Theproposed Congress still occupies the attention
of all. parties, and most numerous are the conjec-
tures to which it has given rise. The newspapers
of Saturday evening mention that preparations have
been made by Earl COWLEY, Baron BCDBERG, and
M. DROUYN DE LULTYS to form a basis on which to
arrange matters between the disputing parties. As
yet nothing has been officially communicated to the
Courts of Berlin, Vienna, and Florence. It is men-
tioned by the Patrie that several fresh military mea-
sures have been adopted by Prussia, so that it is
naturally inferred in some quarters that she means
to commence operations in the Duchies, rely-
ing upon the neutrality of Hanover being
preserved. Very likely
some such ruse is in
contemplation, for great efforts have lately been
made by Prussia to secure the neutrality of Han-
over, and, of course, some double intender existed.
Those who are deluded into the notion that the
Berlin Government will consent to waive the exe-
cution of their schemes until after the Congress has
been expressed will find themselves very much
mistaken. One naturally turns from the surmises
respecting the Congress to the consideration of the
plans which relate to the war now so imminent.
The treaty between Prussia and Italy is a very
prominent feature of the affair, and, indeed,
since its formation matters have assumed a
far more complicated form, and present
more difficulties in the way of adjustment.
Among the most important points are found that it
is arranged,
in case of Austria attacking either of
these Powers, that the other would consider such a
step as a causis belli, and would jointly act against
the aggressors, while peace could not be made by
either side without the consent of the other. If, on
the contrary, the provocations of Prussia induce
Austria to declare war, Italy is to join the contest
a 3 the ally of Prussia. Besides this, these contract-
ing parties are not to make alliances with other
nations except by mutual consent. As this is
very
easily to be understood on the part of Italy, when
we consider the animus of her feelings en
to-
wards Austria ; hut why should Prussia thus
comport herself towards her old ally? No
wonder that Austria appears unwilling to join the
Congress, when she can thus discern the antago_
nistic spirit which animates the chief party in the
discussion.
It is reported from Paris that Austria will not
agree to a Congress, and if this continues to be the
case we do not see how England, France, and
Vienna, can with any propriety come forward in
the affair. If they do, the coitiequencea will be
