AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.

AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.
In the treaty of the Goth of April these
mowers recprocally guarantee to defend each
others territories and interests from All AZ
lacks. They declare that the ihdehhNe w
,unat;on bv the Russians of the Danubian
pr;nc;pal;ties will endanger the interests OF
GERMANY. They state that they consider the
ordinations recently given by the Court of
~ Petersburg, a. Berlin, whereby Russia ap,
pears to consider the original cause OF occu-
tying the principalities as set aside by the
concessions now made to, and in many re-
spects carried out in favor of, the Portes
Christian subjects, as a powerful element OF
pscihcation, which they could only deeply de-
plore we're they to see it deprived OF farther
practical influence. They therefore express
the hope that the expected replies OF the st.
Petersburg Cabinet to the Prussiaii PROPOSE
.;ons transmitted to it under the date of the
sth April, will offer the required sc ;urity for
the speedy withdrawal of the Russian troops
from the Turkish territory.
Should this hope be disappointed, tof which
the London Times says there is now no long
or any doubt,) the Austrian government
agrees to require Russia to suspend Its ad-
vance into Turkey, and to give seclrIty Tor
the speedy evacuation of the prlncl'aiities'
propositions which are to be energsticahy
supported by Prussia. Should the Gar re-
ply be unfavorable measures Will DC aoop'"
ed to obtain this security. The treaty Iarthei
declares. that an offensive action on flepart
of both would, however, be first occaaoned
by the incorporation of the principali'1es' or
through an attack or passage OF the Ii lkali
ON the part of Russia.
Although the treaty was signed on the @oth
of April, there is no intelligence that the oe-
mands it contains have been complied Win
The London Times, commenting on th5 al
tentative in which Russia seems to be placed,
of humiIiating evacuation of the territories
on quarrel with her nearest neighbors, OBJ
serves "Atpresent we know OF nothing 10
warrant the belief that the Emperor Nicholas
has embraced the former ofthese alternatives
and submitted to defeat in its milder form; FOR
the evacuation of Little Wallachia was
strategical operation, and his forces were Ger
tainly pushed forward with activity against
Rassova and ;Silistria down to the latest a.
counts which have reached us from the set
ofwar. Nevertheless, as it's our duty to COL
siderthe various chances which present them
selves in the present posture OF affairs a'e
think it not impossible that the Court Of 81.
Petersburg may resolre, an the face Of these
ansurmomnta6le dificulttes, on q retrograde
.,xhf fBo m nrp
of a compliance nth the demands Of the Ger
man Courts, and might he intended to DIS
solue their close connection nth the Western
Pomers
1t is also added that the first act OF the
Russian Cabinet, on the receipt of the intel
ligence from Europe, was to dOu6fe tie ferfes
of men for the current year.
The Vienna correspondent of the London
Times, under date of April Goth, says that
the resolution recently displayed by the Aus
trian Government, has evidently startled the
St. Petersburg Government; and, he adds,
"there is, perhaps, shado~ Of hope that
the mar nay be q short One.' But he says:
at would be sad mistake, should France
and England act with less energy in the field,
because diplomatic negotiations have been
renewed at Vienna. The Conference riH
probably be protracted, as the Powers hare
not only to settle wkot as to be DONE IN order
to get Russia ont Of the Principalities, INT
also TO decide on the measures TO be taken IN
respect TO Greece
Anew levy of $4,000 men has been order
ed by the Emperor of Austria
The Paris Moniteur does not seem to at
tach much importance to the treaty between
Austria and Prussia. 1t does not give it place
in the column usually assigned to matters of
moment but puts it in its small type news
paragraphs. 1t seems by no means certain
that the allies can rely on the active co-ope-
ration of the German Powers.
