LONDON,- FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1855.

The duplicity and treac!iery manifested by

Austria since the commencement of the Russian
aggression, anal the cnn'equent declaration of War,

are beginning to produce their natural results.
The opinions which at one time we stood almost
alone in promulgating have now many strenuous

supporters even amongst those who formerly I
neatly advocated the propriety of " wolfing" for '
the Government of Vienna, and conciliating that
important Power. In deference to her wishes
we gave Russia a new chance of concluding

peace on the most favourable tertns—far too fa-
vourable indeed, so far as the honour and
interests of the Western Powers were
concerned ; and, deceived by her apparent acces-

sion to the cause of the Allies, the abortive
Conferences were held, which for so many months
scd the energies of Franca and England.
I.Vlien the friends of Germanism so loudly exulted
the a)-calied Treaty of the 2d of December we
pointed cut that it was entirely one-sided, binding
the Allies to everything, and Austria to nothing.
It was, in fact, a mere nudum, pactum, that should
have been absolutely null and void for want of
consideration. If Austria was attacked, she was
to be assisted by Francs and England ; but she
was not called on to render any material
aid in the arduous struggle in which they were
engaged. If her territories were invaded or her

nn ra

interests jeopardised, we were pledged to enter
into an ana.nee offensive and defensive. If, on

the other hand, Russia refused to accede to a

pace on the -basis of the Four Points, so cordially
approved of by Austria, she was only bound to
deliberate on the mode by which the objects of
the contracting Powers could be carried into prac-
tical execution.

Her trickery and duplicity are now openly
avowed. She prides herself on thefinesm (we should
use a more homely term), by which she converted
the Allies into tools to work out her own selfish
views, and to induce Russia to connive at her indi-
vidual aggrandisement. This she has accomplished

by the most flagrant disregard of her plighted
faith and of the spirit of the solemn engagements
into which she has deliberately entered. Prussia

has justly earned for herself the contempt of
Europe by the short-sighted policy which induced
her to abdicate the high position she once occu-
pied, and which she still aspires to fill. But Aus-
tria has merited something more than contempt,
inasmuch as it was by grossly false pretences that
she obtained admission into the Allied councils. Had
she in December declared her intention of remaining
neutral udder any circumstances she would na-
turally have been placed in the same category as
Prussia. And now that her pusillanimity is com-
bined with treachery and duplicity there is no
reason why she should occupy a better position,
or reap the reward of her shameless mendacity.
We trust that the Cabinetdof France and Eng-
land will at length exhibit becoming indignation
for the infamous deception that has been prac-
tised, and adopt effectual means to place Austria
in her true position. She can certainly no longer
have the slightest pretensions to the occupation of
the Principalities. That most [unwise and
impolitic
concession should be forth-
with withdrawn,
and the unfortunate inhabitants
rescued from a thraldom more irksome even than
that of Russia itself. There is now too much
reason to believe that step was taken by Austria
rather against the Western Powers than against
Russia. We witnessed its first fruits in the re-
fusal to allow the Turkish troops to
pass through
their own
territories, and the consequent libera-
tion of the army of Bessarabia to take part in
the proceedings of the Crimea. To this we owe
the sanguinary conflicts of Balaklava and 'nicer_
man, which, although they shed fresh lustre
on the Allied arms, were intended t 6
terminate in a very different manner. fly
holding Wallachia and Moldavia she would
be enabled to extend protection to Russia if de-
feated, ad to obtain a share of the booty should
the aggrew
ve Power in any degree be succeesful,
