The Austrian authorities became convinced that their position was untenable, and they desired to avoid a useless sacrifice of life. This, rather than cowardly fears, was the motive which induced Count Palffy and Count Zichy, the civil and military governors of Venice, to yield the city without deluging it in blood.
It was that I might not interrupt your tender interviews with Count Palffy, nor frighten away the poor enamoured fool from the snares you were laying for him." The signora looked perfectly astounded. "But surely," stammered she, "your highness does not believe " "Oh, no!
Hope was unable to accept the invitation of Prince Esterhazy, in consequence of an engagement to visit another Hungarian magnate, Prince Palffy. The latter visit, with various other interesting details, is recorded in the following letter: J. R. Hope, Esq., to Edward L. Badeley, Esq. Vienna: Nov. 7, 1844.
She bent her head to his and held out her delicate cheek, fresh as a rose. "Simpleton," said he, slightly tapping her beautiful mouth, "do you suppose that the great Kaunitz would kiss any lips but those which, like the sensitive mimosa, shrink from the touch of man Go away. Count Palffy will feel honored to reap the kisses I have left."
In 1812 a visit to Vienna, during which he gave a series of concerts, so delighted the Viennese that Spohr was offered the direction of the Ander Wien theatre at a salary three times that received at Gotha, besides valuable emoluments.

The same year also witnessed the quarrel between Spohr and Count Palffy, which resulted in the rupture of the former's engagement.
Oh, when I heard this, jealousy and despair took possession of my soul. I was resolved to be revenged, and so I permitted the advances of Count Palffy. Ha! while I endured his presence, I felt that my heart was wholly and forever yours! Oh, my adored, my great Kaunitz, say that you love me, and at your feet I throw all the lesser Kaunitzes in token of my fealty!"
I believe nothing; I know that the Olympia who loves me so passionately, has been for two days the fair friend of the young, rich, and prodigal Count Palffy." Here the signora laughed outright. "But, your highness, if you knew this, why did you not stop me in my protestations, and tell me so?" "I only wanted to see whether, really, you were a finished actress.
I not only allow, but order you to continue your intrigue with Count Palffy. Take every thing he offers; wring his purse dry; and the sooner you ruin him the better." "That means that I importune you with my love. Farewell, prince, and may you never repent of your cruelty to poor Olympia." "Stay," said Kaunitz, coolly. "I have not done with you.
