WEST is now the position, and what are the pro needisgs of Austria ? She has been, for a century or MOM, a DOTI of racial et Romig; so much so that the Cu, NICHOLAS, in Om Secret Correspondence, passed over the German countries in his calculations, just as his own nobles reckon on their serfs as apart of them selves. Yet has Austria lost the countenance of Ramis, and incurred the reproach of in gratitude which ecewaxisananG predicted as inevitable, sooner or later. As it Nu inevitable, sooner or later, we I do net speak of it u a matter of reproach, but simply as a matter of fact. Reads helped Austria in all difficulties, for a long course of years; and lastly against the Hungarians. Already the state of feeling between tin two governments is one of unconcesled repugnance. Count ORLOTT plays the amiable to the Sardinian plenipotentiary at Paris; and " the highest circles " at Vienna undertake to pity Russia under the new necessity of being on terms with • semi-revolutionary government like that of Sardinia. Austria benefited Russia by ooeopying the Princi palities, so as to make all safe from invasion by the Allies along that line of frontier, and by this she earned the distrust of the Allies; and now, without at all improving her position with the Allies, she has lost the favour of Russia by compelling the CZAR to make a humiliating peace (tor peace on any terms must be humiliating in comparison with the expecta tion with w►ich the war was begun) by refusing to support him in the war. And how stands Austria with the frail, opponents? She is compelled to quit the Principalities, under the alternative of accepting all the Allies for enemies—just as Russia wan compelled to do. She lies under the dis grace of having inflicted intolerable tyranny during the term of her occupation. So much for her temper. As for her integrity,—it is a circumstance which will not be forgotten in history that Austria profits pre eminently by the peace, without having contributed in any way whatever to the war; and now, her re luctance to evacuate territories which do not belong to her, and from which her absence is desired, daily impairs further her reputation for honour and disin terestedoess. A. for her wisdom—there is no ace counting for the infatuation of her persistence in the attempt to continue her grasp of provinces which she must presently surrender, or pay the penalty of a war for detaining. As if this were not enough, Austria has incurred irulpicion and reproach from tho whole of enlightened European society by the Concordat with Rome, under which she gives away liberties of the highest value for which former potentates and heroes risked life and empire, and thou4ht dozens of years of war a reasonable price. At the very time when agitation vibrates through her whole empire she has ventured upon this new provocation, which enlists the entire enlightenment of Europe against her. As if even this were not enough. she now, in the mast critical time conceivable, inflicts fresh injuries and insults on Italian &etre, whose power of endurance was already overstrained. Austrian intervention in Puma is driving the people past their patience. The Austrian commander there has taken the govern. anent of a foreign State so completely into his own hands that he does not even trouble the constituted rulers with soy report of his proceedings. Re makes arrests on suspicion by the score, and sends the citi zens of Parma to prison —not in Parma, but in the Emperor of AtTfllt'S fortresses and gaols. If he and Ira Sovereign suppose that this will be endured, they will be fair illustrations of the wisdom and fore sight with which the Austrian Empire is now go vetoed. What else ? What are the other features of the ease? We have seen what the conceit and self laudation of Austria are—how Russia hates her for her recent policy, and how Western Europe despises that policy. We see haw she is maddening the peo- ple of Parma ; and we hear how she is concentrating her forces io a threatening way opposite the frontier of Piedmont. What else? Why, it appears that as her powerful and respectable alliances become weak ened, and threaten to dissolve, she has recourse to a closer intimacy with Rome and Naples. The Pont and King BOMBS ' S. a resource against the hatred of Russia, the indignation of Turkey, and the contempt . of the Western Powers! It is a remarkable ex- change—a singular view of compensation. One PM hardly g.se and wonder enough at such a muse of sonduct to our day, and in the present state of the world. But the future most not be lost sight of amidst the marvels of the present. The future, thus recklessly pawned by the spendthrift tyranny of Austria, is a thing in which we all have an interest, and which it is therefore our businen to look to. With a view to it, we have • right to ask—does Austria forget (what all the rest of the world remembers) that she is or re a name than a nation P The special and genoime subjects of Austria are in a slate of political infancy, as unfit to support their guardian as to take are of themselves ; and the net of her ,called sub pets are her worst enemies. Her Empire consists of a heterogeneous group of countries and peoples, without any mutual hoed, or comma attach ment to their head. It is impossible that Austria can forget this. Can she forget her poverty, her actual insolvency, when she &Hernias at Gees her neighbours and her subjects, and forsakes them all for the Pore and King Bonne P Does she forget that the peace for which she so loudly praises her mit settles none of the questions which troubled Europe before the Ressiaa war arose P Is she, or is she not, aware of the existing incom patibilities between the governments and the peoples of Europe f If unaware, she is ►lind : if aware, she is infatuated. Either way she is the goading ass asap to European tranqaillity, the wastes nougat,/ to s general embroilment. If there wag the slightest hope of her being wise sasses to be prang, of bee being brave enough to be considerate, of bee being modest enough to be reasonable, it would be well for all ober to unite is reminding her that she is poor, that she is la peril, that she is of herself help ing, and that her present conduct discredits her more every day. If she indeed withdraws her troops from the Principalities, and her interferesee hem the booby of Parma, and her sympathy hose the folly and cruelty gong on at Rano sad Naples; if she stays at home, and tries to grow wiser, time for repentance and rescue may be granted. If not, she mast take the onsequeners, remembering t►►t the sesesequenees will involve all Europe. Of all Europe, eke bad better calculate betimes how tansy hearts sad minds will he with her, and bow many against her. .(NULL PAZAOII,4rIVI 11111141110 DAT.

The sou of Feed Effendi was to leave on the 14th, bearer of the ratified treaty. More disturbances had taken place at Kataya and Tokat, attributed to the newly-introduced reforms. To accelerate the evacuation, a portion of the Eng- Bah fleet, originally intended for the Baltic, was ex pected at Constantiaople. The papers state that two regiments of English cavalry would leave in May for the East Indies, and that two divisions, under General Campbell, would be sent to Canada. TURKEY. TOON 0171 OWN allll. 7. - - • I announced in my last that General Larchey com municated to • friend of mine the conclusion of peace, and that the news had arrived by telegraph during the night. In writing, ho sever, on the 31st ult., I was rather inclined to doubt the accuracy of that statement, inasmuch as our matin slumbers, as usual, had been deep and sweet, and undisturbed by the roar of artillery at sunrise. At noon, however, as noticed in my postscript, something did, in fact , come off—the warships were decked for the most part with the allied fine, and the fortresses of Tophate and the Seraglio Point responded to their guns, which had been, however, booming more or less at irregular intervals for some dais in honour of the French prince. But all was so insignificant and so utterly disproportionate to the great event intended to be commemorated, that the public mind still fluttered in doubt and anxiety till nightfall. Then, defini tively, some squibs, rockets, and flickering lamps seemed to predict a display of fireworks and a general impulse tailed the powder, the oil, o r th e tailed ; the winds and the weather were not the thing, and the whole turned out, of course, a dead failure. How different was the scene after the battle of the Alma, of Inkermann and even on the falsely re ported intelligence of the capture of Sebastopol, at the outset of the war l The Golden Horn, I recol lect, wu all night long one blaze of light, and every nook and earner of the city a scene of revel and fes tivity. The firework, were splendid, the cannon thundered by land and sea t emblems, device., the Tourah with versets of the Koran formed in graceful outline by thousands and thousands of variegated lamps, were suspended from minaret to minaret surmounting the stately mosque domes. But, strange to say, on the present occasion there wee a something wanting ; and from the very first announcement of the Peace Conferences, as already remarked, up to their final and successful conclusion, I have never been able to discern the smallest evidence of triumph and exaltation among the Byzantine. Such then are the signs of the times. Not far from Miasirie's Hotel, in the street leading down to the harbour, is the British Army Post-office —a modest little department, but whose signal services during the whole course of the war are, I think, highly deserving of honourable record. In this opinion all will readily soncur—the European colony, the British resident'', our soldiers, sailors, the pil. grim, the traveller arriving from a distant tour, who repairs thither straightway', in quest of tidings from his native isle. This humble locals consists of a proesenium, not exceeding absolutely some twenty feet by fifteen, with a dingy, darksome inner compartment, of about double that extent, wherein may be seen, any day on the arrival of the home mail, huge piles of new.. papers, endless letter bags, books, packages, and so forth, lying about in chaotic heaps. Such is the ap pearance, at least, to those who, like myself, are unversed in the arcane of postal science; and really, the amount of daily labour in this sombrous encloaare is incredible, enormous, considering that there are not more than six hands to moderate the whole, and keep this most complex machine in almost perpetual motion. Within the precincts of this unobtrusive little establishment, red tape and routine, it would appear, are as things unknown—for all is conducted in perfect order, and with the most surprising desywch and assiduity. The few officials of all grade. are most civil, obliging, and anxious to render any possible little servioe, and the perennial head clerk above all, Mr. I—, the veritable genius lad, who, when under the necessity, psrohaoce, of dismissing you with • " Nothing to-day, sir," looks almost as if disconcerted himself, and disposed to sympathise in your ill fortune. In the coarse of a single week, only fancy, from ten to twelve thousand lettere, with perhaps nearly an (gull number of newspapers, pass regularly through this ;flea Wides books, various packeA r g and stores, which, after having been careintly sorted, are forwarded to their different destinations, and ready on arriving for immediate distribution. The whole return army correspondence comes in on Mon day, and is made up the sense day for transmission to England, Marseilles, Greece, Gallipoli, and Corfu. Oa Tuesday is the Loudon mail, and which, ehou , cl it arrive, is instantly sorted and despatched to various points at the seat of war. Wednesday is principally devoted to granting money orders. On Thursday again arrives the Crimean mail, and is forwarded with the Constantinople lettere to England, Marseilles, Smyrna, Dardanelles, and Malta. On Friday, again, comes the despatch of money orders; and on Satur day la the second weekly horns mail, which is sorted SA haters and sent on with all possible expedition. Io addition to this normal series of weekly postal operations, mails cocesioaally some in by transport ships, consisting at packages, books, stops, and so forth, too cumbrous for transmission via Fresco. The expedition of the local poets, moreover, devolves upon the office—twice a-week for Nicomedie, Boma and Varna; oboe, for Trebizond, Stoops, and other ports of the Eosins ; and twice; daily, besides, far Seatari I and other districts along the sea-board. This Glee, moreover, has bee* extensively resorted to by the European colony sal British residents for the trans mission of letters, free of postage, to the Crimea and other localities within its spheres, epaeatiot. Lastly, by almost every English mail, letters and newspapers la great numbers arrive for private individuals, which ere duly consigned to that address, although intended, strictly speaking, ably he government mdse.

The Needs do Vienne, whom relations with certain member of the Austrian governmeat are known, publishes a lengthy article epos the resod attitude of Atria in the Italian question. This journal meets, with emphasis, that the 111114111110 which Austria has taken in the Duchy of Parma had pre viously been approved of by France, and that the two Powers, having common interests to preserve, have also a perfect understanding upon all points, and are determined to prevent the ambition of Pied mont, and the efforts of the national party, from dis turbing the own of law and order in the Italian penin sula. " England," says the Austrian journal, " which omitted to send her vennle to protect the fabulous constitution of Sicily, although she had guaranteed it, will take care also not to despatch one single steamer to the coasts of Italy to bed the wee of the London prem. Under these eireamstances the guarantee against emissaries and colporteers of sub versive ideas, w►ich Austria has established on the frontier of Parma, will neither affect the treasury et our empire nor increase its army." Another journal of Vienna, the Oat. Deutsche Pod, passes en exaggerated eulogy upon the Austrian representative at the Conferences. "M. de Bnol," it says, "has realised the great idea of Marie Therese and her minister, M. de Hawaii:, viz., the alliance of France and Austria." The Paris correspondent of Lo Nord informs us that previou to quitting Paris, Count Cavonr had an interview with Count Walewski, and handed to him, in the name of the Sardinian government, a note, in which are summarised the observations offered by Count Cavoar upon the situation of Italy, in the sittings of the Conference on the Bth and 16th of April. This note is intended to absolve Pied mont from the responsibility of the events which may transpire in Italy, as the result of the bid admi. nistration of terrain States and of Austrian inter vention in the Legations, the Duchies, Naples, deo. The note is to be presented also to the English government. At Genoa a report is current that a Conference will be held, ere long, at Rome, to determine the future arrangements for Italy. Accord ing to this story—upon which but little reliance must be placed,—the ainbamadors resi ding at Rome will take part in the Conference, and England, not having a minister there, will be repre sented by Lord Normaaby, why resides at Florence. The Conference of a similar &exactor, held in Rome in 1831, was not successful. The memorandum which the Powers presented to the Court of Rome at that epoch wu without result. It will be remembered that Cardinal Bernetti, Secretary of State to Gregory XVI., followed none of the plans suggested by the memorandum, and that the few conoession. which were granted on the occasion of the movement in Central Italy, were withdrawn by Cardinal Lam brusobini, who succeeded Cardinal Bernetti in the secretaryship of state.

In the sitting of the Corps Legislatif yesterday, on the occasion of the introduction of the Count de Labecloydre, the newly elected member for the Seine Inferieure, Count de Montalembert made an import ant speech on the subject of the recent decision of the Court of Cessation with respect to the liberty of distributing electoral bulletins. Immediately on rising, he wu interrupted by th e President, Count de Moray, who inquired whether he disputed the election P M. de Montalembert re plied that be did not. Hie only object was to make some general observations on the working of the electoral law. He admitted that the present rules of the house did not give him a right to make any interpellation. An interpellation would involve an answer; he did not ask for, he knew that he had no right to expect, any. He merely wished to ex press an opinion with regard to the electoral law. The President said it was most desirable that there should be no misunderstanding. He had always thonght,and was now more than ever convinoed,that the beet considered constitutions, the most far-seeing regulations, required in their working the assistance of the parties acting under them with good faith and common sense. Interpellations had been erased from their regulations, and could not be made. But he was prepared to acknowledge that observations presented with moderation, and in a good spirit, might be made in that house with advantage to the country, to the house itself, and even to the government. He would therefore authorise M. de Montalembert to make his observations, bat under the express reserve that the ' government should not be obliged to answer them, and that he (the President) should have full right to stop the speaker if he Sound the course of his obser vations transgressing the limits alluded to. M. de Montalembert said he availed himself the more willingly of the opportunity, because what he had buy had no reference to the particular election then before them. His observations would contain l nothing that could be offensive for the deputy newly elected. He only wished to speak of a g I ques tion which, as it appeared to him, affected the honour of two assemblies, the present chamber and that which had preceded it. When he spoke of the honour and iudepeedence of the Cops Legislatif, he also meant to speak of the honour end strength of the government, for the two were indissolubly connected with each other. That which in the eyes of the country and in the eyes of Europe, in the eyes ot friends and enemies, constituted the 'aeon testable and iecomparable • strength of the present government, was above all the extraordinary sanction it had re ceived from universal suffrage. Bat it was still essential that the persistence of this sym pathy on the part of universal suffrage should be demonstrated. Now in what manner could this sympathy be demonstrated? Why by elections, and chiefly by elections for the Corps Legislatif. If the sincerity, ti.e liberty, and the integrity of the elec tions were open to question, a fatal blow would be struck at the independence of the Corps Legislatif, and at the same time at the power and dignity of the government. The brilliant consecration which the government had obtained in its inception, the glorious and legitimate war terminated by a no less glorious peace, would be all insufficient to preserve the government against the principle of weakness which would result from any deterioration of universal suffrage. He declared that if he were a violent and factious man ot opposition he would clap his hands in secret delight at the judgment given by the Court of CRUM lion; he would hope that government might obtain rimy such judgments, and that it might rigorously act upon them, and that the prefects might be authorised to denounce as enemies of the Emperor men who had been his ministers, sa had been done in the case of M. de Chspeeloup Laubat, and that they might lock up in prison every bearer of an electoral bulletin—be would hope and wish for all this, because he was thoroughly convinced that such a course of conduct could not foil to rejoice the spirit of opposition where it existed, and to raise it up where it was dead. Bct, as a good citizen ' he wished to give the governm e nt a w a rn i ng dic tated by the spirit of justice and loyalty. The very word election implied choice, and choice meant that one candidate might be preferred to another. It was the right of the elector to make preparation for his choice. Art. 21 of the organic decree stipulated that the electors should come to the poll with bulletins prepared outside the electoral meeting. Every elector might therefore have recourse to a third party to prepare his bulletin. There might therefore, ac cording to this decree, be concert and discussion between citivens. From this it necessarily resulted to his mind, that the distribution ot bulletins by one elector to another was a thing permitted. Now it seemed to him that the judgment of the Court of Cu sation prohibited this intercommunication when there was no previous authorisation by the prefect, and this was, in his view, equivalen t placing the election in the hands of the prefectoriai administration. He re minded the house that after the revolution of 1848 it was decreed that the voting by universal suffrage should take place in the chief town of the canton. That was a system which rendered voting as difficult as possible for the country populations, while it favoured the inhabitants of totem,. But there was soon a reaction against this law. He had himself ad dressed the following words to the Constituent As sembly The people sometimes pardon govern ments that oppress, but them ; it is to deceive a people to promise universal suffrage in a constitution and withdraw it from them in practice." After a long struggle the cause he then advocated was victorious, and the vote by sections was allowed. It was by the vote thus organised that the President of the Republic and the Second Assembly were elected. He was no great admirer, for his own part, of univer sal suffrage, but as long as it existed he desired to see it honestly acted upon. He would infinitely prefer the institutions of the first empire, when the &note named the Corps Legislatif, to a deceitful system of universal suffrage. Speaking ot the judgment of the Court of Cassatien, be quoted sarcastically a saying describing what a court of justice should be : " La roarmulcts* arras, et non dor services." He hoped the government would not make use of the fatal pre sent which the Court of Caseation had made • that court might reverse its own jadgment. as it h ad done on former occasions; bat as it might be long berme it did this, he called for as alteration of the law on this momentous subject. PARIS, soave: Evmmio. M. de Moetalembert's speech, of which I wee enabled to send you a tolerably full report yester day, appears to-day in the Afessiteur. To complete my account (sufficiently accurate in all other parties , late) I subjlin from the official journal the text of the very mularkelge peroration. I must premiss that the official reports of the debates in the Corps Logi'latif (the only reports permitted) ere drawn up under the supervision of a committee, whose busi ness it is to tone down, so far as decently possible, Use rare opposition speeches that may be made. In the present instance, I am told, by an me wit ness, that the report is far from doing justice to the speech. However, enough remains to proders a profound sensation in the public tailed, considering that the ifasii•w is placarded in every commune in Prance. Every man in the country who can reed will have an opportunity of seeing that the Supreme Court, the Court of Cessation, has been calmly mad deliberately d.nounoed in the people's house as an accomplice with the government to render universal suffrage a mockery, and be will moreover see in the wretched gabbling defence of the President of the Cruel' of State a oonellaive toethweey to the truth of the eeeentioe. The following is the eeselnding pomp of IL de Mootalinnberee speech es glvew is Ithe Messitsers The "Weer eatlefpesed test e. woahl be enema of I west if peeper reopen ter the )alts Wt of seen or ley.

It followed, therefore, that any barrister, any accused paean, was free at this moment to contend before all the mate of France, in any other canoe, that the doctrine of the Court of Cuution was wrong. He claimed for Women, in that house, u one of the esthete, or, at least, one of the advocates of the law of 1849, which the Canal. of Cusation had to strangely in terpreted, the same liberty which t►e law granted to eny advocate, or any accused party. The debat, on that law was a wondrous instance of the courage and onion which were (wooed to faction at the time. He would 1 1444 to the recollections of the President of th e Council el State, and the President of the Corps Legielatif, who then, in eonjunchon with other &oil citizens, die played their habitsal firmness against the party of disorder. He iavoked their testimony, fully persuaded as he was that they would then have been the first to protest against the imputation that they were making a law the result of which would one day be to prevent the distribution of elec toral bulletins. The Idontegaards themselves shrunk from the notion of drawing any such consequence from the intention of the framers of the bill. But what no Monies/nerd had dared to dream of, the Procaine- General of the Court of Cessation had done, and he had thus attributed to the authors of the law the intention to render uni I suffrage illusory. It was against such en interpretation that the authors of the law ought to protest with all their might. If in 1862 a new law had ►een made, if the Emperor had then thought fit to suppress the liberty of distributing electoral bulletins, the law would exist, and tho y would have aothing to do but to conform to it. But th-.t such a @occlusion should be deduced from a law voted at a period of extreme liberty, when reep,ct for the rights of the erector went so far as to establish his positive right not ocly to distribute lids of candidates but el o circular, and elec•oral addresecs—that is to saymritioga of the most impassioned kind—was something inconceivable. He would not dwell further on the point; be would confine himself to saying that there were twos's tams of interpreting law. The one was the judaic, which he might also call the Britanaic system, for the English sticking rigorously to the text of their laws sometimes or,w the strangest consequences from them; the other was ill, ia4. rpretahoa which he would call Fren.h, and witch coneieted in seeking, above all things, fi r the spirit of the text. The first system might be summed up in the maxim summon rue, summa irouria; the second was that wlrch had away honoured the French judges, soil a h.ch might be described in their celebrated Phrase, "La mar rend des crests et non des minces." (T►e court gives judgment, and does not render services.) He would ask which of these two systems bad been followed by the Court of Cessation ? He was coovinced that it will not for the interest of the government, and that it was not Its desire, to me the fatal pow. r which had been conceded to it by the Court. But he did not think that any more or less official declaration—lay more or less tolerant applica tion of the la --euuld now be accepted as satuf.ctery. No doubt it was possible that the Court of Condon might re viie its own jousprudence, as bad been seen before, and especially ill re t ard to the law on duels, but they might have bon to watt for such a result. A prompt and t fficeci one remedy was celeu tor. It, therefore, appeared to him that a mcw law wee necessary. It is a circumstance to be noted that, white M. de Montalembert, in that quiet and unobtrusive way which distinguishes his oratory, was uttering wither ing sarcasms upon the Court of Caseation, the Pro cureur-Chaeral of that court, Al. Royer, was sitting opposite to him in one of the strangers' galleries. The President of the Council of State, M. flambe, who did not avail himself of the condition made by M. de Moray, that the government would not hold itsaf bound to give any answer to M. de Montalembert's "observations; bad really no argument to advance against them. He merely expressed his horror at the attack upon the most immaculate Court of Caseation, read over their judg ment, and gave, in the name of the government, that very declaration which M. de Montalembert had so pointedly said beforehand would be of no value, namely, that it was not intended to make use of the law as declared by the court. He had recourse to the miserable quibble that the electoral law quoted by M. de Montalembert did not contemplate the free circulation of electoral bulletins, but only of electoral lists, whereas, as M. de Cbaaseloup-Laubat proceeded to show afterwarde, the electoral lists were abolished alter the coup d'etat, and the bulletins, which ire only nut lists because they must only con. taro the name of a single candidate, were subati. toted. M. Baroche, anticipating the judgment of the Court of Caseation on the distinc tion taken between municipal elections and elections for the Corps Legislatif, declared,with blind and des perate tenacity, that the government would insist upon the tight of regulating the distribution of bul letins with regard to all elections whatsoever. The fact of this diecusaion having taken place at all marks an epoch in the history of the present French regime. It is the first timo that any member of the Corps Lc giolatif hes succeeded in exercising an " The precedent is most important. Prince Jerome went last night to see Rietori in " Medea." This is the first time that his imperial highness has been to a theatre since his serious illness.
