AUSTRIA AND THE PRINCIPLE OP NATIONALITIES.
—The Botadafter, • miaisterial journal of Vienna, makes
the following remarks on the rejection of the principle of
natimalities in the recent negotiations:—"We sincerely
rejoice that right, and right close, has definitively heroine
the basis of the solution of the Sleswig-Holatein Rotation,
and that the cooks of the kitchen of nationalities have '
been deprived of the opportunity of preparing their stew.
This issue is especially advantageous for Austria, as it
saves her from the danger of having created by her own
arms a precedent injurious to her interests. Right has
realised for Germany a success which the principle of ne-
Minudities could not procure. That principle would at moat
have gives Germany a moiety of Blom*, whereas right
gives her the whole. Lot us hope that the champions of
the principle of nationalities will hold their peace in pre-
sence of this 5U031111.1, and that they will learn to set the
principle of right above say other. As matters now stand,
right has gained an i.uportant victory in the north of Se-
rape, whilst the principle of rationalities has fettered a de-
cisive defeat. Re Austrians have good reasons to rejoice
both at the victory and over the defeat."
