AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna, in the Cologne Gazette,
dated the 21st inst., says
" As regards the Neapolitan question, the rnerntnt
appears not far distant for matters coming to a crisis
between the Austrian and Neapolitan Governments.
The last news from Naples is serious, and does not ad-
mit of the slightest doubt that King Ferdinand declines
paying any attention to the remonstrances of the three
great Powers. It is not improbable that some energetic
demonstration will be made, and that he will be ulti-
mately compelled to acquiesce in the just demands of
the other Powers."

The Kreuz Zeitweg says, that in the early part
of last week Lord Palmerston was in the receipt of
a note from the Russian Cabinet, in which
" The complaints of the Euglish Government as to
the manner in which Russia has carried out the stipula-
tions of the treaty of peace, meet with a complete answer.
The note is de'cribed as taking one by one each fact of
which the English Government makes a reproach, and
in each case depriving it of all ground for complaint
equally firmly and happily. The note tken expresses
itself in general terms with reference to the mistrust
shown by the English Government. It is said in it,
Russia concluded peace in the full hope and expecta-
tion that confidence would fully and completely return ;
this expectation, however, could not be others; ise than
completely disappointed by the distrustful policy that
England had assumed. One passage is more particu
larly worth notice in the Russian note. The English
Government ha I, it appears, on some ocea,ion declared
that if it could have known beforehand how Russia would
have put the terms of peace into execution it would have
kept its troops six months langer in the Crimea. To
this the Russian Cabinet answers, that would of itself
have put an end to the peace."

RUSSIA.
The following letter in the Hamburger Doreen
Halle, from a correspondent in St. Petersburg,
dated 18th inst., is well worth notice.
"It is affirmed that this Cabinet has laid down for
itself as the rule of its policy a wise moderation and
reserve wills reference to the internal politics of the
States of Europe. The recent events in Spain,
their results more puticularly, have excited its
attention to a very high pitch, and meet with univer-
sal approbation at Court. A sitni'ar acknowledgment
has also not been withheld from the attitude and b!aring
of the Neapolitan G tvernrnew and of the internal
policy of Denmark. It is, ho-vever, incorrect to suppeee
that this Cabinet has in any way communicated to the
respective courts its approbation, dliapprobation, or ad-
vice. Tide resolution of the government, which meets also
with the ,sympa'.hy of th e majority, is evidenced in the en-
d avours it is making to maintain a good understanding
with France, and to consult the commercial interests of
England by moderating the tariff. France's motives for
not prosecuting the war further men here kno w how to ap-
preciate, and M. de Monty, L.)rd Granville, and Count
E ;tort" lay will have opportunities of remarking it. It has
produced great satisfaction here to find that France has not
made the tardy surrender of Kars a 3.1 the lighting up
afresh of the light-house on the Isle of Serpents
ground for a vote of want of confidence in this cabi-
net. All the attemots are in vain to justify the want
of delicacy that E tgland has shown in reminding
Russia, at the very moment when an Ambassador from
her to the coronation was about to show himself here,
that Russian newspapers committed a mistake in
IEZS when they affirmed that the Black Sea
was a Russian Sea. D'ailleurs, the events in the
East will in no way deteriorate our relations with
F:•anee, and the present Government will avoid, as
mach as that of Alexander I. did, exciting
the illwill of Eagland by any measures adverse to the cora•
mercial interests of Great Britain. Measures have been
alreidy taken which evidence the serious intention of the
G v3rtiment to remove all unnecessary obstacles from
.31n-nerce as far as it is possible for it to go. In this
respect I need only point to the reduction of the duties
on sugar, which lately alarmed our manufacturers of
beet-root sugar so excessively that the press received in-
s•ructions to put a stop to all its discussions about pro-
hibitive and pratective systems."
