The extraordinary difficulties with which
the Emperor of Austria has to contend in
his composite Empire are we'll illustrated
by an incident which occurred ON the 18th
inst. DIR. StrOSSmayer, Bishop of DiakO-
var, in Croatia, is the richest, the ablest.
and the most Nationalist person in his
province. Though a maj of low origin,
he is very learned, and was perhaps the
most resOlute opponent of the doctrine of
Papal infallibility. He has Russian lean
ings, and recently sent a public telegram
to Kieff praying for BLESSINGS on the uni
verSal mission which God had designed
Russia to fulfil in the world" The mes
sage was considered almost reasonable,
and on the 18th inst, during a Lev6e held
by the Emperor, his Majesty publicly re.
primanded him as equity of a culpable
step against the Church and the State"
The Bishop only replied, "My conscience
is clear ;'but the Croat Natioualists are all
on his side, and it is believed that the
Paplcy will find it necessary to appoint
a coadjutOr. One,third at least of the
people of the Dual Empire will s%ympathise
