The appointment of Baron Manderstibm as minis-
ter extraordinary to the court of Vienna, which I
communicated to you per telegraph, is one of
the moat important events of this year for Sweden,
as it may fairly be called the hinge on which our
foreign policy will be made to turn. The King can-
not be induced to depart from the neutrality he has
hitherto maintained between the belligerents against
the pre sure from France and England, and in the
lace of the most liberal offers and formal guarantees
of territorial possessions made by those two powers.
Austria having shown unmistakeably that she does
not mean to take an active part in the war, the
Swedish King thinks the time favourable for a closer
rapprochetnent to the cabinet of Vienna.
Baron Manderstrom, who proceeds to the Austrian
capital, has for many years occupied the important
post of Chief Secretary of State for the Department
of Foreign Affairs. The chief object of his mission
is to negotiate at Vienna,if practicable, a sort of offen-
sive and defensive alliance for maintaining an armed
neutrality amongst the powers of central Europe, in-
cluding those of Scandinavia, Italy, and perhaps the
South-west. The idea is by no means new, but cir-
cumstances bad always interfered to prevent and mar
the execution of this notable project.
