AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.

The diplomatic rupture between Prussia
and Austria is now complete. Yesterday
Count Karolyi, the Austrian Minister at
leave Berlin with all the Legation to-day.
Such n contamination was to he expected
after the correspondence which has passed
between the two Governments during the
last few days. The dispatch of Count BIS
marck went beyond every such document
We have ever read in discourtesy, in'ec-
tive, and provocation and IL mas pecii
replied To by Count Mcnsdorti IN more
guarded style, but in language wicit SHOWS
offended pride and unconquera"ie, ,'S"iu-
ton. The Austrian Minister LOT fole'Sn
Affairs makes solemn protest against .he
proceedings in Holsteln, ana inc s'a'e-
,,onts nv which il has been attempted to
justitv them. He declines all response
lily for the consequences, and declares
,bot for months Prussia has taken upa posi-
,inn which endangered the former settle
ment. In conclusion, Count Mensdorilrc-
serves To the Imperial Government the
right of taking such steps rs may he found
necessary, since nothing remains for Aus
| tria but To defend her honor and guard her
rights from contempt.
| Viewed by the light shed on it by this
dispatch, the recall of Count karolyi is an
event of grave Importance. 1t not only
puts an end TO negotiations, but even TO
communication. Ii would seem to show
that Austria will not wait to hc actually
attacked, but looks upon the breach OF the
Convention as an act of war, which JUST
hes her in rctaliating at any point and
with all her strength. Prussia was, 1t Is
said, about to send an ultimatum TO Vi
emma: but Vienna has anticipated any
| such mi>Sivc. OF course diplomatic
rupture is not necessarily followed by war,
and il is still possible that the two Powers
NAV remain in that sullen state Of inactive
enmity called Il suspension OF relations.
But ii would be an excess of hopctulneSS TO
expect such forbcarance in the present
case. The tone OF the two Powers de-
notes anything but passive untriendlincSS.
They have dctied each other too fierccly,
and have made preparations too FOR
mdable, for them 10 he content with an
armed peace. Austria particularly has
every reason TO cherish the desire
of vengeance. She has seen her
position threatened and her rights invaded
in Germany, and she also knows that an
implacablc enemy behind her has been
reused into action by PruSSian intrigue.
The Emperor cannot reflect without bitter
ness on what is passing in IlolStcn. His
troops occupied the Duchy last week under
n convention only few months old. On
the prctencc that this convention is an
uullrd, the PruSSianS have entered iiOlStein
in force, and with a purpose which the
affected legality and moderation OF their
generals uttcranCeS have not made less
formidable. The Austrian Government
has been convinced that only a retreat
could save its troops from capture or
destruction. General Gablenz has received
orders to withdraw. The whole Austrian
force abandon the Duchy, which will now
pass completely into the hands Of the
PruSSians. How they are prepared to use
their power may be learned from the pro-
ceedngs of General Mantcutlel. On Mon
dav. the liOlStein Estates, which had
met nj ItHchoc, We're dispersed by his
orders. Thus ends the reign Of law
! and conStitutionalty and the SchleSwig-
IIolstcinerS behold King Stork firmly en-
throncd. Herr Lesser, the HolStein Go
ycrnmcnt commissioner, is arrested and
sent to RcndSburg; Herr hoffman,, the
Austrian Civil AdlatuS, rctircS prccipi-
lately, and the work OF conquest is COM
pletc. From this time forth the DuchicS,
for which German Princes and patriots
were ready TO cunvulSc Europe, may he
considered as forming part of the PruSslan
monarchy. Count Bismarck has So far
gained his ends. He has used first the
people of the DuchcS, then the govern
meuts Of the minor German States: and
lastly, the Kaiser himself for his purposes,
as has AT the very outset accomplished the
object which lie has all along proposed.
1t is great victory; but the more COM
pctc and conspicuous ii Is the greater IS
likely to he the irritation Of the Austrians.
They cannot conceal from themselves that
they have been really driven out of the
country.
