AUSTRIA.—Oar latest news from Vienna is to
Aug. 11.
' lathe course of the 10th Print* Orloff arrived there
from the head-quarters of Paskiewitch. Rumours
became prevalent as soon as the Prince's arrival was
known that Gurgey had been defeated by the Rus-
sians, and a bulletin announiing the definitive
triumph was momentarily expected. In a short time,
however, it was avertlined that Orloff was the mes-
senger, not of victory, but of defeat. Paskiewi'eb, it
is confidently stated, has been entirely ranted. No
bulletin was published, and at the time our de-
spatches were sent off the details were still un
known.

The intelligence from the seat of war is wholly un-
important. An Austrian corps was being coneen-
tented in Freeburg and Wieselburg. Raab still
continued in the hands of the Magyars. The Austrian
government had applied to the Porte for permission
to send troops through the Servien territory ;
the Divan, however, upon the advice of the French
ambassador, kas refused to grant it, notwithstanding
the pressing instances of both the Russian and Aus-
trian representatives.
Great excitement prevailed in the political world,
in consequence of the speech of Count Brandenburg.
Lloyd uses even hostile language. "It is remarkable,"
says this paper, "that the name of Austria is not
once mentioned in the opening speech. The Prussian
state appears as if it wished not to know that its
southern neighbour was in exlsterce. We thank the
Brandenburg cabinet for at last giving us a certainty.
That ministr,y of coups-ire/at, rendered arrogant with
the success which a popular representation uniformed
and fettered has given it, now seekers wider field for
its bold spirit of enterprise. It wants now to octrey
Prussia in reality at the head of Germany. It wants
to mkt a new map for this land, where you may look
in vain for Vienna, for Gratz, or Innepruek, pmsibly,
too, for Munich. In this laudable undertaking,
however, it may chance to stumble upon a
resistance less passive then what has been shown
by tke majority of the Prussian people. The
German central power still remains in the hands
of the Archduke John. One word is still able to give
to that power the substance and the vigour it has
hitherto been without. That the legitimate authority
of the Vicar of the Empire over Germany be
infringed upon as little by the usurpation of
North-German princes as by that of South-
German demagogues, to see to this, is now Austria's
duty, as it is its interest." Thus speaks the ministe-
ri ri paper. The °Welsh-14e Pod, a paper of inferior
weight since the retirement of Kuranda from the
editorship, but which represents the views of the mo-
derate part of the inhabitants, says : " Aust• ia be-
longs, if we err not, to the members of the European
state-family, and yet we must feel the conviction
that the relations of Prussia to Austria are anything
bat satisfactory, nor can they become so, if the Prus-
sian cabinet persists in passing off Prussia, magnified
by the tail of some petty German states, as ALL Ger-
many, or as the German federative state,' and gran-
diloquently, as well as usurpingly, to call a jumble of
three-fourths Prussians and one-fourth of other Oer-
Nine the 'first German did)"

WURTEMBERG.—Latest news from Stutgardt
to August 11.
After a sitting of nearly eleven months the cham-
bers were dissolved this day, by the minister Duver-
noy. The government, not having been able to come
'o any amicable arrangement with the princely houiie
of Taxis, respecting the cession of the poet by the
latter to the state, has now taken it definitively away ;
in other words, not having been able to get it from
the lawful and rightful possessor by fair means, it has
had recourse to foul.
