The Cabinet of Vienna is still hesitatinp

austrian Court from the vengeance of those it

lnrisn Cabinet has become still more vacil-
AFos after the speeches which the illustrious
Nagga, orator and exile has of late delivered
N England, and in which he alludes to the
visibility of the Emperor of Russia making
successful appeal to some of the nationali-
ties over whom the house of Hapsburg extends

Court cannot be Ignorant of the little reliance

erng prospects held out to them by the Car.
The difficult position of Austria appears as a
u:. punishment for the treachery, cowardice,
I'd cruelty, which the Hapsburg family has
ans.anty exhibited toward the subject nation
sHiesj and in its dealings with foreign Powers.
The sympathy which the good natured Ger
Fans COW generally cyince toward Austria,
"a account Of tho signs it has given of resist
suce to Russian oncroachments is, to say the
least, much misplaced. The Imperial Court of
VIENNA hates the liberty of the people aud free
Institutions equally as much, aud perhaps even
nGe than does the Gar. Therefore the Da-
najian Principalities would be in no better
condition, By exchanging the protection of the
Hsp:burg5 for that of the Romanofs. Be-
SIDES VIC can discover no motive worthy of
Praise, which would justify the Austrian Court
IN manifesting 80 fragrant an ingratitude as
TO unite, at the present moment, with the enc
uis Of the Car, in order to cause his humili-
sdOn. Even if We should admit that Cesar

Digger against his benefactor.
l. would appear that the Turkish Govern
meat had promised Austria not to permit Omer
fssha to cross the Danube, and that at least
the English Cabinet was aware of this prom
lse. The attack and capture of Guirgero. which
took place without the order of Omer Pasha,
cd therefore embarrass the Sultan and his
ministers; still it was resolved to draw the best
possible of this fortunate eJent,
and TO attempt to explain the matter satisfac-
tcrLy to Austria. The Cabinet of Vienna ap-
pears however, ready to use this event as an
excuse OF avoiding accomplishing its promise
70 Cause the Russians to evacuate the Princi-
IaEses. The London Times in a late article,

AIIeafs reasonable to suppose that the editors
Of tie Thunderer, and perhaps Lord Aberdeen
himself, whose friendly relations to the Times
cannOt be doubted, deem it advisable that the
allied forces should not cross the Danube, as
sl:h step might awaken the jealousy of Aus
tina which desires TO have alono the merit of
causing the Russians TO evacuate the Principal

Austria is sincere and while we admit the
Importance of attacking the Russians in the
Cnmea the course recommended by the Times
seems very Questionable. Ii is, indeed, very
evident that Austria has no chance of persua-
ding the Car to evacuate the Prineipalities and
lev, who understand anything of the relative
strength of Russia and Austria, can entertain
much confidence in the ability of Austria to
accomplish by force the desired object. It
must however, be admitted, should the Aus
iran army invade Wsllachia while the army
