AUSTRIA IN THE PRINCIPALITIES.

We take the following from the Berlin National
Zeitung, which journal has always distinguished
itself, with ►opener and. Voss, for its just and im-
partial appreciation of the Oriental complications
and their consequences :
"The question at issue relative to the advance of the
Turkish army is solved at last. It is reported from all
quarters that the necessary arrangements between Omer
Pacha and Count Coronini have been concluded, in eon-
sequence of which Austria will leave open all the march
routes designated by the former. The movement upon
Eessarabia has already commenced.
" The settlement of this question appears to have
give❑ rise tl long and complicated negotiations. The
plan of the Crimean expedition could not be carried out
before the po,,ition on the Danube was secured. It is
known that Austria, who had engaged to bring about
the evacuation of the principalities, so directed her mili-
tary and diplomatic demonstrations that the Russian
army was not required to hurry in its retreat. The re-
sult was that the expedition against Sebastopol could not
depart until an extremely advanced period of the season,
and was thence subjected to all the disadvantages and
hazards resulting therefrom.

" The success-of the operation depended manifestly,
and in a great measure, upon the Turkish army (which was
at that time better fitted for war, and inspired with confi-
dence by recent successes) making a diversion on
Bessarabia, and thereby preventing the sending to the
Crimea of any considerable reinforcements. The Allied
commanders trusted to this as a certainty, and Omer
Pacha entered into decided engagements in this sense.
The Paris Moniteur announced several weeks past that
he would commence operations forthwith, and that
orders had already been issued from Vienna to the Aus-
trian commander not to throw impediments in his way.
Nevertheless, the Turkish troops remained spell•bound
in their cantonments. Whilst the whole of Dannenberg's
infantry corps, with other reinforcements, had been sent
from the Pruth, and had reached Sebastopol, the Turkish
troops did not attempt even the most insignifiesnt move-
ment.

" While Austria expressly accorded her moral sup-
port to the Crimean expedition by divers acknowledg-
ments, and openly expressed her sympathy for the sue•
cess of the Allied arms, her internuncio at Constanti-
nople and her generals in the principalities• spared BO
efforts, and that notoriously, to counteract the excite-
ment produced in the councils and the camp of the
Turks by these successes, and to envelope the Turkish
forces with the trammels of a most deplorable inactivity.
" After Russia had succeeded in concentrating in the
Crimea a force far superior to that of the Allies, and
. after the roads in the Principalities had, in consequence
of autumnal rains, &c., become so bad that they entailed
double difficulties and loss of time to the movement of
the Turkish forces, Austria at length threw open the bar-
riers which it interposed between the troops of the
lawful Sovereign and provinces to which Austria was A
stranger.
" England and France conduot themselves towards
Austria with such exceptional consideration that a dark
veil still hangs over the no doubt thorny negotiations
that have led to this solution. Scarcely has an English
opposition journal—and recently the Times—attempted
to lift this veil ; still less has any indiscretion been per-
mitted at Vienna relative to notes exchanged ou this
subject, which, without the slightest doubt, entered
more keenly and expressively into the practical develop-
ment of the matter than the lon winded despatches con-
cerning the Germanic confederative policy with which
the German press has long been inundated, and which,
it is evident, are generally elaborated more for the
reading public than for diplomatic practical

ARRIVAL or SrEcrE.—The amount of specie brought
by the Arabia from New York is 256,0001. ; but, not-
withstanding this large shipment, the money-market was
showing some revival from the panic prevalent at the
no departure of the preceding steamer. With the exception

further failures of importance in the west, and Messrs.
Snead, Collard, and Co., •of the Citizens Bank, Cinciu-
nati, had published a statement that their assets amount
to 350,000/. to meet their liabilities of 240,0001., and
that they expected shortly to resume. Al New Y. ork
Gilbert and Tuttle, a small importing house, had sus-
pended ; but, although the daily repetition of disasters
of some kind kept all the markets in an unsettled con-
dition, most descriptions of securities bad experienced
a slight improvement. The prospect of consignments
of flour to this country had rather increased, as an aug-
mented supply was known to be on its way from the
interior ; the quality generally, however, was not such
as to find favour with purchasers, and a partial rise in
freights had likewise tended to check transactions.
MARIQUITi COMPANY.—An adjourned meeting of
those shareholders of the Mariquita Company who sup-
port the views of the committee of investigation took
place yesterday afternoon. After a protracted discus-
sion, in the course of which the conduct of the directors
was strongly condemned, especially in relation to the
splitting of votes, a further adjournment was agreed to,
a doubt having been expressed as to the legality of the
proceedings. Before the shareholders separated, a re-
quisition, numerously signed, was prepared, ealling
upon the directors to convene a special general meeting,
at which it is again proposed to discuss the question of
the purchase of the Santa Anna property, and to give it,
if possible, precedence to that connected win the Puri•
ass contract.
