The positive statement that Austria will
concentrate her troops in Gslicia, notwith-
standing former denisls of her intention to do
SO, has been repeated by the Berlin cor
respondent Of the London Times. Such q
concentration Of troops would still fur
ther complicste the difficulties which
vex the Austrian Empire. The motive for
it can only be the conviction Of the
Austrian government that the alleged un-
derstanding between the Russian and Prussian
government by which the former, ON certain
conditions, were to be left free to work their
will in Galicia and Turkey, actually exists,
and hostile ~ il is to the interests Of Austria,

ample cause for inquietsde had arisen in the
disposition manifested by men Of various
shades Of opinion, opposed to the present
Ministry, TO insist upon demands 10 which the
imperial government was but little inclined to
accede. The Croatisn Diet for instance,
resolved in favor Of the autonomy and
separate administration Of Hungary, Crosia
and Transylvania a. tho interchangeable
basis Of the constitution Of those pro-
vinces. In opposition to the German party,
moreover, numbering two-6fths OF the entire
population Of Bohemia, and naturally staneh
adheren4s Of the constitution Of 1861, inasmuch
o. they expect more justice from an imperial
Parliament than they could ever hope for from
Bohemian Diet, the united parties Of the
great landed proprietors aud the Czechs con-
denim the reconstruction Of Austria upon
dualistic principles, and demand the political
independence Of the "crown Of Bohemia" iin-
Guiding Bohemia, Morsvia and .Silesis>, some
what like the Independence claimed by Hun
gary. The address of Deak, the leader OF the
moderate liberal party In the Hungarian Diet,
contained demands equally unpalasable TO
Beust and his colleagues. The Pesth and Paris
kilograms by the ocean cable subsequently
brought the rumor that the demands Of the
Hungarian Diet were positively refused by the
Austrian government.
Wiser c0unsels, however, seem to have
prevailed at Vienna. Later kilograms report
that the Austrian Cabinet, ia despair Of
satisfying the demands Of Hungary. proposes
to give all the various nationalitiss composite
the empire the liberty Of agreeingupo gene

in preventing the apparently inevitable disin
