made use of by Austria iu the " Hungarian
war." and subsequently abandoned by her
in the Crimean difficulty, is now ittiawnf,
and that therefore, at the end of the war,
the House of Hapsburg, overwhelmed with
univcr-al execration, and assailed by exas
perated, powerful enemies, within nnd with
out, will le speedily reduced to the limits
of her original Herman possessions.
As to the second art trie without enter
ing into all the minute details of the local
circumstances, which would l e tedious to
and not generally understood by your read
ers' I fiow will briefly say that the Franeo-Piedme-ntese
army, numbering upward of
nm.immi men, will certainly take care not
to let itself be, in such a very simple way
i.eafcn in detail by a concentrated Austrian
force of PgoMIH. The modern maneuver
of concentration, which your writer says
Napoleon I, taught to the Austrians, will
hardly ho unknown to Napoleon 111, and
his f Generals, studiously copying, as she
does, the action of Lis uncle. And espe
cially can he put this maneuver in ex-eij.
tion with ease, since he will be in the mid-
of a population friendly to the Franeo-Pied-ninntese
arms, while Austria will have to
act surrounded by bitter enemies and most
unwilling coadjutors, who already, as dr
serters, cross daily the Piedmontose fron
tur."' As to your writer's notion that Austria,
by the TyrJ, inflict a " Marengo" on any
army attempting to concentrate on the honi
bardo eneti.-in plains. I will merely ref ly.
that while the Allied French ami Picdmon
tese employ a sufficient force to watch and
amuse the Austrians on thut field, their
main strength can, under the protection f
the French navy, land far iu the rear of the
Austrian army in Italy, so as to neutralize
tint army, and any corp.s which may ie in
the Tyrol, and taking Trcistc ami Flun.s,
can distribute arms to the Hungarians eager
tn break their yoke, and to raise a fresh ad-eei-.-iry
to the 1 lotisc cf I hpsbnrg. Co-o,.-;
n'-ug with such explosive materials, nod
f avt r. il bv ihe circumstance that the larger
)-i of the Austrian array is coijt-
s" i f arJi-Austrian euments, the one-,
in. t s of Austria can, with ease, ojeu a road ;
to t-ie capita), and dictate their own terms
in a very different manner from that of 1 is
and 'lib And, since any Russian inter
vention would rthic be hostile instead of
friendly to Austria, I need only reiterate
my former assertion, that nothing can pre.
vent the House of Hap.burg from being
reduced to the narrow Ismi'sof its Herman
jutfsessions unless its enemies, in their
ttiumph, refuse to allow that perfidious dy
nasty, even as a third rate ' Power," to dis
grace any longer, by its tyiannv. the p-oge-j
of history.

dred subject :
I hear 1 the o'hor day the .-tory f a
y. ung man of fortune and great personal
:idv:tn!a.ges, who, pre .sl to marry, d.:clarel
thr.t if h t.tii.md v. baeh-lor :.t eight-
ar.d twenty it was i.ot his fault, but simply
because be coul'l find no p irent.s willing to
acecft I he condition he advanced as j rece
cedetit to the marriage lie stated that he
had sued lor seven or eight holies' Lands
Tin- (onditiori h urged was simply this.
He insisted th- parents of the lady should
enter into a formal contract, duly recorded
in a notary's office, to pay all th" mantua
makers', milliner's' and i'-welers bills run
up by their dau g'.tei in !in-- to r.-vide f ir
a!i her dressing 'a. i.-. - lie i,.!d them if
they would accept thi e.e i;i i..n he Would
leave her whole dowry hi H eir hands
This young man s.ii !, a-- 1 Lave nl ready sta
ted, that he euld not lin l a sing-e parent
willing to accept his oiler, although one .f
the yeiung ladies had a dowry of a hundred
thous;ind dollars. You will approve the
discretion of the young man when you think
wives at present find six thousand dollars a
year an inadequate sum of money to supply
tl.eir exp-uses of dress M. A lex. Duma
telis incidentally ef the Countess in whose
suit Le travelled from Paris to St. Peters
