that it had received news tnat on the previous day
the Emperor of Austria and Count MensdorE against
the advice of some other Ministers resolved to with
draw Count Karolin. the Austrian Ambassador from
Berlin. which decision being made known to the
Prussan Minister at Vienna. it was expected that he
would depart Immediately. 1t is added in explana-
tion that Count Mensdorf receiving the Prussian
answer on the 5th telegraphed Berlin repetition
OF the Austrian demand of the 7th, and received a
fresh refusal the 10th, hence a council was held
and bold course adopted. The Times believes this
action is to be followed by a significant military
movement viz the withdrawal of the Austrian troops
from Holstein, where they are held in check by a
superior Prussian force. This would enable Austria
to assume the offensive and, the Times says, the
abandonment of Holstein by Austria will be regard
ed as an act in anticipation of war, and cause
general alarm. 1t does not however consider war
to be inevitable.
