My statements week or two since. in reference
to Prince Schwarzenberg health will have prepared
you in part for the news Of his sudden death. The
rumors that were prevalent on the subject for some
time, scdulously contradicted by the miaiste-
rial papers, but no one who knew Prince Schwarz-
enberg, and his Of life, attached any weight
to this One Prussian paper was even prohibited
here, because among other things, it circulated The
rumors Of the Princes dangerous state. Yet
conccalment Of the progress of disease, or the
denial Of the danger, will not stay the hand of
death, and the sudden departure Of the Austrian
Premier, though surprise to the public in general,
was not so to those acquainted with his situation
He was just on the point, it is said, of making an
excursion to Southern Italy, to which he had been
urged by his physicians. when thus prevented from

the court must have had to expect this event.
the difficulty offxng upon his successor, shows that
il found them unprepared. 1t is in fact difficult to
name man, in the whole circle ofAustran statesmen
and diplomaists, fitted in every respect to replace
Prince SchwaHenberg. Baron Kubec, President
OF the Imperial Council, who is the most prominent
statesman of Austria at present, and who is spoken
Of as the Princes successor. is mere bureaucrat,
and unacquanted with foreign affairs. II is want
ing likewise in that high aristocraric rank, which,
in Austria il still considered necessary to the chief
conduct of affairs Count Fignelmont is also much
spoken of, the right hand man of Prince Meter
nich but he is of a school that is past. Count
Colorado formerly ambassador to st. Petersburg,
is another person mentioned, but the objection to
him il, that he is not in good odour with the Em-
peror of Russia, his wife being Polish lady. One
OF the Vienna papers, this morning, says that
Count Buol Schauenstein, present Austrian ambas-
sador at London, has been sent for to come to
Vienna. This diplomatist formerly at Frank
fort, and is not thought to have shown very great
powers, for which reason he was removed. Count
Rechberg, employed in the foreign department by
Prince Schwarzenberg, is another named, but has
probably little chance. Meanwhile, Baron Werner,
Under Secretary of State, under Schwarzenberg,
conducts foreign affairs, Professionally. Baron
Kubeck is much closote with the emperor, and it
Is said that new arrangement is in contemplation
to separate, namely. the Presidency OF the Coun-
ell from the department Of Foreign Affairs, APP
pointing Baron kubeck to the Former and choosing
some dipomatist for the latter. This seems to be
the most probable solution of the difficulty. 1t is
also thought that the Department Of the interior

policy of the government, is of course uncertain
All the ministerial papers have stated that there
will be change, that the great idea Of unity and
Capitalization will be carried out in the manner
began BY the deceased statesman.
That there will be some change in the foreign
policy Of Austria, in reference to France at least. is
evident, think, from very. remarkable article
that appeared in the ministerial Pi6SSc the 10th
inst. 1t is well known that Prince Schwarzenberg
entirely approved Louis Napoleon's usurpation, and
even perhaps. melted him to it and il is equally
known that the subsequent relations between the
Austrian and French governments were of the most
friendly character. The idea was even entertained
by them Of intervening together in Switzerland.
This was given up on account OF opposition from
unexpected quarters The friendship of the two
governments then cooled a little, no doubt and this
Is one Of the things that said to have prcyed
upon the health OF Schwarzenberg, but during his
life there was no manifestation of anything like an
iGimical feeling. Now the PreSSe comes out fol-

Of the people, which the President Of the French
republic pleased TO set up, on the occasion of
swearing in the magistrates will certainly lead the
