THE WAR AND THE GERMAN POWERS.
From the London Chronicls July l4l
A great change has taken place, within the last
few days, both 10 the military and in the political
position Of affairs. Some weeks since, the Austrian
GovernmfDt concluded . convention with Turkey
for tho immediate occupation Of the princpaities;
and it was believed that the division under Count
Coronini, whose headquarters had been fixed at
Ora bad received orders to march, without fur
ther delay, across the frontier. The Rnssan party
ct Berlin, however, succeeded in presenting an OBJ
stace to the immediate execution Of the plans which
had been formed. The Prussian Government com
planned that, afer the union established between
the two great German Powers, Austria had singly
taken step whi,h might probably lead TO hostil
ties; and it was urged that the contingent duty
with which the court Of BerH had charged itself,
Of protecting the imperial territory from invasion,
entitled II TO remonstrate against any fresh pro
vocation to Russia. Il seems that hints aud
mensces Of this kind have bad the effect OF
checking the intended movement Of the Austrian
amy on the left bank of tho Danube, and that
tie Turks and their Western allies must, for the
present., be tontented TO bear the whole bruut Of
lie war. It is not likely, however, that the
Enemy win eventually derive any substantial benefit
frtm the Intervention OF his devoted adhoront.
II ere can be little doubt that an utim alum has 1t
lat been forwarded by Austria TO St. Petersburg
