What if Napoleon partition the Austrian Empire, but still lose?

How would Austria be partitioned?

Would Austria be reestablish?

Would the Habsburgs get some rump state?
 
Napoleon might have partitioned Austria, but it's hard to see how the Hapsburgs don't get restored: Bavaria, Wurttemburg, Saxony, Baden, Mecklenburg (there's still 2 Mecklenburgs) and the remaining smaller German kingdoms, duchies etc would all want to see a near equal to the enlarged Prussia, as would England and the restored Bourbons and the Netherlands. Probably Russia too, rather than see some new unstable kingdoms near a still large Ottoman Empire (the Orthodox slavs are still under Ottman rule.) They were terrified of revolution and exhausted by war so they wouldn't be able to envision a stable Europe without an Austria.
