expected it has certainly raised the spirit OF the ma

field for their ambition. The miserable failure OF
Ortega has probably put an end to all such enter
prses since it clearly proved that even the districts
most devoted to the old system of Legitimacy
refuse to take the field for the Pretender:
so much the more, since even Count hontemolm has
injured. or at least modified the doctrines, which
from 1915 to 1850 were maintained by the crowned
heads and thei. Ministers. Among the papers
captured by the Spanish authorities proclamation
signed by the Pretender was found, which, to the

TO Germany, she is as divided as she was in the
beginning of the century. Southern Germany
elinps to Austria and gives her reactionary policy
majority at the Federal Diet Of Frankfort; while
Prussia boldly declares that she is able and willing
to protect both the frontiers against the enemy and
public law against despotic Entertainments and dem
ocratc experiments in the different States of the
Fatberland, but that she does not acknowledge the
right of the Frankfort Diet to dictate or direct
PIussan policy This declaration has been enthu-
siastically received by the Diet of Prussia well
ss by the population; the hands of Baron Schleintz
have been strengthened by large majority, and the
emergency Of Prussan and Austrian policy has be-

revived by this new turn in German politics, and
proclaims now the unity of Germany without Aus
tra, German Parliament, and the defense of the
Rhine provinces against French Imperialism, under
the PIussian lead, the goal of the Liberals South

Austria, and the Aagsbug Ga=ette overwhelms
PRUSSIA day after day with reproaches for refusing
to sacrifice the rights of the people of Hessia
to the despOtic exigencies of Austria, and 10
give the guaranty of Germany to her rivals
possession Of Venice. But the friends of
Austria are doomed to suffer one defeat after the

The Government is defed in Hungary; every week
brings news of great popular demonstrations, and
the Government is unable to repress them. Within
this month we had the public funeral of the student
Forinyak, at Pesth, who died in consequence of
wound inflicted by the police on the 18th of March
aud was followed to the grave by ali assemblage as
solemn and numerous as was never seen before.
Then came the suicide of Count Stephen Szechenyi,
and by common accord oil Hungary now wears
mourning for the great Retormer; black flag is
hoisted on the great suspension bridge, and the
Prince Primate of Hungary, Cardinal Scitowsky,
drives the Government mad by inviting the country
to the celebration of religious mourning sOemnity,
to be held on the historic plain Of RaikOs, close to
Pesth where the nation formerly assembled for the
election Of their Kings. A concert for the Croa-
tans sufferers by the famine was also an Op-
portunity for demonstration of the complete una
uimity of all the races inhabitng Hungary; and
the arrival of Hungarian deputatiOn at Agram
the capital of Croatia, produced there such ali en-
tlusissm as has not been witnessed since the days
of Ie4s. The reconciliation between Hungary and
Croatia is now a great fact; even the Ministers Mt
Vienna have been reminded by tofthe failure OF their
system. which, by playing one nationality against
tie other had triumphed for while, but is doomed
now by their union in common hatred against Aus
tra Francis Joseph resolved to change his policy,
and make concessions to Hungary. Still they were
of such an insulting character as to enrage the
Hunearians still more. But the canker which de-
stroys the Empire has manifested itself even in the
Cabinet. The frauds discovered in the department
of the Army Commissariat led first TO the arrest
and suicide Of Gen. Eynatten, then to the arrest OF
Mr. Richter, the official manager Of the Gre
dit Mobilier, and lately to the arrest OF
the Trieste leading bankers, Perugio Brambila, |
MaadOlfo, and ReyolteIa. The house Of Roths- |
