Austds must b closely watched. To AL appear
ance that shiftiak power contemplates another Of
those acts Of treaehery which rendered itinhmous
during the arsof theFrepch revolution Accord
ing 70 the most reliable accounts Of The circular ad
dressed by the cabinet at Vienna TO its diplomatic
agents on the 18th Of May Austria affects to be-
lieye herself relieved from the obligations she con-
tracted to the Western Powers by the treaty Of
the I'd Of December.
The Vienna Cabinet does not dispute the right
Of the beigerent powers TO lay down conditions In
their own interests going beyond the original base;
but il maintains that the protocol ofthe I'd Decem-
Der will thereby be departed from, and that the
imperial government IL only bound by the engage
ments entered into anterior TO this departure On
this plea the Viena Cabinet hods to
repudiate its pledges To take active part ia the war
against Russia although Russia has refused 70 con-
clude peace on the basis Of the four points.
) fIfthe latest accounts from the Austro- Russian
frontier may be relied upon, the Vienna Cabinet
has not confined itself to giving these views ex-
preston in words; the Emperor is understood 70

negotiate with Russia on the basis Of the four
points they expressly reserved theirright 70 mod

q Even ministers must now see the unutterablc
folly Of the weak corce ssion by which Austria sas
allowed to occupy the Danubian PTincipalities with
her troops Against that occupation we protested
from the first as unnecessary. The Russians hav-
;np been compelled 10 evacuate the Principaties,
tle native authorities would hsve naturally retumed
their functions. The Turkish army Of the Danube
was able to prevent the return Of the Russians,
evcn though it might not have been found strong
enough TO pursue them into Bessaraba. The In
reference OF the Austrians was utterly uncaled Tor
iii that quarter.
Ever, before the soldiers Of Austria reached Blu.
chares Il became apparent that their occupation OF
the Principalities would be worse than useless. -
By underhand intrigues,g and by open proclama-
lions. the Austrian commanders sought to super
sade the native authorities The subsequent con-
duct of the army of occupation has. been one tis
sua of usurnations upon the local government,
and brutal rnnLtreatr;ent ct the nnofiending ma.
tiyes. The Austrian Occupation OF Wailachia and
Moldavia has been infinitely mols Oppressive ana
Irritating than that of Russia.
And now Austria, in whose hands has peen
deposited this first stake inIhc war between Rus
sia and the Porte unequrocaly betrays her tnten-
ton to desert from the allies 10 Russia Walls. ma
and Moldavia can no longer be safely intrrsted 70

palties, where Il would now be the height OF ibly
TO allow it to remains fs
The conduct Of Austriu il rot the result OF
mere indecision or infrinty Of purpose. Through
out the whole Of her trimming and tortuous pro-
cecdings, Austria has been conscientious kept
her object steadily in view, and pursued 1t without
ALTERING In the first place, she contemplated
with jealousy and alarm the prospect Of Russa's
obtaining possession Of the Princpalities. Aust'ia
repeatedly sought to annex them before Rus7ia
had grown powerful enough to make the atteinps;
and saw with irritation her competitor for the COW

Austria, too, had uneasy misgvings that her
mighty neighbor had an eye upon some oil her
own frontier provinces Austria, therefore, CO.
quoted with the Western Powers until she per-
suaded them TO place within her grasp those prov
iuces which had been rescued from Russia But
all this time Austria had never for moment, lost
sight Of the fact that Russia Is her natural ally
against western liberalism. Austria sought TO Sc
cure herself against the arrogance and rapaciry OF
Russia, not To break entirely with Rufsin and now
that the Gar appears 20 be on the eve Of being 81.

that Austria has got possession Of heprosinoes

Austria turns round and extends the shield of her
protection over power whose aid she feels VIII
soon be required to enable her to keep her ground
against the public opinion of civilized Europe.
Austria has been playing upon all parties, with
a view to promote her own rclhsh and Sinister
ends, and for the moment Il would almost appear
that she has done 30 successfully. But the end v
not yet. PLtry cunning and torturous intrigrA'
may secure partial ana temporary advantages, but
never a complete and enduring triumph. The
final and avowed desertion Of the allies BY Austria
win constitute turning point In the events which
arc now developing themselves before the eyes OF
all Europe. New and holder plans Of action are
about to be forcedo % the statesmen Of the Wet
new political elements are about to be called into
