It became therefore the object of Austria to endeavour to concen

trate those districts, which had been either severed from her kingdom, or were remotely situated. The court of Vienna, in consequence, became anxious to obtain Lindau from the prince of Brezenheim, and Ilothenfels, Stauffen, and Werdenstein from the house of Konigscck, in exchange for Hungarian estates, and to combine Suabian Austria with the Tyrol and Vorarlberg on a more extended basis.

It is also a singulär fact, that those very princes of Bavaria, who have connected themselves in marriage

with the princesses of Austria, have suffered the most persecution from that country, either by being placed under thè ban of thè empire, driven from their dominions, burthened with thè taxes of thè wars, or their interests sacrificed during peace, by their vassals being instigated to rebellion, or through the dis- affection of their troops.

The Vorarlberg enjoyed a general state of prosperity, until the year 1806, when thè dire chance of war forced its Separation from Austria ; all thè speculative consignments of manu- factured goods had been accustomed to be directed towards Vienna, most firms having brauch houses in various parts of thè empire; and when, in 1814

Austria, on the contrary, during the centuries it claimed a right over the kingdom, was accustomed more to deprive it of, than confer upon it, any benefit. At the close of the war in 1815, when Bavaria had lost 30,000 men in the Russian campaign, with the material of the army to an immense extent, and had again raised 60,000 troops ready for the field

, it may be here remarked, as a fact worthy the attention of Germany as well as the Swiss confederations and France, that the possession of the Brenner and Adige, could only in part render Bavaria safe ; the king might have been, as he could now, by the forced march of troops through the Tyrolian defiles of Aachenthal and Scharnitz during a single summer's day, be taken by surprise in his castle at Munich, without time to save his person by flight ; much less, the treasures of the kingdom ; Austria
