an accurate idea may be formed of the impress
sions prevailing abroad regarding the complicat-
ed and perplexing aspect of the great political
questions which are now engrossing the atten-
ton of the world. II will be seen that the
text of the Austro-Prussian treaty, which has
at length been made public, so far from re-
moving the doubts that prevailed with regard
TO the sincerity Of the disposition said to be
manifested by the Austrian government, to
make common cause with the coalition, has only
served to increase the anxiety that previously
existed with regard to the course likely to be
pursued by that power We took occasion
short time since, on the authority OF well au-
tLenticated information that had reached us, to
point out the probability of Russian influence
being exerted to sow discussions amongst the
members Of the Germanic Confederation and to
control the action of the two leading German
Powers, by the apprehensions and jealousy
known toprevail amongst the second rate Powers
The close family ties existing between the
Courts Of Bavaria and Greece, and the manner
in which the latter government has been com
promised by the sympathies of its own Subjects
were in themselves sufficient to suggest the pro-
liability that the deliberations of the Diet on
the vital issues that are about to be presented
to its consideration, would be disturbed by the
antagenism Of conflicting interests
These speculations are confirmed by the an
nouncement which will be found in the letter
ofone of our correspondents, that Russian dip
lomatists are busily intriguing at the smaller
German courts, and that next month convcn-
ton is to be held at Bamberg, under the Presi-
dency of Bavaria, in favor of adhesion to the
principle of absolute neutrality in the Eastern
pected, secretly supports this party, and sax
ony is also said to favor it. If these state
ments are correct-and the probabilities seem
in favor of them-Austria will find herself
chained down to state Of forced inaction. Not
withstanding all that has been said of her al
legged inclinations to side with the Western
Powers, we are of opinion that this position
win be more congenial to the real sympathies
Of her government than one OF active hostility
towards Russia. So far it has consulted the
popular feeling OF the country, from an appre-
hension OF the dangers to which it would be ex-
posed by provoking a revolutionary outbreak
but backed by the excuse that the interests OF
Germany demand harmonious action with the
other members of the Diet, it may succeed in
avoiding the alternative to which the Western
Powers have been driving it. Shoald the Aus
TRAN cabinet, however, DE really in earnest in
the views which it is said to take of the con
duct OF Russia, and in its determination to
enforce them, we may look for q proxi-
mate dissolution of the Confederation, and
the breaking out of hostilitics in the heart of
Germany itself In such an event the present
generation will in all probability witness a
more complete revolution in the dynastic AZ
engagements and territorial distribution of the
European continent than took place under that
king leveller and king-makof the first Napo
leon.
In the meanwhile the European revolution
lists whose inaction and apparent supineness
have given rise to so many speculations, are at
length beginning to show signs Of life. An
effort is about being made by them to get up
an agitation in England against the projected
Austrian alliance, on the ground that it would
be fatal to the reconstruction of the extinct
nationality of Poland. In another column will
be found copy Of the resolutions prepared by
The committee appointed to conduct the pro-
cecdings of the great radical meeting which
was to be held at Sheffield on the zlst ut., and
which fully explain the objects of this
movement. Kossuth aud other leading mem
we're to be present at it; and rs this meeting is

and, we may fairly assume that it originates
with that body. They will find, however, that
The object which they propose to themselves
will meet with but little sympathy with the
great masses pf the English people They are

advantages to themselves for speculative ben I
