lgan was reported TO be in possession of the
Prnssians.
Cialdina had occupied Padua and yena.
There was no railroad communication with
Vienna, so that unless Cialdina be destroyed,
the Austrians cannot render any aid in the
impending battle with the Prussians
The Times Of the 9th says whatever force
the Austrian Government may succeeded in
gathering round Vienna, it is still doubtful
whether ii will itself be equal to the task Of
withstanding the Prnssians. who according TO
all calculations shall assemble before Vienna
tomorrow or the day after. IL anything was
needed to render the Austrian position hope
less it was the tidings of the disaster at As
cheffenbe re, which must have reached Wen
ma. Pressed by deputation from the We
NICE municipal authorities as to the Empe
r,or's pleasure in regard to the defences of
Vienna the Emperor at once removed the
people apprehensions by answering them
that Vienna would be treated as an open city,
and aided that lie would limit operations to q
defence of the town Of Danube, which
might bring the Prussians attack on Flor
ence, village two or three miles from the
gates of Vienna. The Austrians have forti-
Fed their camp with artillery, but should the
Prussians resolve to attack Vienna, they
would certainly attempt TO cross the river at
several points. and IN case Of success the open
city will undoubtedly fall into their hands.
The state Of encouragement into which the
Austrian army has been thrown by their re-
peated losses in Bohemis, the Times believes,
will deter the Emperor from final encoun-
ter, and trusts that before the Prussians shall
be ready for the onset the interview between
the two monarchs will take place, which
might have been more opportunely held on
the morning OF the disaster of Koningr.tz.
In diplomatic circles at ST. Petersburg it
was declared that Russia had no present idea
Of abandoning her policy of neutrality, and
that only in case of active intervention, on the
pert of any foreign power, in the German
conflict, would she make known her delibera-
tons, and take an attitude corresponding
| with her interests.
