'rHE DAILY DlsPATCi,
AUSTRIA AND THE ALLIES.
IL, q Is alleged by the London Times. A.

IL, - - aiiegeo by the London Times, Aus
ria has united with England and France in
certain terms Of Russia, upon the
'efusal Of which terms. Austria will join TIE
allies In the field, the question is naturally
'uggested, upon what terms did Austria agree
With the Western Powers to sacrifice her ner
tralityl The great difficulty with her in de
Gliding TO take sides with either party, has
been the fear Of rebellion and revolution In
her own borders. How has that difficulty
been removed Who has engaged to keep
down Hungarians, Italians, and other ele-
ments OF insubordination for her, whilst she
sends her armies against Russia? There can
be no doubt that she has exacted conditions
Of this kind from some power or other; for
If she had to call Russia to her aid in putting
down the Hungarians when she was in perfect
peace with the rest of the world, much less
could she keep them down unassisted, whit n
she has foreign war on hand. Who, then'
have agreed to aid her in crushing an op-
pressed people, should they rise to assert
their independence? of course, England
and France, the parties who are to be pene
fitted by the Austrian alliance. She gives
them her bayonets, and they pay the price oy
crushing out liberty in Europe VINO can
doubt the existence of such an agreement
and whatmore striking commentary could De
given upon the hypocrisical pretence, that the
present war is on the part Of the Allies war
Of freedom against despOtism!
II does not follow, that if Austria joins tins
alliance. the odds against the Gear Will be
any greater than before. The Times gives
I'D Prussia TO her Russian idols, and from
the preparations she is making tor the de
fence of the Baltic coast, it is more than pro
bable that she anticipates being involved Id
the fray. Next to the French, the Prusslans
are the best soldiers in Europe, and indeed
thew claim the honor of being the real vic
tors of Waterloo. Then giving Austria to
the allies, and Prussia to Russia, the latter,
with the tremendous popular discomfort she
can fan into blaze all over Europe, Is by no
means an antagonist to be despised. If the
frmness of Nicholas does not give way, and
there seems no more likelihood OF that than
of the crumbling of the granite of Cronstadt,
there is a fine chance yet for the people OF
Europe, and it is principally on their account
that Americans feel the slightest interest In
the issue of the Eastern war.
The CHOLERA AND THE ALLIED ARMIES
The terrible havoc witch the cholera has
caused in the allied armies at Varna is the
chief subject of discussion by the European
press. The New York Journal of Commerce
says:
The deadly influence Of the climate in the Dobrut
scha had already destroyed 1t il estimated "a 900
Russian soldiers before their leaders became alive
to the necessity of evacuAtingit Ten thousand
French and English have since been destroyed by
the same dreadful scourge. The blow Is fearful
one, and we have yet to learn at what period the
mortality will have diminished. The sickly hopes
expressed by the English and French Journals, that
the ravages of the cholera were diminishing, are
not in conformity with the latest news from Varna
Our accounts from there reach to the 10Th OF August
only when a whole month, or six weeks, of unaba-
ted heat were awaited, and the probabilities were
small of the immediate disappearance OF the cpl
demic The expedition TO the Crimca, which, it had
been anticipated, would leave Varna on the 18th I'll
timo had been deferred indefinitely, Such post
ponement had been condemned by the more head
lons London Journals but we do not see how could
we'll have been prevented. Experience has not
proved that the deadness OF cholera is diminishe ed
at sea- or on shipboard and the embarkation Of the
allied army, atthe time appointed, would have been
equivalent to invading, with hospital, the Russian
sny1ss; rrapuIeon Eastern
troops was we'll timed. After all that was possible
had been done, it was prudent to express the SYM
patty and encouragement that the head Of 80 excta
bile nation as the French, should feel IL was evil
IDENTITY issued at the last moment, when IL was I'm

nation.
1t is added that the mortality among the
French had been greater than among the En-
glish, owing to the more judicious manage
ment of the English cOmmissariat The
deaths of the French reached one hundred
day, while those of the English reached, at
the same place, only twenty day. But the
aggregate in both armies has been fearful
Sebastopol might have been taken a month
ago at less cost of life; it is now secure, and,
in all probability, will never fall into the
hands of the invaders.
1t is not wonderful that the murmurs in
Great Britain are becoming louder and deep
er at the conduct of the war. The bold de-
nunciatiOn Of Walpole by Pitt might with
justice be hurled at the head of the Earl of
Aberdeen, with scarcely the alteration of
syllable: "The Minister who neglects any
just opportunity of promoting the power and
increasing the wealth of his country, is to be
considered as an enemy to his fellow sub
jects but what eensure is to be passed On
him who betrays that army to defeat by
which victory might be obtained; impover.
ishes the nation whose affairs he is entrusted
to transact. by those expeditions which might
enrich it; 'rho ter,es armies Only to be opposed
to pestilenee, and eompels then. to perish IN
sight Of their enemies withom molestipg
them ?"
The WHITE SULPHUR CONFERENCE.-The
letters in the Fredericksburg News, under
the signature of white Sulphur" were
about the most entertaining. frank and i'm.
partial portraits of the personalities of the
Convention at the White Sulphur SPRINGS
that were written. The talented Editor NJ
LITTLE, was member of the Convention
and of course the author. He however omit.
notice of the last speech, that of Mr.. Boris.
