AUSTRIA STOPPING THE WAY TO BES-
SARABIA.

The Berlin National Zeiung an article the ad
vance OF the Turkish army to Bessarabia-a question
which il believes is solved at iast-says-
The settlement Of this question appears TO have given
rise TO long and complicated negotiations The plan Of
the Crean expedition could not be carried ont before
the position on the Danube was secured IT Is known
that Austria who had engaged to bring about the
alton Of the Prncdalties, so directed her military and
diplomatic demonstrations that the Russian army was
not to hurry in it's retreat The Result ws that
the expedition against Sebastopol could not depart until
IN extremely advanced period Of the season, and
then subjected to all the disadvantages and the hazards
resulting tberefrom,
The success OF the operation depended manifestly and
in great measure, upon the Turkish army (Which was
Mt that time better fitted for war; and inspired with
fdence by recent successes making diversion on Bes
sarsba and thereby preventing the sending to the Gr
commanders trusted TO this as certainty, and Oner
Pacha entered into decided engagements in this sense
The Paris M0aieNr announced several weeks past that
he would commence operations forthwith, and that
orders had already been issued from Vienna to the
Austrian commander not to throw impediments in his
way Nevertheless the Turkish troops remained spell
bound in their environments. Whilst the whole OF Dan
nenberg's infantry corps with other rciuorcements
had been sent from the Pruth and had reached Sebasto
pod the Turkish troops did not attempt the most
insignificant movement.
While Austria expressly accorded her moral support to
he Crmean expedition by divers Acknowledgements, and
penlv expressed her sympathy for the Of the
s1cd her internunco at Constantin0pe, and her
generals in the prncpaes spared efforts and that
notoriously counerac the excitement produced In
the councils and camp Of the Turks by these
and to envelope the Turkish forces with Inc rammes cf
most deplorable inactivity.
After Russia had succeeded in concentrating in the
Crimes force far superior to that Of the allies and at
Ter the roads in the Pncpalties had in consequence Of
sutumnal rains &c become bad that they entailed
double difficulties and loss of time to the movement OF
The Turkish forces Austria at length threw open the
barriers which il nerrosed between the troops Of the
lawful sovereign and provinces to which Austria
stranger.
England and France conduct themselves towards Aus
a with such exceptional consideration that dark veil
still hangs the douot thorny negotiations that
have led to this solution.
When the heroic efforts which being made by Other
great European nations to give material and moral
dity to acts during this mighty crisis considered
and when all that Il dear to them at stake, is
difficult icrcsee what receptions may not be in store
for Others through these auctuaug nactions aud
clskngs.
