PARIS, APRIL IL, 1854.
Expectations of an approaching de6nitive decla-
ration of the German Powers on the side of France
and England are again becoming strong in France
NJ. DE LA GUERoNNIERE, the grand director Of the
political course of the two principal semoficials,
has just re-appeared in tri-column article, pub
lished simultaneously in the Pays and Constitu-
tionnel, announcing the suspicious event in his
usual rounded and elegant phrase. he says:
awe have never doubted Austria. We had as guaran
Of the sincerity Of its engagements and Of the ecicn
of its alliance not its honor only but its most capital
interests attaching it to our cause We are happy TO
have to to-day the increasingly decisive att
tude of the Cabinet Of Vienna Ii this Power is not al
ready by the side of France and England in action after
having been loyalty and theoretically with them in
collation. it may be said that she is upon the point
of taking prfs de prde the position which belongs to
her in the great struggle for European right Between
her and ourselves there remains difference but
that Of the hour What did yesterday from prudence
she will do tomorrow frem necessity"
Touching Prussia the writer says:
Prussia whose policy has of late been osclatng be-
to make common with Austria, if the latter Power
ranges herself by the side of the Western Powers against
Russia Prussia, above all things aims to maintain her
influence in Germany. She would lose this completely if
she to espousc the cause of Russia at the moment
Austria going forth to do battle in the of Ger
manic prepouderance Her foresight has already enabled
Prussia to form just appreciation Of her interests The
sagacity of her the patriotic public spirit
of the country will do the rest The Cabinet of Vienna
by declaring Itself against the Gar will then in point of
fact constitute European alliance of which the object
will be the maintenance OF the equilibrium Of the States
the independence of nations, and the defence of civIa
ton This coalition Of all the great Powers followed as
it most certainly would be by the adhesion of the second
airy Powers would be- should be defntvey formed as
there is ground to hope, the most considerable fact in
European politics that has taken place for sixty years"
It is right that should signalize the renewed
hopes that are springing up Of seeing all Western
and Central Europe united in arms against the CO.
lossus of the north; and will but just add the ex
preston of my strong doubts that this desired
consummaton is at hand NJ. LA GuERoS-
sanguinely hopes. We have yet received au-
thentc definite intelligence from the German capitals in
validating the argument by which have hitherto main
tanned the superiority of the motives which will determine
Austria in favor of Russian alliance when the moment
shall arrive for her to take up one of the active
beigerents. Much talk has been heard during the last
week Of protocol said to have been signed at Wen

provide for speedy union of the Of Austria and
Prussia with those Of England and France drive the Gar
