Extract Of a letter to gentleman in this
city, dated
HAMBURGER, 18th Jan. 1915.
l have not time to-day to 60 into politi-
! cal disquisition with you. Tie Vienna Con-

| gave birth to. All the great magnanimous
| projects tor the future happiness of Europe
nave disappeared, and made place to selfish
ness and to a scrambling for territory. 1t is
out sorryspectacle to see soveregns met for
+! the avowed purpose of securing the happiness

pletely losing sight of their high-caling, deal

Prussia would subscribe to any thing almost.

as she has actually re-occupied her former
dominions III Italy. This system of sDoliation
! is however strongly resisted both by England,
as also by France, and the smaller German
states. France, ably represented by Tai
!eyrano, wants to take credit, for protecting
the weak and opposing injustice She is thus
again extending her influence in European
| Poiiucs, ana having no engagements with the
ailes, nor any thing to expect from them, she
talks out proudly, and in wordsrat least, o.
| penly opposes the plans of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
made by the great powers whilst England,
VINO may be supposed to be actuated by the
same motives, and from purer principles,
Goes not derive the credit she deserves. as
many considerations induce her openly to
paiiiate proceedings, which she is using eve
rry exertion to persuade the cabinets to dcsist
from-whcther she will succeed, remains tn
be seen but whilst she is performing the
part of monitor, France will claim the hon
or ct any favorable change that may take
place.
Wo months and more the crowned
heads have been assembled together, with
out any progress having been made in the
great points. Thus eight millions of Ger
mans are kept without knowing whom thev
are to belong to. AS these countries prnci-
patly bear the weight attached to quartering
large armies, the past impressions of what
they suffered under France is giving wav to
the more acute feeling of present hardships
and to Judge by the manner in which their
tate is to be settled, they must feel pretty in

1t is understood that the sovereigns will leave
Vienna very shortly with smiling countenan-
ces, and after very fine Te Deurr, where
fine music must make up for what there is
deficient in sentiment. The feasting and o.

bad effect upon the Austrian finances
Somebody has had the impudence to pro-
pose, that the unapproPriated countries
should bear the expense 1t would be more
equitable, think, to make regular pick
