THE MISSION OF M. VON DER PFO_RDITIV.

The following letter fro:li a Berlin correspondent in
the Presse may not he uninteresting, strongly bearing
as it does upon the pre.ent mission of M. von der
Pfordten

"The despatch which Conn t Esterhazy delivered to the
Prussian Cabinet on the 27th ult. was brief and well adapted
to an intermystic state of things, inasmuch as it simply
paved the way for more ample communications that would
probably soon follow. The Prussian reply hereto bore
the same character, and merely recapitulated what
had been discussed and arranged with M. von der
Pfordten. Previous to the departure of this Minis-
ter for Vienna, the Prussian Cabinet acquainted him
with the precise contents of this document, in order
that he might be perfectly sure of the basis whereon
he would have to continue his mission at Vienna.
Prussia now cedes to Austria a full claim to federal
military support in all eases in which she might
be molested by Rusia whilst in a defensive position
within the frontiers of the Danubian Principalities, and
requests to be favoured with explanations touching
the means and ways which Austria considers practi-
cable for the eventual recognition of the four points
of guarantee. Prussia, furthermore, desires to be in-
formed in precise and certain terms as to whether Aus-
tria does or does not intend to go beyond these points in
her demands of Russia, and apprises the Imperial Govern-
ment, on the one hand, of the reiterated urgent represen-
tations which Prussia has addressed to the St. Peter?-
, burg Cabinet in favour of the acceptance of the said
points of guarantee, and, on the other, of the demand
which it has likewise addressed to Russia, to the effect
that the Russian military forces in Volhynia and Podo-
lia may be ordered to take up a position which would
not justify the Austrian Government to entertain appre-
hensions and to make complaints, as has at present
been the case."
