Austria and Prussia.


Another rumor is, that Austria has proposed,
on certain conditions, to send troops to the
Danube. And at q dinner given at Constan-
tinople, May 30th, to the Duke Of Cambridge,
the Austrian ambassador, in his speech, spoke
warmly in favor of the policy of England and
France.
Orders have been issued by the central Mill
| tary chancellery that the troops which have to
occupy the frontiers OF Galicia must be in their
positions by the 18th OF this month Provi.
| sion is made in Galicia for 100000 men and
| 10000 horses. In the Austrian army there are
| 63 iusileer regiments, consisting of one depot
and four field battalons. Each Of the field
| battalions has l,278 men; consequently, each
regiment consists without depot-battalion) Of
| 5,ll2 men. live multipl 5, IL by 63 we have
total of 322,056 men. The term of military
service is eight years, and, after the men are
discharged, they enter the so-called reserve "
| for two years. The whole the reserve which
is equal to onefourth of the regular standing
army, has now been called out. Within the
last few days an order has been given to form
granadier battalion, 500 strong, out of the
best men in each regiment, and to fill up the
vacancies in the other battalions with men
| taken from the reserve. The So newly-formed
granadier battalions will consist of 81, 400 men.
The partisans of Russia still assert that no
demonstration has been made against Russia,
but this is totally false, as you are about to
learn. The 9th infantry division is posted on
Sereth, with its front towards the Bukovina,
and the staff in Kamentz this detachment is
supported by. the reserves of the Sd infantry
corps, which are posted between Pruth and the
Dniester. In Poland--in the governments of
| Tolhynia and Podolia-are FIVE infantry and
two light cavalry divisions belonging partly to
the lst and I'd infantry, and partly to the gren-
adler corps. The Russian troops now posted
en- echeion on the northeastern frontiers Of A us
tria may therefore be fairly estimated ut l00,.
| 900 men or 10000 men.
| The London Times, Of the l4th instant, says
The latest intelligence from Vienna represents
that the Russian staff, acting no doubt under
orders from st. Petersburg, is already altering
the disposition Of the Russian armies in the
manner which was long pointed out by us as
| the inevitable result OF the warlike attitude of
Austria. The divisions advancing southwark
to the Danube by yolhynia, Podolia, and Mol.
davia are stopped in their march so as to con-
| front the Austrian armies OF Gallacia, the Blu.
kowina, and Transylvania, which command
their right flank and their line of march, while
q still larger force, belong to the lst and I'd
divisions of the Russian army, and reinforced
| by FIVE regiments of grenadiers, threatens the
| Austrian frontier to the northeast from the
kingdom OF Poland. These preparations for
active hostilities against Austria are accom-
panied, as is we'll known at Vienna, by secret
attempts OF Russian agents in the south Scla-
vonian provinces, and even in Italy, to excite
/ disahecton and rebellion agninst the Austrian
government. On both sides, therefore, the
courts of Vienna and ST. Petersburg have
taken measures against one another which are
