There appears to be great variety Of opinions enter
tanned in Austria upon the subject Of the desirabty
of establishing direct line Of steamcommunicaon be-
tween Trieste and New York other ports Of the United
States Some Of our leading journals have taken
ceedngly active part in the discussion OF this interesting
topic The Oesterrechiehe Ztung Of which journal Mr..
Edward warrens is at the proprietor and the Ia
Tented chief editor and who was formerly the American
Consul Trieste takes the lead in strongly recommend
ing the speedy adoption Of the cevery dgested plan of
Chs +. Loosely, Esq, the Austrian Consul General at
New York, and very able correspondence from New
York. which the Oes errechitce Zitg publishes, sup
porting this plan by arguments well worthy Of the aten
ton OF enlightened national economists 1t says and
says truly, that "The project in question would
simultaneously render the most important services
in promoting at once direct commercial relations be-
tween Italy, SPAIN Turkey the whole of the Levant,
Algiers &C. &C. and the United States Of America and
the Austrian flag would, by this means, lure sig
nfcance the Atlantic hitherto unknown" MIR.
warens has published exceedingly interesting article
in which he introduces the subject in question: by
ferng to the rapid and wonderful development Of the
maritime interests If England and America, especially
since the year 1884, proving by statistical data, that
their commercial wealth and power at the present mo-
chiefly attributable thereto In treating of the
project connecting New York and Trieste bSa regular

the full credit Of having started the writer says at the
merchants and traders of Vienna greatly approve of it,
and deem its early realization Of immense Importance
only considered the most eicacous OF promot
ing the commerce of Austria with America. But the
plan itself understood TO be by far comprehensive
and general sgnicancy is immensely enhanced by
the fact that comprises the idea of connecting d.
ss a he ,as eyee

Dardanelles with New York. and respectively with the
whole of the northern continent with the West In lies
and Central America. By the realization Of this
prehensive plan mighty impulse would be given to the
extension OF the Austrian commercial navy which would
create q epoch in the commercial history Of this
country. Many nations and territories would thus be
brought into RAPID ana regular intercourse with

charges which exist between Austria and America,
via liverpool and the North Of Europe. The
travellers from the United States to the Levant and
the far East would reach their destination by direct
route expeditiousy and conveniently, whilst
in the rich industrial and natural products
of the countries the shores of the Mediterranean and
the Levant would rapidly attain degree ofdeve

also there be doubt that the might and ought

Lorsey's grand project has been exceedingly APP
proved ofby all sound political economists in America
and that its early realization is anxously looked forward
to on your side Of the Atlantic.
More less in reply to this article the Oeehische
Z,itung, the Itanderer, another extremely well
Quoted Vienna paper has forward wtha sober state
ment of hard matters Of fact by which that how
desirable the establishment Of regular line of
steamers between Tr and New York may be- the pro-
jtct in question would doubtless be losing affair. This
writer contends that the shipping interest and the gen.
eral commerce Of Trieste have their egii mate and
most advantageous gravation In the cultivation of its
intercourse with the Levant and the East generally and
that II would be prematurenay, unwiseo attempt to
force the development Of the Austrian maritime
into any other direction, at least for the present
The following also given prove that the UNDER

whilst the other hand the general commercial inter-
ests ofAusria would be very little promoted thereby;
the the amount Of the exports from Austria to
America falls infinitely short OF the amount of
the imports from then that the idea Of being able to
establish any thing like fair balance Of trade"
between the two countries however essential must be
regarded altogether impracticable. AS the following
