The same destination Or did it menace Pledment
with war direct if Garibald were not checked In
bis career by Piedmont After all, has Austria
sent any such note; or indeed any note to Pied
mont within the last ten days These have been
for a week, and are STILL questions much debated
here and have all received positive affirmative and
negative answers from the newspaper correspond
ents and highly Exaggerated quantity and
variety of coDjectural solutions from editing
journalists and shrewd oral commentators. Last
Tuesday the belief that the Viennese Cabinet had
notified the Turin Cabinet that Austria would IN
tervene with armed force to repe Garibaldlan IN
yasiOn of Naples was generally accepted; ny
Thursday the belief was much shaken; by Satur-
day it had given way not merely to Indifferent skep
ticism or negative unbelief, but to quite active
disbelief No direct, official, positive proof OF Its
existence had appeared, and people persuaded
themselves by priori argument that Austria would
not repeat her last years error by taking the hrst
stem in an Intervention that might well lead to
general war. To-day (Monday) should say that
fine formula of the state of public opinion respect
ing this admonitOry, not to say menaclng, Austrian
communication is, There is something IN 1t.
We give up the formal diplomatic note from Count
Rechberg to Count Cavour, but we hold to some
sort of communication from Vienna that has reached
Turin. say in a fast and loose conversational form
through the mouth of the Prussian Minister at We
tor Emanuel's Court, the drift of which is that If
Victor Emanuel does not stop letting Garibaldi help
him 70 the Italian throne, Francis Joseph will do
something or other serious. l do not think that the
case can be stated more distinctly, nor that rhetOr-
zeal soemnity of phrase would be more apt to it.
II is not apt TO the truth of current history to treat
Of il in classicay balanced antitheses. The pieces
now acting on the worlds stage are altogether OF
the romantic school. Garibadi, the outlaw, ex-
candlemaker is become one of the first European
powers: Louis Napoleon, the outlaw, is another;
King Francis, belonging to one OF the "odest fami-
lies" of European royalty, is but crowned
weakness.
If this communication between Vienna and Turin
is not in black and white on diplomatic note paper,
nor vet in the informal talk of Herr Brassier de st.
Simon with Signor CavOur it still is in the air. If
not drawn up in Count Rechberg's bureau, it is ed
tied by public opinion not without critical reason,
from notes and signs of the times, of which | re-
cord some of the more significant. Your readers
will concatenate them and draw conclusions, ac-
cording To their judgments. Let the modest ones
among your readers be assured that the best in
formed correspondents and ablest editors (of Eu-
ropean iournals) are not a whit further advanced
in the counses of Cabinets than their humble selves:
nay, the intelligent subscriber to TRIBUNE Club,
residing in Haleluab, on the the frontiers of
Minnesota, has one decided advantage over your
own correspondent in Paris in Judging Of the state
Of Europe; as per contra, | may perhaps be a
sounder calmer judge than he of the result Of the
coming Presidential election in the United States.
A man in the midst Of q street row cannot so well
predict its result as an unengaged spectator from
bird story window. And / do not hesitate to
assure my French liberal acquaintance of what /
never dared prOphesy in 1854 Republican tri-
umph in the approaching Presidential election; but
as to the state Of Europe, so far as the Italian
question (Which is but the local label of a, of the
universal European and human question: is con-
cerned cOnfne myse If to facts as much as posi-
bic. To tint the plain black on white with the
warm cOlors of my own hope would be but selfish
amusement Now, TO the question of the Austrian
Note.
You already know that the Prince Regent of
Prussia and the Emperor of Austria met the other
day at Teplitz What their talk there amounted
to none Of the public definitely knows. Versions
of ii ad RauSedm the public has been furnished
The most accepted, / hardly dare say the most
probable, compound extract of these versions
amounts TO this: In respect TO internal German
affairs Austria rather yielded to Prussia-i. e..
Austria accepts submits TO the Prussian Govern
ments notions of reform in the military Organ-
zatOn of the military forces of confederated Ger
many, and agrees not to quarrel with Prussia for
taking the lead (l) i'll the national German tendency
toward reformed, united German nationality. In
respect Of foreign affairs the Prince Regent agrees
that Austria has full right TO Yeneta, and that al
though be will not undertake war with her for the
defense of that territory and the restoration of the
runaway Tuscan Duke, he will lend more or less
material and moral aid to Austria TO suppress any
msurrectiOn within her German limits while she is
engaged in defending Nenetia lit is good deal
palmer than a pikestaif that the war once begun
Austria cannot Limit her military action TO defense
In of French interference in favor of the King of
North Italy, Prussia will declare war against France
viii then take part with Austria in the Italian
war, which comes to the same thing. Finally, that
the Prince Regent will do his possible to bring about
RECONCILIATION between Austria and Russia. There
Is no pretense that these or similar agreements be-
tween the Prince Regent and + Joseph were drawn
ny and signed on paper. That the two men met
with all external signs of cordially is certain.
That +. Joseph has been in higher spirits since than
before the conference is equally certain. This is
directly evidenced not more by what he said than
by the confident tone of his remarks a few DAYS
alterward on occasion of his meeting with the King
Of Bavaria at the opening Of the Austro- Bayarian
Railroad at SalzOurg. And here it is to be spe-
cally noticed that the great German movement
toward national unity is so colored by jealousy of
French ambition at the present time that very many
of the liberals engaged in it subordinate their ber
