AUSTRIA


The treaty between Austria and the Porte
has been published. and its provisions are
substantially the same As previously report
ed. The treaty begins by declaring that the
Emperor Of Austria is fully aware that the
existence Of the Ottoman Empire, in its pre-
sent limits, is necessary for the maintenance
of the balance between the States Of Europe,
and that in particular the evacuation of the
Danubian Principalities is one of the condi
tons of the integrity of that Empire" He
then engages to exhaust all the means Of
negotiation and others to obtain the evacua
ton of the Danubian Principalities by the
foreign army which occupies them; and even
to employ, in case of need, the number of
troops necessary to attain that end An ad
ditional article to the treaty between Austria
and Prussia also appears in the late foreign
papers. The two powers declare that the
indefinite continuance of the occupation OF
the territories on the Lower Danube, under
the sovereignty of the Ottoman Porte, by
Imperial Russian troops, would endanger the
political, moral and material interests of the
whole German confederation; as also of their
own States, and the more so in proportion as
Russia extends her warlike operations on
Turkish territory.
They however say that they are united in
the design to avoid all participation in the
war and to contribute to the restoration OF
general peace But should the Russian gov
eminent fail to accede to the request that a
farther advance of the Russians into Turkish
territory should be stopped, and to give "suf-
ficient guarantee" for the prompt evacuation
of the Principalities, then Austria is to take
measures to compel the evacuation, but
mutual offensive advance is stipulated for
only in the event of the incorporation OF the
Principalities, or in the event of an attack
on the Balkan by Russia.
In his reply to the Austrian summons,
Nicholas says he will evacuate Wallachia and
leave for the Danube, but he will not evacu-
ate Moldavia, regarding its occupation ne

ture treaty of peace. Austria, in conformity
with her engagements, advances into Walla-
CHA, and yet, Notwithstanding the decision
of her movements, and notwithstanding the
distrust of her advance by Russia, in concen-
trating her armies in Moldavia, by which she
is secured from an attack on one side by the
allies, and ON the other by the Austrians,
opinions of Austrian treachery are stronger
than ever in England and France The Lon
don correspondent of the New York Herald
says:
Nothing can exceed the feverish disquietude in
England about Austria. In fact the doubts and sur
misses about her proceedings border on the lud
crous. Her obligations to Russia, her treachery
and ineratitude friends and allies her fears for
risngs in Hungary, Poland, and Italy; her interest

ton of Russia; her great influence and strength in
Germany. all conspire to make her conduct an
enigma, and to be watched with intense anxiety
