PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin of the 22d, in the Augs-
burg Gazette says :—" The last circular of the
A.ustrian Cabinet was not intended to be handed
to the German Cabinets, but bad rather the
character of instructions addressed to the
representatives of Austria, as to the lan-
guage which they were to hold with regard to the
resolution of the Diet of the 26th July. This ex-
plains why it has been said that it had not been
communicated to the Cabinet of Berlin. This latter
Cabinet has replied in the safne manner, by
charging its ambassador at Vienna to make known
to Count Buol the contents of a despatch trans-
mitted to that ambassador. As to the Austrian
despatch the contents Of it are as follows Count
de Buol begins by expressing his satisfaction at the
union which has been arrived at in the Diet as re-
gards form, and attributes that result in the Fede-
ral sentiments which Austria has testified. But as
to the question whether Austria is completely
satisfied with the contents of thb resolution of
the 26th July, the Minister declares that to his
great regret he must reply in the negative. In the
course of the document, Count de Buol observes
that in the last application which it had made, the
Cabinet of Vienna wished to induce the Diet to
formally accept the four points, and that it had re-
lied the more fully on the accomplishment of
that wish, that since the month of December
Ilast the Diet had expressly recognised the four
points as an appropriate basis of peace. To this
the Count adds that in the negotiations between
the German courts the necessity of a union of all
Germany on a well-determined programme was
several times mentioned. Never, therefore, has a.
better opportunity presented itself for the Diet to
come to a decisive resolution with regard to the
divergent interests, by unanimously and energeti-
cally joining in the policy of Austria. Count de
Buol concludes by expressing a hope that the ulte-
rior development of events will determine the mem-
bers of the Diet, in the well-understood interest of
Germany, to also adopt on their side the programme
of the four points, which the allies of the, 2,1 Dec.
still maintain, and on the basis of which Russia
is still disposed to negotiate, and to furnish to Aus-
tria, in the efforts which she may make to enforce
that programme, a support which will not be sim-
ply theoretical."
Toss's Gazette of Berlin gives the following as
the reply of Prussia to the Austrian communica-
tion :—" The Prussian Government has replied to
the circular despatch from the Cabinet of Vienna,
in which the Imperial Government speaks of the
resolution of the Diet of the 26th July, and ex-
presses a hope that Germany will end by guaran-
teeing the four points. This reply has been trans-
mitted to the Prussian Ambassador at Vienna,
and is to be read by him to Count Buol. The
main point of it is the following :—lt is impossible
for the Prussian Government to share in the re-
grets which the resolution of the 26th July causes
to the Cabinet of Vienna ; on the contrary, it is
very glad not to be bound to the four points, con-
sidering the various chances to which they have
been exposed."
