Tlie Cause of tlie Difficulty.
Austria claims that she rightly owns and
controls Lombardy and Venice; that she
has u right >0 control them as she sees fit;
that in order to this she must maintain with
the several Italian Mutes such an in
fluence as will render her Lombardo-Vsni-
tian sovereignty safe. Thsiefure she keeps
up a partial military occupancy of the cen-
tri.l Italian Niates and virtually rules in all
Italy. Sardinia is the only largo Italian
province which is an exception. There
Austria has 110 power, and the policy of
Sardinia, which is favorable to th* estab
lishment of constitutional Governments in
Italy, is hostile to that of Austria, which
tends lo the maintenance of iho strictest
military despotism. Sardinia and France,
sympathizing with her, on tho oontrary,
claim that the Austuan occupation of Italy
is injurous in its effects on thr I »li«n States,
prevents the development of tb t country,
a nd ie virtually in violation of the treaties
und compacts of 1915. They demand the
abandonment of the Austrian occupation of
Italy and th* Sardinian frontier, and that
Austria shall censo lo exercise any morn c61>-
trol iu Itnlisn affsirs than the other great pow^
rrs. 'These demands Austria refuses‘U
comply with, alleging that her policy in
'Inly is necessary to her own protection in
«r own dependencies of Venice and Lom-
\rdy. Tin se matters have been in contro-
orsy for three year*. France and Sardinia

Macon, G*., May, 1859.
I have it from reliable authority that a
direct imporUliou of merchandise haa ac
tually been successfully commenced, in this
city. I am also informed that one Dry
Good* bouse here, Messrs. Boss, proprietors,
imports from Europe and sells some $600,-
ir $700,000 worth of goods per annum,
while the olhors are gradually extending
iheir business operations. What will Mobile,
Now Orleana and Montgomsry say to this 1
What do Savannah ami Charle: ton say 1
If the merchants of a little city like Macon
command enough capital to embark
successfully in a direct trails with Europe,
may hope to bear no more excuses for
seaports which nmy fail to oorne to it.
Tho merchants of Macon, it ia true, do not
make large profits upon their importations,
but the fact that they do import, draws to
them hundreds of customers from the villa
ges and towns through which the railroads
pass. Every house, I u*n iuforaard, that is
engaged in direct importation, ia doing a
moat excellent aud growing business.
