The complicated organization of the Austrian |
Government, in it's highest circles, prevents, even
IN the present critical state Of the Empire, an!
decisive and speedy action. While the movement
in Hungary is extending ia breadth and depth
with fearful rapidly the central authorities 10 net
know what to do. Like She old woman OF the
nursery RHYMES they know Of no other way 10
calm the excitement of the population than TO
rhip them soundly and to put them to bed. ia
ron vey, tie Hungarian Chancellor, beng aesent
in Hungary, the German Ministers, frightened by
ih,, report of collisions al Debreczin, Watzen,
and Eperies, proposed the reestablshment OF tue
state OF siege, the only means for suencing the
,retensions of the HungaTians. Still, they did not
dare under the present difficulties, to make use OF
xo dangerous a measure, which might at once lead
tn a revolution, They therefore adjourned their
revolution until the return of the Chancellor
In Hungary in the meanwhile the Imperial eagle II
here broken and insulted, and IN Croatia every
German inscription on shops or Government build-
inys ia draced while in both countries the Austrian
eias have been warned 10 leave for their own c0un
try as soon possible. Over one thousand families Oi
Austrian Bohemian, MOrayian Stynan and German
officials have already packed up their household
goods and without waiting for IA regular dismissal
barbarous Hungarians and CrOats, who show no
gratitude toward those who have 1eeced them Tor
full ten years The counties meet one after the
other aud declare unanimously that they VIII clng
10 the laws OF 1915.
The Government sees no possibility Ofresisting such
a pressure and so much the more since the agta-
ZION extends nOw TO the sOcaled hereditary proyin-
ces The charters granted 10 them were always very
unsatisfactory They gave one third only OF the rep
IesetaOn To the towns, and even here IL was 10 De
the Town Council which had To elect the men,
beIs OF the Diet exclusively from among the Town
Councillors Now il is known that Town COun-
ellis in Austria ale not elected by the citizens, bat
that the surviving members themselves I'll oil the va
caucics of the municipal body. Underthe pressure
Of public opinion however, the Town Councils OF
many Syrian and Bohemian towns have re-
signed their trusts, and the Government some
what alarmed by this new feature, has ordered
new elections iD all the towns of the non Hungarian
provinces, with the exception OF Nenetia, GaIlca,
aud the Buk0vina. These new elections were 10 be
held on the basis of the Electoral Law Of lc49,
which is liberal enough, and, until now has had but
great fault, viz: that il was stl-born and had
never been put in activity
We may soon hear of greater agitation from those
provinces, since We are credlby informed that the
citizens prefer the radical members OF the Diet
of 1915 and 60 for wealthy Independent noble
men, not for the placehunters whom the government
Journals always honor with the name Of 3" the real
" representatives of the middle classes"
While Austria is thus drifting toward a revolution,
Napoleon is eXeTting himself 10 the utmost TO pre-
serve peace for at least eighteen months and IN order
To prevent Italy from being prepared IN the Spring 10
make ali attack upon Nenetia he stu protects the
fortress of Gaeta from any attack the part of the
Italian fleet. Still il is more probable that the hey
10 this strange way of keeping up the principle Of
nOn-intervention, lies in q different quarter Prince
LucieD MuTat has again rushed into PRINT, eyi-
IDENTITY not without the permission of his Imperial
cousin. 1t seem now pretty clear that Napoleon
desires to play Francis H. against Victor Emanuel,
IN order 10 put Nurat on the throne of Naples. As
long as BOmbinO remains at Gaeta, aud as long as
his troops conveyed 10 the Roman territory, are
sent in bands with the knowledge of the French
and papal authorities across the frontiers TO make
q guerilla warfare in the Abruzz the ex-
Kingdom Of Naples cannot be pacfed. 1t IL now
possible that the PiedmOntese Generals in q fit OF
impatence, may proclaim martial law, applying II
not only 10 a certain village or town actually III
iDsurrecton but to larger districts aud provinces,
perhaps 10 all the Kingdom
This is the very thing upon which Napoleon cal
culates for stepping ill., in the name of right and hui
IaIlity in order 10 say "Garlbaldl's easy success
''has sufficiently proved il that the BOurbOns have
%'no pOpularity-that their rule has been unani-
''mOusly rejected. Garibaldi's total uuftness for
government has been officially proclaimed by Count
"CavOur and FariD; but events show now that
seven those greatest statesmen of Italy likewise
unable 10 introduce anything ike regular free
government into the southern kingdom of Italy |
80 This shows clearly that the fusion Of Italy into
one body is either impossible, or at any rate pre-
mature. Accordingly, since neither Francis ii. |
amor Victor Emanuel enjoys the confidence of the |
AZ NeapOlitans must try Lucien Murat." And |
the French feet and the 40, 600 French soldiers at
Rome sufficiently strong enough to back such a
policy and raise young Lucen 10 the throne Of bis
grandfather. This is possible result of the fatal
tcud between CayOur and Garibaldi.
England is still trying to persuade Austria that
she has interest III keeping Veneta under her
yoke aud that timely sale of the Inflated Province
would at once restore, at least to extent,
her ruined fnances-(ber tive-per-Oents were
quoted on the Sd Of Dec. at 421 at FrankiOrt) |
and hberate her from an inevitable load which
may prove fatal TO the Empire Still, the obstnacy
of Francis Joseph makes bin dumb with regard TO
any such propositions. He declares that his honor
does not permit him to cOGntenance, even by listen
ing 10 such proposals, the opinion that he ever would
sell province inherited by him for money. He
may lose it by arms but never part with IT for u
