enough to assume the responsibility of conducting
the money affairs of Austria without the disgrace of
bankruptcy Dir. Plener, who is now at the
head of the empty treasury, has already declared
that he is unable to bring order into the financial
confusion of the empire. The failure of the two
last loans the fraudulent issue of State bonds and
the arrest of four of the richest bankers, who
stood in business relations with all the great capt.
tahsts of the Continent, make every appeal to the
exchanges of Europe unavailable. A forced loan
might easily drive Hungary into rebellion, and
even the declaration of bankruptcy could not fill
the treasury, since it would disturb the money
market TO an extent of which the military advisers
Of Francis Joseph have no idea. What is, then,
the future Of Austria to be 7
In Hungary, the imperial orders are already dis
regarded The Protestants hold their meetings
without needing the protest of the political author
ties and even the arrest of the leading men fails to
frehten the multitude. On the Doth of April,
about COO Protestants assembled in the church of
Debreczin and, defying the threats of the imperial
officials transacted business as if Count Thun had
never issued his notorious decree for the organza-
ton of the Protestant churches. On the following
day, the Calynist Bishop Baogh was arrested and
carried TO Grosswardein for having taken the
chair 10 this Illegal meeting. When he arrived at
the county prison, he was received by the Roman
Catholic students and inhabitants of the town. who
were all dressed in mourning, with enthusiastic
cheers Confinement in prison has already
become distinction in Hungary. hartyrdom is
sought, and the religious movement is taking po-
htcal color.
The result of such state of things on the for
egn relations of Austria is plainly visible. En-
gland, which until last year supported Austria as
the natural counterpOise of France on the CONT
nent, has given her up as lost, and without wait
ing to see how the great empire will break up, is
concentrating her policy upon strengthening Prus-
sia, which seems destined to absorb the greatest
portion of Germany in the interest of the European
balance of power. But Francis Joseph does not
seem TO see the breakers ahead. Supported by
the small States of Germany, cOnfding in the prin-
ciples of divine right, standing by Jesuts and the
Concordat as the only antdOte against democra-
ey, he continues to worry Prussia at Frankfort,
though at the same time he is trying, by his uncle,
the King of Saxony, once more to induce the
Prince Regent to follow the baneful lead of the Vi
emma Cabinet. Thus the field is prepared for coming
events.
Russia and France are specializing upon the in
heritance of the two sick men. Italy is reused by
the annexation of Nice, by the suHerings OF Vene-
tia, and the agony of Sicily. Sardinia is arming,
though not yet prepared to make war. The Pope
is arming and recognizing his administration,
and the young King Of Naples, too, is arming,
though certain ruin stares all three IN the face, ii
they continue this unproductiye expenditure of the
resources of the country for a series of years,
while, if they 60 to war, the Pope as well as King
Bombino OF Naples, will most probably disap
pear from the List Of European sOvereigDs. The |
nomination OF Lamoriceire to the command-in- |
chief in the Pontifcal States is, as we now see,
not an isolated fact; it meaDs an administration |
reform. Cardinal Count Merode the Belgian |
UltramontaniSt, has accepted the Ministry of War,
and Antonelh's power is waning. Its said that the
two French ex-Ministers, De Courcelles and Fal-
louY are to enter the service Of Pic TX, as Min
listers of Finance and of Home Affairs. Thss,
the administration of Rome will become Frenchi-
fed. The Pope viii soon nominate the Able Bona
parte Cardinal, and if he dies, shall see Bona
pertlsm enthroned in the Vatican, directing the
consciences of a hundred and fifty millions Of
Christians.
Nothing shows better the alarm Of all Europe
than the impression made by NJ. AbOut's anus
