THE RUSSIAN REPLY TO AUSTRIA.

The following is the text of the Note addressed
by Prince Gortschakoff to M. de Knorring, the
Russian representative at Vienna :
" Tzarskoe-selo, Aug. 26.
_

"You will find annexed the copy of a despatch from
Count de Rechberg, which the Austrian Charge d'Affaires
was charged to communicate to me.

"It contains the observations suggested to the Austrian
Minister for Foreign Affairs by the overtures contained in
my despatch of the 13th of July, and stales to our great
regre', that the Austrian Government differs from us in
opinion on most of the points which we have mentioned.
Our propositions had in view the work of conciliation, the
urgency of which Count de Rechberg has pointed out to us.
" My despatch of the 13th of July had for its object pre-
cisely to point out that idea, and to remove beforehand the
objections and the misunderstanding to which it might give
rise. We regret that it has not met with the adhesion of
the Cabinet of Vienna.

" The greater the value we should have attached to coming
to an understanding with it on a question in which we con-
sider our interests to be identical, the further are we from
wishing to prolong a discussion which will do no more than
prove a difference of opinion. We are persuaded that Count
de Rechberg will share in this feeling.
" We prefer to confine ourselves to the essential points of
his despatches, on which we at least intend to agree with
him.

" The Austrian Government wishes to see a state of
things promptly re-established in the Kingdom of Poland
which would restore tranquillity to that couniry, repose to
Europe, and security to the relations between the Cabinets.
We fully participate in that desire, and all that may de-
pend on us shall be done in order to realise it.
" Our august master continues to be animated with the
kindest intentions towards Poland, and with the most con-
of all his subjects, of all races, and of all
is an obligation which his Imperial rc
ei ll,iigtTioorhuyes flcevreeelleifnaagrs
e: towards all foreign Powers.
Ma-
jesty has accepted before God, his conscience and his people.
The Emperor devotes all his solicitude to fulfil it.
" As regards the responsibility which may be assumed by
his Majesty in his international relations, those relations are
regulated by public right. The violation of those fundamen-
tal principles can alone involve responsibility. Our august
master has constantly respected and observed those prin-
ciples with regard to other States. His Majesty has the
right to expect and claim the same respect on the part of
other Powers.

be betrayed, and in fact they generally assume the
demeanour which is
supposed to imply a very oppo-
site state of mind.
If their appearance of vexaticn
and ennui is really feigned, it must be admitted
that the counterfeit is remarkably well done. In
fact, they have entirely taken foreigners in. The
well known habits and aspect of an English family
travelling abroad for their pleasure have generated

English
people go out in a formal manner to take
their pleasure for a couple of months, they are
changed beings. Every variety and gradation of
emotion painful may be illustrated by a trainful
e
of English pleasure-seekers—from the Indignation
of the father of the family, who is certain that be
has been cheated because he cannot find his way
thr°ugtithe mazes of a foreign coinage, to the
plaintive languor of his youngest daughter, who is
wondering how long it will be before the journey
is over. The salient characteristic of the English-
man on his travels is that he appears to have the
luggage perpetually
on his mind. He wanders
through beautiful scenery, or conscientiou.ily per-
forms the prescribed round of lionising, with a mind
preeceupied, and at every interval his thoughts
turn back moodily to his carpet-bag. Or, if some
happy prec tutiou has set his mind at ease cone;„rn-
jog its fate, ho still cannot banish care. He has
got a eeetaia amount to do in the day, ann he is
quite certain that his party will not succeed in get-
leg through it. He seems to move under an abid-
ing consciousness that he will be too late for some-
thing.

CoLOSSELTM.—Mr. David Fisher, after giving
his " Facts and Fancies"
for more than 15t nights in
Landon, will conclude his successful " three months"
engagement at the Colosseum on Saturday, the 26th
of September, his benefit taking place the previous'
evening, after which this gentleman commences a
provincial campaign at Hastings on Monday next.
The favourite artiste, Mr. George Buckland, also
takes his benefit on Tuesday, Sept. 29, previous to
his leaving town for his autumnal provincial tour.
To make good for the absence of these two gentle-
men various attractions of a very remarkable nature
have been secured for the Colosseum.
