WHAT WILL AUSTRIA Do?-Cor-

that Austria is concentrating enor-
nous forces in Venetia, but only to
repel an inUasion, and at Austria
has not the least intention to help
the Neapolitan Government, Hav-
ing waived her right to defend the
Dukes. Of Tuscany and Modena, she
will not aid the King of Naples
The Cabinet of Vienna is ostenslbly
irritated against the Neapolitan
Bourbons for having disregarded her
best cQunsels during twelve years,
which were topropitiate public opin-
ion by timely and broad concessions
to restore order, and save the throne
from the approaching hurricane
When Prince Swowtzenberg was
leaving Naples, and the boxes con
tanning the archives of the Austrian
Embassy were transported on board,
he said, with sadness, pointing at
them with his finger, "Oh, if these
boxes could speak, the world would
know how the best counsels OF Aus
tria' were despised at Naples r This
has a singular significance, if we
consider how Austria has employed
her time these eleven years, since
the battle of Novara What has she
done to quiet Italy? Has she salts

fed single one of the just demands
of her oppressed nations? How ala
she rule in the Papal States 2 The
atrocities which compelled Romagna
to rise were but Austria's work.
The exile of the Italian princes, and
particularly Of that poor Princess OF
Parma, is Austria's work. The per-
secutions and atrocities constantly
committed in Hungary, Bohemia
Gallicia, and Venetia are but the
consequences of that heartless sys-
TEN which drives nations into des-
pair. What Austria advised Ma
