Austria in the mean while, is sinking day by day
aato lower depth of disrepute. First came her
military failure on the Sesia, at Magenta at Pa
<.snrn which remained undeiended, and at Solfe-
Yipo. The world saw that she was unable to hold
her OWE against France. In less than ten weeks,
pAe lost the richest Of her provinces py the
stupiSity Of her high-born generals; but even TINS
aeseat would not induce her to give up system by
which the highest commands in the army are the
priviiege Of the highest arstocracy. The Prince OF
Hess. brother 10 the CLarina of Russia, has re-
Gently been appointed commander OF an army corps
After the military failure followed the Admlnistra-
6on failure. Baron Bach, who always pretended
TO be Liberal and Democrat, because IN le45 ne
had headed the mob in the streets of Vienna, and
was borne BY the revolution into the Ministry, but
who continually complained of the shackles which
prevented him from doing good, while he had al

De able at some time TO lay the foundations
Of freedom has at last published bus decree for the
organization of the municipalities. This was his
ytsIkins-horse for full ten years, and he always
spoke of il, when his former friends reminded him
a his promises. 1t appeared at last as the means
for regenerating AUSTRIA and 1t proves stubborn,
Vie four hundred paragraphs which introduced lts
complicated organization, establishing an endless
number of officials controlling the inhabitants. and
another set of officials for the control OF the former
set, which again was to be dependent upon the
officials of the Central Government, fall like
nightmare upon the different provinces 1t
was soon discovered that the municipal ex-
penditure would be increased tenfod by the
new system, fact about which the Govern
nent seemed 10 care little. The Minister OF Fl
nance however, demonstrated that the increase OF
municipal taxation would impair " the faculty OF
"paying imperial taxes" (steaerdhigken), and
accordingly Baron Bach was shelyed, and with hun
Ms municipal organization. Not frightened by the
rishap Of his friend and colleague, Count Thun, the
Minister of Public Worship and Education, issued
his organization Of the Protestant churches IN hun
eary, accompanied by hourishes in all the papers OF
soufhern Germany about the hberaity OF the Aus
THAN Government in matters of religion, and about
the rent made By this decree in the Concordat.
But the much lauded organization, praised
even BY the senile Lord Brougham, who
had not read il, was also stubborn. Inc
Protestants Of Hungary unanimously refused
to accept IL as robbing them oftheir most cherished
and legally established liberties. They declared
that they would remain in their present precarous
hwess condition rather than 10 acquiesce In an OF
canzation which would put them at the mercy OF
Ultramontane Count Thun and the Jesuits. Inc
bold speeches of Messrs. Zsedenyi, Tlsya, Lonyay,
and Others at the meeting of the Protestant Churches
considerably alarmed the drowsy Government al
Vienna; and they begin to feel that the des-
pondency Of the Hungarans, the result OF the
day of Villages has now worn of, and that new
spirit is animating them. But while they were
deberating about the serious aspect OF AFFAIRS and
ssking counsel from their very enemies, VINO, OF
course, refused TO give it, and visiting even the
Lunatic Asylum in order TO ascertain the opinion

inmate Of it. new and heavier blow was struck at
the despotie system of Vienna. Baron Rruck, the
clever Minister Of Finances, who had TO provide Tor
the sinews Of war during the Italian campaign,
having failed 70 negotiate loan at London,
had recourse TO q very simple financial opera
ton. Without saying word TO the moneyed
aliases in Europe, he fabricated new certificates oil
the so-caled National Loan, raised in 1855, and fixed
ut 500 COO 600 forms, aud sold them on the different
Exchanges of the continent 70 the sum OF no.
COO 600 forms. This step received the sanction OF
the Emperor who very much admired the ingenuity
Of his Minister in discovering 30 easy method OF
raising money secretly, without bankers commas
Aien and disageeable higghng, just when he had
failed TO do it by public loan. Still, such step
could not long remain secret The Dutch got
alarmed at the continually increasing number
Of the certificates of the National Loan in the hands
Of the Austrian brokers, and suspected that the
Mesauiques had likewise been tempered with. Baron
Bruck therefore made clean breast OF It, and
ayowed his peculiar mode of raising the wind; little
expecting the storm which would follow the an
nouncement The credit of Austria was at once
ruined both at Frankfort and Amsterdam, the only
places where Austrian securities had still any credit
The money articles Of The Loadon Times demand
TIE instantaneous dismissal Of the Minister, and
even the Vienna papers complain OF the want OF
good faith in the dealings Of the Ministry of Finance
remarkable analogy manifests itself between the
state of the Austrian Empire in 1859 and that Of
