VIENNA, Dec. 9, 1868.
The second session OF that novel experiment in the
art OF government-the Observation-Disclosures yes
terday after receiving the thanks Of the imperial
government for the work they had got through, and
the harmony manifested between the two co-ordi-
nate bodies and the speed at which the work was
DONE To commemorate the success of this second
trial OF the delegations Baron Beust has been
raised to the dignity of count by his present SOW
ereign.
IT. may fairly be inferred from the above that the
governments estimates were not very seriously cut
down; and such Is, indeed, the fact. The govern
ment's estimates for the ordinary military budget
ounted to u.s. Al, 900 norins The subcommittee OF
the Reichrath delegation cut this down to 677505l2
norns, and the War Minister hereupon declared that
he could not hold his portfolio with scanty pro-
vision. The Plemum OF the Reichsrath Delegation
committee were not inncxible and voted the sum OF
- !04. 600 norns; the Plenum OF the Reichsrath
delegation itself were kinder still to the government
and voted the sum OF - 500, 900 norins. The Hunga
ran delegation was yet kinder TO the government
and the result was, when the two delegations
entered into negotiations with view TO compose
written correspondence. that the Ultimate vote OF
the Two delegations was for 1881, 500, pairing
down OF about 100000. The extraordinary army
budget was ultimately passed just as the Hungarian
delegation had passed Ii, namely, at the figure
OF 4,739,6Sl-the government having asked for
