AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, May 25.—The subjoined article, which
appeared in the Ministerial Uesterreichische Owe-
spondenz 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 re-
spected 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 Court 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withdrawn from his terr:tories. 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 Co-
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 arlvantageoes changes which may emanate from
the free and enlightened will of the Italian Go-
vernments, and she wishes nothing more e ir-
nestly than that the time may soon come when tht,
Italian Sovereigns, to whom she has afforded her disM-
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 be made 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
Panther° 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 communication of the sentence
against the assassins of the Bulgarian girl had not
reached Varna. The Pasha had been set at liberty.
