The deliberations en the first Prussian proposition, re-
garding thejunetissief the Steuerverein with the Zollverein,
hes convinced the undersigned governments that this pro.
position forms no obstacle to the renewal of the tollverein
treaties. The undersigned governments, moreover, declare
themselves ready, under the modifications agreed on in the
late discussions, to accede to this proposition, and embody
it in the new Zollverein trestles (the !undies of which has

he ed, always that t. eun,eceizat risagroemyeanst
regards the commercial relations with Austria.
With reference to the negotiations with Austria, the
Prussian government has, indeed, declared such to be de-
sirable, and has declared its readiness to enter on them ;
but it has referred, as a designation of their basis, only in
general terms to the Wiesbaden protocol of 7th June, 1861.
The undersigned governments regret that they cannot de-
clare themselves satisfied with such reference. Since the
Wiesbaden conference a far more distinct bash for com-
mercial negotiations with Austria has been gained, namely,
the Vienna drafts of treaties, which the undersigned has
submitted, as propositions to the present conferences. The
undersigned governments, therefore, request the Premien
government to declare how far it is reedy to acknowledge
those drafts, and especially the draft of • treaty on customs
and commerce, ss the basis of negotiations with Austria;
and consequently in what form and terms it will accept the
said treaty of customs and commerce.
The undersigned governments participate entirely in the
conviction, not only that the continuance and greatest pos-
sible extension of the Zollvereia is urgently to be desired
fur the true interests of all Germany, but also that the pre-
sent uncertainty on this bead paralyses the activity of com-
mas.* and industry. They have, therefore, 066 a at all
times guided by the consideration that, where moon' views
are to be reconciled in the coarse of negotiation,, it is sot ad-
missible that one of the parties alone rigidly adhere to its
views, and the other parties with 00-ordinate rights shall alone
have to give up theirs ; and they expect an acknowledgement
that they, on their side have neither hitherto nor at
present, raised the first-named peetension. They have not I
hesitated to send plenipotentiaries to the present confer-
ences, nor have objected to the admission of representations
from the Bteuerverin, although Prussia, by designating the
conference as a meeting of the Zollverein, gave them the
right of excluding such representatives till the junction of
the Stenerverein with the Zollverein were concluded,
while the admission of an Austrian plenipotentiary claimed
with equal right, was obstinately refused. They have
further willingly entered into and completed the discussions
on the September treaty before any prospect was given them
of regard being paid to their propositioa for negotiations
with Austria; and, finally, they have new declared tlem-
selves willing conditionally to accept this treaty with those
modifications which have resulted from mutual delibera- I
tions thereon. Under these circumstances the undersigned
governments may be justified in expecting that the Prus-
sian government will readily meet their just mynah,
which are founded on the general interest of Germany ; for
only by mutual compliance can the common desire of pre:
serving and extending the Zollverein be fulfilled.
