AUSTRIA.
(Front the Timcs' Correspondent.)

VIENNA, Sept. 2.—ln his letter of the 20th
August, which appeared in the second edition of
the Times of the 28th, your Turin correspondent
makes mention of certain articles that have re.
cently appeared in the Lombard and Venetian
official papers, in which the policy of France has
been eulogised and that of England condemned.
It is understood that the articles in question are
written at the instigation of the military autho-
rities in Italy, and they would hardly deserve atten
tion were it not that it has for seine time past been
the fashion here, and that in high non-military cir-
cles, to sneer at England, her institutions, and
Government. Up to the time that the propositions
of the Imperial Cabinet were rejected by the
Western Powers, the Austrian and British Go-
vernments managed to get on pretty well together;
but such can hardly be said to be the case at pre-
sent. Until peace is concluded Austria cannot
hope to see any real improvement in her finance,
and you will, therefore, readily suppose that the
Imperial Cabinet was somewhat wroth when
it learned that its hopes of peace had suffered
shipwreck on the " obstinacy of the British Go-
vernment. In order that you may fully under-
stand what is meant, it is necessary to state, that
the Austrian propositions would have been accepted
by the allied Governments, had it not been for the
firmness of a part of the British Cabinet. To use
the wi.rds of a representative of one of the first-
rate Powers, "M. Drouyn de l'Huys was sacrificed
to the English alliance by his master." Since the
negotiations for peace have been interrupted,
Endand has been almost as much " besmirched"
by a part, of the Austrian press as she was two or
three years ago, and Lord Palmerston natw ally
comes in for his share of the abuse. Prudence
forbids my saying much about the Anglo-Italian
Legion and the state of things in Italy ; but you
may be sure that the second leader in the Times
of the 23th of Aucieist will be wormwood and gall
to people here. The language employed by some
of the French Governmental papers in respect to
Italy has created a disagreeable' feeling here, but
it is the policy of Austria to remain on a friendly
footing with the Emperor Napoleon, and therefore
little is said on the subject. Louis Napoleon has
recently publicly shown that he is not ignorant of
his real position. Be well knows that he is still
considered a mere adventurer by the so-called
" Legitimate Governments," and that the British
is the only Court on whose sincerity he can
safely depend. It is suspected and feared that the
Allies harbour some evil intentions against Naples,
and therefore the strength of the Neapolitan army
has been made public. It is said to consist of 88
battalions, 36 squadrons, and 17 batteries. The
authorities continue to
.recruit for the Swiss regi-
ments.

Marvellously little importance is attached by the
Austrian public to the new Russian circular, and
the Wanderer is inclined to think that NI. de
Nesselrode's " piece of paper" has produced much
less effect than the letter which the Emperor
Napoleon recently addressed to General Pelissier.
M. de Nesselrode's circular is, as we are told, ex-
tremely pacific, but experience has shown that the
words and deeds of Russia do not always harmo-
nise. Twenty years ago M. de Nesselrode had a
memorial drawn up, in which it was shown to be
necessary that Central Asia should always •he " a
neutral territory" between Russia and British
India. When speaking of the present policy of
Russia in Central Asia,the Wanderer dryly observes
that the last overland mail is well calculated to
move the bile of the British Cabinet, and oven if
its members were gifted with " two-fold Aberdeen
patience." The paper in question is of opinion that
if the war should lie prolonged: the position of the
Russian advanced guard in Europe will become
excessively disagreeable. It need hardly be said
that by the Russian " advanced guard Prussia'
and Naples are meant. The Paris correspondent
of the Ost. Deutsche Post is generally extremely
well informed, and therefore it may, be well to
extract a few sentences from his letter ()Ulm 30th
of August :
"The Eastern question led to many conferences while
Queen Victoria was in Paris. The 'result of these confe-
rences is said to be a new treaty between France and
England, in which all (?) contingencies to which the war
in the East can lead are provided for. The treaty will
probably be kept secret, as its sole object is to give a firm
basis to the alliance between the two countries. I can
give you the positive assurance that the Courts of Lon-
don and Paris are fully resolved to strain every nerve
in order to break the power of Russia, and to reject
every proposal for the renewal of negotiations for peace
until the object which they have proposed to themselves
is attained."

It is necessary to be extremely cautious in taking
news from the columns of the Austrian papers, as
a great part of their so-called "original corres-
pondence" is concocted here, but confidence can
perhaps be plead is theauthouticity of the hatelli.

genes contained in the following letter, .which has
been received by the Ost. Deutsche Post :

"ODESSA, Aug. 25. —The arrival of the Emperor of All•
the Russias has probably been postponed on account
of the occurrences on the Baltic, for the preparations
making in the apartments in' the Boulevard, which he
was to have occupied, have been suspended. Next week
there will be grand manoeuvres here under the personal
direction of Adjutant-General Luders. 40 battalions,
32 squadrons, and 18 batteries will take the field.
Odessa will be attacked and defended, and the line of
attack will extend from the village of Lutsdorf to Mount
Shawachoff. Yesterday a part of Gen. Grothenjelm's
light cavalry division passed through the city on its way
to the camp, which is on the east side of it ; and soon
after several reserve battalions. of the 31th Life try Di-
vision followed. Officers belonging to the Imperial
Guard are seen lounging about the streets, and their
presence is a proof that the Guard Corps is not far di--
tent. A part of it is said to be already in Bessarabia.
Yesterday a report circulated here that the Allies bad
been totally defeated before Sebastopol, and the Victoria
Battery and the works an Mount Sapoun taken. The
police has arrested the person who spread the false news.
"For some time pasta notice from the Post Depart-
ment has been lying on the tables of the clubs, recom-
mending military men to read the Austrian Military,
Gazette, and civilians •to direct their attention to 'the
Prussian correspondence,'
The Sebastopol letters of the Vienna Militlir-
Zeitung have never found their way into my corre-
spondence, and its news from the seat of war has
always been received with extreme reserve. The
Morgen Post has taken the trouble to quote some
of the " grossest improbabilities" contained in the
recent Russian bulletins from the White Sea, but
they appear irrefutable truths when compared to
the St. Petersburg accountsof the effects Of the bom-
bardment of Sweaborg. It is whispered in Russian
circles that the real loss to the State may amount
to about 20,000,0001 The Auhalt Gazette has
private advioes from the Gerthan colony at Ascania
Nova, near Perekop, that the effects of the war
are more and more felt. Great numbers of troops
pass, and conflicts sometimes occur between them
about the water, which in that neighbourhood can
only be drawn in small quantities from the wells.
Not long since the colonists who were between the
ages of 16 and 30 were obliged to enter the army.
To-morrow the Emperor Francis Joseph will
leave the Castle of Laxenburg, and travel, by way
of Styria, to Ischl.

Our last direct advices from Constantinople are of
the 23d. Two Turkish divisions, under Osman and
Sefer Pasha, remain at Balaklava, and preparations
are being made for supplying the men with winter
tents and fur cloaks. On the 21st the new French
and British gun-boats entered the Bosphorus. The
latter are armed with mortars. Abdi Pasha, who
was with Guyon in Anatolia, is now the Commis-
sioner of the Porte at Varna, and is superintend-
ing the embarkation of the urkish troops.
