THE PRINCIPALTTIES.

PAWS, Ariu. 10.
There has been a change of ministry at Beeharest.
The Conference of Perim remains yet disagreed on
the subject of the Principalities.

AUSTRIA AND PIEDMONT.

The Vienna correspondent of the Times, who has
a strong Austrian bias, writes from Vienna under
date of Friday last (the letter being printed in a
mond edition) :
In a few days Swill probably be my painful duty to inform
yen that Austria hem declared war against Sardinia, informa-
tion having rescbod me of an authentic character that the
Emperor Francis Joseph has expressed his resolve not to be
tbe Spielasa ("football" le the mast correct translation of
the word) of the Emperor of the French. Great complaints
eve made of the want of good faith of the French govern-
ment, which solemnly promised that it would make
Sardinia disarm if Austria ace ipted those four pro-
positions which were mentioned in coo of my recent
letters. Instead of herein that promise—which was made to
the British and Presidia governments—die Paris cabinet
Meisel Count Cams, net to disarm, and eabesquently pro-
posed that both Austria sad Sardinia should withdraw
their forces from the frontiers. The proposition was made by
one of the mediating Powers to Amtria, who rejected it, bat
at the seam Uwe Ispreseed her readiness to disarm, if
Frame end Sardinia would do so likewise. The mediating
Power—it was probably England—oommunkated the offer
aide by Austria to the Emperor Napoleon, who indirectly
rejected it, inserouch as he ordered the armaments to b, con-
timed with the greatest possible deepatch. Such conduct
es the pert of the French monarch naturally confirms the
Mildew In their suspicion that he is resolved on going to
war,' mad they am, therefore, now eonsidering whether
it weald net be better to take the initiative, and
endeavour to put the Sardleiana hors do combat before the
Fees& are fully prepared to take the field. The night be-
bre last • council of war, at which the Emperor prodded,
was held, and it was not at an end until towards 4 le the
morning, although ft bad met soon after 10 fa the
mashie. It is not unlikely that the question relative
to the advisability of immediately declaring war
spinet Sardinia was mooted ; bat no positive
intelligent' has yet reached me on the subject. Smerol
measures of Importance were, however, ?evolved on, and two
or three of them have 'me to my knowledge. The second
corps term% which forms the garrison of this city, will
leave for Italy in three or four days, and the ninth corps
erarrate, which is now in Moravia and Silesia, will take its
place. At this moment the Emperor is reviewing the first-
mentioeed mope on the Schmelz, a large open space outside
the limes on the road from Vienna to 13ohosbrunn. A power-
lel eemy-corps will be placed in the Tome :Aar Banat and
Ihreima Voivodina, as it it foremen that there will be
Meturbenoes in European Turkey if there should be
a war In Italy. No time will be lost In forming a
camp in Vorarlberg, which would be sapesed to the attacks
of the French should they violate the neutrality of Switzer-
' land. The first, or grenadier company of the regiment. of
the lisle which are in Italy and in this city are to be formed
into separate battalions of four momenta. each, and each of
the regiments le to have a new company instead of that
tikes from It. Each of the cavalry regiments belonging to
the Italian army and to the corps which is about to quit
Vienna is to have a reserve squadron. Six new battalions of
border troops are being rained, and the majors who ars to
command them have already been nominated. The foie-
-4 going information demon implkit confidence.
