AUSTRIA-RUSSIA.

The Memorial Diplonzatique publishes an analysis
of Count Buol's reply to Russia's proposal of a
Congress. It is as folio' s:—
"In this note Count Buol declares that his
Majesty the Emperor of Austria fully appreciates
the value of the proposal of the Court of St. Peters-
burg, and that the Vienna Cabinet is quite willing
heartily to join a work intended to confirm treaties
and the privileges conferred by them. Count Buol
declares that the whole difficulty is to be found in
the policy of Piedmont. The object of the Congress
would doubtless be put an end to the danger with
which she threatens Europe, and to prevent a
recurrence of them.

" Count Buol regards such task the principal one
to have social order. Should other questions be
mooted, they ought to be precisely stated before-
hand, and treated conformably to the rules esta-
blished in the protocol of Aix-la-Chapelle of 16th
November, 1818, insomuch, as they should concern
internal reforms in other States of Italy. Bount
Buol adds that the clash of, arms and warlike pre-
parations are detrimental to•negotiations, exposing
the Powers interested to great pecuniary sacrifices,
and prolonging the general anxiety. Count Buol
draws the conclusion that it is indispensable Sar-
dinia should disarm, and declares that her consent
in that respect should regulate the conduct of the
other Powers. Finally, he declares that if Pied-
mont is willing to arm Austria will do likewise.
Until the preliminaries indicated in Count Buol'a
note have been settled Austria .may ralax her pre:
parations, but not suspend them altogether. Her
troops will continue to march towards Italy."
