TIE Italian question IL as yet far from being
scaved. Napoleon, well aware that it would be
aiMcuh to localize the war, once more exerts
himself to the utmost to induce Austria to sell
Vsneta; but though England backs the articles
Il the Consti1tionad by direct diplomatic action,
Francis Joseph refuses to listen to reason, and
treats the proposal as personal insult. II is
difficult to guess how, under such circumstances
events may turn in the course OF the coming year;
As4, up to this time, both England and France
seem TO be determined TO do all they can to pre-
rent the war. The Hungarian difficulties and
Jhe financial straits Of the Austrian Empire
render her harmless for the moment, and 1t can

ern shores of that sea. To keep the Hungarians
bach, who cannot rise unless provided with arms
from abroad, strict watch is kept at the Bos-
phorus and at the mouths Of the Danube, as well
m in the Dsnubian Principalties. Three ships
saxrying arms and ammunition under the Sardin-
An Gag, have been recently arrested by the Turkish
authorities at Salina. They turned out to have

She Hungarian General TGrr, who is likely to
play prominent part In the course Of the ensu-
ing year. After q serious scene between Gen.

stantinope, and the Grand Vizier, it was decided
hat those ships are TO be returned to Italy. But
Is is reported that two ships have escaped
ne attention of che authorities and have sucoeeded
in discbarqing their cargo. The Prince OF the
Rnmans John Alexander Couza, accused by the
Austrian Ernbnssado of connivance with the revo-

Still all this diplomatic compagn cannot prop up
Austrian oppression, and Hungary IL now de taeto

basis of the laws Of 1913; the Ministerial Orders
