AUSTRIAN DESPAT9II TO THE PRUSSIAN

GOVIiIINMENT.
BIERLDT, Ann. z.

On the 31st nit. Count Kerolyi, the Austrian
minister in Berlin, delivered to Count von Bia-
march a note, of which the following is said to be a
correct summary
It ham came totke knowledge of the Imperial government
that, In order not to assume the responsibility of having
raised apprehension for the preservation of peace, the
Prussian government has amused the court of Vienna of
harhoorkag hostile intentions, and has even gone so far as
to hint at the eventuality of an armed aggression on the
pert of Austria against Pruada. Although the unfounded
nature of such an aseertion is notorious, and generally re-
cognised throughout Europe, the Austrian government
feels it incumbent upon it to prated against an Madge-
lion in flagrant opposition to the evidence of farts.
The undersigned consequently has been inalmieted to
declare categorically to Count von Bismarck that nothing
could be further removed from the intention' of his Im-
perial Majesty than an offensive action directed against
PRIM'S. Such an intention I. formally precluded by the
feelings of friendship towards the King as well as the Prue.
alan nation of which the Emperor has so often given proof
both by word and deed, but the Emperor moreover does
not forget the duties which Austria and Prussia solemnly
accepted in Miming the German-Federal pad. His
Imperial Maisety for his pert .in itrmagalsiameissirese
place himself in contradiction with the stipulations of.
Article 11. of the Federal pact, which prohibit the mem-
bers of the Confederation from endeavouring to redress
their grievance" by force.
The undersigned, while requesting the President of the
Council to submit the present note to his august sovereign,
is instructed to express the desire that the Prussian
cabinet may repel without ambiguity, and as clearly as the
undersigned has done himself, in the name of his govern-
ment, all suspicion of • wish to violate the peace. By
doing this, the Prussian cabinet would restore that general
confidence in the maintenance of the peace of Germany,
which ought never to have been shaken.
