AUSTRIA AND SARDINIA.

VIENNA, FEB. 11.
The official Austrian Correspondanca refutes the
accusations of Count Cavour, and says--

" Austria is sufficiently armed to ward off attacks
against the Imperial Sovereignty, but respects,
nevertheless, the right of other States to settle their
affairs as they may please."

BELGRADE, FEB. 11.
The Skuptschina has placed M. Wutschitsch in
confinement.

FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY.

A letter from Paris says :

From the manner in which M. de Morny's speech
yesterday in the Legislative Corps was received by
all the Deputies, without exception—the unanimous
and enthusiastic applause and cries for peace which
hailed the passages I hive already quoted—and
the feeling of the country so unmistakeably
manifested, there can, I believe, be no longer a
doubt in the mind of any one of the dislike which
the very thought of war inspires. It is natural
that the reckless coterie who would for a phantom
plunge the nation into a conflict with Europe
should be furious against all who have directly or
indirectly obstructed them. The paper which
serves as the organ of this clique, whose schemes
have already done so much injury to the country,
continues its mission. It is, of course, furious
against M. de Morny and the whole Legislative
Body together—against the former, that he should
have presumed to go beyond the Emperor himself
in his declarations of peace ; against the latter be-
cause they applauded him. They complain of the
hardihood of the President of the Chamber in hav-
ing drawn up his address without previous consul-
tation with the Emperor, just as if his Majesty
would not have approVed every word of a speech
in support of a policy on which M. de Morny and
the warmest friends of the Sovereign believe that
'the Imperial regime depends. Whether his Ma-
jesty was consulted I cannot say, but the vehement
applause—so vehement as even to astonish M.
de Morny, who is not, I believe, accustomed
to such demonstrations which greeted the
words of peace, showed how different his recep-
tion would have been if they had been otherwise,
and prove beyond all doubt that what the country
wants and demands is peace, and not war.
As to whether peace or war shall prevail there is
still a diversity of opinion, and, though I do not
subscribe to all he says, yet I cannot but repeat the
opinion of a person who is entitled to respect, and
who possesses much experience in political life. He
is not inclined to think that the present difficulties
are such as are likely to be resolved by diplomacy.
He thinks war inevitable, but that the date depends
on circumstances (this I must admit to be a safe
margin) ; but he believes that before the year is out
hostilities will commence.

As for the negotiations which Austria would
consent to open, he thinks that she may do so to
gain time, either for military preparations, or to
secure the alliances of -which she stands in need. In
any case, the said negotiations can only have refe-
rence to the evacuation of the Roman States by the
Austrian and French troops. This evacuation, he
says, is precisely what would suit the Emperor of
the French, whose plans would be promoted by an
insurrection in Italy. Now, so long as his troops
are at Rome the Emperor would be obliged to put
down a seditious movement on one point which he
would see with secret pleasure break out in Lom-
bardy. Austria has motives of quite a contrary
kind to remain in the Roman States. To quit
them would be to fall blindly into a snare. She
will perhaps appear to lend herself to negotiations
on this point, but, as I•have already said, only to
gain time.
