satisfactory. Prugsla acoepts tnc iOuf points OF
guarantee, but reserves her definition Of the third
and fourth until later period She also acknow-
lodges the efforts OF Austria in behalf Of pcacea
BILE solution of the question, and considers it exped
ent that the confederate army should remain on
footing Of war.
Austria being decided for the present at least, to
take no active part in the war; is turning her atten
lion as energeticaly possible to the Improvement
Of her internal organization. II is generally report
cd that the State property in Hungary is to be sold,
almost Immediately and indeed it is said that several
very advantageous offers have already been received
from capitalists In Belgium and France.
Meanwhile a great improvement will shortly take
place in her means Of railway communication. The
direct road to Cracow will shortly be available and
before two years have expired il is generally believed
that the line will DO completed to Trieste, an event
which will probably tend greatly towards diverting
from the north to the south the channel for various
kinds Of foreign commodities. At present goods
are conveyed from the north even far as Istyria
and Ily1ia. It is likely that Austria will shortly
enter upon new commercial era, especially if the
contemplated lines OF communication are completed.
Her port of Trieste WILL under such circumstances,
be admirably situated for the purposes Of trac, and
the communication being open with the heart Of the
empire, it is likely that corresponding results will
ensue.
The operations of the Allies before Sebastopol
are chiefly confined to the fertilization Of their posi-
tons, and making preparations for rcshipping
great part Of their forces to Vana should they not
he successful in their next attempt upon the Russian
stronghold. The Russian army is much stronger
than before, as large reinforcemens have been re-
ceived, and the resistance they will make will doubt
less be Of the most obstinate description.
Immediately intelligence was received in the
Crimca that Kars was invested o council OF war
was held by the generals Of the allied armies,
and the decision at which they arrived was forward
cd forthwith to the Porte. 80 600 men to be col
leeted at Batoum and elsewhere, and to com
mence operations rs speedily as possible against the
invading Russian army. II il certain however that
such an army cannot be brought to q state Of eff
cheney before the expiration Of Ave or six weeks, and
1t is by no means certain whether the garrison OF
the beleaguered fortress will be enabled to hold out
SO long, 1t is generally said that the stroughods OF
the B0sphorns are to be given over to the French
and English armies, great fears are entertained
Constantinope from the Asiatic side. According to
the last advices, General Nurravief man of great
military fame in the Russian army, is making pre-.
partitions for seige Of Erzeroum, the garrison OF
zouks. $4,000 Russians IRE in position on the high
road leading from that city to Kars aud threaten an
immediate advance.
Letters from Montenegro inform us that matters
are not likely to progress so smoothly as was ex
pected in regard to the new Turkish Paaha who
has lately arrived ut Scutari. A deputation OF
Christians waited upon him short time ago, as
well to congratulate him upon his arrival as to pre-
fer certain petitions which they hoped might be
granted. The venerable old gentleman received his
visiters in anything bnt courteous manner, and
told them to be careful in regard to their behav.
and prefer their complaints in case Of need to two
individuals whom he pointed out rs destined to act
the part of arbiters. These two individuals, who,
like the Pasha himself, are worshippers Of Allah
and believers in the Prophet, are better known FOR
their total isregar Of every kind Of law. both mo-
raj and CIVIL than for any other quality they possess
They share that independence which peculiarly be-
longs to the p0sessOIs OF harems and the nheitors
ofHours an independence which is very little prone
to give way to any individual whatever. Such is
stated 70 be the character Of the two Turkish gen.
uemen who have been appointed by the Pasha to
act as umpiies in all disputes, and the prospect is
certainly anything but agreeable for the unlucky
Christians whom iteoncerns.
The Emperor has issued an order Of the day rela-
tive to changes about to be introduced in the system
Of per sons to be awarded to officers who
have become incapacitated for service. The order
is accompanied with very fGttering expressions.
In consequence Of the feeling OF dissatisfaction
which has prevailed respecting the procession which
took place on Sunday in celebration of the dogma
q the immaculate Conception, several hundred per-
cons have been placed under arrest. An unwary
expression is sufficient in Austria 10 cause the i'm
prsopnent Of the speaker, who may be incarceratcd
without even knowing his offence, or the name Of
the aecuser who charges him. The system Of espi-
onagc pervades all classes of society, and the cafes
are infested with spies Of all descriptions, who are
constantly paid by the police. An unguarded word
is caught up on the instant, and immediately re-
ported to the authorities who condemn the unfortu.
nate cuprit to prison for longer shorter period
This proceeding IL certainly summary one, and
doubtless fvo1s greatly the interests of arbitrary
and absolute government but cannot be considered
as az tending greatly to the real moral improvement
The market at Tries during the past week has
shown but little activity. Sugar somewhat higher.
Corn maintained its price. Spirits flag. Oil rather
more active.

The late diplomatic duel, or interchange OF NOTES
between the Austrian and PrIssan governments,
has turned out decidedly to the advantage OF the
latter Prussia has carried her point as to the reso
utions to be passed by the German Diet, and Aus

express its formal appreciation of her conduct in the
whole Of the Oriental affair and, as natural conse.
quence, TO defray share Of the expenses arising
from the samc-for, in spite Of the coloring
