AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Sept. 9.—Some time since you were
l)l...,forrned that the Austro-Russian party was parti-
cularly active, and there is some little reason to be-
-I,l,eve that its efforts have not been entirely in vain.
:sihe Breslau Zeitung has a Berlin correspondent
r:
he is particularly well informed on all matters
cennected with that part of the policy of the Prus-
sian Government which consists in counteracting
the endeavours of Austria, to induce the German
States to make common cause with her in opposing
the ambitions projects of Russia. The writer in
question now states that Couut Buol is likely to
e hi portfolio, and it . cannot be doubted
that_ the removal of such a patriotic Minister
Would give extreme satisfaction to the Russian
Government and the " Junker " party in Pros-
pub' 1. For reasons not positively known to the
let, le, but probably correctly stated in my
riotier of yesterday, it was resolved in Council
t to consider the refusal of Russia to give the
guarantees demanded a casus belli, but this is no
Leo!' that his Majesty has lost confidence in his
Zinister, or that his determination to insist on the
Our conditions has been shaken. The Philo-
theelans are unable to keep their own counsel, and
want of discretion enables me to give you
et „r version as well as of what has. taken place as
lai which is now proposed. During the Em-
peror'sl' sojourn in Ischl everything was done to
persuade him " to proceed with less energy" in the
13eurracoo-Russian question, and even the names of the
for llages who more particularly disapproved the
tione'gn policy of the Cabinet might be men-
are e,d• It is notorious that the Bohemian nobles
ab the head of the Austro-Russian party, and
~r are therefore not surprised to learn that Count
Frederic, Thug, the Austrian Minister at Berlin
sterhazy only acts there ad interim), has
unt
n fix-ed on as Count Buol's successor. After
e D.l
reading this, you may be inclined to suppose that
Ministerial crisis is probable, but such is not the
case; my letter of the Ist it was said that the
policy of Austria had made itself, and that was not
an emlrtY phrase. As long as the Russians were
in Wallachia, the great majority of the Austrian
aeannfacturers were living on their capital, but as
03°4 as the invaders turned their backs on &I-
N, ares% commerce revived, and the export trade
tas as brisk as ever. The ruinous consequences
° Austria of a hostile Russian occupation of the
principalities are now so evident that no Minister
'LZr Foreign Affairs, even if it were Count
iTcquelmont himself, could ever again permit
• The first and last of the four conditions
concern Austria even more nearly than they do
th
1, Western Powers, and it has been resolved
:ere, cost what it will, that Russia shall never
:Fain exercise an exclusive protectorate either in
Danubian Principalities or over the Greek
ohristians in Turkey. The correctness of this
View of things does not admit of dispute, and there-
fore there can be no question of a change of mea-
sures in Austria, even though there should he a
change of men. Well-informed diplomatists are of
°Pinion that there will be neither the one nor the
Other, although they are well aware that every-
'
,ling is being done to prejudice the Emperor
against Count Buol. One of the best-informed men
in this city affirms that there will be no campaign
of 1855, "as the Oriental question will be settled
luring the winter." Such an opinion from such a
source,. to
state could not be withheld, but it is necessary o
'bate that it is in direct opposition to my own.
There4.,_ will be a campaign in 1855, in which Aus-
tria will share, for it is repugnant to common sense
suppose that t she can long maintain au armed
neutrality which costs her 800,00011. a-day. The
limber of horses at present employed in the army
is 82,000. It must be well understood that it is
not my intention to say Austria will wage war
against Russia to please England, France, and
Turkey ; she will do so simply because her interests
imperatively require it.
