(From the London Chronicle, July 14.) A change bas taken place, within the last few the military and in the political ion of affairs. Bome weeks since, the Austrian vernment concluded a couvention with Turkey for the immediate o-capation of the principalities; and it was belicved that the division under Conant Coronini, whose bead-quartera had been fixed at Oracva, bad received orders to march, without fur- py ech the tara cea Rossian party at Berlin, ever, succeed presenting an stacie to the immediate execution of the plans wnich bad been formed. The Prussian wnment com- d that, after the union established between two great German Powérs, Austria had singly tt aatep which might probably lead to hosti ties; and it was urged that the contingent oy OF protecting tho imperial territory. from invasion, r from inv: ” entitled it to remonstrate ag: po | fresh pro vocation to Russia. It seems hinte aod menaces of thin kind have bad the effoct of checking the intended movement of the Austriun ey ed the left bank of the Danube, and that the Turks and their,Western allies must, for the present, be contented to bear the whole brunt of the war. It is not likely, however, that the enemy w5ll eventually derive any substantia) benefit frem the intervention of his devoted adherent. There can be little doubt that an ultimatum bas at lat been forwarded by Austria to St. Petersbarg ; ard in the meanwhile a semi-nentral oc:upation o the Danubian provinces has been effectuully pre sented. When the Austrian troops finally march, they will no longer be to affect friend), intentions towards the invader whom it will be the’ conventional pretext of anarchy, assumed to be im- ie in ceaeite, He pot secioualy pet Srwas of ; but the ministerial mani. festo concludes with s really int otraight- forward remark.

There is reason to believe that Oount Pas kiewitsch, had, in fact, resolved on the move neate which were generally anticipsted; for after the rals- ing of the siege of Ritistria, the invaders recrossed the Danube, and ergo bodies of troops which had been cenpeiched to Wallachia were ordered to re- verse thelr march, for the parpose of strengthening the line of cefence in Moldavia. Those who now accuse Austria of betraying the common eause her slowness iu advancing, were then alarmed, with much more +how of reason, at which seemed to indicate prje ts of the determination to commence s defensive paign.
