TREATY BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND THE

WESTERN POWERS.

From the letter of our Paris Correspondent,
which appeared in our Second Edition of Saturday,
we learn that it is confidently believed in that
capital that a treaty of alliance, offensive and de-
fensive will very shortly be concluded between
Austria and the Western Powers. There can, we
t trust, be little doubt that this expectation will turn
out to be well founded ; and, indeed, it is in accord-
ance with all that we already know respecting the
result of the attempts which have recently been
made, by the Courts of Berlin and St. Petersburg,
to influence the counsels of the Emperor Francis
Joseph. The mission of Colonel Manteuffel to
Vienna has proved entirely abortive, and he
carries back to his Sovereign the announcement
that Austria can neither aid nor countenance his
weak and temporising policy. The time has at last
arrived when Prussia must either accelerate bet.
;
movements to keep pace with Austria, or disunite
herself from her yoke-fellow, and drop unregard
into the rear. N negotiator
been more prosperous in his operations at Vienna
for Prince Gertschakoff has utterly failed in th
confessedly arduous undertaking of
satisfying the
Austrian Cabinet that his master is

niraity. It is, in fact, patent to Il and Inagua-
Russia herself has lost faith in hera the world that
mys-
tification, for she has, for s powers of
concentrating masses of troopsome time past, been
the view of meeting on her frontier, with
the hostility of
neighbour, which she
foresees can ' no longer be
evaded or delayed. At the
same time, the cease-

vania and the Bulio ' wina

the truth which is scarcely whispered at the capital;
and capi • •
and though diplomatic reserve may still delay '
for
a few days the open adoption of a decided course of
action,• it is evident that the Cabinet of Vienna is
irresistibly impelled in
the direction prescribed by
its duties and its interests.—Morning Chronicle.

THE VOTE BY BALLOT SOCIETY have issued an ad-
dress to the electors of Beverley, in which they say :
"You are called upon to elect a member to represent
your political feelings and wishes in the House of Com-
mons. Do you wish the vote that you are called upon
to give at Parliamentary elections to be really free and
uncontrolled ? Let that wish be clearly and emphatically
de eared at the hustings, by polling for Hastings and the
ballot."

This is a very spirited compusition, , which is
likely to become a favourite with the musical
public. Tho air, though simply arranged, is
striking and original, and the words (no incon-
siderable merit) are also superior to the sentimental
effusions which so often mar the effect of the best
accompaniment. They are capable of much ex-
pression, and, if sung with taste and feeling,
would be very effective. It is not out of the reach
of ordinary voices, and is equally suited to the
student, or to those advanced in vocal science. We
can cordially recommend it to those desirous of at-
taining a song not difficult of acquisition, and
which will well repay study.
