THE ATTITUDE OF AUSTRIA.

THE Earl of CLLIENDON affirmed, in the House of
Leeds, on Tuesday, that a the position in which we
us placed as regards Austria has nothing in it to
justify any censure upon her." His lordship added
eat " our position as regards the future, so far from
being worse, has improved, for England and France
are more free and unfettered with regard to any terms
they may choose to make than they have hitherto
been." It is hard to reconcile these apocalyptioal
phrases. If France and England are more free to
exact proper concessions from Rusin now than they
have hitherto been, they must have, up to
the time of Austria's recent change of atti-
tude, been hampered by the engagements
they had contracted to her. If Austria is not justly
liable to censure for the restraint which she imposed
upon the Western Powers before the change, then
the French and English Governments must. For
they mug have hampered themselves by promises to
Austria which they had no right to make. The Duke of Beaufort has taken the beautiful
