The Emperor of Austria has for the moment terminated the

constitutional crisis by accepting the resignation of the Hohenwart Ministry. Baron Adlerberg has been appointed Premier, with orders to find a compromise, but no Cabinet appears yet to have been formed. Insurrection is threatened in Bohemia, but as the Army has shown no symptom of disquiet, and the Germans of the kingdom if threatened might appeal to Berlin, it is more probable that the Federalists will secede from the Reichstag, thus depriving it of all moral authority. The unknown element in the situation, the wish of Prince Bismarck, has become most important ; but as yet he gives no sign, though the Berlin papers are all for German ascendancy.
