AUSTRIA.
( From the Times' Correspondent.)
VIENNA, Aug. 26.—The ALbtricai public is ex-
tremely impatient to learn the conditions of the
Concordat which has just been concluded with
Rome, but its curiosity is not likely to be soon
satisfied, as the Cardinals will meet in conclave
and thoroughly examine the important document
before it receives the ratification of the head of
the Roman Catholic Church. According to a
semi-official on dit, some of the demands made by
the Church were peremptorily rejected by
the Imperial Commission, and it is not
difficult to suppose that such was the case if
it be true that the Papal Chair proposed that the
right of sanctuary should be restored. After the
Concordat had been signed the Cardinal Viale
Prela, who is a very " smooth spoken" man, re-
turned thanks to the Emperor in the name of the
successor of St. Peter, to which the Monarch re-
plied that he, "as Apostolic Majesty," had only
done his duty. The subject is of extreme interest
and importance, but it is one of such great delicacy
that it would be imprudent to indulge in many
reflections on it. On the one hand the Imperial
Government has, by the abolition of villenage and
socoage, put an end to the petty tyranny of tile
nobles ; on the other it has, by the emancipation
of the Church from the State, immensely increased
the power and influence of the Roman Catholic
hierarchy, and the people are inclined to fear that
the clergy will " gall their withers" more than the
nobles ever did. The Berlin correspondent of
the Oest. Zeitung is of opinion that the speedy
return of Count Arnim to Vienna must be
considered a proof that attempts are again
about to be made by the Prussian and Austrian
Governments "to come to an understanding."
The two Cabinets are not likely to come to an un-
derstandine. on the Eastern Question, but it is pro-
bable that their attention has been forcibly at-
traded by what has recently occurred in several of
the smaller German States in respect to the Bund,
and that they consider it necessary to assume the
initiative in a matter of such importance as is
the reform of the. German Confederation. The
Bund, as it is now constituted, is viewed with in-
tense dislike by the different German nations, and
the example of the Wurtemberg Chambers will
speedily be imitated elsewhere. The Bavarian Diet
will be opened at the beginning of next month,
and the newly-elected House, if it is as "good
German" as its predecessor, will hardly fail to
make common cause with its Suabian neighbour.
Austria, for reasons of her own, upholds the Bund,
but it enjoys neither consideration nor authority
among the cther German States. Prussia laughs
the so-called " Central Power" to scorn ; and, not
long since, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, when
his .hitterschaft (nobles) appealed to the Bund,
strongly protested against its in any way inter-
fering in the internal affairs of his duchy. The
events of the last two years have proved that the
" Central Power" is little more than a political
fiction ; and the sooner it is replaced by a reality,
the better it will be for Germany.
Marshal Count Radetsky, who will be fourscore
years and ten next November, has been somewhat
un well. The report that no trains were to cross
the Semmering, because a rock had slipped down
on a part of the railway, has been contradicted,
but repairs are continually required.
The summer has on the whole been unusually
cold, but during the last two or three days the in-
habitants of Vienna have suffered greatly from the
heat. The thermometer has been as high as 117.50
Fahrenheit in the sun, and 97.25 Fahrenheit in the
shade. The weather is the more oppressive, as the
nights are nearly as hot as the days.

The Giornale di Rona of the 21st, contains the
following paragraph in allusion to Lord Palmer-
ston's speech (August 10), in reply to Mr. Bow-
yer's vindication of the Roman Government :
" We believe we are not mistaken in saying that
we have never read, in the Parliamentary history
of a great nation, a series of more insulting and
gratuitous declamations than those lately pro-
nounced by a Prime Minister against a Govern-
ment which is convinced it has never given any j
motive for so unjust an attack on his part. Never-
theless, we will not depart from our invariable sys-
tem, which coipists in not having recourse to re-
prisals. We merely limit ourselves to repelling
these vain and unfounded accusations, leaving the
shame to fall upon him who has uttered them."

The Corriere ltaliand of Vienna announces that
the Abbe Valenziani, chief secretary to the Papal
nuncio at Vienna, has set out for Rome with the
Concordat° just concluded with the Imperial Go-
vernment. He .is expected to return with the
ratification of it about the, middle of September.

The King of the Belgians and Count de. Flandre
left Brussels yesterday morning, for the camp of
Beverloo.

M. Dedecker, the Belgian Minister of the Inte-
rior, and M. Mercier, Minister of Finance, have
returned to Brussels, from their visit to Paris.
