the protest of the
French Government against the annexation of the
non-German provinces of Austria :

_
" PARIS, FEB. 23.
" TO M. ANDRE, AMBASSADOR AT DRESDEN.
" I have received the dispatches which you did me
the honour to address to me up to the 11th inst.
" The Government of the Republic had entertained a
hope that its well meant and moderate remonstrance
against the project of an incorporation of all the Austrian
fear that
provinces into the Germanic Confederacy would be_ re-
considered by the Cabinet of Vienna, and by those Ger-
man Governments which were induced to support that
project. The last advices, however, from verfoss quarters.
and the direct communications which 1: have
asr received
f the Confederation
make
ethat under the
been thought .
from the Emperor's Government,
preparations are making to procie;edoa,s
Confederation which
pretence of securing the efficiencyb
against revolutionary intrigues,
in. prO
per to establish,
the treaty of Vienna established
in the place ofh
balance of power in Europe, another,. and different Con-
federation which would effectually overthrow that ba-
lance of power. The Government of the Republic, re-
solved not to consent to such an innovation, thinks it its
duty to declare t ..,
that if such innovation be Ziff effected with-
out its consent, and wituout the consent of the other
Powers which signed the treaty of Vienna, that the Go-
vernment of the Republic would consider this as a flagrant
violation of the treaties. •
~ We declare this beforehand to avoid the responsi-
bility of the danger which such a state of things must
sooner or later, and perhaps sooner than it is believed,
entail upon Europe. At a time when social order is
threatened, We should be deeply grieved to see that
those who are most convinced of the necessity of com-
bining against the danger volunteer to place insur-
mountable obstacles in the way of such a combination,
and to violate the boundaries which international law as
yet opposes to the desperate attempts of the enemies of
order and peace."
