The DECLARATION OF NEUTRALITY BY AUSTRIA.
The Paris correspondent of the London Times
writing on November 7th, says:-I have already
mentioned that the Austrian government issued
On the 27th ult circular to the ministers at
iforegn courts, giving assurances of its neutral-
ty. The following appears to be the most inn
portant passage on that document:-
His imperial Majesty, faithful to his pacific sys-
tenn, has not hesitated moment to the line off
conduct which his duty pointed out in the new
phase into which the Eastern question has enter
ed. AS long as the interest of his own empire
shall not be directly menaced by war, his Majesty
willremain neutral, the more SO as the positive
and reiterated declarations of the Court of Russia
give him the certainty that that Power does not
mean to infringe on the integrity of the Ottoman
empire, nor on the sovereign rights of the Sui
tan. -"
4as--g4sl ATTITUDE OF NAPOLEON.
s It was said that Louis Napoleon had recently
freely expressed his thoughts on the Eastern
Question. Baffied in his repeated attempts, in
with England, to put an end to the
dispute, he has made up his mind to more deter
mined policy. One of the first steps will be the
immediate recall of all the diplomatic agents
who have been concerned in the s.notes,' and
their substitution by military men. The despatch
OF General paraguay d'Hilliers to Constantine
pie is the first step in this direction. Should the
present negotiations now understood to be pend
ing, fail in their object, very decided steps,
or the part of the French Emperor may be full
b expected. u 's< - g f"-

latter having exhausted all pacific combinations,
Il is manifest that the Eastern question has now
entered into warlike phase. The honor of the
two parties engaged, is too deeply implicated for
tfem to be able to lay down their arms without
Combat, and perhaps at the time we write some
decisive engagement may have taken place be-
tween the hostile armies. Events henceforth
overTule all the calculations of diplomacy and
our conviction is that nothing can now prevent
collision, which is as imminent as it is inevitable
Diplomacy certainly will not desert the sacred
cause of concord, and humanity, to which it has
so generously devoted itself for the last eight
months; the hour will doubtless come when its
counsels will he heard and when its influence will
resume legitimate authority. 1t is, however
difficult to hope that it can prevent or at once
suspend conflict between two armies so near to
each other, animated by increasing irritation, and
