ing signatory Powers of the Treaty of Vienna are,
in his view, to be excluded from all ulterior share
in accepting or ratifying the results of the restricted
Conference.

St. Petersburg and consign the common

nretsolutions
adopted in the form of protocols, or of aea
in any other shape considered desirable. The basis
or
of the proposed discussion would be the six pot ti: n
which contain nothing in principle contrary to the
policy of the Emperor. France and England would
be enabled by an efficid communication of the acts
resulting from the deliberation cf the restricted
conference, which would contain the practical adap-
tation of the six points, to appreciate the confor-
mity of those acts with the spirit and text of the
Treaty of Vienna.'

" No. 2.
COUNT RECIIBERG TO COUNT APPONTl.—(COM-
municated to Earl Russell by Count Apponyi,
July 24.)
" Vienna, July 19.

" M. le Comte,—Prince Gortschakoff's despatch
to M. de Balabine touches on three points which
especially concern Austria, and on which the Im-
perial Government must declare itself categorically
before coming to an understanding with the Go-
vernments of England and France, on the attitude
to be assumed by the three Powers in consequence
of the Russian answers.

" I will not inquire whether Prince Gortschakoff
was guided by a secret purpose when he wrote the
three passages in question. I confine myself to
asserting that they tend to throw a false light on
the intentions of Austria, and to place her in a posi-
tion which she cannot accept.
"The three passages of the Russian despatch which
require to be at once contested are the following :
" 1. That in which Prince Gortshakoff cretends
that our despatch of the 18th of June anticipates,
and, so to speak, approves, beforehand the refusal
of Russia to adhere to a Conference.
"' 2. That in which a sort of assimilation is estab-

lished between the Polish Provinces of the Empire
of Austria and the country generally designated by
the name of the Kingdom of Poland.
"' 3. Lastly, that in which the Russian Govern-
ment proposes to come to an understanding with
Austria and Prussia, in order to settle the condition
of their respective Polish subjects.'
" I invite your excellency to explain yourself
very clearly on these three points to Lord Russell,
so as to leave no doubt as to the sentiments of the
Imperial Government.
" As to the Conference, our despatch of the 18th
of June to Count Thun simply asserts an evident
fact by leaving it to be understood that its meeting
depends on the participation of Russia. It is clear,
in fact, that we could not negotiate in Conference
with Russia if that Power were to refuse to do so.
But it does not follow that such a refusal would
have our approval. On the contrary, the proposal
of a Conference, in our opinion, might perfectly be
accepted by the Russian Government. We have,
moreover, already instructed Count Thun by a tele-
gram to express himself in this sense, and to rectify
this erroneous interpretation of our despatch.

" With regard to the similarity between Galicia
and the Kingdom of Poland, we must categorically
reject any insinuation of the kind.
" Lastly, with respect to the form of agreement
proposed by Russia, we have also already declared at
St. Petersburg that the concert established between

the three Cabinets of Vienna, London, and Paris
constitutes a connection between them, from which
Austria cannot now disengage herself in order to
negotiate separately with Russia.
" Your Excellency may read this despatch to
Lord Russell. Receive, &c.,
" RECIIBERG."
