RUSSIA, AUSTRIA, AND 'TAO

(Prom a Correspondent of the Morning PostJ 0
NAPLES, OCT. 4.—News has just arrivedjot
Naples, via Malta, of the commencement o!eio
tilities in the Danubian Provinces ; but no d_!;d
are given. If correct, you will have reo_l'e
better information than, I can afford ; for, ILO
as it may appear, our Malta news from the 0: 0
generally old and incorrect. I am, hower_
,'orti
possession of information, from sources 1114410
infallible, on the future policy of Russia, NVIP
_II
interesting.
It was never intended (says my infernis;lo tt
that Austria should take up any really hosts.;
titude with regard to Russia ; and it was peP
understood at St. Petersburg that the Cabinet
Vienna would withdraw precisely when it r fci!
no longer influence the Western Powers andid
ward the views of the Czar. The armies of ).-111
sia and Austria are now to unite and perman,,..7,o
occupy the Danubian Provinces. The No
rny
Powers calculate on being able to beat ji
Turks, on whom, however, they do not inters
advance, but rather wait to receive. The 01
object of the Northern Powers is to confil9o,
0
war—if they come to blows—as much as pew/ , 1
a frontier fight for the present. The Czar,
assured, is highly satisfied with the success u:,01
diplomacy, and considers he has gained, Sr 1
points by the hesitating policy of France and V I
land. He had calculated that the combined
_P,,,0
would have gone on to Constantinople 'roj
sooner, before he could have completed his°' tY,
arrangements for the winter. So far thee, li,
Czar thinks he has traded on the credulity of 1 bf
Aberdeen with some favourable results, assist' 0/
two powerful journals—one in London, an',
other in Faris.

Meanwhile Russian intrigue is hard at 114 0
both in Constantinople and Paris ; but,. "ii).
stated, hitherto, without the least success Ing I)
latter city. The Emperor holds on it" e 0
English alliance ; but in the City of the COO
much has been accomplished for the future. or
There are two evils which darken the P10,41°
Austrian plot—Hungary and Italy. Austria 0
culates that, with the aid of the Neapolitan areod
she can keep the Peninsula quiet, unless the Frioo;
move out of Rome ; whilst Russia engages to re'
after Kossuth's friends. Austria, it will 13e Oa
membered, possesses Tuscany, and part 01,01.0
Roman States, and the-King of Naples could 5V
30,000 men and a steam-fleet, if necessary, 3t ot°
moment, for foreign service. If France We:OY
move in Italy, it could only be in the cause otb
people ; and will she dare to do so, it is arEeotf
whilst despotic at home ? Such were the stldti
lately discussed by the boy-Emperor and the° tO
Czar, whose plans of action are now complete'
far as anticipated events will admit. 0;
co As I have before pointed out, the advaiy
Russia involves every political European ill!,,e901!
The state of Germany and Italy is such as ciTeago"
a closer and more openly pronounced army ' con'
with Russia. If bayonet Governments are to ford
tinue, it can only be by uniting in one hilg%llo,
the armed hosts of Russia, Austria, and the sjoi,`
States, the sovereigns of which, since 1848,, tje„
lost all independence by quarrelling witi',„reie
people, and sustaining themselves with a
_,,,.`" a be
soldiery. Russia, therefore, must advance f: iirlyo
ever ready to assist her allies, for which shat tike
some day demand payment as with Austria ;,,iii4
present moment. The vital question is narr. WO
daily—Shall the world again witness elvilisli
retarded by the strong arm of barbarism ?
