Vienna Cabinet that renders all these labors

| futile. -..r
"Behind this we can only see the decided in
| tention upon the part of Austria of forcing on
war with Prussia, and OF, at most, making use
| OF negotiations as to the Congress to gain time
| by procrastination for her own not entirely
! comp Pleted arrangements, but especially for
| those of her allies. The tact OF war is settled
| determination at Vienna; the only further point
| is to choose the favorable moment to begin.
| This conviction is forced upon us with i'm
perative necessity by the most recent facts, aud
| we consider that only an Intentionally prejudiced
view can come to an opposite conclusion. Facts
| now speak too loudly for gossip based solely
upon eonectures, combinations, falsely inter-
| preted statements and empty rumors as to the
| warlike lOngings of Prussia not to dwindle into
| nothingness in comparison. Perhaps we shall at
| last be believed when we solemnly protest
| against any notion of wishing to make good our
| claims TO the Duches by force, aud with dsre-
| gard to the rights of the copossessor. Now, too.
| probably it will not be difficult to understand
| the real motives of the armaments by which
| Austria has given rise to the present crisis, and
| whose removal by means of Congress she has
further taken care to render impossible by the
| attitude che has assumed.
| 1--WE may appeal with calm conscience to
| the Judgment OF all impartial statesmen, as to
which party has displayed conciliation and love
| of peace up to The latest moment.
| II respectfully request your EXcelency to
! press yourself in the sense of this despatch to
the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the Court TO
| which you are accredited. BIsMARK.
| Berlin, June A."
Regarding this despatch The Times remarks:-
such a despatch as that Just addressed by
| Count Bismark to the Prussian repre- sentatives
abroad has not often been penned by European
| Minister. The PIussian statesman seems now TO
| think courtesy unnecessary IN his commun1ca-
| tions with Austria. All the pride, the bitter
hostility, the almost fanatlcal purpose which
have been necessarily repressed during long
negotiations, break forth when the negotiations
may be considered at an end"
| The troops of King William have orders to
| occupy Klel, Rendsburg, and lttehoe-all of the
| important points OF the Duthy of Holsteln. On
their entry the Kahk Brigade, under the Aus
| TRAN General Won Gablenz will probably re-
| tire, after formal protest, and cross the Elbe
| into Hanover, where 1t will JOIN the main army,
under Marshal Benedict. The London Telegraph
| regards this oustng of Austria from the Duchy
| as fair cdsts beUi.
The Princes OF the royal family of Prussia
| have, as has already been announced received
and departed for their various commands in the
Prussian army. The Princes of the house of
Hapsburg have also gone to their respective
stations, as follows:-The Archduke Leopold,
commanding the Eighth Army Corps, has gone
Archduke Ernst, commanding the Fifth Corps,
for his headquarters in Brunn. The Archduke
William, InspectorGeneral of Artillery, will also
reside in this city. The Archduke Albert is in
| is said, will take command OF the Prussian
army, and the Emperor OF Austria will go to
Prague II the war breaks ont. Thus 1t is not
merely two nations, but almost two royal tami
lies. that are meeting each other on the battle
field.
War-Italy's Dangers and Impattence
| , Conservation of Gne German People.
| From the London Times, June o.
| In one quarter any delays of the Ger
man powers are likely TO excite impatience and
| INDIGNATION. llaly has given herself up 80 COM
| pletely to a warlike policy that it would be i'm
possible for the Government to stop the people,
and difficult for the people to stop themselves
| We know not what secret understanding there
| may be between Prussia and Italy, whether any
| thing like a convention has been arranged and
if so, what form 1T has assumed. But virtually
an alliance has been concluded, and Italy will
not tail to urge upon the Prussian Government
the expediency of immediate war. Italy can
now only see safety in such a course Her
levies are so large, her expenses so enormous in
proportion to her means, the enthusiasm of the
people has been so reused, such multitudes OF
men have hocked nto the army, that to return to
a state OF political quiet and expectation would,
in the opinion OF Italian politicians, be equiva-
lent to national ruin. With her to draw back
would be fatal, while to stand still and allow
the country TO be crushed by war expendi-
ture is impossible. The revolution to use the
| Continental phrase, has been called to the aid
OF the Italian Government; and this same revo-
luton is spirit which is not easily laid when
! * has once been summoned. We may then eX'
pect TO find the Prussian Government exposed
TO the strongest solicitations of its ally, and
Italy perhaps, committed to a struggle by some
rash act OF those whom she has summoned to
her banner. 1t is announced that the King
was Immediately to arrive in Florence, and
that Gen. Cialdini was also to be there. Coun.
cIls of war will no doubt follow, and Italy will
, take her chances in attacking her enemy with
or without the help OF an ally. But if Austria
remains on the defensive, those who attack the
QuadriIateral will have no easy task. Some
thing more than zeal and patriotism is requisite
to turn a strong army out of such position.
If any CLEAN appears on the dark horizon it Ii
: to be found in the temper and behavior OF the
Prussian and other German populations. The
| King OF Prussia and his Minister may well hesl
5 tate when they see what misery they have caused
I and what spirit may soon be reused. The con
t scrlption presses with tremendous severity OF
: the Prussian people. The country, though richer
I and more industrious than formerly, has not in
: | creased in population to q degree which will
| admit Of such enormous GATHERINGS of men. Tht
! | army which is actually in the field is said L
amount to two hundred and eighty thousand
5 fighting men, with ffty-fve thousand accesso

j | depot troops and one hundred and twenty thou

o sons In times OF enthusiasm like 1918 thes
t calls for flesh and blood may be answered
n without unwillingness but war to please
: a Minister, or even to gain seacoast an(
}, a fine harbor, must not make too great de
3 mands. The requirements of the State haV
e now been beyond all bounds. A population o
}, less than nineteen millions is expected to sup
d port an army of more than halt million of mel
on active service. To make up the number, tn
/" clerk is taken from the counting house, th,
tradesman from his shop, and the peasant iron
l. the field. women are everywhere performing
more than their usual share of the hard ant
l. coarse work OF the world. An act of hostilit
e on the part OF Austria, such as the entrance O
y Marshal Benedek into Prussian territory, nigh
is make the people forget these hardships il
ID | hatred of the enemy, but at present the discou
re tent is chiefly with their own Government. No
