AUSTRIA.
Baron Won Beust's Explanations.

From LIndependance Beige
In circular of Baron Beast, dated Oct 30,
which our Paris correspondent says was COM
mupicated to him, the Chancellor OF the Empire
declares that he spoke before the Military Com
mittee not as a Minister, but simply in his
character OF deputy. The reports of the debates
OF the Committee, which are not taken down by
shorthand writer's, are not generally trust
worthy. Baron BeUst did not by any meaus use
the alarming language attributed to
him. While indicating the useful
ness of the reorganization of the army, he
touched far less upon the aspect of foreign
politics than upon the necessity of demon
strating the soldity of the new internal
organization of Austria. He observed that if
as adopted by Hungary, it would show that
dualism does not exclude the harmony and
union of the. forces of the different parties of
of the Empire. He naturally had to cast a
glance at the situation of Europe; and, while
noting the good relations existing between
Austria and the other powers, he remarked that
in presence OF the a-maments of other countries,
especially those which had no aggression TO
to dispose, II necessary, of sufficient military
resources. Beyond this he said nothing
but what indicated his pacific intentions,
and he declared that peace was necessary for
the interests of Austria. With regard 10 Russia,
Baron Beust merely alluded to his efforts TO
render Austria's relations with that power more
and more friendly; and, If he did not quite
succeed, the fault was not his own, but was in
great part due TO events which preceded his
coming into office. After having stated the
good relations which exist between Italy and
Austria, he sald that If the hostile demonstra-
ton against the Austrian Government in Tyrol
and at Trieste had not been dsavowed as
strongly as lie could have desired, it was i'm.
portant to take into consideration the interpo
sitOn of Italy, which prevented her from acting
as freely in that matter as would be consistent
with the sincerity OF her loyal and pacific inten-
tions.
EnRlishmen and Americans in Dresden
"An American in Dresden" makes known
some singular facts in a Letter to the Times. The
| American colony in that city formed the ma
| ority of the congregation al the English Church.
and contributed largely to its funds, SO that the
church came to be called "the English and
| American Church, Under these circumstances
| the clergyman thought 1t but proper to intro
| duce prayer for the President of the United
| States, after that for the Queen of England aud
| for the King of SaXony. The first time this was
done gentleman interrupted the service with
the exclamation, 81 thought this was an English
Church y On other days persons lett the bnidine
| when the new prayer was read. The clergy
| man adhered to his practice, and considerable
| animosty was reused against him. AT length
| portion of the congregation seeded and con
| irived to obtain authority from the Bishop o
| London for building new church TO be strictly
| "Englishn and, as it seems, high church. Soon
| however, the Americans found their way intC
| the new congregation, and the same thing wa
| enacted, although with different conclusion
| The prayer for the President was introduced
some of the English objected, and the clergy
man gave way. The Times Is confident that
| the Bishop OF London had known the circum
| stances, instead of authorizing new church
| he would have administered severe rebuke L
| such uncbristlan and almost uncivlllzed Jealousy
