AUSTRIA IN THE PRINCIPALITIES.

We take the following from the Berlin National
Zeitung, which journal has always distinguished
itself, with Spemer 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 con-
sequence of which Austria will leave open all the march
routes designated by the former. The movement upon
Bessarabia has already commenced.
"The settlement of this question appears to have
given rise to long and complicated negotiations. The
plan of the Crimean expedition could not be carried out
before the position on the Danube was secured. It is
known that Austria, who had engaged to bring about
the evacuation of tpe 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 annetricecr 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 insignifieant move-
ment.
" While Austria expressly accorded her moral sup-
port to the Crimean expedition l.y divers acknowledg-
ments, and openly expressed her sympathy for the sins
cess of the Allied arms, her internunoio at Constanti-
nople and her generals in the principalities spared no
efforts, and that notoriously, to coulters& 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, Ice., 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-
naitted 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 long-winded despatches con-
cerning

the German press has long been inundated, and which,
