THE CONFERENCE OF THE EMPEROR OF
AUSTRIA AND THE KING OF PRUSSIA.
(Frcn vhs Loudon Times, June l4.l
The conference Of the Emperor Of Austria and IL
King Of Prussia, at the castle Of Teschen, naturally
continues to excite in the highest degree tho cur
osity and he sslicade Of every cabinet in Enropes
tainty to the results of this interview IL ia eyidesk
that the German Powers are now about 10 tale Do
termination Of the utmost consequence to tho pubic
interests of the world. The Emperor Of Russia has
been called upon, In pursuance Of tho principles
adopted in ali the protocols Of Vienna and In tbs
treaty Of Berlin to evacuate the Prn0ipalties and
We can now cobdder the eventual course Of actioa
Of the German Powers, whether he yields to thfD
summons or whether he rejects It. Should he reece.
ID, would seem TO be the more probable of these
alternatives, little doubt be entertained that the
Court of Vienna is resolved and prepared to enforce
by arms those conditions which the Western Powers
are already contenuing for, and which Austris hee~
self has uniformly declared to be the fixed and india
pensable object Of her policy.
When Count Orlof was informed, during his sh0et
mission to Vienna, of the nature aud extent Of tho
concessions required of his master, be replied thaA
the conditions imposed on him by Austria would
have The effect Of rendering the war against Turkey
declare war as exact them. Undoubtedly, the o.
ject Of Austria, well Of the Western Powers. h
to render this war Of Russia against Turkey impns
sible not only at the present time, but for the I'd
ture. IT, therefore, Russia persists in carrying o.
this war, she does 1t at her peril, and In opposition
to the military as well as the political strength a
Europe. The latest intelligence from Vienna repre-
sents that the Russian staff acting doubt under
orders from st. Petersburg is already altering ths
disposition of the Russian armies IN the ma ,ner
which was long ago pointed out by us as the in
eyitable result Of the .warlike attitude Of Aus
tria. The divisions advancing southwark to tho
Danube by. volhynia, Podolia, and Moldsvia aze
stopped in their march, SO as to confront the Am
trian armies of Gallicia, the Bukowina and Transy
of march, while still larger FORCE belonging to tho
lst and I'd divisions of the Russian army and REIN
forced by five regiments Of Grenaders, threatens tho
Austrian frontier to the northeast from the kingdom
Of Poland. These preparations for active hosttiee
against Austria are accompanied as is well known
at Vienna, by secret attempts OF Russian agents
in the south SlavOnian provinces, and even in
Italy, to excite disafection and rebellion against
the Austrian government. On both sides, thero-
fore, the Courts of Vienna and st. Petersburg
have taken measures against one another which arc
not Of a. nature to be forgiven. Austria has
thrown between Russia and her intended prey sn
army whose mere presence on the frontier Is more
embarrassing to Prince Paskiewitsch than the
allied forces he has to encounter beyond the De-
nube; Russia on the other hand seriously threatens
the territories of Austria by her armies In the field
while she secretly assails the integrity Of the en-
pire by encouraging those revolutionary schemes
which the Emperor Nicholas was wont to prescribe
as the most dangerous and dishonorabe weapon of
political warfare. Under these circumstances the
re-establishment Of peace by the mere acceptance
Of conditions rendered to the Czar by the other
Powers appear to us to be highly impro bable.
But let IL be supposed, for the sake of argument,
that Russia does accede to these conditions as far
at least as the evacuation Of the Principalid y n
concerned. Would that be sufficient or satis-
factory solution Of the present crisis in the eye:
even Of the German Powers? We trust that
they are by this time too strongly impressed by
the magnitude Of this danger to themselves and to
Europe to be ensnared by any such delusion. They
are prepared to oppose Russia and to restrain her
from the perpetration Of great wrong; but they
are not prepared to resist the depl0rable cOnse-
quences which must ensue IL they were now tompt-
ed to separate themselves from the temperate, but
| unninching determination of the Western Powers.
| They are even more deeply interested than we are
| in securing the independence Of the Danube, and
in taking that when peace is restored between
Russia and the Porte those treaties which establish
ed Russian protectorates in the Ottoman dominions,
| and might at any time be made the prtext Of oct
| cupation or Of war, should not be revived in the
same form. They must be aware that no conditions
Of peace which do not secure these objects will now
be entertained for moment by Turkey or by Eng
land, or by France and consequently that any pro-
positions based on such conditions would only shake
the union Of the Four Courts without producing
any pacific result. They must be aware that their
own subjects, and public opinion throughout Ea-
rope, are deeply concerned in their decision, and
that to recede at all at this moment from the p0ei
ton they have gradually assumed would be fatal.
Lastly they must perceive, that If they do not per-
severe In the course they have adopted until this
war ia terminated hy solid and equitable peace,
they would forfeit the confidence of the Weston n
Powers, without gaining the goodwill Of Rux o,
and would in fact, place themselves between tho
two contending forces without even the protes tion
of that neutrality which they o. one time pros essed
to observe. These considerations appear TO us to
be 30 obvious and SO irresistible that have never
allowed ourselves to doubt that they would at last
prevail over every obstacle, and convince t.he Ger
man courts that they cannot hope for safety aud
impunity In partial concessions. or In ter ms which
do not secure all the essential points at issue in this
quarrel.
If, indeed, the policy of the German States were
governed BY the spirit aud the for tsjpht of
Frederick the Great or Of Maria Tf,euesa. ve
should venture to hope that their mea mrea would
not stop here. For the first time since tho parti
ton OF Poland, rupture appears sto be im

| shared in that transaction. Let Anstr;a ani
