AUSTRIA.

The Vienna Prose continues its censorious re-
marks upon the friendly feeling in England towards
Denmark. The applause in the House of Commons
is described as an " infamous tempest." England is
accused of arrogance, egotism, brutal haughtiness,
and complicity with the enemies of Germany ; and
the Posse prays for the adoption of a policy
"which even at the price of sacrifices proposes as
its avowed object the chastisement of British in-
solence." But it is not only with England that dis-
satisfaction exists. The Austrian organs fulminate
against the projects of annexation, or of a protecto-
rate, which the court of Berlin is supposed to
entertain. The Ost Deutsche Post goes so far as to
declare that Austria is now in complete antagonism
with Prussia. If Prussia persists in its feeble
attempts to carry off the duchies, this, says the
Vienna Prase, is what will happen :—" France will
increase its strength upon the Rhine, but some-
thing will be necessary for Austria, which could not
but demand Prussian Silesia. In this case Russia
would not wish to remain behind, and we may ex-
pect that she would claim the duchy of Posen and
the part of Bessarabia taken from her by the
treaty of 1856."
