VIENNA, August 40. 1865
IDEA THE RESTORATION AUSTRIAN POWER GERMANY
Everything that have seen in Vienna lately; every
conversation that have held with persons in position
know and understand the popular sentiment every
expression the subject from in civil and military
employment, and the tone Of every sheet published In
Vienna, confirms In the impression that the govern
msnt the army and tho people anxiously look forward
to time, perhaps not far distant, when the compca-
tions arising of the present Of affairs may give
them the opportunity Of rc-esabshng Ausa's former
power in the German part of the European continent
As a well informed gentleman, with whom have had |
long conversation remarked, 'The present position
not tenable. Austria, with eight millions of Ger
mans under her rule cannot suffer herself TO be
completely counted out OF German affairs, civil or
military"
THR STATE OF PUBLIC FEELING.
Tho popular sympathy, in sentiments very openly |
expressed Notwithstanding the present enforcement Of
martial law, plainly delares itself against the terms Of
peace tho Emperor allowed to be forced upon him. |
This may not be very wise under the circumstances
in which he accepted them the conflict could not
have been continued, except with overy chance Of
the greater, perhaps total defeat of the Austrian
army, and the imposai by Prussia OF terms
In comparison with which those offered
are mild indeed. There never army so ready TO
sacrifice It's very existence and that OF every individual
member of II as that of Austria after the battle Of
Sadowa- There not officer In II who would
gladly have gone out again with the almost certainty
OF defeat Of death lone cannot dshonorI for the
purpose Of having lone slap at the Prussans;
and II Is fortunate that there wiser heads In the
direction Of affairs than In the execution Of them, else
the extinction by Prussan needle guns Of noble and
devoted army have been the result Of tho rash de-
termination try the Goddess Of Luck and
s'cold steel" The gentleman who received In Vienna
the dispatches from tho front during the battle Of Sa
dowa informed that up to 2:3o, and three p NJ
that day. the only messages received such short
kilograms the following :-"Al goes we'll" "Our ar
tiery behaving splendidly and overpower that Of
the Prussans whenever brought to bear on IT, or
Thc greatest enthusiasm prevails, the army feel the
day s ours" or, "rhe whole OF left Is advancing
and driving back the enemy handsomely" When sud-
denly, without any previous message to denote change
OF affairs the following received: "Hcavy cannon
aiding distinctly heard in rear, flank turned
wo are iosti" such indeed, the fact Sadowa
10 nearly won rrcrievably lost and the House Of
Hapsburs humbled to the dust.
As have already stated all the people composing the
present Austrian empire, II M loggerheads with each
other united In the hope Of day avengng their
late defeats Tho feeling is unanimous that the peace
expected shortly to be signed only be temporary
peace the past campaigns heavy they were
European military drama yet enacted on this
tinent
FOUNDATION HOPES
II Ia curious to note the avidy with which the Aus.
rans seize any slight indication of foreign Intervention,
or disscnson among the great Powers II amusing
watch the effect produced on the receipt Of the news
OF the French demands for concessions, and laughabe
to note the heightened visages at the intelligence that
although Prussia had notified the French Emperor Of her
demands. the Emperor had calmly received the nteli
gcnce and stated that on no account would the entente
cordi1ie" existing between tho two nations bc inter
rupted Nevertheless Austria has not yet given up the
ghost may some day, with the aid OF Rcmingons,
Spenccrs other rifle show that her material Tor
an army good as any existing In Europe.

great difficulty thus tar encountered has been the
