CHANGES IN AUSTRIA.

(Fmk the Daily News.)

By the sudden death of Prince Schwarzenberg, the
Presidency of the cabinet and the ministry for
Foreign Affairs became vacant, and, as has been men-
tioned before, the two offices are not to be hold again
by one person. It is known that Count Buol &lumen-
stein was summoned to Vienna from England immu
diately on the demise of the late minister, and it
appears already settled, though official notification
thereof is yet wanting, that ho will receive the port-
folio of foreign affairs. Count Bnol is known here
as the Austrian ambassador during the last nine
months, and is more than suspected of having been
ono of the prime movers in the great foreign intrigue
of the past year against Lord Palmerston. He is a
diplomatist of some standing, having served the
house of Hapsburg in Turin, in St. Petersburg, in
Frankfort, and in Dresden, previous to being seat as
ambassador to this country. When in the Ruin
capital, he was understood to passes the confidence
of the Czar in a very high degree; a circumstance
partly owing to his advocacy of .lodate goverment,
but much more to his intimate amardanamithismil-
ship with Baron Meyendorff, the present Rain
envoy in Vienna, who is one of tho most trusted mr-
Tants of the Czar. Count Buol was an indents
M ned of the late Primo Schwarzenberg, by whoa
be was considered to be the only swam compstest
to follow himself in the direction d timi_pciseedieip
lor the muffles' Dresden conferences bat
While thus engaged, it was ascertained that
Buol highly applauded the internal and external po-
licy of his friend ; and, like him, he accepted the
plans of Baron Bruck for the commercial union of
Germany. His mission in Frankfort was connected
with the restoration of the old Diet. The career of
Count Buol does not, therefore, countenance the
hopes entertained by some that his advent to case
will tend to ameliorate the present mereilmkgisepalis
system of government in Austria. gar so the sasto
sanguine believe that his short stay he Wand has
opened his oyes to the advantages of what in germ
rally termed constitutional government, and that he
will be prepared to advocate in the council of
his sovereign most important changes in the
government of the empire. Count Buol is not the
only Austrian: minister who has lived in England,

trian minister, under the present Emperor, whether
it be the Minister for Foreign or the Minister for
Home Affairkis a mere servant, bound in all important
matters to obey the dictates of his sovereign. That
each is really the state of things in Vienna will be
more apparent from the following remarks respect-
log the newly-appointed president of the ministry.
We were certainly not a little surprised to read in the
Cologne Gazette, received yesterday, that the Em-
peror had nominated 1)r. Bach to this post. Wo
were prepared for many strange things, but that the
only minister who is actually hated by several mem-
bers of the imperial family, who is opposed by the
intrigues, secret and open, of the most nameless
aristocratic faction in Europe, and who, during the
last year, more than once nearly succumbed to the
weight of that opposition—that Dr. Bach, Red
Minister of Justice, and then Minister of the Interior,
should now be raised to the highest post in the
empire, is certainly not a little startling. Our
readers can scarcely have forgotten that in the
revolution of March, 1848, Dr. Bach played
a very prominent part among the leaden;
of the radical party, and that he was
appointed to the Ministry of Justice in the
cabinet formed by Baron Wessenberg to carry out
the principles of constitutional government. The
famous Austrian charter of the 4th of March, 1848,
was in great part drawn up by Dr. Bach. When
