VIENxa, August 8, 1866, The long delayed official publication of the preliminaries of poace, made on Saturday last, not from a voluntary dis- position on the part of the Imperial Government to gratify the goneral curiosity and suxiety concerning the subject, but under uwfim\»lm- of an official announcement of the yosult of the Nikolsburg negotiations at Berlin, has failed ' produce any decided feeling of relief in the capital of the Kmpire. The Viennese, and with them the intelligent public throughout the Empire, would have greeted the certainty of an carly peace with heartfelt satisfaction, hed they beon assured that with the end of the war woaid also wome the end of the perverse, roactionary politieal sys- tom, 10 which all the external and internal troubles’ of ‘Ausiria oan be directly traced. They would gladly put up with all the sufferings and humiliations eutailed upon them by the war, if they had but the encouragement of reliable indications that the Government perceived the wsins and errors of its past ways aud was contemplating in lgood faith changes for the better. Tt was hoped that the official promulgation of the terms on which the Prussian <conqueror agreed to take his hand off the throat of the Em- iro would be made the gpcasion on the part of the Impe- ial Government for holding out assurances of liberul weforms in sccordavce with the spint of the age and the ‘wishes of the Austrian peoples, in order to neutralize the Dittorness of past humiliation by the promise of & better future. But this hope was again doomed to disappointment. Not the least symptom is as yet apparent that tbe rulers of the Empire have profited Dy the dire lessous of the last twomonths. On the contrary, new facts, indicating & wiubborn persisteuce in the old pernicious course, have sranspired. Martial law was extenied in advance over the erritory to be evacuated by the Prussiaus under the terms of the armist And, moreover, numerous arrests of Libe wrals ore being made in Hungary. In view of the calami- ous past and the hopeloss future, general distrust and the worst auticipations coutinue to distract the publie here and everywhere ol i the Ewpire. The prospect of an early peace has but insensibly affeeted commerce and industry. At the Bourse, the surcst indicator of the prevailing state of things, utter stagnation of business is the order of the day. None of the natioual interests show the least sign of returning vitality. The tendency toward national bankruptey seems to be even more rapid now than during the war, and a feeling akin to despwir is taking possession »f every reticcting mind. 1 It is the general conviction of the Vienna public that the peace preliminaries assure to Prussia ail she could pos- sibly desire, and that they imply the most disgracctul prostration at the feet of a foreign Power Austria ever sub- mitted to. This publication was not mpanied by au count of the course of the megotiatiovs. = But it ix nown that the lwperial Commissioners failed to obtain Bhe least modification of the conditions first presented by Count Bismark, The Prussian Minister was never bent hipon any acquisition of territory from Austria. His wain :cmnndl were the vnmaking of Austria a German Power; jor unconditional assent to any annexations at the ex{vn" f the minor conquered potentates, north of the Main, gmui- chose to make, and the cession of Venetia to the ing of Ttaly, Upon'these he insisted with his hubitual rusque percinptoriness, and no smount of arguwment and pupplication on the part of the Austrian lenipoteatiaries pould provail_on bim to change a letter of his original mme. Napoleon, after Austerlitz snd Wagram, was ot more exacting and uvyielding. Accordingto common Foport, the Austrian delegates to Nikolsburg were treated with adictatorial haughtinesson the part of King Wilham's Premior that readered s preservation of their foreed equanimity of tewper most difficult. The bumilistions they had to undergo were so deep, that Count Karolyi declined, notwithstanding the urgent request of the Em- nm, to participate in the final nogotiations at Prague, d rotired yesterday to his country-scat in Hungary. Baron Brenner, who secms to have s more elsphantine skin ‘than the proud Hungarion nobleman, is to resume the try- fng task of treating with Count Bismark in the Bohemian ital, 'he Paris papers would fain have the rest of the Enropean | blic beliove that King John of Saxony was saved from the o of the King of Havover, the Elector of Hesse Cassel waud the Duke of Nassan, that is, from the annexation of s dominions by Prussia, only by the intervention in s behalf of the Ewperor of the French. Supposing the Mlleged interference of the latter for the royal house of xony, in remembrance of its faitbfuluess to the first apoleon 1n his worst extremity, to bave actuslly taken filneo. King John has evidently no reason to congratulate imsolf upon the result of the efforts of his French Empe- ¥or. For between the formal absorption of Saxony into the Prussian monarchy, and the absolute military vassal- age to which Kiog William will have & right to reduce his meighbor under the Nikolsburg convention, there is only & wiierence withont a distinction. Ihave the best reason %o beliove that King John, es well as the Prince Royul and tho rest of the Royal fawily, contemplate the latter con- llnrncy vuhmmu{o(-lin.zo(’monifim ion than the former, mnd that the sawe seutiment anim the entire Saxon lrlls_nn' quartered in the suburbs of Vienna. Of course, ithe dispossessed ruler of Suxony, and all that shared bis wariod fortunes since the Prussians overrun his beautiful flittle kingdom, will have to submit eventually to any ar- :lngemcul Prussia may_choose to prescribe to hini avd hem. But they do not deceive themselves as to the real ature of the fute before them, viz.: to become essential- though not formally, Prussiau subjects. s o leading Vienna papers have been indulging for the two days in speculations upon the possibility of the tion of hostilities between Ausiria and the King dom of Italy, Their proguostications of another possille -weference of the issucs between the two Powers to a decis Won of arms are Lased upon the fact, that up to the pre.c. t moment no detinite llnd{'!‘l'flmhl.% has been reached at Cormens by the representatives of the Emperor and F iuz Wictor Emanuel, and that the truce between the bo.tils orces in Southern Tyrol will expire after daybreak on the day alter to-morrow. The cause of the failure to agre mpon terms for a month's armistice, as stated by the somi-official press, is that the plenipotentiary of Italy in- wists, after the fashion of Count Bismark, upon maxin positive conditions of peace the basis of the contemplate: wrmistice, which proposition the representative of the Emperor is instrueted to decline. The objeet of Italy is stated to be to require, in addition to the cession of Ve- metia, & posscssory right to the Iialian portion of fMyrol and certain frontier districts of Hlyria, mow occupied by her troops, with a view to their final acquisition under a future treaty of peace. But wha's ‘ever the character of the hitch to which the negotiations st Cormens bave no doubt come may be, I amn sble to ‘state, that in the best informed diplomatic circles no ap- i)mhennon is folt of another resort to arws by Austria rnd taly. The Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs him elf 4s confidentof & peaceful solution of the pending gues Mion.

According to tho reports of their move- ments that reach us through the provincial papers, they do ot march as expeditiously away from as they advanced upon Vienna after the battle of Kbni nity nitz.

Tho Prussian commanders ap- L»e r to display upon their return march the samo exact nowledge of the charactor aud resources of tho country that surprised their adversaries so much during their wdvance. They lead their troops not over the already ! gr-wled roads, to the right and left of which the country | is devastated for miles, but along now :outes, herotofore untouched, end juto desirable cantonments on | tho other side of the liue of demarkation. Thus we hear of the appearance of & whole Prussian corps in & most fertile region of Austrian Silesia that had until now es- caped the ravages of war. The disposition of the Prus- @an armies dunng the armistico, ditected by supremo command, scoms to be to keep the various massed at a few important pointa, instead of scattering them in small bodies over the whole nwurhd territory. They are thus kopt well in hand and capable of ready concontration for the final movement beyond Austrian territory, which will 1.0 doubt take place before the end of the present month. With the gralual fulling back of the Prussiana from theline of the Danube, communication between the capital and tho interior of Bohemia and Moravia, from wi:ich we have been secluded for noarly a month, as though by a Chinese wall, £+ Decoming reopened. . The reéatablishment. of postal facilities within the last fow days has brought to the Vienna pressa perfect flood of volunteer correspondence, giving aecounts of the experience of numerous localities under Prussiau military rule. They are all roplote with bitter compleints of the unsparing vigor with which tho invaders levied contributions for the support of themselves. Tales of cruel personal treatment and utter ruin or impovorish- ment for vears are told in_nearly all of them. "It sooms well established that the Prussian commanders weut too | far in their oxactioxs of articles. such as winos and cigars, not absolutely necessary for the sustonance of their troops, and that there was considorable ruffianism displayed b the worst elements of the latter. But, on the other lum{. it is equally true, that tho Prussian Gienorals had to choose, owing to tho precatiousness of their supplies from homo depots, betweon taking what they could find of means of } support on the lines of march fo the Danubs and tho failure of the main objcct of thelr campaign, viz.: an early | ’wam, by unremitting pursuit of aud continnous offensivo blows against theireueiny. They choso the formor, and no impartial judge will blame them for it. They did no more than Gen. Sherman on his march to the soa and along the Atlantic const.

It appears that the irregular, insufficient and unacc med | diet upon which the Prussian soldiers, so entirely unipured | to the bardships of active campaigning, had to austain i themselves for weeks, and especially the immoderate use of ha)fripe fruit, resulted in the ovelopment of this awful scourge of humenity, in epidemic form, in tho | ficld hospitals.
