modification of the Ministry, comment upon a letter

AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.

REUTERS EXP dESS.
VIENNA, May 15.
It is currently reported here that; Denmark and the
Neutral Powers hiving required that Austria and Prussia
should state their wishes with regard to the Schleswig-
Holstein question, strong efforts are making to come to a
definite understanding with the Cabinet of Berlin. Count
Rechberg is said to be occupied in drawing up the scheme
of a treaty, which it is hoped may be acceptabla to both the
great German Powers. Some notion of the likelihood that
agreement will be found an easy matter may be gathered
from the following extract from to-day's raterland It
seems certain that, whether owing to the Allies or to the
Neutral Powers, no determinate plan for continuing diplo.
thaCc action at the Conference has yet bean laid down.
We hoard this a week ago. Our attention was directed to
the fact that a striking analogy exists between the relations
of Austria with Prussia, and those of England with France.
Just as England vainly endeavours to procure from France
a regularly concocted programme with herself for the Con-
ference, so have all Count Rechberg's efforts to induce
Herr von Bismark to agree upon certain obligatory rules
hitherto entirely failed. The interests of Herr von Bis-
marck in the present position of Europe are thus in some
degree analogous to those of Napoleon Both, at least
agree in wishing to put off as long as possible the decisive
moment when they will have to say the last word, and
display the defined object they have in view. The recent
remonstrances of Austria must, therefore, have placed Herr
von Bismarck in a rather embarrassing position. But it is
not from Vienna only, it is from his immediate followers—
from the ranks of the annexationists—that the demand
arises loudly for his definitely proclaiming the course he
intends to pursue. As far as we are able to learn, the
success of his policy depends upon his perseverance in not
laying down any official programme, in displaying in con-
fidential interviews and despatches the most conciliatory
desires towards settling the quarrel with Denmark—in at
the same time prolonging the provisional state of affairs in
the duchies, while introducing Prussian reforms to the
schools, the Church, the Government, trade, and social
life ; and in thus edging on gradually, as near as possible,
to the end he has in view."
