Other countries of the Continent present no decisive change. In

Lombardy, General Radetzky, whose friends spoke with confi- dence of his "impregnable" position, is decidedly losing ground. The most hopeful' sound for Austria in Italy is the reported re- turn of the Archduke Regnier to Milan, in a friendly guise. The Austrian Emperor has been borrowing a little strength for his throne by fraternizing with the new Government in Hun- gary. Posen is divided by a disastrous war of races, Pole against German. The Danes are active in Schleswig, but an overwhelming force is gathering round them. Holland is re- forming. Belgium is still loyal and peaceful.
