EVENING TELEGRAPH SPECIAL ooBREsPoNDENcE.l
PARIS, July 20, 1866.
We have been more than a week without any
particular news; the latest event is the depart
ure of the Prince Napoleon on special mission
to his papa-in-law Victor Emanuel. As IL is not
likely the Emperor would send his dear cousin
on "a wild.goose chase" we have every hope
that the proposals borne by Pioa- Pton will be
accepted. .... ....
Austria, at bay, seems determined to defend
itself to the last. A council of the Imperial
family was held few days ago. and IL was de-
cided to conquer or to die.
HAPsBURG's LAST EFFORT.
The Emperor of Austria will give the Prus-
SLAMS battle along the banks ,ot the Danube,
within sight of Vienna. 1t is stated with GER
tainty that 4OO, 900 Kaserlichs await the enemy
in an intrenched camp at Floridsdorf. The last
struggle is perhaps taking place while we are
writing these lines. Archduke Albrecht the
Austrian Commander-in-C Chief, has addressed
most affecting proclamation to his troops
Should the day again turn against the House Of
Hapsburg, Francis Joseph will have 10 seek hos
pitslity from his faithful Magyars.
The question is, VIII he be well received by
them, after having so often fooled them to the
top of their bent? We hear that kossuth, tue
hero OF 1s49, is in the Tyrol at the head OF
Hungarian legion, and that he has issued
proclamation, which has been handed about in
Hungary, and in which he calls on his country
men to throw off the yoke of the House of
Austria.
King william of Prussia, too has been sud-
denly taken with fit of affection for the
Magyars, as one of the conditions stipulated for
the aeceptation of the armistce is that Hungary
shall have its ancient Constitution restored to
it. How kind The bloated Hohenz 0llern who
throws his deputies into prison, and who has
Just had the Senator Bernus of Frankfort
arrested, is very solicltous for the subjects CT
Francis Joseph As regards his own, King Will
liam goes on the principle of "He whom the
Lord loyeth He chastiseth."
Bismark, who is still the "Jack Nasty" of the
King of Prussia, sticks at nothing in order to
gain his ends. He is doing all he can to urge
the Magyars to insurrecton. Up to the present
time we have not heard of any rising in Hun
gary. In the time of Maria Theresa the Magyars
saved the House of Hapsburg, but IN those days
the soldiers OF the great Frederick had no
breech.loading needle-guns, and there was no.
body to cry "EIgen Kossuth!" C'Long live
Kossuth!")
The Prussians are now at Frankfort. The
leathern helmets met with no resistance in the
city of the King OF the Jews of modern times
Some went so far as to strew flowers in the
streets, but the poor old clothesmen and
schacherers of the "Juden Case" are so timid,
and we know that fear is the mother of fiattery.
We must not omit to mention that Moses, Ben
jamin, Samuel, and Eleazer have long ago sent
away the "monish" to places of safety. 1t is very
likely that naughty Prussia will dictate laws to
Germany. The possession of the capital of Ger
many is another trump card in Bismark's hand.
As / have already mentioned, the Prussians
have again given another proof of their love OF
liberty by arrestng many of the authorities of
the town, and two or three editors of papers.
This is not to beiwondeTed at-the King of Prus
sia detests chatterers and scribblers. He has
shown but little respect for his German cousins.
whom he has either had arrested or thrown
from their thrones, and confscated their cash
boxes.
We hear that Tuscany, belonging to the King
of Hanover, contained 2SO,OOO thalers worth
bars of gold and silver, besides 100000 thaers in
bank notes.
PRETTY GOOD HAUL.
The Duke OF Nassau must be added to the list
OF petty German princes who has been obliged
to take to his heels from fear of the Prusslans
The King of Hanover, the King OF Saxony, the
Elector of Hesse, the Duke of SAKE .Meinlngen
and the Grand Duke of Hesse- -Darmstadt,
ere now arc all down amongst the dead men,
Notwithstanding all this, William OF Prussia is
said to be a good old sooA He would not iniure
fly! The following anecdote will give us an
idea of the kind-heartedness of the head of the
Hohenzollerns:-
When General Gablentz came to the Prussian
camp az Haritz with a fagoEtruce, he was pre-
sented to the King of Prussia, who kissed
him on both cheeks. We wonder if the King
ever heard Of Judas IscarlOt? "...
BIsMARK TEIUMPHANT
The clever Premier is now seeing all his hopes
realized, and he will very probably give Ger
many full dose Of Llberte u la Prussienne
THE ISLAND or SARDINIA.
There is a talk that our lord and master will
require some little brokerage for disturbing the
plans of Bismark, and that he modestly asks for
the island of Sardinia as a sop-this would be a
nice naval station. What will the British lion
say to this
When it was TumOred that Prussia refused an
armistice it was generally thought that the
indignation of Napoleon III would have urged
him to take the field against the Hohenzollern:
but no such thing. The Moniteur informs us
that the best understanding exists between the
two potentates. What more natural from Bis
mark, the pupil of Napoleon III? Both abhor
