ANOTRER AUSTRIAN CIRCULAR.

VIENNA, JUNE 12.—The Wiener Zeitung of yes-
terday evening contained the following despatch,
which was addressed by Count Buol to Count
George Esterhazy, the Austrian Minister at Berlin,
on the 31st of last month :

"The accompanying document is a copy of the re-
script written by Baron Von Manteuffel before the Prus-
sian Government received our confidential communica-
tions of the 24th. By the latter we have according to
promise, fully acquainted the Royal Cabinet with the
nature and extent of our propositions respecting the
third guarantee-point, and Prussia is, therefore, enabled
fully to examine the whole political situation. ire think
we cannot better reply to the rescript which has been
communicated to us than by expressing our sincere wish
that the examination (above alluded to) may lead to that
complete understanding which it has always been our
aim to establish between the two Powers.
"We must, however, give utterance to some reflec-
tions to which the expressions of the Berlin Cabinet
have given rise.

"Agreeably to our wish Prussia has refrained from
supporting the vague (tondos) offer made by Russia to
the members of the German Confederation 'to adhere to
the agreements made at the Vienna Conferences in re-
spect to the first two guarantee points, on condition that
Germany should remain strictly neutral. By reserving
to herself the right of examining into the value of this
offer in connection with the detailed communications on
the same subject which Austria would be able to make
to her federal allies, Prussia was guided by that feeling
which we confidently hoped to find in that allied Power,
and which, as we with satisfaction remark, is shared by
all the other German Powers. When we promised
openly and sincerely to lay before our German allies our
views relative to what is requisite for the interests of
Europe and Germany, we certainly were far from desir-
ing to encr a,ch on their right to judge, and that with
the most perfect freedom, for themselves ; on the con-
trary, we rather appealed to their judgment, and did not
suppose that the expression used on this subject in our
circular despatch of the 17th could be misunderstood.
"Ought we, however, to recall anything which
that despatch says concerning the constquence of the
step taken by the Russian Court ? We think not.
It is because Germany is standing on the basis of the
treaty of April and its additional article that, in our
opinion, it can neither be considered strictly neutral
nor can it be expected to become so as long as the
bases of peace are not settled, and as long as the
Turkish territory requires our protection. And were
we not perfectly right in saving that an offer addressed
to all the members of the Bond, which they could not
accept without being in opposition to the first Power in
the Confederation, contained an attack on its unity ? We
are as little able to fancy the Bund without Austria as
without Prussia. We understand that under present
circumstances Russia, setting Austria aside, should desire
to influence the views of the other members of the Ger-
man Confederation, but if we had been in a position to
give a counsel to the Court of St. Petersburg, we should
have considered it our duty, and certainly not exclu-
sively on account of our own position, but rather in
our quality of a German Power, most decidedly to advise
it against taking such a step. The Prussian Cabinet
must already have been convinced by our rescript of the
24th of this month that we know how to appreciate the
sentiments of which it gave us a proof by declining to
require of the Bund that it should take into considera-
tion an incomplete basis proposed by a third Power, and
in op position to our views. We do not doubt that
Prussia with us in thinking that a considera-
tion fr whiell
position and duty not only of Austria, but
et
of the whole of Germany, must be opposed to any dis-
cussion in the Diet on the subject of the declaration of
Russia.

‘' It is to be hoped that the confidential communica-
tions of which Baron von Manteuffel is now in possession
will strengthen Prussia in her inclination to act in open
accord with us in her future measures, and in influencing
our common Federal allies. In as far as we are con-
cerned, we shall congratulate ourself, if by her so doing
things may take such a turn that we and our Allies
(England and France) may not in future have to ob-
serve any reserve towards Prussia in respect to nego-
tiations which may be pending.

"Your Excellency will give a copy of this despatch
to Baron von Manteuffel.

"Accept, &c.,

"Buor,"

According to the Presse d'Orient the French prisoners
released in exchange by the Rus,ians agree in reporting
that, while the Czar's army in the Crimea receives rein-
forcements from Perekop, all his provisions are drawn
from Kertch and the ports on the Sea of Azoff. This
fact may now be regarded as more than sufficiently esta-
blished.
