would DO question Of legs and steam whether they
tho Prussians should 0rst get into the capital or

Prussian and the Austrian froutie and the advantages

NH, IN Vienna on Monday morning. when wa bees
iat the Russians had occupied Dresden; and as from
that time 10 this not word has been published not
syllable breathed here reference the movement Of
abe Austrian troops, entirely in the dark ss
though We were ''corked up in bottle" 10 what s
Aastras plan Of campaign what the Austrian troops
are doing That Austria In the matter Of the occupa
hon OF Dresden, has been taken by surprise, or
That the -four hundred thousand stretched aiong
abe Hilesan and Saxon frontier from cracow to Eyer
arc rcmainng calm and inactive spectators OF what is
RAISING, Of believe or course Austria
has plan Of campaign aod that plan undoubtedly en-
braced the occupation Of saxony by the Prussan army
and informed upon good authority FOR the past
shroe months the general OF conversation in ofcia,
CIRCLES has led the opinion Austria had no intcn
fon OF making saxony tho battle ground Here now il
Is believed that the plan Of Austria permit Prussia
continue scattering her forces the immense line
extending from the borders Of Poland the Rhine
and occupying military points in detail while her
irstcd armies lcsvng only enough in tho mountain
deaes OF Bohemia and Morava and along tho Saxon
frontier prevent invasion Of Austrian territory will
make bold push the plains Of sesia for Berlin
there dictate peace TO Prussia Speculation Just
present on this point useless the few days viii
doubtless develop the plan Of Austria
Thus far the progress Of the war presents the most
remarkable anomaly unparalleled in the history OF
and conquest Of Prussia the disturbing power whose
ambition and iuss for territory has brought about
