The Emperor OF Austria, frightened by The IN,
creas:ng agitation in Hungary, has taken bold
resolution. and, changing all his system OF gov
eminent. has granted Constitution to the differ
ent provinces OF the Empire, and re-establlshed
the Hungarian Constitution. But. as il is impos-
sible TO wipe out by one stroke Of the pen the
history of twelve years, and 10 inspire confidence
in people who have been deliberately Cypress
ed ard Systematically robbed OF money. honor,
and liberty, these concessions have Jailed IN rous-
ing the Hunsarians IL anything like enthusiasm
And the Hunsarians were hight. since the plaIs-
lille preamble by which the Imperial grants are
preceded. is not exactly in keeping With the &c
tails of tie official documents. la tact. the Old
Provinces OF the Empire 30 rot get more than II
promise OF Constitution, and the bases OF their
representative system. Their Diets have no de- |
cisive but only deliberative powers, and the En-
peror, though bound 10 hear them, is under 10
obligation 20 accept their advice. As TO Hungs- |
nv, her integrity Is not vet re-cstablished. The |
question of the union or separation of Croatia |
and of the Voivodina is yet TO be discussed, and
depends upon Interior considerations. Besides,
though the old Hungarian Constitution is recog-
nzed AS being in full vigor, the Diet has no right
TO look into the budget, 10 vote the taxes, or the
lew of the conscripts; and not even the liberty
of the press is granted. Thus the Constitution
Constitution, but a modification of the old insti-
| ,u,ons. Besides, Their is new Institution ere
ated, the Council Of the Empire, which stands
between the Diet and the Emperor, thus nullity-
| ing any possible opposition, and delaying every
| legislative action. The concessions were receiv-
| ed at Pesth with great apathy. Some few VIII
dows of the officials were illuminated, but the
mob broke them, and made most tremendous
uproar. On the 22d. the Municipality ordered
great Illumination all over town, but Gen. Ben.
educk, fearing repetition of the distuf Dances,
invited the municipality and the citizens TO de-
vote the sums destined for the Illumination to
the necessities of the army. Thus We see the
old centralizing institutions of Austria broken
up, but the new concessionists are met with dii-
fdence, since nobody can trust the word OF Fran
els Joseph, who in lS4S abolished the HunSsri
an Constitution, and in 1851 destroyed that gran
ted by himself in March, lsio.
After this complete failure of reconciliation.
the position Of Austria becomes more critical
than before. The last remedy for coiljuring the
storm is tried and found wanting, and We may
now, therefore, safely prophesy the downfall OF
that ill.assorted Empire. Here, in Italy, the
grant OF the Constitution was taken for = sign
presaging an immediate war, and as about forty
thousand men of the army are actually in the
south of the pesinsula, the position Was rather
critical. Count Cavour, however, with the ener-
" which characterizes him, ordered at once the
mobilization OF forty bsttalions OF the National
Guard to garrison the !ortresses and chief towns,
and ordered every available soldier to the Mincio
and to the Po The military ardor OF Francis
Joseph seems, however, TO have cooled down
considerably, since the appearance in the Con-
stttu.ionnei OF Paris of a most important semi
official article explaining the policy OF France
, toward Italy in a manner on the whole most Ia
vOrable TO Victor Emanuel. The Emperor dis
approves OF the Sandman policy. He cannot
put himself at the head OF the revolution, but
lac believes that strong Italy is required tor
Europe He cannot allow any foreign interven
, ton in the peninsula, nor the revival OF the Au
/ strlan prcpondcrancc. This is the gist of the
article, which plainly intmates that in case of an
Austrian aggression the French would once more
, cross the Alps. The Constitutional winds "

; While Austria il thus abandoned by France

out any better promise. Francis Joseph hoped
{ for reconsideration of the Holy Alliance, but
: instead Of such an issue, the Imperial meeting
! separated without coming TO any serious resolu
ton. There were dinner parties, military re
J views official visits and theatrical represents
tons but no protest was signed, no agreement
concluded, 10 promises gwen TO Austria, and
not even the Pope and the King of Naples got
word of comfort from Warsaw. The hope Of

these impotent, agonizing movements will moi

the French will have evacuated Rome, which i,

: In Naples, the universal suffrage resulted in
nearly unanimous vote for the annexation to IN,

ly still, heavier than that of Naples, whose many
persons abstained from casting their ballot into
tie ballot box.

their cool bravery. Gen. Cialdini, after the bat
tic of lserna on the 2lst, where the Neapolitar
, general, Scott, and 500 soldiers were capture

cute off the retreat to Gaeta, forced the Neapolitar
troops to evacuate Csjazzo and Cap1a, and leav

Garbaldi waits only for the arrival Of the King
which is to take place tomorrow, in order TO re
sign his Dictatorship aud military command, al q
to retire again into private life, until the val

of action. The King, however, will do his bes
to keep him from taking that step, and will en-
deavor 20 retain him in the command Of the
Southern army. As 10 the volunteers from Up
