Against his expulsion from the Spanish territory."
The confidential letter of the 30th ult. from Count
Buol, the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs,
to Count Esterhazy, the Ambassador of Austria at
the Court of Berlin, is commented on by the Pays
in a leader, in which the principal points of this
really remarkable document are set forth. It says
—" The note declares plainly that Austria, as pro-
tectress of Turkey, will oppose every new aggres-
sion on the part of the Czar, and that she will per-
mit the Allies or the troops of the Sultan to under-
take any military operation which might appear to
them suitable, against the Russian forces or terri-
tory ; she points to the fact that Russia had already

askea for that concession in the last note of M. de

Nesselrode, that a negative answer had been given
to her, and that there is no reason why Austria,
should modify her preceding resolutions and atti-
tude. Prussia, in fact, displaces strangely on this
point the question which agitates the whole world. •
Does the question at present, or can the question at
present, relate to obtaining for Russia guarantees,
more or less advantageous? The question is to de-
feud Europe efficiently, not only against the pre-
sent aggressions of Russia, but against the recur-
rence of an ambition at present powerless, but
which may again revive to-morrow ; the question
is to wrest from the Czar by force, for he will not
consent otherwise, concessions which may reassure
modern society, which it has so deeply alarmed:
the question is to maintain in Turkey, the Black
Sea, and the Baltic the equilibrium and liberty of
all the States. That is what the various govern-
ments and what practical statesmen ought hence
forward to bear in mind. There is the real point of
this great question. Austria has comprehended
that, and with the frankness suitable to a great
nation has adopted the decided attitude on which
we had always reckoned. Her firm and ✓straight-
forward language will, without doubt, make a salu-
tary impression on the Court of Berlin ; and the
whole of Germany, which must perceive in the last
circulars of Austria the language best suited to her
interests, her dignity, and her future prospects,
will not hesitate to follow with a resolute step the
dignified and honest policy to which the Court of
Vienna invites her."
The other leading articles of the Paris journals
contain nothing of interest for the general reader.
The Constitutionnel has a long essay on political
economy, which would be more in its place in a
magazine, and the Debats devotes a considerable
space to the dispute between the King of Denmark
and the Diet, but it is rather a history of the dis-
pute than a commentary.
1 have just heard that a serious accident occurred
this morning on the Orleans Railway, near Choisy.
An express train from Orleans ran into the goods'
train, which was standing at that station. There
are several persons killed, but the exact number
I have not yet heard. About 30 have been more
or less seriously wounded.
