at the expense of a p trtion of her It than territory, while
the two empire. are to support the htediterr,nean policy
of Italy. Some of the Hungarian PePer• dectete that the
rumoured reconstruction of Poland under • Sax an dynasty
is poesible, and that the compensation to Austria for
Gilicia will be Istacodonia and • pr itecturate over the
Greek, Albanian, and Balkan populations, with Prince
Bnniarck's consent, if CJuot Andress), accept, Bayou
