An order ‘was issued not long since, and the Sardinian soldiers were not required to salute the officers of the volunteers. About a week ago a Sardinian officer was passing a guard belonging to the yolunteers, stationed at Caserta, where there are troops of both arms of the service, and the guard refased to give the usual salute. Great was the amotio eneel by this insult of a volunteer to a regu- Jar officer. But the Garibaldian took it very coolly, say ing that he was not under the Sardinian regulations—tha he was a volunteer under Garibaldi—that his officers were not saluted by the Sardinian soldiers, and that he should not salute the Sardinian officers, As each party deemed they had cause of complaint, much excitement ensued. which enly tended to increase the difficulty and widen the breach between the two brauches of the army. ‘The volunteer guard, however, was not arrested, and the affair was settied by an order declaring thet the sar- dinians should not enter the quarters W! the Garibal- diaps were stationed.

The British stateemen are fully aware . the only possible way to effet this is by prevailing mpon Austria to give up Venice to Sardinia ‘for a con- jon ;”’ but as this is extremely delicate ground to tread on it will be necessary to observe great caution in the subject, aa the least precipitation or inad- Vertence might cause a split between the two Cabinets at ‘the very outset. The Emperor of Austria imagines bis honor involved in maintaining his hold upon ‘Venetia, and the moet distant allusion to the possibility of abandoning that province throws him into such paroxysms of rage that no one ven- tures to mention it in his presence. It will be seen, therefore, that it will require the utmost tact and circum. spection on the part of Lord Bioomfletd to conduct so dim. cult a negotiation; and even if he possessed the dipto- matic abilities of a Talleyrand, it is the opinion of per- sone well acquainted with the Court of Vienna that he has no proepect of success so long aa Francis Joseph re- mains on the throne. There are whispers abroad, however, that creat chances may be expected ero long ju the government of Austria, ‘and that ag it was a popular revolution that transferred the sceptre from Ferdinand I. to his nephew, s similar ca- tostrophe may terminate a reign that has proved ao cala- mitous to the empire. The headstrong pazsions of the young King, and the imbecitity of his advisers, have brought Austria to the verge of ruin; the whole monarchy is ina state of dissolution, and his own family are said to have arrived at the conclusion that the only chance of saving the house of Hapsburg from the fate of the Neapolitan Bourbons is by the abdication or removal of its present chief. Recent events, ton, have proved toa demonstration that the union of so many heterogeneous nationalities un- der one head is rather a somrce of weakness than of Strength, and the question bas been raised whether it woul! pot be mnore advantageous to the dynasty itself to divide the empire into two portions, each under a sepa rate ruler. but clovely connected by family ties and pold- tical interests. something like the Roman empire under the svecessors of Constamtine.

They know very well that Germany, or, properly speaking, Ausiris, did not “annex” Venice till the year 1797,’and that far trom this anpexation contributing to her safety, it’ was only subsequent to it that Germany was exposed to iuvasion in that quarter, which had’ uever ed during the thousand years of the existence of Venice ag an independent republic, The Sea Oybele formed a barrier between France and Austria, which the latter wantonly and periidiously broke down, and she was rewarded by seeing French armies penetrate three times: across it to the very gates of Vienna (in 1900, 1506, and 1800). ‘The Cabinet of Berlin cannot be ignorant that the jogs of Venice would be a gain to Austria, especially if ac- companied by a pecuniary indemnity which might enable her to slave unkruptey that is otherwise iu- evitable; but neither are they ignorant that the ‘rst use she would make of her improved im would be to recognise her influence in y, which has suffered materially of tate from the desperate con- dition to which she was reduced, and which forced the smaller States to turn, very much against their will, to Prussia for protection. It follows, as a matter of course, that the realization of the scheme to which I have just alluded would be particulariy disagreeable to this country. Au Emperor of Germany, established at Vienna, and clear of his damaging connections with Ita lians, Sclavonians and Magyars, would be the most for- midable rival that Prussia has ever had to contend with; he would not only have the Princes on his side, but by pursuing a liberal policy might ensily gain over the pole. Who are disgusted with the tergiveraations of the ussian government, and in a short time the monarchy { Frederick the Great would find itself shorn of its reduced to a mere satellite of the new px But without referring to contingencies of 80 problemi a ature, it is evident from the above that if the Cubinet of Berlin are rather inclined to en courage Francis Joseph in clinging obstinately to Ven than to use their infuence with hin ia efveLing a compromise, it is not so much from aay love of Ausiria as from considerations intimately connected with the political standing of Prussia. 1 am not speaking of the Prines Regent personally, who #6 a¢ tuated by a sincere regard sor the poor you Austria and ® superstitions dread of rev makes bim look upon the cession of Venice, f reason than because the people are istled w rulers, a8 a precedent dangerous to the principles narchy, but of his ministers, and more especially o! Baron Schieinitz, who-is a politician of the old setioal not 80 much guided by abstract Lueories as by me practical expedicney. ‘The excitement oceasioned by the Stieber affair has net yet subsided, The higher authorities are exeessively am- hoyed at it, and they have shown their displeasure by removing the Attorney General, M. Schwack, from ofliee, for his inexcusable ‘indiscretion in exposing the iile- galitics committed by the police with the approbation of the late and the ‘counivance of the present govern ment. This ill-advised step has incensed the general government to such a degree that ministers who had at iirst assumed Ligh tone have been obliged t make a sort of apology iu the official Prussian 6 und to promise a full and impartial investigation of the abuses attributed to their subordinates. The pubiie, howover, have not much faith in their itapartiality, and it is thonght that this scandalous business will be brought ‘before the Chambers, who meet in January, aud who are already in au {li humer with government for violating the pledges given to the Legislature in reference to the reorganization of the army. It is hardly probable that the Minister of Justice, M. Simons, will venture to face them, nothwithstanding the eflroptery by which he is 30 eminently distinguished, and which has hitherto rea- dered hit impervious toull attacks. If he should retire. it would be quite ss well if his example were followed by Count Schwerin, the Minister of the Interior, who has sadly disappointed the hopes excited by his liberal aute- cedents, and seems to have no other desire than to coa- ciliate the feudal party, and to favor them in every maa. ner at the expense of his former frieuds. It is high time for the Anerswald ministry to come to their senses, and to understand that at « moment when Austria, the very in- carnation of immobility, is foreed to make the largest concessions to the spirit of the age. and when even the French autocrat is slacking the reim that has so long curbed the free action of his people, it will not do for them to. inte despot: Ove of the oldest and most induential members of the Berlin press, M.
