AUSTRIA.

-VIENNA, May. 25.—The subjoined article, which
appeared in the Ministerial Oesterreichische Corre-
spondemz of last night, must be considered a sup-
plement to that of which a translation appeared
in The Sun yesterday. That it is from the same
source—the Foreign-office—need hardly be said :
"A number of North German papers and correspon-
dents continually repeat that the Imperial Court desires
to induce Prussia to guarantee the territory of the
Austrian empire, more particularly that part of it which
is in Italy, and they do not fail to make the most of this
theme of their own Invention.

" Neither the papers in question nor their readers
need be under any alarm. Austria, which in the most
trying and dangerous times of external and internal con-
fusion found means to retain possession of the Italian
crown lands, has the consciousness of being perfectly
well able to defend both her territory and the position
which is hers by right of treaty against any attack.
The power of Austria is based on her internal strength
and on European treaties which are recognised and ra
epected by all the Powers. As to the policy of the
Austrian empire, it is based on a respect for all acquired
rights.

" True to its principial' regard for the independence
of all sovereignties, the Imperial Royal Government can
never recognise the right which is claimed by the Sardi-
nian cenrt to speak in the name of Italy. Although re-
garding things from a point of view entirely different,
we cannot but agree with the opinion expressed by
that Minister that in the perception of international re-
lations, rights, and duties, there is an impassable gulf
between Austria and the present Sardinian Cabinet.
• " Wherever Austria has intervened in Italy she has
done so in the most disinterested manner ; she has
intervened at the request of the different Sovereigns,
and, as soon as the one or other of them has declared
his ability to maintain public peace and order with-
out foreign assistance, the Imperial forces have been
withdrawn front his territories. Prudent and judi-
cious reforms, freely emanating from the re-
spective Sovereigns, may conduce to the wished-for peace
and quiet of the Italian States, and the Imperial Go-
vernment has never failed to give its counsel in that
direction, though always with that consideration which
is due to the dignity and independence of foreign States.
" Austria is ready to give her approval to
all advantageous changes which may emanate from
the free and enlightened will of the Italian Go-
vernments, and she wishes nothing more e 4r-
neatly than that the time may soon come when the
Italian Sovereigns, to whom she has afforded her disin-
terested support against the revolution and its agents,
may be able to dispense with the assistance of the
Austrian troops, but she will firmly repel any unjusti-
fiable attack which may belnade on those Italian States
that are allied 'to her, and will do-all in her power to
counteract the machinations of the anarchists, and to
prevent revolutionary agitation."

A letter from Varna, of the 24th, states that the
Pan there French gun- boat, which has been stationed
there for the last seven months, had left for France,
orders having been brought to her to that effect by
the Phlegethon. Commandant de Russell, of the
latter vessel, has been sent by Admiral Trehouart to
settle the naval accounts at Varna for coal and oxen
supplied to the French navy. The reply from Con-
stantinople to the communica.tiou of the sentence
against the assassins of the Bulgarian girl had not
reached Varna. The Pasha had been set at liberty.

The Washington correspondence of the New York
Daily Tribune states that Padre Vizil bail been
received by the President as Minister from Nica-
ragua with distinction and cordiality.
In the Senate on the 14th—

" Mr. Clayton said he had seen in the morning news•
papers what purported to be an extract from a letter
from the British Minister at Washington, dated March
31, 1856, in which Mr. Crampto❑ says—
"`lt will be witnin your lordship's recollection that
Mr. Clayton was informed by Sir Henry Bulwer, before
the treaty of 1850 was signed, that Runtan was dejure
and de facto a British possession, and Mr. Clayton has
on various occasions since, in conversation with me,
stated that he considered Rustan a British possession as
much as Jamaica, or any other British West India

"Mr. Clayton branded this statement as utterly untrue
in every particular. The British Minister must have
laboured under an hallucination as strange as ever en-
tered the brain of any man to make such a declaration.
Nothing like it bad ever escaped him in conversation
with Mr. Crampton or anybody else. Fortunately the
fact d.,d not rest upon the statement of Mr. Crampton
and himself. He had a living witness, and first he would
call attention to a letter written by Mr. Crampton and
read in the Senate on the 12th January, 1854. In which
he(Mr. Crampton) attempted to prove that Ruatan was
not a dependency of Belize, and was not exempted from
that provision of the treaty of 1850. He then had Mr.
Crampton's testimony on the subject, and read it to the
Senate. He would no N. read it again to contradict Mr.
Crampton's statement which was made known to him
for the first time that morning, and of which be had not
the most remote conception. In this letter Mr. Crampton
said— The dependencies of British Honduras are, in my
opinion, distinctly enumerated in the treaty of 1786.' He
bad made this statement deliberately, and the irresistible
conclusion was that Ruatan was not irolnded in these
dependencies. Mr. Clayton said while he was detained
at his lodgings by sickness inFetruary or March last he
was called upon by Mr. Crittenden, and while they were
engaged in conversation on this subject Mr. Cratnpton
canoe in to invite him (Mr. Clayton) to dine with him.
He (Mr. Clayton) was too sick to accept the invitation,
but took occasion to ask Mr. Crampton if be knew an 3.
thing of the charge that he (Mr. Clayton) la I ever at:.
mitted that Ruatan was exempted from the operation of
the treaty, and Mr. Crampton in most unqualified terms
acknowledged that there was nu troth in the report that
be (Mr. Claytori) had ever made auy such intimation to
critic:don corroborated 4r. Clapon's etzte..
