AUSTRIA.

The Augsburg :GazetM of the 31st ult.-gives the
following detailed• account of the recent transac-
tions between France, Austria, and England: The
article is as follows :
The mission of Count Valentine Esterhazy is the
result of a complete understanding between the
Western PoWers 'and Austria. Since the com-
mencement of the Eastern crisis, the understand-
ing bet Ween the three Cabinets has never been so
clear, .cordial, and perfect, as it now is, and this is
as well in regard to the new conditions of peace as
to the measures to be taken, if they shottld. be
rejected. The terms olpeace will be recapitulated,
and such remarks made on them as may appear
necessary:-- ,

The Russians to relinquish all claim to the
right of protection over the Danubian Principali-
ties, and to agree to certain conditions for
securing their future political position. This
point, though difficult of execution, is expressed
in such clear and positive language that,—if it
should be accepted,—it will be impossible for
Russia to exercise any prejudicial influence on the
negotiations' for the regulation of the affairs of the
countries in question. In short, it is demanded
that Russia shall simply accept the arrangements
which may be made, without sharing in the
negotiations, or in the resolutions which may be
taken.

2. Cession of a part of the Bessarabian territory,
of such' extent that Russia shall not only be
removed from the Delta of the Danube, but shall
entirely relinquish her position on the Danube.
(The geographical line for the new frontiers of
Russia, which is given in the propositions, is
drawn at a considerable distance from the
Danube) _ . _

3. Neutralisation of the Black Sea, without any
Russian fortifications or arsenals on its coasts. At
the mouths of the Danube, however, there is to be
a station for the smaller vessels of war. which are
to do police duty in the Black Sea.
_,_

4. All the poW'ers to protect the Christian sub-
jects of the Porte. The foregoing proposals ema-
nated from Austria, but the Western Powers added
—the admission of consuls to All the ports, of the
Black Sea, and the promise of Russia never in
future to fortify the Aland Islands.
In as (far as. iiustria is concerned, the proposi-
tions, without being an ultimatum; 'have the lin.

portance of one. The new agreement made
between ,the Western Powers and Austria is the
most straightforiyard and" loyal way, and 'a speedy
decision is required

is why such a short term has been granted to
Russia. In-case of the rejection of the proposi—
tions the diplomatic relations between Russia and:
Austria will at once,be broken off. It will depend
on the result j.lof Count Esterhazy's mission
