important and interesting hereafter for not having
been blazoned forth to the world in haste.
It by no means follows, indeed, that any
settled plan has been determined upon,
notwithstanding the eagerness with which some
would make out that an attempt has been made and
resulted in failure. What is more likely is that a
good understanding prevails between these poten-
tates, and they have made up their minds, in the
event of certain contingencies arising, to act with
spirit and promptitude. Under existing circum-
stances it would be difficult, if not impossible,
to decide as to what their future course
must be, and the tactics of Prussia are so shifting
that it would be presumptuous to fix anything
with certainty that depended for fulfilment upon
her policy. We may draw one conclusion from all
the fuss and ferment that has been made—that
things are anything but straight in the councils of
Berlin. If all was as smooth as they would have
us believe, why is all this outcry raised at
the meeting of the Emperors ?—why arc such
pains taken to show that nothing has come of the
affair ? Did confidence reign in these quarters
where it is proclaimed to exist, no notice but a
casual one would be made of the affair ; but the
great effort that is made to appear indifferent
betrays itself, and shows a hidden motive for
anxiety. The eagerness with which the Prussian
Press put forward their information is almost
amusing, and is a sure proof of the feeling which
dictates it. The New Prussian Gazette declares that
it learns from a " reliable source " that there has
been no understanding come to at Salzburg as to the
formation of a South German Confederation under
the auspices of Austria. It is added in a sonorous
style that any understanding between France and
Austria might be accounted for, but that it was
more hard to comprehend how " German princes
could again try to dismember the Fatherland,
and to lead foreign Powers into the very heart of
our national aspitations." Of course Count Bis-
MARCK must look with great doubt and suspicion
upon all these goings on, and has throughout used
all his influence to decry the importance of the
Salzburg affair. Some of the French papers seem
uncertain what to say upon the matter, but
they lay great stress upon the excitement caused
by the publication of the telegram about
the due execution of the Treaty of Prague. It is
considered that if it was genuine, the peace of
Europe might be endangered; but at any rate the
notion of its truth shows an " indirect defiance" to
Prussia, likely to exasperate some and interest
others. Notwithstanding all that is inferred and
hinted at concerning the dislike which every part
of Germany entertains to foreign interference, we
suspect that a very different tale would be told
if war really broke out. It is all very fine to argue
in the abstract, but the constant encroachments of
Prussia are far worse than the infringement of the
laws virtually laid down about accepting no help
and agreeing to no dictation from Soveteigns. It
may be that the day is not far distant when the
Germans will be only too glad to accept the
assistance of the vigorous ruler of the French,
and to have the interposition of the very
men whose counsels they now appear to
despise. The French EMPEROR gave an audience
to Herr SCHINDLER, a member of the Lower
House of the Reichsratb, and conversed with him
for some time upon the affairs of Austria. The
EMPEROR and EMPRESS also received the authorities,
and in reply to the address of the Burgomaster the
Emperor NAPOLEON answered in German,
though he confessed that so • long a
period had elapsed since 11;.s sojourn in that
land that he had nearly forgotten the
language. After alluding to the friendly reception
he had met, with he declared that he had come to
offer condolence to the Emperor of AUSTRIA for the
sad death of his brother. We may consider, in taking
a final resume of this meeting at SalzbUrg, that
peace is not thereby endangered, but, on the con-
trary, that its chances are more secure if
the Berlin Government appreciate the matter
rightly. A great deal may be done without
having recourse to war, and if Count BISMARCK
arrives at the conclusion that the Emperor NAPO-

The terrible calamity of Orissa was of a nature
and extent that could hardly fail, when its details
became known in this country, to produce a pro-
found sensation. Under any circumstances, the
death of 750,000 persons from actual want of the
necessaries of life would be an appalling event, and
when it occurs in a province under British rule,
without due efforts being made to relieve the vast
aggregate of suffering by the officials, an English
public may well feel bound to inquire again and
again into the melancholy particulars. The recent
debate in the buss of Commons has called forth
an active correspondence, but the majority of the
writers are unanimous in condemning the incapacity
and indifference of the officials. In the first place,
it was impossible to convince them that a famine.
was coming ; in the second place, it was equally im;
possible to rouse them to action when the famine
had come. The failure of the crops was to them
an empty sound, and the very circumstance on which
they founded their security—the export of 30,000
tons of rice annually from Orissa—should, in fact,
have awakened their alarm. As a writer on the
subject very reasonably contends, so small an
annual export of food from a province producing
nothing else, at a time of unprecedented high prices,
showed that there was no reserve in the country.
When it was known that the crop of 1865 was a
failure no one seemed able to realise what it meant.
The most impassioned warnings were in vain. It
now appears that so far back as December,
1865, Sir ARTHUR COTTON, 130 mean authority,
pressed upon the Home Government, whose
head was then Sir CHARLES WOOD, the necessity
of adopting prompt and vigorous measures to avert
a terrible catastrophe. Instant measures, contended
Sir ARTHUR, were necessary, and what did he re-
commend ? " One of the first things to be
_done
should be to construct a very large flotilla with the
least possible delay to provide for the carriage of
the numerous maces of food that will require to
be brought from the eastward." The answer, of
course, was what might have been expected. " Sir
CHARLES WOOD trusted there was no reason to

LONDON, S-ITURDAY, AUG. 24, 1867.1

The French and Austrian Emperors have parted,
and, to the great .disappointment of the curious,
nothing decided appears concerning their confe-
rence. All seems to be surmise and guess—work
which does not suit the fancy of those who arc
burning to know all about it. In consequence of
the reserve that has been kept, those who must
give vent to their feelings have to content
themselves by generalities, and thus we meet
everywhere with snppegtious intelligence. One
thing is certain, however, that the greatest
cordiality prevailed between the two EMPERORS on
Vic occasion of theirineeting, and that from first
to last nothing occurred to distract their serenity.
The result of their interviews may be all the more

foresaw, but had every confidence that, should
such a calamity unhappily occur, the Government
and the Government of India would not fail to take

an necessary measures for protecting the poorer

classes against the effects of the visitation:" Of
course the Whig Ministry at the India-office knew
far better the extent of the danger than the expe-
rienced man of business on the spot. No more
attention was paid to the warning than to Sir
Anniuß's report on the state of that I ery province
