AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Sept. 11. —The Wanderer and . the
Donau, which have always been the staunch friends
of the Western Powers, now loudly rejoice in their
success. The latter writes—

" The Russians have been obliged to retreat to the
northern f,rt.i. A combined attack, from the harbour
with the fleets and from the Tcbernaya with the army,
and the Allies, elated as they must be by their recent
victory, will surely drive Prince Gortechakoff into the
inieri ,r of the Crimea. A-shott autumn campaign, and
ti.e Taurid Peninsula will pass from the hands of Russia
into those of the conquerors of the West."
The Wanderer expresses its satisfaction that
Sebastopol should have fallen at such an opportune
moment. The King of Naples will now see that he
cannot hope for assistance from Russia, the Russo-
German party in Greece will be less turbulent, and
Austria may, perhaps, take courage. The Em-
peror Francis Joseph, as the ally of Queen Vic-
toria and of the Emperor Napoleon, will natu-
rally offer them his congratulations on the suc-
cess of their arms. The Austrian Government is
in a curious position. It has no predilection in
favour of the policy of Russia, it dislikes England,
and has no confidence in the durability of the pre-
sent order of things in France. In the foregoing
sentence may perhaps be found the key to the pre-
sent policy of Austria. We learn from Berlin that
Prussia is greatly inclined to take advantage of
the present favourable oppartuuity for getting rid
of the onerous Sound duties. M. Lembke, who
acts for Prussia, is said to have proposed to
the Danish Government to "capitalise" the Sound
duties, and to pay a Certain sum once for all. The
Oesterr. Zeitung has a leader on the state of things
in Italy, in which the policy of France is lauded at
the expense of her ally. All the Austrian papers
which ale influenced by Government play the same
game, and endeavour to make mischief between
the two Western Powers ; but the alliance has al-
ready so often been sealed in blood, that a few
scraps of inked paper are not likely to disturb it.
During the last few days the cholera has carried
off several persons belonging to the higher classes
of society, and as a big tree makes more noise when
it falls than many little ones, there is a slight
panic in the city. Vienna is not a disagreeable
place to pass a few days or weeks in, but
those persons who are afraid of the cholera
would do well not to visit it just at present.
In the little province of Carniola, the capital of
which is Laibach, there have been 12,272 cases,
of which only 3,402 have proved fatal: in
Vienna, however, more than half the persons
attacked die, and that within a few hours. As
you were led to expect would be the case, the Em-
peror has Leen shooting in the Styrian woods and
mountains. Near Brand hof, which is the property
of the Archduke John, his grand-uncle, his Ma-
jesty shot several chamois. The Emperor, who
was dressed as a Styrian " jager," was received
with enthusiasm by the people. Count Colloredo-
Wailsee, the Austrian Minister at the Court of St.
James's, has received a month's leave of absence,
and is expected here to-morrow. General Baron
Prokesch has returned to Frankfort, but he pro-
bably pays a farewell visit to his diplomatic col-
leagues in that city. The military diplomatist
goes to Constantinople, " and being a man of
strong self-will, he will be the better able to
cope with Lord Redcliffe." It will be seen that
within a fortnight after his arrival at Constanti-
nople Baron Prokesch will be on the very best
terms with M. de Thouvenel, and at drawn daggers
with the representative of Great Britain. M. Isaac
Pereire is here, and it is related that he and the
Credit Mobilier are about to render Baron Bruck
material assistance towards the regulation of the
Austrian finances.
