THE ENGLISH REVIEW OF THE ABOVE.
IErom the London Timas March II

We have before us three official communications ema
mating FROM Of Austria Prussia and Rus
STA and published by their respective organs in the form
usually given to the ministerial declarations of those
Powers. They all of the highest importance, and
throw considerable additional light on the political state
Of Europe The language of Austria is not entirely ex-
ric but, as far 1t goes, it is clear and firm She
publicity records the conviction of the imperial
government that the peremptory summons OF the
Western Powers to the Court Of Russia is founded
substantial rights and to which Austria has
stany adhered She adds that up TO this time Aus
tria has endcavored to reconcile well she conld
the general interests of Europe with the duties
which her friendship and alliance with Russia
imposed upon her; but that the declaration % war
she shall consult her interests which compel her at
to take measures against the imminent dangers Of
and instruction Considering the circumstances in
which she is placed and that her diplomatic relations
with Russia not yet broken of this language is per
bsrs, much could be expected from the Court Of
Vienna at this moment embarrassed as that court is by
the regeneration Of Prussia and the ntrgues OF the
minor German States This document is
markablc for what it omts than for what i. says II
does not pronounce the word 'ncutrality''-it does
not profess any hope of reconeation-it does
not threaten to stand aoo in the easy attitude of
expectation, and to side with the winning party
in this CONFUSION Of Europe The Austrian government
continues it's preparations for war with unremtng ac-
tivty Troops their march to the southeastern
frontier General Coronni has advanced his headquar
tiers from Temesvar to Scmn and the Archduke Albert
il appointed to the chief command OF the forces may
here be Observed that the attitude assumed by Austria
appears already to have had the effect Of causing the Rus
SLAMS TO make retrograde movement in Little Walla
CHA the troops which concentrated in the villages
round Kaciat falling back the Schyl, and the
threatened attack on that position seems indefinitely
postI
There cannot be greater contrast to these measures
Of the Cabinet Of Vienna than that which the language OF
the Court Of Prussia unhappily presents The PrSs1n
(crepndnce OF the 18th ofMarch, publishes elaborate
fetal declaration, calculated II seems to TO bear
cut 10 the fullest extent the observations we had made
on The conduct Of Prussia few days before. Prussia
alone. in this great conjuneture of European affairs,
renounccs all participation in the active measures
contemplated by the other Powers Prussia alone,
and truly, boasts that she Ia bound by no positive
engagements TO that extent. But by withdrawing
comedies TO Russia all that the Emperor Nicholas could
pesrme to AK and she aggravates the general position
Of the continent by neurazng the part which the pee,
pie Of Germany called upon to play The individual
forces of Prussia may be Of little Importance in such q
contest but the eeot produced by this Of
the public interests Of Europe for the most paltry
tves ard confused is clearly tho result Of Rms
sian inf the King OF Prussia II will AFFECT
every who has heart for the Independence OF Ger
many, with moro pain, humiliation and resentment
than caro- to express.
Tia Importance of this determination the part Of
the RUSSIAN government Is considerably increased by
the circumstances under which IT has formed and
rblised to the world The German papers have algcady
ssatedand We believe with perfect trnhthat several
Four Powers settle the Eastern question the broad
! basis of European interests, ana providing means
epd and France, and presented 70 the German
Powers for their adoption. The Cabinets of VI.
emma snd Berlin were at thai time Of opinion
recently and since Count OroE mission the project Of
the treaty has been resumed IT Vienna in high
Iy honorable TO the Austrian Minister'S and there was
reason 10 suppose that obstacle would prevent the
completion Of this important scheme The obstacle such
a. H. has from Prussia and IL IL in con-eq
the pressure applied that vscstng and feeble
by the other Powers OF Europe that she has put forth
the declaration which forms the subject OF those obssr
vatons She stheoro not only separating heese from
the general policy Of Europe, but distinctly opposing
the measures required and recommended by Austria her
self, TO give effect to that policy utterly
unworthy Of state which is allowed to rank with the
Great Powers We never remember to have Witnessed
the King Of Prussia, IN his absurd attempt 70 retain
expccant position between the two great interests which
divide tbe world deserves to draw himself the hoxti
~ AID the contempt OF both belgsrents. We say NJ
