AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.

The Botschaf ter publishes the following article
respecting the visit of the Prince Royal of Prussia
to Vienna :
"We are allowed to infer, despite a certain coolness be-
tween Prussia and Austria, which, especially recently, has
manifested itself in a by no means edifying manner, that
the relations between the two great German Powers have
not undergone much change. It would have been easy
for the Royal couple to return from Italy through
the Tyrol, and thus avoid the capital; the

odest edifice where our Chamber

of Deputies holds its sittings. Constructed, it is true, of
simple wood, it is, nevertheless, infinitely preferable in
every respect to that sombre hall where the representatives
of the Prussian people have to deliberate, and many things
have been discussed and decreed therein which do honour
to our young constitutionalism.

"In expressing this wish we do not presume to say in
any manner that the Prince Royal of Prussia should admire
our condition ; we are free from all presumption of wishing
to draw a parallel between Prussia of to-day and Austria as
she is. But we should like the young Prince who will one
day be called upon to rule the destinies of Prussia to con'
vince himself that the existence of a real constitutional life
of the most flourishing character does not in the slightest
degree affect the rights of the Crown, and tends to consoli-
date and strengthen Austria at home.

" Prussia is, at the present moment, threatened by a
double danger; her internal development has been stopped
and for a long time paralysed by the present reactionary
Cabinet,and the greatest uncertaintylooms over her foreign.
policy.

" We think that a glance at the present condition of Aus-
tria may be of some use to the future ruler of Prussia. The
path which Prussia will have to follow, if she wishes to
prosper, depends upon Austria. A parliamentary systera
strong and sincere at home, and the most intimate alliance
with Austria and Germany outside—such is the path traced
out for her. At home, Prussia must become liberal, so
as not to remain behind Austria ; abroad, her policy must
be strictly conservative, unless she wishes to be shipwrecked
for ever. No one pretends that Prussia should be suborc2i:•
nate, but still less should Austria be so, and above all things
not allow herself to be displaced from the position which
she holds in Germany; this is a fact well worth the con-
sideration of the future Sovereign of Prussia. Once penc-
trated with this conviction, which is shared by the ire"
mense majority of the German nation, we shall not have to
fear either a violent rupture or a sanguinary solution of ale
question of German unity."

A letter from Vienna of the 17th inst. says
Yesterday the Prince Royal of Prussia received the
Diplomatic Corps. His Royal Highness, accorApanied by
the Emperor, passed a portion of the garrisrin in review•
The Prince wore the uniform of an Austrian Colonel. The
august guests of the Emperor leave to-morrow for Breslau.''
