leteTb Tor Ie6chen, on the frontier OF the Saxon and
Austrian dominions, where tie two soveneigns have
just met. When this interview took n'acc ii appeays
to have been already known at BeriI, from some
previous communication with st. Petersburg, that
the lat Austrian demand for the evacuation Of tue
Prncipaltics would be rejected Is soon N made,
ana 10 Ia surursed that the object of the King of
Prussia in having recourse to ths personal appeal
10 the Emperor Of Austria 20 deprecate the re-
suits which have been not obsourely hinted at in
the Austrian communicati0n to the Court Of Russia.
The King Of Prussia has battered himself and may
continue to atter himself that he Ia play the part
ofs great pacicator in this crisis, though in reality
be has played, and stili continues play, higher
part than that Of subsltern accomphce Of Russian
aggression. But the young Emperor Francis j 'seph,
who had the spirit and the rmness to resist, in the
month OF September last all the influence and the
sedactons OF the Gear Nicholas IL not Likely TO fi
In this prsent mouth OF June under the paerile
contrfvances Of Frederick William Of Prussia. We
trust that he will continue to uphold the interests Of
Germany and the cause OF Europe with higher
aud stronger hand, and we certainly do not an
ticipate or apprehend that tho Austrian govern
ment will turn aside from the it has thus far
steadily pursued under any rom0nstrance that
Prussia cub address 70 it. On the contrary we are
not witbeut hopes that the ascendancy Of more
robust character and more settled policy will
make itself felt even by the King OF Prussia in this
interview, tor, il the conduct of tho Emperor
Francis joseph in the present emergency be worthy
oi the imperial position which he fills, it will place
him for perhaps the next half century at the head
The present state of affairs becomes every day
more ntoerable to Ge many, and TO Austria ia par.
tieular. The whole commerce Of the Danube is an
nihilated the extensive system of intercourse with
the East, organized by the Austrian Loyd's, il in
terrupted or diverted to the purposes Of war. The
army, which was reduced last autumn from motives
OF economy IL again raised to the full war compile
ment; and long as contest Of this nature il 20
ing on, even though Austria should not be engaged
as principal in II, these enormous expenses must
be incurred In short all the conservative interests
OF Austria, and all the social interests of Germany
loudly demand the restoration of peace; hut peace
can only be restored by debating terms to the agres
sOr aud by placing the independence of the Ottoman
territory aud the navigation OF the Danube beyond
the reach OF such attacks. Uuquestionably the in
terview which has just taken place must have dis.
PEELED all further uncertainty as to the relations of
the two German powers. 1t is the treaty OF Berlin
In action. One of them, at least conceives herself
to be on the brink Of hosities The last conditions
Of suspension of arms are said to be rejected. On
the frontiers of Galcia and the Bukowina large
hostile armies are almost within cannon range.
The Intercourse Of the Austrian ministers with
Russia is all but broken off, and the Austrian inter-
nuncio, at Constinople publicly applauds the policy
of the Western Powers. Unless some sudden and
extraordinary change occurs within the next few
days, in the aspect Of Affairs, they are maniiestly
tending to that consnmmation which the Austrian
government, in connection with the Western
Powers, has slowly but steadily pursued.
A corps of dragons are ordered to advance by
forced marches into Moldavia. Gen. Sotikoff has
been killed before Sisria as was ALSO on the 29th,
Lieut.. Gen. Sylvan, who fell bravely at the head Of
his troops. Gen. Luders continues sick, but retains
his command.
A despatch from Vienna, published in the Paris
Monite,r, says THE statement of the removal Of
Prince Paskewitchs headquarters to Jassy is con-
rmed by all the news from the frontier. The report
of the concentration, in Moldayia, of the Russian
corps which was marching to the Danube, appears
to be equally authentic.
These new measures seem to afford an answer TO
Austria's movements on tho frontier Of Transyl-
an!a II IL stated positively that Prince Gortscha-
koH viii retain the command In chief of all the troops
on the right bank of the Danube.
THE RUSSIAN ARMY OF THE DANUBE.
The Paris Monitew says:-We learn by telegraph
from Vienna, that according to information trans-
mitted to that capital by the telegraph from Ger
novitz, In the Bukovina, an unexplained movement
was taking place in the Russian army; the corps,
which were marching southwards, beyond Jassy,
were ordered, 1t seems TO retrograde to the north
as fur as Tirgu Formos in the direction of the Buko
vina and of Gacia. The head quarters of Paskie-
witch are also removed, it is sad to Jassy and the
Prince himself was expected by the 11th or 18TH in
the capital of Moldavia with all his staff

the 9th in the (oficiaD Austrian Correspondent.
OPERATIONS OF THE ALLIED FLEETS IN
THE BALTIC SEA.
The following is telegraphed from Berlin:--
Brohestadt formed, on the north of the Gulf Of
Bothnia, has been cannonaoed with success.
From Stockholm, June 7, il is stated that Admiral
Napier, with nine screw ships-of.the-lne, was Off
Swe ab0rg on the 4th of june The rest of the fleet
was cruising in the neighborhood. They couli des-
cry the Russian fleet, about ten line obatte ships,
at anchor behind the batteries. Admiral Cory was
advancing with his squadron.
The ice at Archange broke up on May 18th.
private letter states that the Russian govern
ment has notified the ship owners Of Finland that
they can save their ships from capture by taking
out Prussan papers, which will be granted on applf-
cation at Prussian ports.
A correspondent Of the London Times, dating "off
Helsingfors" on June 5th, says:-The navigation of
the Gulf OF Finland under the most favorable state
Of the weather. is attended with difficulty especially
for ships OF great draught Of water At the present
time it Is rendered more hazardous from the fact of
the Russians having removed the various buoys and
beacons which denoted the usual channels. As an
instance OF one Of the impediments which the ene-
my has thrown in the way of the safe progress OF
the feet up the Gulf of Finland, it may be cited
that the lighthouse on the island Of Hango,
which is situate at the northwestern entrance Of
the gulf has been pulled down, and the usual
marks for vessels entering the roadsteads have
been removed. Throughout the whole length of the
gulf similar proceedings have been adopted by the
enemy, but which, however, will not have the effect
intended. By sending in advance two or three
small steamers to take soundings and bearings the
large ships will be able to shape safe course to
Sweaborg, and thence to the vicinity of Cronstadt
Nc further bombardment of the forts commaui-
ing Hango Udde has taken place. Their complete
destruction would have been easily effected, out
attended with no advantage. The fortresses Of
Sweab0rg mount 500 guns of large calibre, onehalf
of which, it is stated, could be brought to bear
81 y ships attempting to pass through the narrow
channel to the harbor of Helsingfors. In the garr
several thousand artillcrymen, and appears
to be the opinion of those who have given the sub
ject much serious consideration that our ships not
withstandirg their powerful armament, would make
Int little impression on batteries Of solid granite
1t is not, therefore, probable that any attack on
Sweaborg will be made. But admitting that the
feet succeeded In demolishng these fortresses they
could hot be retained without large body of troops
