Viessna, June G-The re-establshment of diplo-
matte relations between Austria and Switzerland is
altogether due to te Intervention of the French Am
bsssador. N. Steiger the Swiss Envoy has re.
placed the Helvetan arms, which had been taken
down. in front Of his hotel At Vienna it is thought
that the Turkish, Sandman and Swiss questions will
be peaceably settled Baron Bruck, the Austrian
Ambassador, has Isit Trieste for Constantinople
There is still the same want OF information the
same uncertainty with regard to the real intentions
of the Gear. Moreover, hear that neither France
nor England, through their ministers at Constantine
pie, show any disposition to interfere with the in
teress Of poor, unhappy Turkey; and it would seem
that the parrenu Emperor of France manifests some
inclination towards an alliance with his worthy
brother Of the NORTH Meanwhile, the Sultan though

Meanwhile, however, il is rumored that Admiral
Dundas has received orders to join the French fleet;
while, on the other hand, We hear that the army on
the Pruth has been reinforced by two regiments Of
cavalry and four Of Infantry thus making an aepre
gate effective force Of l6O, 900 men, and that the
Russian troops have crossed that river on pontoon
bridges, and entered the MOldavian principaties in
violation of the treaties Of Astrakhan and Adriano-
pie. If this be true, it looks like action; but we
shall not believe in the real probability of war until
it has actually begun, because think that Russia
in spite of its territorial acqustiveness and long
preparations to demolsh Turkey, will hesitate at in

friendly feelings OF two powerful States like England

Matters look very warlke-funds going down; but

The preservation of Turkey as barrier to the ad-
vance and preponderance OF Russia. and the conse-

cessity that even Louis Napoleon has deemed it adj
visabe to give up c0quetting with the northern ty-
rant. The English and French fleets have both been
ordered to the BosphOrus /; frrnan has been
granted to them to enter the Dardaneles, and should
Russia which everything seems to indicate cross the
Pruth which marks the Turkish frontier, it will he

Moreover, Austria owes an immense debt to Russia

Emperor of Russia will hesitate before commencing
hostilities, but his dignity is compromised and the
worst is to be feared.
The late schism in the cabinet is regarded here as
strong proof that 1t cannot long continue to work
with efficiency. Months ago we saw the impossibty
Of matchmaking such contending principles; and
after the insult that has been put upon Lord John
Russell the leader OF the House Of Commons, by
compelling him to apologize to such men as Messrs.
SadIier Keogh, and Monsell for the honest express
sion of opinions fully authorized by the exposures of
the Sligo and other elections, do not how his
lordship can any longer be regarded as the real
leader Of the lower house. and the great organ Of the
government in that assembly.
Months ago we objected to the admixture of so
many persons of Popsh, Puseyitc notions in the
administration OF a decidedly Protestant country,
and now we have the proof of its mpelcy in the re-
pudiation Of views respecting Popery and Popish
rule, which are held by four fhs, at least, Of the
people Of England nor can these matters be looked
on by our Protestant queen with any other feeling
than intense concern. The ministry may, for brief
period, be held together by such concessions to
please the Irish brigade; but the abandonment of
great principle is sure TO recoil with destructive
force on their heads, and para yze their moral in
luence in this country.

forty years standing and now we believe the father

ne, praising to the very echo all the dongs Of John
Company, attributing every evil of war or mis-
management to the Board Of Control, or, in other
words, to the double-government system, and speak

population as being 80 good and prosperous O as
scarcely TO need amelioration.
Now be it known that Joseph Hume feathered
his nest pretty warmly in India himself, and is
a large proprietor of India stocks. He speaks feel
ngly therefore, the subject and in defence of his
own interests. When, however, we consider that
other men, equally well acquainted with our Anglo
Indian empire, as Mr. Sullivan and others who have
been there much more recently, do see and deeply
lament the great abuses that prevail in all parts Of
