between italy and Greece lie being worked ont in Vi
emma; union which Austria would then join pro-
tecting power Austria peTceiyes that In its external
policy il can no longer resist the deductions of the
nationality theory and that this theory assures il
advantages, as soon on the one hand it furthers
Hellenic Strivings and Pounds, on the other hand
TONS the Italians and the Greeks which by the pre-
pOnderatng power of its fleet il hOpes to attach to
its interests. At all events the determination has
been come to III Vienna, if not wholly to
turn away from the traditional Hapsburg pol
icy, to make the same available on new
paths and with modern means People saw
that Herr Won Beust then in Dresden expressed his
intention OF astonishing the world by his gratitude
grateful that owing TO the Prussian war the
Austrian state is freed from the transmitted maXims
and rendered able to follow more multifaTOus
course oil action The gratitude of Herr Won Beus must
be the greater" observes the said Correspondence
as without the war he would most assuredly never
have become Austrian Minister" The Core
spondence" goes on TO say that though the Oriental
question seems to assume large dimensions, and
though the change in the Cabinet may be looked on
as waTke symptom, it does not think the question
Will become vital one before the close of the Paris
exhibition.
There can be no doubt that il is greatly in the in
tereSt of Austria to extend and render stable her
power in the countries to the east of her States
But she cannot do this alone and unaided. Without
the alliance of one of the great Western powers she
can hardly he able to effect anything there England
would gain by such an alliance as much as Austria /;
but unfortunately, all faith in Ansrias stability is
just much shaken that no State thinks of en-
teIIng into close relations with her AS long as the
Hungarian question remains unsettled Austria is in
a state of weakness owing to the uncertainty which
necessarily hangs over and around her future.
The HHngarians are difficult to deal with,
because they oppose by mere negation. 1t is
the tactic which imposes most difficulty on
the opposite party. Even Baron Beust finds
it difficult to get with them, and yet he set him
self TO the task with the full intention of making any
concession in order to satisfy them. And this, be-
cause he said, before all the Hungarian question
must be brought to conclusion. Before he can set
about other matters this must be settled Till that
Is done, nothing can be done. And such negatlOn
not only filings difficulties in the way of the oppO
site party, which he does not possibly know how to
put aside but it also does him who practices 1T much
harm, lie condemns himself to stationary position,
and TO ineTtness which brings with it many evils.
And for this it would be very unwlse If the
Germans in the Diets of Prague Moravia Gallcla
&c, TO refrain voting taking an active part
in the political business for which they were called
together. Instead of taking up position founded
on negatOn they should be dOuby active, and exert
and bestir themselves than they had ever done
before. If they vote, they may do so under
protest, as the proceeding from their point OF
view, is unconstitutional at least If carried out as
il no doubt will be. But to sit with folded arms
and leave their opponents the field uncontesed, would
be the most unwise method which could be pursued
spoke above of the relations of Austria with IuI-
key and the Eastern lands. return of the vessels
entering and leaving the port of Trieste shows how
much the commercial intercourse with Turkey has
increased in the last three years In 1852 no Turkish
of $40 tuns burden there In 1866 nine Turkish
steamboats, entered the port. Ii is strange that no
French vessels come TO Trieste. In 1863 767 Austrian
steamers, representing 200 oil tuns, entered there 90
English boats 43 468 tuns; "a Italian vessels 1909
tuns; Dutch, $3.50 tuns; and OF sailing vessels IN
tunnage was 3l2,27q, and Of these ships G,OS were
Austrian.
