THE AUSTRIAN AND PRUSSIAN

TABATY.

,
The following is a translation of the additional article
to the treaty between Austria and Prussia, dated April
20, 1854 :
" According to the conditions of Article 11. of the treaty
concluded this day between his Imperial Majesty the Em-
peror of Austria and his Majesty the King of Prussia for
the establishment of an offensive and defensive alliance, a
more intimate understanding with respect to the eventua-
lity when an active advance of one of the high contracting
parties may impose on the other the obligation of a mutual
protection of the territory of both, was to form the subject
of a special agreement to be considered as an integral part
of the treaty.
"Their Majesties have not been able to divest them-
selves of the consideration that the indefinite continuance
of the occupation of the territories on the Lower Danube,
under the sovereignty of the Ottoman Porte, by Imperial
Russian troops, would endanger the political, moral, and
material interests of the whole German Confederation, as
also of their own States, and the more so in proportion as
Russia extends her warlike operations on Turkish ter-
ritory.
" The Courts of Austria and Prussia are united in the de
sire to avoid every participation in the war which has
broken out between Russia on the one band, and Turkey,
France, and Great Britain on the other, and at the same
time to contribute to the restoration of general peace. They
more especially consider the declarations lately made at
Berlin by the Court of. St. Petersburg to been important
element of pacification, the failure of the practical in-
fluence of which they would view with regret. According 7
to these declarations, Russia appears to regard the original
motive for the occupation of the Principalities as removed
by the concessions now granted to the Christian subjects
of the Porte, which offer the prospect of realization. They
therefore hope that the replies awaited from the Cabinet
of Russia to the Prussian propositions transmitted on the
Stfi will offer to them the necessary guarantee for an early
withdrawal of the Russian troops. In the event that this
hope should be illusory, the Plenipotentiaries named, on
the part of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, Freiherr
Baron von Hess and Count Thun, and on the part of his
Majesty, the King of Prussia, Boron Mantenffell, have
drawn Up the following more detailed agreamept with re-
spect to the eventuality alluded to in the above,-,mentioned

A. few minutes before 12 the Price-Chancellor en-
tered, marshalled in , by, the Esquire Bedells, and
attended by the •Vice-Chancellor the President of the
Institute, the Rev. the Master of Trinity College, Pro-
fessor Sedgwiek, and one or two other eminent mem-
bers of the'TJniversity.
The PRESIDENT„ (addres,sing his Royal Highness) ez-
plaiikiio him that the learned Master of Canis College
(Dr.' Guest) was celebrated for the attention he has be-
stoited, and the light his researches had thrown on the
remains of the Romans and Saxons in this country. Re
was sure that the learning and the archological lore
with which the learned' master would illustrate and em-
belii,l his subject would make it most attractive to all
who had the pleasure of hearing him. '
Dr. GUEST -then proposed to lay down a theory which
he 'had formed about the " Great' Boundary Dykes of
Cambridgeshire "=namely, that they were tne work of
the Belgic tribe, who invaded this part of the country,
and got possession of it after landing upon the coast of
Kent, and made a century. and a half before the invasion
of the Romans, and for the purPoiie of dividing the dis-
trict in which they were discovered.
When the doctor had finished his arguments.
The PRESIDENT proposed a vote of thanks to him, and
seized the occasion to express the gratification which
they all felt at the visit of his Royal Highness, whose
noble influence, he said, was felt in the advancement of
the fine and industrial arts, and all that tended to raise
the position of the people of the country.
The vote was carried by acclamation, and the Presi-
dent then resigned his place to Dr. Whewell, toe chair-
man of the architectural section, who then declared the
same to be open, and called upon Professor Willis to
read a paper "On the Buildings of the University?'
When this paper bad been read, another vote of
thanks was proposed by the Master of Trinity, who also
addressed Prince Albert, and welcomed 'him amongst
them,
