The Debats has the following on Austrian policy
—" We have received news from Vienna of the 31st
ult. The Cabinet letters of the 20th ult., addressed
by the Emperor to Prince de Schwartzenberg, Pre-
sident of the Council of Ministers, and to Baron de
Kuhn, President of the Council of the Empire, had
been published not only in the capital of the empire,
but in all the towns of any importance ; and the in-
telligence which the Government had received in-
formed it that such publication had not excited dis-
confont, or disturbance in any quarter. It appears,
be: ides, that tbis pacific result had been foreseen ;
and that in advance no apprehension was felt as to
the immediate effects of the imperial ordinances.
The Government had not had recourse to any extra-
ordinary measures of surety. The garrisons had not
been displaced or reinforced, or the troops even
ordered to keep their barracks and hold themselves in
readiness to act. The Government finds in these
external circumstances a proof that its conduct is ap-
proved of, and that the popularity of the Emperor
has not been impaired. The documents of Aug. 20
have been the occasion of a diplomatic communica-
tion. Prince de Schwartzenberg, who is at the same
time Minister of the Imperial Household and of Fo-
reign Affairs, transmitted them to all the diplomatic
agents of Austria in foreign countries with a circu-
lar, dated Aug. 26, explaining their character, and
at the same time making known the intentions of
the Emperor, particularly in what relates to the
charter of March 4, 1849. This circular is conse-
quently an important document, of which the fol-
lowing is the substance The Prince de Schwart-
zenberg begins by giving a rapid sketch of the critical
situation of the empire at the commencement of 1849.
At that period revolution was everywhere. After
having suddenly broken out at Vienna, it had spread
into the kingdom of Hungary and the provinces of
Lombardy ; and that situation, so perilous per se,
was aggravated by the complication of the other
states of Germany. However, the imperial armies
had obtained great advantages and made rapid pro-
gress. It was thought, above all, urgent to find a
mode of re-edifying the unity and indivisibility of
the empire and the authority of the throne ; it was
thought that a unitary constitution could be that
mode, and for that purpose his Imperial Majesty re-
solved to give his letters-patent of March 4. But
the matter was urgent, and time was wanting to
study the fundamental principles on which that con-
stitution ought to rest, and to assemble and select
them. These principles were borrowed from the
charters and constitutions promulgated in other states
of Europe, and the act of March 4 was in fact only a
document drawn up according to foreign models.
Such a work could net have much success, and it had
none. The circular declares 'that its vices and insuffi-
ciency were soon discovered everywhere. According
as order became restored in the monarchy, it was
more evident that the execution of the charter was
impossible; that its execution could not be attempted
with impunity ; and that, if the attempt were made,
it might expose the monarchy to the greatest dan-
gers. That was the conviction of the Emperor,
who judged the moment come to remove public
uncertainty, by putting an end to the fiction
which the act of March 4 kept up, by suppressing the
collection of temporary measures connected with that
act, and by assigning to the throne, to which it ex-
clusively belongs, the decision of the question. The
Emperor, who gave spontaneously. the letters patent
of March 4, had never bound himself to them,
either by an oath or by any concession or abandon-
ment of his imperial authority. His Majesty was
not bound to maintain the letter of this constitu-
tion, which ought to be ranked amongst those
measures which the Sovereign, in the exercise of
his power, adopts, modifies, or abrogates according
to his conviction, and for which he is responsible to
God alone. His Majesty being decided
full to frankly
1
put an end to such a state of things, of troubl.e
and anxiety, had provided for doing so by his orc.l-
nances of August 20.' The circular next explains
what is the signification of the Ministerial responsi
bility, how it ought to be regarded in the Govern-
ment of his Majesty, and why the constitutional in-
stitutions of the empire shall be regulated according
to the decision of the Emperor himself. Prince de
Schwartzenberg concludes by the very formal and
very explicit declaration, that the Emperor does not
intend any reaction. His Imperial ALjesty desires
to establish in the empire only a regime strictly and
perfectly legal ; and likewise the question is not to
re-establish privileges, exemptions, or exceptional
positions, which have disappeared io these latter
years, nor to give any attaint to the material rights
tea. recognised since 1848, in what concerns property and
persons?'

WRECK OF A
OFF SPA
MARGATENISH MERCHANTMAN
MARGATE, SUNDAY NlGUT.—During the last twenty-
% four hours heavy gales have been blowing off this coast,
and it is feared that many wrecks have occurred. The
result has been that several crews of the intrepid boat-
men of the district have put out to sea, with the view of
endeavouring to render assistance to any vessel that
• might need it, and one, at least, has been successful in
)),‘
rescuing the lives of a number of their fellow•creatures,
who otherwise would probably have been consigned to a
watery grave. The lugger Nelson, commanded by John
"" Knight, with a crew of three picked boatmen, cruising in
i,4
128 the neighbourhood of the Sunken Light, observed, about
is. seven o'clock this morning, a flag of distress flying from
' a boat at some miles distance, and immediately put off
to render assistance. At a quarter to eight they reached
the boat, and found it to contain nine Spanish sailors,
and to be in an almost sinking state, the stern being
completely stove in. The unfortunate men having been
taken on board the Nelson, it was ascertained that they
comprised the crow of the Spanish brig Cervantes,
Captain Felix Lo)o y Castro, from Christiansand to
Barcelona, with a cargo of salt fish, which ran on shore
ice. on the Lorg sands at half past eleven last night. The
crew stood by their vessel until five o'clock this morning,
when, finding that their vessel was going to pieces, they
took to the only boat left to them out of three, in which
14 they remained until they were picked up by the lugger,
their boat at this time being about 24 miles from Mar-
gate, 6 from the Sunken Light, and 8 from the Kentish
• Knock. The rescued crew having been refreshed with
;,,but coffee and other necessaries, were conveyed to this
.71 place, and received under the care of mine host Walker,
44 of the Queen's Arms Hotel, where every possible atten-
tion was paid to their wants. The Spanish Consul at
Ramsgate having been informed of the position of the
unfortunate men, immediately sent his clerk to inquire
• into their condition, and they will be sent to London to-
morrow (Monday) morning, and placed under the care
• of the Consul-General. It is worthy of remark their
• brave deliverers have no claim for compensation, though,
had they brought in as many dead bodies, they would
have received ss. each. There can be no doubt, however,
that the Spanish Government will reward them; and we
oi are happy to be able to state that several visitors here
entered into a subscription to reward them. It is reported
that a screw steamer is now on shore at the Lorg Sands,
d and several boats have put off to see if they can render
assistance.

TEMPLE Cnuncn.—ln 1148 Geoffrey de Mande-
ville, Earl of Essex, was mortally wounded at an attack on
Burwell Castle. On his death-bed he was addressed by the
Templars in the habit of their order, but being at the time
under the ban of excommunication, oven this would not
ensure his remains the privilege of a Christian burial ; so his
corpse was wrapped in lead and hung upon a crooked tree in
the orchard till absolution arrivcd from Rome, when his
remains were deposited in the Temple Church, where his
(one of the recumbent figures in the circular vestibule)
effigy
is still to be seen.—Scr op Book. •
The shooting season commend
the ferticed on Monday last,
when numbers of sportsmen " range fields" in
, search of game. The weather was truly delightful, as in-
-1 deed it has continued to be throughout the week, but birds
proved unammouly scarce; in most localities, having pro-
bably taken refuge in the still standing corn. It is consi-
dered more than likely that game is very plentiful, as the
breading season P 7115 remarkably favourable.— warms a.
