In which it was said that having communicated
with the Berlin cabinet on the subject" Austria
would move in the Diet thst certain part OF the
contingent II the Bund should he placed on war

very few days after The Prnssian csbioet declared
that II knew nothing whatever OF the communities

by the Osf Dcutsohe Post from Berlin. On the
LIST the Saxon Minister. NJ. de Beust. went to Ber-
to speak of the Austrian note of the 18th Of July.
The Prussian Minister replied that he knew no
thing Of the matter, got angry and. instead Of de-

On tie same DAY that tho Vienna circular was for

de Manteufel the first information Of the step which
Austria proposed taking at Frankfort. The Oesf
Correspondents last night contained reply to an arti.
Gle which day or two since appeared in the Preus-
sce Correspondence, and has doubtless already been
communicated by your Berlin correspondent. After
observing that is not his business to say whether
the government writer proceeds to defend che re.
cent policy Of this Cabinet. AS Prussia has the
same Obligations towards her German allies as Aus

the Berlin Cabinet considers the diferen Q in the
attitude Of the two Powers in the Oriental question
"a mere matter Of FORM" Austria has, by ex-
changing notes with the Western Powers, formally
declared her agreement to certain conditions Of
peace and ia justification Of this step article " OF
the Austro Prussian treaty is quoted, which only
forbids such conventions with other Powers as
are not in perfect accordance with the fu fundamental
principles o. the treaty the Interests q Germany
that the Prussisn Cabinet caunot at one and the

the acceptance of the same must depend on the

From the London Times, Aug. Is
The message Of the President Of the United
States, by which Congress was requested to place
sum of 10000 900 at the disposal Of the execu.
tive government, in order to meet such exigencies
the public service as may arise 10 the recess has
failed to produce the effect anticipated by Mr..
Pierce and his friends. Congress has adjourned
until the moth CT December and has refused to
dence which he required. The accounts received
fcm America all concur in stating that this refusal
has lot arisen from sny reluctance on the part Of
Congress or the people Of the United States to take

Outrage committed by Captain HolIins at Greytown,
had excited the strongest distrust Of an admnistra
