TURKEY.

Some Austrian correspondence from Constanti•
noplo states that Fuad Effendis instructions
for his mission to Cairo remain unknown.
It is added that the difference between Turkey
and Egypt have "entered into the most dangerous
phase, that of the denouement. The English milks
seder has received fresh instructions within these few
days. The French consul at Jerusalem arrived at
13cyrout on the 13th ult. from Constantinople, after
spending nine months in that city to arrange the
~question of the Holy Sepulchre.

DEATH

PRINCE SCIIWARZENBERG.

We have received the following from our Paris car.
respondent,respecting the death of Prince Schwerin.
burg, the Austrian premier, the intelligence of which
fact reached London last evening by electric tele-
graph :
PARIS, TVEADAT Evzsmo.
The government has received to-day a telegraphic
despatch from Vienna, announcing that Prince
Schwarzenberg died suddenly at six o'clock yester-
day afternoon, by a stroke of apoplexy. I and
scarcely say what an immense sensation has been
produced in this capital by the sudden extinction of
the minister who has been during more than three
years the soul of the reactionary policy of Austria.
The chief importance of this news in a French point
of view is that the relations of Louis Napoleon with
the cabinet of Vienna will receive a considerable
check from this event. That Sell warzenberg
favoured the coup dant and the despotic views of
the French l'resedent there can be no doubt; and the
sympathy which united both as the scourge, of the
democratic party went fur to favour up to a certain
point the Austrian and French alliance. Thus wo
have seen the armed intervention of those leagued
powers for a moment imminent in Switzerland, and
perhaps only temporarily postponed. The death of
Schwarzenberg is regarded as a heavy blow to the
Prince-President's external designs, which were all
more or lose framed upon the supposition of a close
alliance with Austria. The basis of that alliance
were the aggrandisement of the Roman Catholic
church, and the perpetuation of sword-law. In pro
portion as the great protestant power of Germany
was, by the habits, morality, and intelligence of its
people, as well as by their need of civil and religious
liberty drawn towards the alliance of England, Aus-
tria is obliged to seek a counterpoise against Prussia
ascendancy in Germany by courting the vowels
which are mast jealous of l'russia, among which
France stands first. _ _ _

period in the eventful history of Austria. Summoned
to the highest civil office, at a moment when Austins,
when all Germany, was in a state of political con.
vuision, when Austria was threatened with civil and
foreign wars, and actually at war with Sanlinia—
when the finances and credit of the empire were at
their lowest ebb—when the popular feeling of all

than that which followed his attempt to create new
iu.toutions for the Germanic Confederation ; the
latter. to his consummate annoyance and dismay,
ended in the resumption of the unmanageable old
'tau. and the former have forced the northern states
et tk rmany. with Prussia at their head, into a

la-ting commercial league. 'f he internal policy,
which. acting under the orders of tho secret im-

has been to adopt and. to. improve—by increasing

Mette rniech so well succeeded in endowing

*lairs spoke of the a-chancellor in the most con-
Univ.. anus and mailing terms. During his ministry
the milttary mid pollee despotism under which the
united moieties of Austria now groan, obtained a
pt rfietion hitherto unknown; during his ministry,
and with his direct sanction, more atrocities—wit-
m-a the hangings at Arad and the woman-floggings
at both- tc committed than can be found in any
ether periesl of similar duration in the history
et IL,. isal.;ce. As during the last four years Prince
14,111,am:de 41 has so successfully earned • high
piaci in the - Nottrate Calendar" of despotic kings
and fed ministers. his antecedents will naturally, and
W.th I euelaHe curiosity, be inquired after. But few
of these% and none very creditable, ire known. Born
of a princely family —he was the nephew of Field-
Marshal Prince Schwarrenberg, who commanded
the aline! armies at Leipzig—his brother is • cardi-
nal. and Bishop of Prague—the late Prince Felix
bought fame in his younger days in diplomacy
mid in the army. In the latter his services
have not obtained any very brilliant recog-
sitioe. while in the former ho has been
bk-sed with successful failures out of number.
Iley.sul all question, however, tho late minister de-
find his greatest notoriety from his successes and
filmes in conflicts neither diplomatic nor military.
Wherever tither of these services summoned him he
invariably found time and leisure to bestow on the
serviee of Cupid. In St. Petersburg, in Naples, and
in I.ondon. the diplomatist was a successful wooer;
ih.ai,.:ll in the two latter cities his successes were
voided by unpleasant consequences. In Naples, the
l.a/;7.roni. and in London, a court of law, revenged
the mjund husbands. At the time of his death,
Prime Sehwarzenbcrg was an outlaw from this coun-
try nu account of unpaid damages and costs.
The Austrian Emperor has undoubtedly experi-
enced a loss by the death of a willing servant ; his
place may be temporarily difficult to fill, but it
will not have other than momentary effects on the
present system of government, u he was not the ori-
ginator, but merely the adapter of the system, and
as his position, especially recently, was essentially.
administrative, the Emperor Francis Joseph will
doubtless tied another equally willing servant among
the numerous military and diplomatic courtiers who
surround him. One thing may, however, be calcu-
lated on with tolerable certainty; whoever may be
his -necesear be emit be a greater foe to England
and Prussia than win Prins Schwarzenberg. The
Austrian pee* gain nothing, the Emperor loses
rocking by his elsath ; England and Prussia may gain
a milder and mu temperate &welcher to negotiate
with."
