tohiuS tahA aLHOn5SL Tue 0SSb IN Europe
The Hungarian cavalry is the fnest in
Europe; it has preserved all the historical
traditions of It's fame. Many a victory has
it helped to win for Austria, but Austria
has never testified it's appreciation of its i'm
pOrtance. Austria has never possessed any
celebrated Generals. SThe Archduke
Charles, the most famous among them. was
on every occasion conquered by Napoleon
1. To take the field again it has no other
generals than those that were beaten at Ma
genta, Solferino, Paestro, and San Martina
Austria cannot send into the field more
than three hundred thousand men, being
obliged to have two hundred thousand men
in the Quadrilateral, between Venice and
the frontiers of Lombardy, where the army
of Italy Is encamped. A hundred thou
sand men are in Dalmatia. in the territory
of Trieste, and in the fortress on the other
side of Venice. Another hundred thousand
men are in Hungary, where the condition
of the country at all times threatens a rego-
luton. The Austrian navy consists of one
hundred and twenty vessels Of war, of
which seventy only are steamers. In all,
one thousand one hundred cannon. The
merchant vessels of Austria consist of about
ten thousand ships. The government reve-
nue. is two hundred millions of thalers, but

peace the army consists Of two hundred
thousand men. At the present moment it
has four hundred and fifty thousand men
under arms, besides a reserve, we'll drilled
and disciplined, called Landwehr. The
Prussiaus have all military instincts-they
are brave, sober and indefatigabe. The ar
tilery is one of the finest in Europe, with
! fine cannon and admirable and intelligent
| officers. The generals are formed in the
school of Frederick the Great One of
them was Butcher, the conqHerer of Napo-
/
! eighty vessels of war, is in far better con-
dition than that Of Austria, the four hun
| dred and ten cannon they carry being all Of
! the largest modern models. The merchant
vessels are about two thousand in number
Prussia boasts of its rights over the Duches
of HolsteiD, Lanenburg and Schleswig,
Austria declining to cede them without

OF war with only thousand cannon,
| is admirable. It's merchant vessels number
about six thousand. The three duchies
which belonged to Denmark have remained
in the possession of the two powers which
occupy them, Austria and Prussia. These
duchies are the cause of the war which
threatens. The duchies form altogether a
populatioz Re million.
