THE PEACE PROPOSITIONS.

A letter from Vienna of the sth, in the Constitu-
tionnel, says :—" The most complete accord exists
between the Allies of the 2d Dec. with regard to
the stipulations for future peace. I am happy to
be able to announce to you that the fifth basis,
which, according to some superficial minds,
threatened to become the stumbling-block at the
approaching Conferences at Paris, only served as a
stronger proof of the perfect understanding which
prevails between Austria and the Western Poweit
on all points involving a cases WU. As a con-
clusive proof of this, I may mention that the
Court of Vienna has admitted, without dis-
pute, that in the interpretation cf the fifth
basis is comprised the obligation of not rebuild-
ing the fortifications of Bomarsund, as it was
for the interest of the balance of power in Europe
that the colossus of the north-should not be able
to exercise a too great pressure on Sweden by means
of the Aland Islands. I oven think that .it is the
knowledge of the decision of the Allies of the 2d of
December which prevents Prussia from declaring
more clearly in favour of the policy of the Western
Powers, although it must be admitted that King
Frederick William gave his moral co-operation to
the Austrian propositions presented for the accept-
arce of the Emperor Alexander 11. But while
Austria pledges herself to joins not only morally
but in an active manner in the accomplishment
of- the work carried on by France and England,
the King of Prussia fears being led further than
he might wish, should he once go beyond the
limits of diplomatic support. I have several
times mentioned to you that the Emperor
Alexander 11. did not completely approve of the
conduct adopted by his plenipotentiaries during the
conferences of Vienna. His Majesty would, it is
said, have preferred seeing them adopt a more con-
ciliatory line of conduct in their interpretation of
the third point, for if Prince Gortsohakoff and M.
de Titoff, looking more to the spirit of their instruc-
tions, had admitted the principle of the neutraliza-
tion of the Black sea, peace would have been signed
last year. This explai s why neither of these di-
plomatists has been a anted to represent Russia
at the conferences at aris. The selection of Baron
de Brunow is a most favourable omen, for, from
the very outset of the Eastern complications, the
baron, who was then Russian minister at the Court
of St. James's, used all his efforts to check his go-
vernment on the fatal slope -down which it after-
wards hurried. Count Buol will leave this capital
on the 12th, and reach Paris on the 16th. He
takes with him in addition to the aulic councillors,
Baron Meyseburg and M. de Kletzl, as already
mentioned, M. Buhl, his private secretary, as well
as two other gentlemen, one of them being young
Baron 'Werner, nephew of Baron Werner, Under
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, who
during the absence of Count Buol will di-
rect the business of the Foreign Office. The elder
Werner, who under Prince de Meeternich occupied
an elevated position at the Chancellery of State, is
now as it were the pivot on which it all turns.
The Count Buol is the first to admit the useful co-
operation afforded him by Baron Werner in over-
coming the numerous difficulties which the French
alliance would necessarily meet with in Austria.
No one better than the Count can represent at the
conferences of Paris the real policy of the Emperor
Fraccis Joseph, fur that policy is his own work."
