THE "SECRET TREATY" AN OLD
STORY.

(Troia the In<VprridaTfe• Beige of yealciday.)
All that Lord Palmerston has acknowledged wag
announced by ua more than two years ago, at the very time
of the signature of the treaty, in a despatch from Berlin,
dated the 31st December, 1854, published in our number of
the let of January, 1855, and completed by a letter of our
Berlin correspondent, which appeared in our number of
January 2. The following is a copy of the despatch which

we published :
"The rumour of a treaty between France and Austria, in.
dependent of the Treaty of the 2nd December, and by which
France will guarantee to Austria all her present territorial
pow:aeons, assumes consistency here."
The team. was necessarily more explicit and definite; It
mid :
" As I informed you by telegraphic despatch, the report of
a project of a treaty between Austria and France is now all
but confirmed. This treaty will bare specially for its object
the reciprocal giusrantees of the security of and public order
In Italy. It will amount, in fact, to a guarantee of the Ana.
titan possessions in the Peninsula. Up to this time it ha
been but a rumour circulating widely in political circles.
Nothing is said of special obligations on the part of Austria.
England, which will not figure as a signing power, will,
nevertheless, have approved of the project."
In addition to the above, one of our Paris correspondents
went so fez even as to state that the treaty bore the date:of
the 22nd of December ; another piece of news contained in
the "revelations" of Mr. Disraeli.
