wonders
of vaor. The battle was fought about twenty
miles from the French head quarters at Ales-
sandria, and as tho fighting closed at O'Clock
in tho evening, the Emperor did not hear Of it
till carly the following morning. Ho immcdi-
ately started on visit to the ground, and, in
company with Marshal paraguay dHilliers, in
spected il in detail. He embraced the brave
General Forey, who was slightly wounded, and
recognized among tho wounded Austrian Off
GERS one who had been introduced to him last
winter Mt the Tuileries. He eordered the wounded
to the Hospital at Alessandria, while the pris-
oners were directed upon Marseiles, to be con-
fined in an interior fortress Of Frances The
Emperor gave the prisoners money before they
left.
THE AUSTRIAN PosITIoN IN ITAJY.-The
Austrian base Of operations in Italy, the
strongest ip the world, is the line of the Adige,
tuhop .ruNforiiGad ,,rnfanfad ba
immortal operationsspof General Bonaparte,
and ought to-day to Bo impregnable if its de-
tenders are equal to their position. The Adige
is the only afluent of the Po which can never
be forded. At the point Of its emergence from
the gorges Of the Tyrol stands tho famous for
tress of Verona, domineering over oil the
affluents on the left bank of the Pc, and over
the Po itself. Since 1850 this formidable for
tress has been strengthened by new detached
forts, the latest of which on the nights of Santa
Lucia, memorable fer Radetzky's first defen-
sive battle in 1913, were last year constructed.
The only passage Of the Adge to the South at
Legnano is also fortified. Before reaching the
Adige the line Of the Mincio must be forced in
coming from the west. This is protected by
two fortresses of the first rank, Pescrera and
Mantua. On its right this position is sup
ported by the mountains of the Tyrol, whose
passes are guarded by Brescia and Rocca
d'Anfo, and on its left by the Po, which can be
easily made to inundate its banks, and so pro-
tect the fortress of Ferrara. Brescello finally,
with Piacenza and Pizzighettone protect both
banks of the Po and the AIDA. But the great
security Of Austria in Italy is the Tyrol. The
whole Tyrol is now one vast place darmes,
from which it will not be easy to drive Austria
out. On its northern decliyity the Tyrol is
protected by Salsburg Kufstein and the pass
of Lueg; on the southern declivity by Bornuo,
| Eister- Num-, and Franzen-stein. In the real
of all lies Venice with her sea-batteries and
| her citadel .. .... % ......
