AUSTRIA.

Baron de Protesch-Osten, who was the colleague
of Count Buol in the Vienna conferences, has drawn
up a memorandum in which he explains the situa-
tion of the various powers with respect to the Euro-
' peso crisis.
Under date May 14 Count Buol has addressed the
Austrian Plenipotentiaries at German courts to the
following effect:
The decision of the British government to present to per-
liaises% the protocols of the Vienna conferences, makes
Wake the negotiations for peace at a moment whoa thrry
smut be regarded as termisated.
At the end of the protocol of the twelfth sitting of the
conference, Austria declared that she did not regard Leery
means exhausted to bring the negotiations upon the third
point to • solution, and that she regarded it as her special
mission to end to dissever the means for effecting •
common agreement.
The Plenipotentiaries of France and Ragland, on their
pert, it is true, declared that their instructions were ex-
hausted, but did not declare the negotiations terminated,
and when later, by protocol No. 13, the rejection of •
proposal enmities from Russia was stated, Austria re-
solved to recommend confidentially to the serious considera-
tion of the courts of Paris and of London new propositions,
in which she thought to fled a loyal and complete fulfilment
of the third point of guarantee, and which his Msjesty the
Emperor, our august master, deems proper to be presented
to the St. Petersburg cabiaet as an trifinentwes. The last
protocols of the conference left the negotiations still pend-
ing, and the Austrian eabinet, for its part, would have he.
*hated at leaving that reserve which the ease commanded,
and which in the interest of an object so important for all
it had imposed upon itself. The notification made in the
British parliament of Vie publication of the protocols made
it incumbent upon u to have them published likewise,
so as to bring them to the knowledge of the Governments of
Germany, and you an mauled to present the accompany-
ing documents, with • copy of this letter, to the Govern-
ment to which you are accredited. As we mike this com-
munication before the result of the still pending negotia-
tions can be stated, we can only do so with that reserve
whieh the attainment of the object commands. As yet we
do not express any opinion upon the situation of affairs.
Shortly, however, we may be in a condition to explain our
views fully to the Diet—views upon which the reply of the
Cabinets of Paris and of London to the proposals alluded to
above cannot Gil to exercise some influents.
