AUSTRIA.

The Ost•Dentschc Post of Vienna publishes the
following article on the interview at Warsaw r—
" Abstraction made of high policy, the interview
of Warsaw will have for Austria the advantage of
causing a neighbour whose empire joins her, for
mere than 100 German miles to enter into better
relations with her, We will not return to the
events of 1855 6 ; but it is our confident conviction
that the spite which Russia since that epoch has
manifested for Austria is not justified. Even at
that period Austria rendered important services
to Russia as a good neighbour, and we will even
say that the sentiments of friendship which the
Court of Vienna maintained even in those pain-
ful circumstances for the Court of St. Peters-
burg were in some sort the cause of the difficult
situation in which Austria now finds herself. If
Austria had frankly rallied to the Anglo-French
alliance, the ill-feeling which after the peace of
1856 existed between the Cabinets of London and
Paris and ours would not have prevailed and
Piedmont would not have obtained at the expense
of Austria the protection of France and England;
Russia would only have secured peace under much
more unfavourable conditions, and Austria would
have obtained advantage thereby. But by the mid-
position which Austria, on account of her former
friendly relations with Russia, assumed, the war,
instead of taking place in Bessarabia, was removed
to the Crimea, and exhausted all its forces against
a single fortress. The loss which Russia sustained,
however painful it may appear to a Russian patriot,
is not in proportion to that which a direct partici-
pation of Austria in the war would have occasioned;
whilst by imposing on herself new charges on ac-
count of the Eastern war, and by the /consequences
of her forbearance towards Russia, which indis-
posed the Western Powers against her, she has sus-
tained great injury both in her financial and politi-
cal situation. This is what ought to be calmly
appreciated at St. Petersburg."

On this the Nord remarks :
" Thus Austria rendered service to Russia in the

Eastern war by the simple fact that she did not de-
clare more energetically for the Anglo-French alli-
ance. What! you boast of having tied the hands of
your friend,' in order that he might not defend
himself against those who attacked him, and yet
Sou expect to be praised for not having joined your
blows to those of the others. . . The Ost-Deutsche
Post pretends that the condescension of Austria to
Russia in the Eastern war was the cause of the finan-
cial distress and political reverses which the empire
of the Hapsburgs suffers. Therefore, if Austria had
taken a direct part in the Eastern war, Lombardy
would still belong to her, Italy would be still bent
under the yoke, France and England would sanction
her abhorred domination over a great nation, and
civilised Europe would applaud ! Such logic as this
passes our understanding."
The following is an extract from a Vienna letter
of the 6th :

" Much is said in this capital of a negotiation said
to be going on between the English and Austrian
Cabinets, having for object the cession to the former
of two or three of the numerous small islands which
Austria owns in the Adriatic. It is well known
that England has for some time past testified a
desire to possess in that sea a station or port of
refuge for her squadron, but hitherto the Imperial
Government would never listen to the overtures
made to it on the subject. England has now re-
turned to the charge with greater earnestness, think-
ing that circumstances are more in her favour. No
one, however, knows whether or no these fresh
attempts will be crowned with success. Everything
will necessarily depend on the issue of the struggle
which Austria will, at a more or less distant period,
have to support against Piedmont, or rather the
whole of Italy, in defence of her Venetian possessions.
If the fate of arms be favourable to Austria, it is
not thought that the Imperial Government will
accede to the wishes of England, the Adriatic
having always been considered by the European
Powers as an internal sea, exclusively Austrian.
It is stated that General Count de Pouilly Mens-
dorff, charged to go to Coburg to compliment
Queen Victoria in the name of the Emperor Francis
Joseph, has been instructed to follow up the nego-
tiations relative to this cession with Lord Jobs
Russell. There are some who go so far as to con-
nect with those negotiations the despatch recently
addressed by Lord John Russell to Sir James Hud-
son at Turin, and in which the English Cabinet
made warm remonstrances against any enterprise
on the part of Piedmont sgainst the Austrian pos-
sessions in Venetia."
