It signifies very little what are the precise terms
of the Russian reply 10 the Austro Prussia sum
mons. Tho fact ie certain that the Russians find
themselves compelled to retreat by the noble stand
made against them by the Turks in front, by the
coming up of the English and French reinforce
ments to the army Of Omer Pacha, and by the me
nscng position taken up on their flank by Austria.
Whether the form in which the Gear thinks fit to
express that fact is that of thigh consideration for
Austria, signifies. repeat, very little. 1t could
could be the dupe of such compliments; aud that
possibility might form very sufficient Russian mo-
tive to make virtue Of necessity, and turn diseases
to commodity.
from that quarter should have the slightest influence
on the Austrian Court and Cabinet, after the very
recent experience how little consideration the Gar
was disposed to show to the urgent unenforced
representations from Austria. II bis high consdera-

by the Power whose arrogance and ambition have
alone oecasioned that peace to be broken. Austria
knows well that her present relations towards
Western Europe alone compel Russian "considera.
ton, and can alone ensure it. II is in alliance with
France and England only that the vital objects of
her own security. and her own commerce, can be
realised in the results Of this contest. &
The events Of 1858 threw Austria into position
towards Russia cmiously and closely analogous to
that in which those Of 1918 threw her towards

reason hitherto to believe that she understands
as she then UNDERWOOD, her advantage, and the
scale in which che can alone safely throw her
sword. The first Emperor Of the French fondiy
imagined her family alliance with him must then
tie her hands, as the Emperor Nicholas probably as
fondy imagined last year that her equivocal obiiga.
tons to him on the side of Hungary must tie her
hands now. But In whatever quarter might be mis-
taken the course enoned by the imperative force Of
circumstances, and the clear dictates Of patriotic
craftsmanship, we may be sure they are not mis-
taken by that veteran statesman, who, in lS13 sus
tanned unmoved the imperial indignation Of Napo-
likely to inspire into the generation which yet lis
tens to them any disposition to lean towards Russia
now.
Forty years ago the errors Of the great con.
queror, who had made Austria pay the price Of hu.
initiation for his alliance, enabled her, at the .cris
cal point of time, to throw q decisive weight into
the scale hostile to Napoleon. The not less errors
OF the much less invader who vexes Europe now,
have given Austria closely parallel opportunity,
and have indeed imposed on her closely parallel
roe. M. koasuth may cry ont upon her trcachery
and ingratitude at either epoch others may extol
her uniooked-fcr vigor; we content ourselves with
pointing out the fact that the irresistible course Of
things dictates to Austria q decided and decisive
course at the present, as il did at the former crisis.
France now takes that part in the common interest

The seat OF the war now appears on the point Of
changing The evacuation OF the Danubian pro-
vinces, If necessary to save the invaders from still
more complete catastrophe than any they have sus-
tanned hitherto appears also necessary for the rein
forcement Of the Russian forces in the Crimea. II
is now reported that all the Russian troops stationed
AT Ismae Galatz and Ibraila, have been ordered TO
the Ciinca. On the other hand, the immediate
probability of combined operations by land and sea
against Sebasiopo is inferred from the fact that so
pieces OF ordnance, of the heaviest cabre had been
transported to VarDa. The war is not at an end,
though the march to Constintinople Is. Between
Russia and Western Europe the tug Of war is begin
