THE LATEST NEWS FROM VIENNA.

ACCORDING to our most recent communications
from Vienna, Lord Jowx Russ= is understood to
see litUe or no prospect of race at present, and to
expeet to be in England by the 14th of April. We
may add that some of the most sincere end intimate
allies of Ministers express no regret at this state of
affairs, bet, on the contrary, freely express their con-
viction that any pesos made now would be precarious
and uncertain.

Respecting the course that will be pursued by
Russia, little doubt seems to be felt in any
quarter. How Austria will act is a more
puzzling inquiry. M. DROUTN DE LEUTS-at
least so says the Monitceir —is to proceed
immediately to Vienna. Qu the other hand, we
learn from a reliable source that Count NESEELBODE
is already on his way to that capital. When it is
deemed indispensable that the diplomatic champions
of France and Russia should have a personal rencostre
In the lists at Vienna, matters may be said to look
serious. Russia must entertain a strong conviction
that the wavering faith of Austria is assailable ;
France that its precious Ally requires to be narrowly
watched. The ready concession by Russia of those
point* which most affect the personal interests of
Austris, and the confidence with which Russia leaves
the garrisons of Poland to be occupied principally
by its Asiatic troops, had already pointed to the same
oonclosion.

But, whatever course Austria may see fit to adopt,
the war mast go on until Risen gives a sufficient
guarantee for the security and tranquillity of Europe.
And with reference to this consideration, it cannot
be too often repeated that nothing short of the dis-
mantling and cession of Sebastopol by Russia can be
accepted as a guarantee. The allegation that if Russia
consent to the diminution of its naval force in the
Black Bea, Sebastopol may safely be left standing,
cannot bear examination. Sebastopol is of no use to
Russia except for the purpose of aggranion.
Unies Russia is allowed to maintain a power-
ful fleet In the harbour of Sebastopol, that
fortress can afford no protection to Odessa or the
harbours in the Sea of Azoff. As a safe asylum for
any fleet that Russia may have constructed in secrecy
in the dekko of Nioolaieff and smuggled into Sebas-
topol, that fortress is a permanent menace not only
to Constantinople, but to the commerce and naviga-
tion of the Danube. So long as the Crimea, with
Sebastopol at its south-western angle, is held by
Russia, that power commands the Black Sea. Sebas-
topol in the bands of the Cants mast necessarily be in
the Benin what Algiers in the hands of the DETB
was in the Mediternecen. The fleets of the Alga
rinse were repeatedly swept from the seas by the navies
of France and England—their town was repeatedly
bombarded by the navies of France and England—
amendment for the future was solemnly promised by
the reigning flay after every such infliction--and

Algieri into its own bands. In like manner Russia,
after every defeat inflicted upon it by the European
Powers, will promise to desist from its antbidees

down, and the Asians mast be driven out of the
Crimes, notwithstanding the strenuous efforts of the
English and the European aristocracy to avert that
catastrophe. And these objects are not to be attained
by pounding away at the south side of Sebastopol
only. Everything that can be learned of the natural
and artificial strength of that stronghold increases the
certainty

that it can r be taken until it
is completely invested and it cannot be
completely invested until the Crimea has
been cleared of the Russian army that now
keeps the field there. The language held
npog this subject by Sir DE LACY Rums in the
House of Commons last night is u weighty u it is
true. The gallant General told the House that the
best way to wage war successfully is to concentrate
our forces upon one point, instead of scattering them
over remote and isolated localities; that the real
struggle with Russia will take place in the Bailin,
and that the greater part of our forces ought to be
directed thither ; that recruits for the army before
Sebutopol, and steamers of light draught and gun-
boats for the Sea of Azoff, ought to be sent off with-
out delay. If Ministers listen to this advice from an
able and experienced veteran, and act upon it with
intelligence and promptitude, they may yet redeem
their shortcomings; if not, they may rest assured
that any Government who conclude a peace, before
Sebastopol has been wrested from Russia and dis-
mantled, may make op their minds to undergo the
heaviest penalties an indignant nation can inflict
upon them.---Daily News.
