LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1855.

The opinions to which we have from time to
time given expression respecting the duplicity and
treachery of Austria receive additional corrobora-
tion day after day, and but little doubt can now
exist as to the nefarious deception practised on
the representatives of France and England. In-
deed it required but little prescience to see the
game that Austria was playing from the beginning.
It is said that "Hawks don't pick out hawks eyes,"
and it could scarcely be anticipated that one des-
pot would assist in the humiliation or limitation
of the power of another, more especially when the
party concerned was one who, but a short time
before, had sustained the throne of the other, and
who might ere long be again required to repress
the indignant struggle cf outraged nationalities.
But, for the possibilities "looming in the future,"
what has already taken place might not greatly
influence the decisions of Austria ; if it had any
any effect, it would most probably be unfa-
vourable to the party who conferred the benefit,
for ingratitude is one of the characteristics
of the ffouse of Hapsburg. Daring the long
period of inaction by the ABERDEEN Administra-
tion, while they " were waiting for Austria,"
we pointed out the futility of the expectation, and
clearlg,..showed that the only mode by which her
c"PeFation could be obtained would be by thrash-
