TIIp POLICY OF AUSTRIA AND ITS RESULTS.
Austria according TO the English papers is on the
eve OF occupying Seryia; whether with or without
tie consent of the Porte. we are not yet informed
Her positon. not only toward the Sultan but even
toward the allied western powers is not yet clearly
defined. but still tie English Government attaches
the greatest importance to the alliance OF the reach-
erous Empire of Central Europe. is therefore OF
rome Importance TO ascertain what IS the real yaiue
of Austrias alliance TO England, what II Is to Rus
SO. and what would be the results of her neutrality
Austria has mustered an army OF 2oO,Oo0 men all
along the Turkish frontier, from Cronstadt IN Tran
sylvana to Cataro in Dalmaa. the principal forces be-
ing stationed as follows In Pennsylvania around
Uernanstadt 80 600 men under Gen. Schck; at re-
terwarden, opposite to Serya, A, coo men under Gen.
Coronini: and in Dalmatia about 2O,OOO men under
tie command Of Cen Manua. From military point
Of view these forces would be much more formidable

Turkey. than to Turkey il they were meant TO side
with Russia; since, should the Austrians invade
Bosnia or Serya the allies of Russia, they would
lave TO encounter tie national resistance of the Serbs
in the first line who are resolved upon opposing any
invader of their territory whether Turk, Russian or
Austrian: and Of the Bosnans aterward who side with
the Turks from loyalty. The Austrian army would
there6 re be sufficiently occupied and could not give
anv effective assistance to the Russians while the IA
tiora movement of the Serbs would extend into
Hungary. where the Hungarian Serbs and Croas are
already leaeued with their Kin beyond the Danube
and few words spoken by England and France to
Italy and Hungary would soon be followed by such
counagration as might, at the first onset, entirely
destroy the house of IIapsburg Austria, as an ally of
the Gar is therefore of no whatever to Russia;
ON the contrary, such an alliance could only weaken
tie Gar as a resolution in Hungary might very pos
silly be soon followed by outbreak in Poland-the
only vulnerable point of the Russian Empire.
These considerations sufficiently explain the fact that
tie Gar does not insist upon Austrias aying herself
with him. He rather requires her to remain neutral,
and until now at least, he has succeeded. The neu-
traty of Austria secures for the Car the neutrality Of
Seryia the most warlike province Of European Turkey
1t induces the Turks to deach army Of observation
toward the Danube, and thus keeps, though we think
quite unnecessarily the best forces Of the Sultan in and
around Widdn. and by abstracting in this way some
$4,000 men from the Turhish army Of operation it nd
recty strengthens Russia by about 30, 900 since
the Gar finds it unnecessary to detach an army OF
observation against Austria Besides since the army
of Austria Rains intact in the struggle neutrality
enables the Emperor Francis Joseph to interfere in the
war, should it take disastr turn for the Russians
when hy declaring for the Car with an army notdec
mated by war he obtain favorable conditions opeace
for hs great ally. Austrian neutrality therefore by
h6mperng the operations of the Anglo French alliance
aid by insdious proposals of negotiation guarantees
the Gar against any humiliatng peace even in the
WORT eyentuolity.
