TO THE _NESSELRODE NOTE.

The Frankfort Post Gazette publishes both these
replies to the Nesselrode note of the 29th of June,
as they have been laid before the German Diet.
The following is Count Buol's reply :
" TO COUNT VALENTINE ESTERHAZY, AT ST. PETERSBURG.
" Vienna, July 9.
" Prince Gortsebaloff has communicated to me a
despatch of the Chancellor of the Empire, which con-
tains the reply of the Russian Governinew, to the invi-
tation which we felt bound to address to it concerning
the evacuation of the Danubian Principalities by the
Russian troops. In this reply Russia shows herself
disposed to enterinto negotiations upon the question, with
the view of ascertaining at what precise epoch the eva-
cuation should take place, in case we should be enabled
to offer to her the assurance that she should not be mo-
lested upon the evacuated territory, and that the Powers
should not employ their forces, thus become disposable,
in attacking the shores either of her Asiatic or her
European possessions. The Russian Cabinet justifies
itself by this consideration, that Russia could not volun-
tarily abandon the only position in which, if she took
the offensive, there would he any chance of re-establish-
in, in her favour the equilibrium which, elsewhere espe- I
is destroyed, to her detriment. In a word,
Russia demands that the evacuation of the aforesaid pro-
vinces should be followed by a general suspension of

" We cannot but sincerely regret that the Court of
Russia, in opposition to the remarks which we deemed it our
duty to tender to it, should have thought it'right to attach
to the acceptation of our proposition a condition which
obviously does not depend upon our will. But AR,
under the circumstances, the demand of Russia is not,
in our opinion, without an appearance of equity, and as
his Majesty our august master attaches great value to
the policy of exhausting every possible means to bring
about an understanding, the Imperial Cabinet will exert
itself to utilise this communication with the maritin-,e
Powers, and the more so as, on the whole, it appeals to
us to convey a sincere desire that an arrange►nent should
be concluded.

"In delivering the present communication to Count
Nesselrode, you will not fail to make him clearly under-
stand that, notwithstanding the conciliatory spirit which
inspires us to make this approach to the Cabinets of
London and Paris, we are obliged to maintain, in all its
extent, the demand addre,sed by us to Russia in case
the object proposed by that Court does not obtain from
the maritime Powers the acceptance which we desire.
Have the goodness further to represent that the position
which we have taken on the question dues not permit us
to exercise a direct influence upon the military operations
of those Powers, and that, conseque,itly, ouraction mtn.t
be limited to a recommendation that they ,hould take
it to grave consideration the c.-n,equences which their
decision may produce, and to r6ple,ent to them that all
Governments are equally ca!b,d upon to concur in pacific
eff ,rts, by makin:r every sacrifice compatible with their
honour and with their interests.

"In authorisiog you, AI: le Comte, to communicate
the present despatch to the Chanceitor of the Ewpire, I
remain, &c.,

The following is the text of the Prussian
reply :

" TO M. LE BARON WERTHER, AT ST. PETINISBLIP.G.
"Berlin, July 17.
" You are already acquainted with the last communi-
cation addressed to us by the Cabinet of St. Petersburg,
in reply to my despatch of the 12th of June, in which,
following the orders of the King our august master, I
had supported the demands of Austria, contained in a
despatch addressed to Count Esterhazy, dated the 3d of
the same month. I add, nevertheless, a copy, as w-11 of
the reply made to the Cabinet of Vienna under the form
of a despatch addressed to Prince Gortschakoff, as of
that addressed to Baron de Bud berg, of the latter of
which the Baron had the goodness to allow me to take
a copy.
" Your sojourn at Berlin must, M. le Baron, have
convinced you that the sincere and constant desire of the
Cabinet of the King, notwithstanding the excessive
tension of the situation, to arrive at and to establish a
starting point for ulterior negotiations, has not been de-
viated from in the conscientious and impartial exami-
nation to which we have subjected the declarations of
the Cabinet of St. Petersburg.
" You cannot better discharge, M. le Baron, the im-
portant functions to which the confidence of the King
has called you, than by being made the organ to his
Majesty the Emperor and the Chancellor of the Empire
of the impressions which the last Russian communica-
tion have produced upon our august Sovereign. The
King highly appreciates the spirit of moderation and
conciliation in which they are conceived. His Majesty
appreciates at its real value the sincere desire expressed,
in the terms used by Count Nesselrode, to respect to the
greatest possible extent the wishes and the obligations
of the ancient allies of Russia the same as the interests
which they are inevitably bound to protect.
" Guided by this tranquillising appreciation, the King,
while persisting in the views expressed in my despatch
addressed on the 12th of June to the Baron de Werther,
will rely upon the Russian answer, and will renew his
efforts both at Vienna, and; in spalmon with the Court
of Austria, at London and Paris, in the hope of ar-
riving at some just and. practicable basis for new chances
of re-establishing a mutually good understanding and
peace.

" We do not disguise from ourselves that this is a
mission of extraordinary difficulty.' We should before-
hand consider it impossible, if we did not believe our-
selves authorised to expect from the wisdom and the
loyalty of the Emperor Nicholas that the dispositions
which have dictated the last declarations of his Cabinet
will determine his ulterior attitude, and that, converted
into deeds, the German Powers will consider them as
sufficient guarantees for the safety of the interests the
defence of which is the object of their engagements be-
tween themselves and towards the Cabinets of London
and Paris.
"Bring this despatch, Al. le Baron, to the knowledge
of Count Nesselrode, and receive, :lc.,
