Prince Gortschakoff, in his reply to the Austrian
note on the Polish question, says :
"Count Rechberg was light, as events have
shown, in anticipating that the Emperor Alexander
would be disposed to show clemency to the Poles on
the dispersion of the insurrectionary bands. Count
Rechberg will, however, perceive that a return to
order does not depend upon interior measures
alone.

"The intrigues of the foreign revolutionary party
are the main source of the agitation, and the
influence of the great Powers would therefore be
beet exercised if directed against those intrigues.
Prince Gortechakoff doubts not that Austria will
neglect nothing in order to put a stop to the machi.
