      Sardinia, The Times Correspondent «T Tur...

      From all I can learn , I should think that the Austrians Su d now at any time muster , within two or three days , foOMO men within the limits of their Italian dominions . The number at present within those limits may , howeve , be much short of this . I have «^ d ? t estimated that there are now 100 , 000 and even 120 , 000 men in Lombardo-Venetia , but this I incline to think great Sgeration . The garrison of Milan , is . atthe present thnf 15 , 000 strong . The fortifications at the Tosa gate of Milan , which were intended as precautions against an enemy within the city , are being ( or about to ^ be ) pulled down , and I am told that the materials are alfeady advertised for sale . It is also stated that the Government is selling the barracks and different Government buildings in Milan , and will afterwards rent them from the purchasers , the object being to have as little Government property as possible in the Lombard capital . .

      Position Of Austria. The Great Central D...

      POSITION OF AUSTRIA . The great central despotism of Europe stands at bay . As yet its power of endurance and resistance remains untouched . In the judgment of many , competent to form an accurate opinion , its strength . is relatively greater than it has been at any period during-the present century . Numerically , tlie Austrian army exceeds that of France or Russia , and its state of discipline is said to be exceHenti Financially , great efforts have successfully been made during the- . last two years to place matters oa a sounder footing than they were previously , and owing to fiie courage and skill of Baron Briicl s Count Buol , these efforts have been in an eminent degree successful . In .. ' Germany ' the ascendancy of the Court of Vienna has , ever since 1 S 49 , been gradually but steadily on the increase ; while that of Prussia continued , under the government of the lately superseded sovereign , continually to decline . In this respect a counteractive tendency will probably become felt ere long ; but as . regards the immediate dangers wherewith Austria is . menaced , Prussia is understood to be as well disposed to play the part of a friend , if not of an ally , as Ba- " varia or Hesse . Of the various and dissimilar provinces that make up the empire , Lombardy alone threatens revolt . " Hungary is tranquil ; the party of legislative independence is broken , scattered , and disheartened ; ancl the peasantry have been propitiated by some concessions recently made by which their oondition as serfs has been ameliorated . Bohemia and Gallicia are mute , if not conciliated ; and Austria Proper , together with the Tyrol , may be set down as loyally affected to the dynasty , if not bound by any strong sentiment of attachment , to the regime , under which they live . The system of rule has become of late more vigorous in the sense of absolutism by the greater completeness of its centralisation . The extension of railways and the establishment of the electric telegraph , has incalculably enhanced the power of Government , and increased the facility and cheapness of working it iu peaceable times . The territorial aristocrac north of the Alps are universally attached to the stability of the imporial throne ; and in an empire inhabited almost exclusively by Catholics , it has boon considered of vast importance to bind inclissolubly the powers of the Church to those of the State by means of a stringent concordat . This is the favourable side of the picture ; but there is another . Throughout the empire there is traceable the want of individual energy and the absonco of all loqal life , which in free countries , is the ossenoo of their strength , and which , oven in iH-govornodstatos , may long and usofully co-oxist with nmoh that is repressive , exigent , and arbitrary , in an imporfootly-devolopod centralisation . Acldocl to this , thoro is everywhere to be found silent ou
