 BerNn, Tuesday, July 4.-Various journals of Germany speak of secret communication having been made by Austria to the Russian government simultaneously with the summation, to the effect that if Russia evacuates the Prin- cipalities the German powers will do their ut- most to prevail on the Western powers to put a stop to hostilities, and Austria declares her will lingness to occupy the Principalitis as neutrae power until the conclusion of the war. The truth of this statement learn to be as follows: That subsequently, to the sommatson having been sent off, Austria has caused explanations to be made in St. Petersburg by word of mouth, for the purpose of depriving the sommatao'a as much as possible of any too hostile coloring, and intimating that if Russia will listen to the representations of her German allies, Austria will do her best to procure truce, which shall give time for conference to sit and arrange the terms of peace between Russia and the rest of the world. It is, however, not apprehended that the pacfcatory mania of the German pow CTS will have much effect on on the Czar, and if it should the Western powers must on no account allow themselves to be infected with it.; for the interest of Europe there must be no easily patched-up peace. If there can be any doubt that negotiations of this sort are on foot, it would be dispelled by the following article which the Ffankfuter Post Zeitug has inserted in the most prominent place of its impression of July l:
 "'The resolute bearing of the cabinets of Vienna and Berlin cannot fail of bringing Rus sia if she is calmly open to conviction, to see that the true importance of the European Pent- archy consists in this, that it is not permitted to either of the five great powers to take any step opposed to the will of the other four Austria's geographical position imposes on her the obli- gation the most efectually to operate for the restoration of peace by thrusting herself in be- tween the two belligerent powers, by occupy ing the Municipalities and separating both on the most important field. If the Russians re- tire behind the Pruth, the Turks and their allies will also not pass the Danube. If we bear m mind that both parties have gained an experience and have lost an iluson-the Rus slans the mistaken belief in their military su- perlority, the maritime powers that of the om- impotence of their feets-a resumption of ne- gotatons for peace will become necessary consequence of the existing state of things The merit Of having made such result possi- bleis due incontestibly to the German powers: and we look forward confidently to the Bund's s taking its part also ill it."
