h;.,orv Of twelve years, and to inspire confidence
=. rsor,e who have been deliberately oppressed
md systematically robbed of money honor, and
liberty, these concessions have failed IN rousing
Che Hungarians to anything like enthusiasm
And the Hungarians were right, since the plausi-
hle preamble by which the Imperial grants ore
preceded, is not exactly in keeping with the
details of the official documents. In fact, the
old Provinces of the Empire do not get
more than promise Of a Constitution,
and the bases Of their representative system
Their Diets have no decisive, but only debbera-
tive powers, and the Emperor, though bound to
hear them, is under no obligation to accept their
advice. As TO Hungary, her integrity IS not yet
resstablshed. The question of the union or sep
aratiou of Croatia and Of the VoyOdina is yet
10 be discussed, and depends upon Interior con-
alterations. Besides, though the old hungarian
Constitution is rec ,nized as being in full veor'
the Diet has no right to lock into the budget,

and not even the liberty of the press is granted.
Thus the Constitution remains without any guar
snty. 1t is not the cid Constitution, bat
modification of the old institutions. Besides
There is a new institution created, the Council OF
che Emnire which stands between the Diets and
The Emperor. thus multiplying any possible op-
position. and delaying every legislative action.
The concessions were received at Pesth with
great apathy. Some few windows of the officials
were illuminated but the mob broke them, and
made q most tremendous uprOar. On the 2Sd,
Che Municipality ordered great Illumination oil
over the town, but Gen. BeDedek, fearing rep
ettion of the disturbances, invited the municipal
fly aud the citizens to devote the sums destined for
the illumination TO the necessities OF The army.
Thus we see the old centralizng institutions of Aus
tria broken up, but the new concessions are met
with difidence since nobody can trust the word OF
Francis Joseph who in lS45 abolished the Hunga-
nan Constitution and in 1851 destroyed that
granted by himself in March, lo49.
After tins complete failure OF reconciliation the po-
ston Of Austria becomes critical than before.
The last remedy for cOnurng the storm Is tried and
found wanting, and we may now therefore, safely
prophecy the downfall Of that il-ass0rted Empire.
Here, in Italy, the grant of the Constitutions was
taken for sign presagng an immediate war, and 40

In the south OF the peninsula, the position was
rather critical. Count CayOur, however, with the

seems, however, TO have cooled down considerably,

ponderanee This is the gst of the article, which
plainly iDtinates that in Of an Austrian agrees
sion the French would once more cross the Alps.
The Constitutional winds up with proposition to
assemble Congress for the final arrangement Of
the Italian question.
While Austria is thus abandoned by France, the
Conferences Of Warsaw do not seem to hold out any
better promise. Francis Joseph hoped for recon-
structon of the Holy Alliance, but instead of such
m issue, the Imperial meeting separated without
coming to any serious resolution. There were
dinner parties military reviews, official visits, and
theatrical representations; but no protest
signed no agreement concluded, no promise given
20 Austria, and not even the Pope and the King of
Naples got word Of comfort from Warsaw. The
hopes Of Francis Joseph having thus been bafled,
the concentration Of troops in Venetia loses its i'm
p0rtaDce. 1t leads to greater expenditure, per-
haps TO bankruptcy, but not TO war; Still, the Pope
has not yet parted with his illusions, MerOde, his
Minister of War, continues to enlist troops for his
Holiness; and many prisoners OF war, taken by the
Piedmontese and dismissed with too great magma
nimity, have returned to Rome to enter once more
INTO the POntifcal service. Even officers found
who broke their parole and returned to the Papal
army. But all these mpOtent, agOizng move
ments viii not delay the downfall Of the Papal
throne By next Spring, if not before both the Pope
and the French will have evacuated Rome, which is
70 become the capital of the new Italian kingdom. In
Naples the universal suffrage resulted in nearly
unanimous vote for the annexation to the zone and
"indiNsble kingdom Of Italy Of Victor Emanuel;"
and the vote of Sicily lie comparatively still heavier
than thai of Naples, where many persons abstained
from casting their ballot into the ballOt-bOx.
The military operations are continued with great
energy. The English legion got on the l9tl before
Capua the baptism Of blood and fire. and the new
volunteers distinguished themselves by thei: cool
bravery. Gen. Cialdin, after the battle of Jernis

military command and to retire again into private
life, until the war with Austria shall cal him once
more TO the field Of action. The King, however,
will do his best to keep him from taking that step,
and will endeayor to retain him in the command OF
