Austria, for her parc, seems a little slow, temporising, and net very muth disposed in acceding to this new expeximent. as she (according to my opinion) has some reasons to believe that Boigrad 1s merely a pretext, and that Rossian diplomicy is yearning for other advan- tages in return for a sacrifice whieh costs nothing to Russia and which she was resolved to make. I tee! sure that in this second Congress Russia will bring mm other affairs more important to herself and more appoying to some of the other Powers, and will t to the utmost to carry her point.

The Vienna earrespondent o paper particularly writes the most absura gossip which was ever beard of. In ender to give yeu aspecimen of thie man’s, style I wil! quote some lines from one of his la®* letters, eenecrning the state of affairs in Hungary. He sys this country is governed entirely by gens @armes; bot the Hungarians prefer their former con dition, in which they were in danger of being daily rebbed by gangs ef highwaymen who infested the country. A Hungarian nobleman told me that he would see his wife murdered, his children taken away from him, and his castle plundered, rather than indicate to the gene d'armes the track of the bandiiti. We may be #o credulons as to be Kieve the report of this Vienna correspondent, but what can or does he prove by it! According to my opinion everybody will say—why, this sei disunt Hengarian nobleman either does not live on the beet terms with kis spouse, and therefore was ani- mated by the desire of seeing her murdered, or he is more of 2 madman than of s nobleman, husband and father. Butt» represent this expression of some fool as the generally prevailing opinion of a people, 1s absurd and ridiculous; it looks like an at tempt by the correspondent to ‘' out fool a fool.” If @he anti-gens d’armes correspondent, who seems to write bis articles from behind the desk of some Viesva counting house, would kave the kindness to toake a trip to those tracts of country where be eou!d not find, for hundreds of miles, a hut or hovel, nor meet a single buman being, except occa sionally a wandering swineherd, horse stealer, or band of gipsies, and such ill-looking and ill-natured people—then this gentleman, I dare sey, would be very glad to bear tae clatter of the horses’ hoofs or of the swords of the so much despised gens d’armes who cross thove wild regions in order ‘to pursue some robber, or to protect travellers. other Eurcpean Comes will meet in Paris in about a week.

Happily, experience abows that before the last decisive moment there is usnal'y a damper put upon martial ardor. We may, therefore, repeat the words of the holy Sospe'. © Par hominis be oluntalis,” which im plain English signifies,“ Peace wil be given to the men who bave the good will not to wage war.” Thus the Germans and Swiss in the United Suates may make their minds easy, and remain in state quo of matasl friendebip as before.
