The Emperor Fraucis Joseph, Charles Francis Joseph 1., the present Emperor of Austria, and * King of Hungary snd Bobemia,” &c., &e., is o nephew of the ex-Emperor Ferdinand L, who abdicated in his favor after the insarrection of 1848 (and who is stiil living), and eldest son of the Arcbduke Francis Charles by the Princess Sophia of Eohemia. He was born August 18, 160, and in lis youth was remarked for his fine nstaral abilities and cultivation. and especially for bis ottaipments as s lingaist. During the troubles of 1843 he served uoder Radetsky in Ttaly. His wother, tbe Archduchess, the soul and spirit of the Reactlonary party in Germaoy, when it became apparent that the Emperor Ferdivand could no longer keep his throne, caused the young mun to be declared of age when be was only 18; aud the mext day, December 2, Lis father resigued his rights in his favor, and his uacle laid down his erown. In s insugural the new Emperor promised) a liberal, progressive and constitutional reign,and for a while be seemed disposed to keep lis word. But tue brilliant prospect soon vanished. The rising in Hungary under Kossuth was pat down in a few months; its leaders were punished with uore- lenting severity; the Austrian Parlisment was dissolved; its Liberal members were arrested; and the Emperor promulga- ted a new Constitution of Lis own. known as that of March 4th. The revolutionary schemes of a German union apart from Austria having been defeated, Austria and several of the Southern German powers combined to crush the movement set on foot by Prassia for a separate union of some of the smaller States of Germany. Proparations were mado for war in 1650, but Prussia yielded, and Frangls Joseph, with tho assistance of bis Minister, Count Swarzonberg wnd afterward of Count Baol Schauenstein, was enabled to devote his ener- gles to the refstablishment of centralization and absolutism, He visited Hangary in 1832, but was very unfavoratly received. The next year an ontbreak occurred in Milan, but it was soon suppressed by Radetsky. On Feb, 18, 1653, while walking on the public promensdo in Vienna, the Emperor was furlously attacked with a knife by a young Hungarian tailor named Libéagi, and the wonnd nearly proved fatal. He recovercd very slowly, narrowly escaping the loss of his sight. The assassin died ou the gallows, pro- testing bis fidelity to republicasism. During the Crimean war, Austria sided with the Allies, conclading o treaty with France and England ia Decomber, 1854, and occupylag the Danubian Principslities while bostilites were in progress. The treaties subsequently coucladed by the Emperor with some of the minor Italian States led to the was of 1859, in which Austria took the initiative, after Napoleon's celebrated address to the Diplomatic Body on New-Year's Day, and seut Count Gyulai with sn army ing Piedmont. In the great bat. tle of Solferino, Francis Joseph commanded his troops in per- wn, and fonght them gallantly and obstinately, but was defeated by Vietor Emansel and Napoleon. By the peace of Villafranea be lost a part of Lombardy, but retained the famous Quadrilateral and Venetia. In his farewell address to the army be threw the blame of bis discomfitare upon the standing aloof his nataral allies.

The discipline of the arwy and its organization are excellent, and the soldiers are like solciers all over the world. somewhat jn- cined o complain when newly conseripted, but afterw few weeks zealous for their flag, their General, and even their cause, But though this war. if it continue will probably give the worid some of the blogdiest battles of the age. there is no reason to belicve that the Austrians bave sny chance of ae- complisking the des'gn with which they set out—the fnvasion of the Prassian territory, the eaptare of Berlio, and the restora- tion of Scileswig-Holetein to independence. The promptitude of the Prussian Government first changed the Austrian Fed- eral plans, and the prowess of the Prussian army entirely to defeat them. The Aunstriacs began with the belief that they wsgsred the soil of Saxony as their own, and advance m's gplendid Tl tary position over the Prussian plaine. They wso faucied thoy had allies in the midst and rear of their adversaries, and that Hanover, the Hesses, Bruuswick, the Mecklenburgs, and ber of other Bovereigaties woull barass in prostratiog the Berlin Government. How completely these expectations have been disuppointed need not be said. The w due baste of Austria in demanding Federal execution from the Diet bas given all berallies as a pre Ler threatened enemy, The plans of her general deranged, the pusses throogh which he was to issne asan in- vader are iu the hands of the Prussisns, whom he fiuds now on the Imperial soil, wh Iy t 2 with admirable tact and coolaoss.

Prince Frederick Willliam Louis Charles of Hesse- Darmstadt, is o nephew of Prince Alexander- of Hesse, in whose corps be commanded a brigade of cavalry, His father is the brother of the Grand Duke and of Prince Alexander; bis mother is first cousin of the present King of Prussia. He was born Sept. 12, 1897, and macried July 1, 1862, the Princess Alice, third daughter of Queen Victoria, He s therefore brother-inlaw of the Crown Prince of Prossis, against whom be is fighting. Iie also served in the Prussian army before the present complications. ¥ L Gen. Benedek. Ludwig Von Benedek, the Austrian commander in Germany, was born In Hungory in 1504, and 1s the son of & pbysician. ITe studled inone of the Austrian military sebools, and entered the army with the rank of cornet at the age of 18, His first ioportant service was rendered ia Gallicia during the imworrection of 1345, when ho held the grade of Colonel. He Lighly distinguished himself under Kadetzky in Ttaly in 1848, and took an getive part in the war in Hungary in 1849, being ouce or twice wounded, During the Italian gampaiga of 1859 be covered the retreat from Milan to the Mincio, and com. manded the Austrian right wing at the battle of Solferino, He replaced Gen. Hess in the command of the army, and since the Peacoof Villafranea bas remained at the Lead of the troops b Vengtiag Be Lolds the rank of Fddiguemeisicr. portant cosquests invading and spolling thel change very much indeed before any of the the German Potentates began this contest oai be As regards the military qualities of the two they are probably not unequally matehed, he Austriane are wore thorouglly disciplined soldiers and war most animated by a more professional epirit; but their opponen are more educated and inteliigent. and have the m. il 0 vantage of [rrmmiag s wetrem which proves its superiusity on every feid, In th ing campaign we may fairly ex- wi pect that, though the contest will be te“rible. neither Power wiil gain An"luch docided advantages as will s h to conquest. e Co sot expect that the Prussians CORGUCT Bobemia or reach Vienna; there is little {;""""2,-"" the Austrians will take Berlin. lead baok the of Hanover (o his turoze, or give the Elbe Duchies to their ', 1f, then, the two Powers remain at the close of the war substantial'y as they sre at present, the gaios will be oo the side of the belligerent which bud obtaived the earliest advantages. Pras- #ia has only to keep what ste bas already scquired, and ske will be the real vietor in this war, g Tmpregaability of Behemia. Regarding tbe Bobemian battle-field, The Times sayi: ;leld-lhrlhl Benedek may bave shown that if the Avstriana have allowed their cpponents to gain signal advantages ot the beginuing of the campaian, it has not been for want of ability in their commarder. The prowptitade of tae Prussians has gnived for Berlin the eupremacy of Nortbera Germany, but the inactivity of the Austrirns, ever cause it has srisen, may ai last have given them & ‘riumph over their too: confident cpposents.
