TIE bnrafaced dnnhla.deal.

ceding humatons Of Austria, her daily increasing
difficulties OF home and abroad, had first rendered
possible. The interviews of Baden aud Iepla
sealed that alliance. Prussis, for the first time
acting as the representative Of the rect OF Ger
many, promised her assistance in case Austria vas
attacked, not Only BY Italy, but BY France also;
while Austria promised to make concessions to
public opinion, and change Der internal policy.
Here was indeed hope for Francis Joseph. A
fight with Italy siDgle-handed he might not fear,
even in case of troubles in Hungary, for his new
policy was to be the bes. guaranty of security 10
that quarter. With separate Constitution based
upon the one abolished in l849, Hungary would
have been satisfied; liberal Constitution for the
whole Of the Empire would have fulfilled the
present wishes of the German Eucleus OF the mon
archy, and couuteracted in great measure the
separate tendencies Of the Slavonlc prov
noes. The frances once under popular
control, public credit would have recovered itsel
and the same Austria, now weak, poor, PROSTATE,
exhausted and prey to internal divisions would
have soon regained strength under the projection
of the 700, COO bay onets which Germany held ready
10 defend her. To insure all this, but two things
we're required of Austria: to follow up genuine
liberal rolicy OF home, sincerely and without re-
serve, ard to remain on the defensive IN Venice,
abandoning the remainder of Italy to its fate.
But neither the one nor the other, it appears,
can or will Francis Joseph do. He can
neither throw overheard his power as an absolute
monarch, which is every day being dissolved more
and more into yapor, nor can he forget that posi-
ton of protector of the petty Italian tyrants, which
he has already lost. Insincere, weak, and obsti-
nate at the same time, be seems to fly from his In
ternal difficulties to an aggressive war abroad, and
rather than cement his Empire by the sacrifice of
power which is slipping from his hands, he appears
to have thrown himself once more into tie arms OF
his personal cror les, and to be preparing descent
into Italy which MAJ end in the breaking up OF
the Austrian monarchy.
There may or there may not be note or other
communication sent from Vienna to Turin, or the
subject of GaIlbaldi's landing IN Calabrla; but It
is quite prob able that Francis Joseph las made up
lis mind to consider this landing case for S IL
teryention 10 favor of the KiCg OF Naples. Whether
this be true, we shall soon see. But what can DO
the cause of this sudden revulsion Of Austrian
policy? Has the recent determination With Plus
sia and Bavaria turned the head of FraLca Joseph!
1t is not hkey for, after all, that determination OF
Teplitz was a humiliation for him. and triumph
for Prussia only. Does Fraucis Joseph intend to
collect VI der his standard the armies OF the Pope
ard Of the King of Naples before Garibaldi has
shattered them to atoms and incorporated their
Italian elements with bis OWL followers? That
would be very insufficient motive. In aby cam
psign whatever, these troops will want for nothing,
while, in TIE position in which Austria will place
herself by such foolish aggression, she viii want
for every thing. There can be no sther cause
for it than the state of internal Austrian
politics. And here we have not to seek
long. TIE Council of the Empire, reinforced
by some of the most conservative and arstOcratlc
elements of.the different Provinces, and intrusted
in time Of peace, with the control OF the
frances Of the country, il about to discuss the
question of popular representation and constitu-
tons for the Empire and the single provinces CON-
posing it. The motions made to this effect BY the
Hun earian members have an overwhelming ma
ority in the Committee, and will be passed in the
same triumphant manner in the Council, IN the
face of the Government In one word the second
Austrian RerolutiOn SEEMS to hare set IN. The
Council of the Empire-a weak counterfeit of the
French NOtables-exactly as they did, declares
itself incompetent, and calls for the States Gen.
eIal. The Government, in the same financial
difficulties as that Of Louis XVI, and weaker still
by the dlvergng tendencies of the various nation
alities composing the Empire, is not in position
to resist. Concessions wrested from the Govern
ment ale sure to be followed by fees and demands.
The States General soon formed themselves into
the National Assembly. Francis Joseph feels the
ground tremble under his feet, and to escape from
the impending earthquake will perhaps fly into
war.
If Francis Joseph acts up to his menace, COM
mencipg crusade for Legitimacy in Naples and
the Papal States, what will be the end of it
There is not Power or State in Europe which
has the slightest interest in the m ,iutenance of
the BVuIbQus, aud if Francis Joseph interferes in
tier behalf, he will have to bear the conse-
quences. Louis Napoleon is sure to cross the
Alps in defense Of uon-inteIyention; and Aus
tia, with the public opinion of all Europe dead
against her, with ruined finances, instruction
ia Hungary aud brave but far outnumbered
army, will be fearfully beaten. Perhaps she will
receive her DEATH blow. AS to Germany conicg
to her aid, it is perfectly out Of the question. The
Germans will most decidedly declioe to fight either
for the King Of Naples or for the Pope. They
will take care to have the territory Of the Con-
