THE ALLIANCE BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND
PRUSSIA.
VIENNA, JAN. 15.

The official Wiener Zeitung, in its evening edition,
publishes an article on the rejection of the Austro-
Prussian motion affecting Sleswig by the Federal
Diet. It says :—" The motion to occupy Sleswig
virtually in favour of the Prince of Augustenburg
is an overstepping of the territorial jurisdiction of 1,
the German Confederation, which is constitutionally
bound to preserve a mainly defensive character.
"The German Confederation, that important
element for the preservation of peace, would by
this course enter upon the path of aggression and
of dinregard of territorial limits. In order to meet
the consequences of such a proceeding, both the

great Gelolllll Powers, as faithful guardians of the
integrity and highest interests of Germany, must
■ow take it into their own hands to regulate the
relations of Sleswig towards Denmark."

FRAIMFORTON-TIIIMAINE, JAL 15.

In yesterday's sitting of the Federal Diet the
motive of the reservation made by some of the
states, relative to the proposition of Austria and
Prussia, was stated by the representatives of the
former to be that the occupation of Sleawig
was intended to be carried out by Austria and
Prussia in their quality of great European powers
only, and not in execution of a decision of the
Federal Diet. Saxony declared that the troops of
Prowls and Austria could not pass through Hol-
stein to occupy Sleiwig without having obtained
the consent of the Federal Diet, because Holstein is
now under Federal administration.

THE SLESWIG-HOLSTEIN QUESTION.
VIENNA. JAN. 15.

Emperor of Austria on the Sleswig-Holstein ques-
tion is devoid of all foundation.
