AUSTRIAN DESPATCH.

The following is the text of the Austrian despatch
of the 6th of February, addressed to the Austrian
representatives at the different Courts of Germany :
VIENNA, FIB. 6,
The serious anxiety which affects the political 'filiation
of Europe since the commencement of this year has also
been sslonely felt in every part of Germany. To the

deem peace, end whose efforts tend to so many important
resits of which pence is the condition, genral conffdenee

This id, which none can deny, is a bright and matiefectory

Vadat theta circumstances, not a few German cabinets
have sapremoi to us tip!, wish to examine closer by whet

In ease of an attack on Austria, could be adopted so as to be
prepared at a moment's notice. On various sides our
opinion has been sought on the stets of stain, eapsci ally as
whether it would be opportune to provoke a declaration
from the constitutional authority of the German Confeds-
deration, or to prepare resolutions for eventual adoption by
that authority. This induce me to make confidentially
known to our allies our views upon the necoorittes of the Fo-
unt atilt's:ion.

This situatins shows an improvement in the political
symptoms which indicate in a more restricted manner the
mistime of a danger of immediate war but at the same
time, by the abeence of all guareatet:, that the explo.
don of war in Italy may take place at any moment,
under any pretext whatever, end age's' threaten in a
serious manner the peace of Europe. Faithful to its' mo-
deration and love of peace, the Austrian Cabinet sin
suet ell its efforts to prevent ulterior complication.. But
we oannot clue oar eyes to the fact that, as long as the
policy of Sardinia perseveres in He prevent etuiracter, con-
trary to the law of nations, sad calculates upon war and

Coder Were circumstances, we mast In truth attach a great
importance to the conviction being hilly ettablished in St-
rop that Overmany, closely united, will not allow each as
attack to be made.

We do not, it is Imo, draw the conclusion there'rom that
the suitable moment bee arrived to open deliberations at
Frankfort and for the German Confedention to take tic :idol

We must take late careful consideration the presumed

influence of those coissideretiocia, we, for the present, are ou-
