in the country; inasmuch as this criminal fraction
took arms at the appointed time, commenced
hosfilities and published procamatons which ex-
cited the people to a general revolt inasmuch a.
Cracow became the seat of q central faction,
which assumed the name of revolutionary gov
eminent; inasmuch, as all those circumstances
have placed the city of Cracow in q miserable
state of war, which would have authorized the
three Courts OF Austria, Prussia, and Russia to
use all the rights conferred by war; inasm UGH, as
for that reason alone, the three courts might dis
pose of territory which had assumed a hostile
attitude towards them but inasmuch a.
the intention of the three powers is not to
submit the city OF Cracow to the law Of
the strongest, inasmuch as where there is 20
great an inequality of force that law could not
be applied; inasmuch as it is not intended TO
commit any act Of vengeance against that city or
to- punish II, but that the high protecting powers
wish only to establish order and peace In the tee-
rltory OF Cracow, and have no other object than
to protect the inhabitants against events which
have so much disturbed their tranquility; mas
| much as by treaty concluded between the
three Courts, on the Sd OF May, 1916, the city Of
Cracow,, with its territory, was deolai led free,
independent, and strictly neutral city and placed
the three Courts have wished to carry into execu-
ton, by this convention, the articles relating 10
Cracow in the different treaties Of the 3D. May,
1915, of which one was concluded between his
Majesty the Emperor OF Austria and the Emperor
| ofRussia, and the other of, the Same date, be-
| tween the Emperor Of Russia and His Majesty
the King OF Prussia /; but inasmuch as the exist
ence Of the free city of Cracow, far from respond
ing to their intentions, has been a. source Of dis
turbance, which during 20 years has not only mo-
naced the peace and the prosperity of that treo
city, and the safety Of tho adjoining country, but
likewise tends to overthrow the order OF things
established by the treaties of l8l6-inasmuch as
numerous facts of this nature, which arc too
generally known to render it necessary to examine
them, have entirely changed in its essence the
mode Of existence of Tho city of Cracow, and that
by proceedings contrary to treaties, Cracow has
several times disengaged itself from the duties inn
posed on it by strict neutrality, that those pro.
| ceedings have several times induced the armed
Intervention of the three Powers, and that all the
changes effected in its constitution to give moro
force to its government, have not prevented q
repetition of those deplorable facts inasmuch rs
even the forebearance manifested by the friendly
ordinances Of the three governments, in place Of
attaining the object, have served but to fortfy the
lrreconcileabe enemies of order existing In their
plans, and that the free city Of Cracow is become
the locus OF new and vast conspiracy of which
the qualifications embraced all the ancient
Polish provinces inasmuch as to this Gull
pable and disloyal enterprise was joined
| armed attack, and that Cracow formed a
centre whence the spirit OF revolt endeavored
quillity of Tho neighboring States-inasmuch AZ
that subsequently Crac0w was evidently too fee
BILE to resist the continual intrigues of the Polish
emgrants who hold that city in moral slavery %
thatit offers to the powers no further guarantee
against the return OF attempts at revolution ffe-
kqnenty renewed but inasmuch a. enterprises
of this nature are an evident violation ofthc trea-
y of the Sd OF May, 1876 as well as Of the "a arti-
Gle of the constitutional st tutes framed for tho
free city Of Cfacow, the 3Oth Of May, ls33-inas.
much as the conventions above mentioned, rela-
ting to Cracow, between the three Powers, have
only been repeated in the 9th, 7h, 9th, 9th and
10th articles of the general act of the Congress
of Vienna, Of the 9th OF June, 1915, in order that
| this act should embrace the different results Of
The prQv ppto d~d tho
negotiations b ,twecn the cabnets-inasmnch ~
that, consequently, if the three governments at
present with respect to Cracow, an order Of things
upon which they voluntarily agreed in Tho year
1915, they merely exercise an undoubted right;
inasmuch as in consequence of all that prccedee,
and having taken into serious oonsiderasion The
security Of their states, go frequently menaced BY
the free City of Cracow, the three courts of Aus
tria, Prussia, and Russia, have a.reed on the fol-
lowing resolutions IL. The three above stated
courts Of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, reyoking
the articles Of the treaties relating to the CityOf
| Cracow concluded the one between His Majesty
the Emperor of Russia and the Emperor of Aus.
tria, and the other between the Emperor Of Rus.
sia and the King of Prussia, and signed the Sd Of
May, 1915, in tho same manner the additional
| treaty between Austria, Prussia, and Russia. Of
the same day, isrevoked and suppressed. 2 The
City Of Cracow and its territory are, in con,e-

his Imperial, Royal, and Apostolic Msiessy. Is

Correspondence of the London Chronicle1
| PARIS, Nov. Pal am informed that M. Guizot
yesterday received the answer of Lord Palmer
.ton to the proposition addressed to his lordship
through the Count de Jarnac, that England should
unite with France in joint protest against the
destruction OF the independence Of Cracow, and
the annexation of that republic TO the Austrian
domnions. A council Of Ministers was imme-
diately called, and it is said that tho noble lords
answer produced very painful impression, not
only account of the substance, but the
form OF the answer of Lord Palmerston declared
at once and in the most positive. terms, that the
French Cabinet must expect no simultaneous and
| united action between France and England in re-
spect TO the affairs Of Cracow. IasI4.s
Some members OF the Cabinet are SAID to have
| expressed dissatisfaction that M. Guizot should
| have made the FIRST advances towards England,
| or have been the first to ask Lord Palmerston to
act in conjunction with Fradce, without having
in the first instance got some assurance that the
proposition would be well received. The men,
bers of the Cabinet differed also greatly TO tho
| steps now to be taken by France with respect TO
| the Northern powers. M. Guizot was of opinion
energetic protest, assume an imposing attitude;
but his opinion was not received with thatunani-
nifty among his colleagues to which be had been
| accustomed. nj. Duchatel and some other menu
bers of the Ministry, are said 10 have expressed
their opinion that protest would be OF no use,
and would be only ridiculous If not followed by
some more active demonstration, and that any
real denomination might lead to a general war.
They were therefore ofopinion that twas better
not to be in too great haste in the matter, and that
they ought to wait to sec what would be done by
England. The Council is said to have broken mp
without coming 10 any resolution ON the point.
There appears 70 be very little doubt that the
affair Of Cracow has placed M. Gulzot in difficult
ties from which he will find il difficult to extncate
himself. His policy with regard to the Northern
powers is not only disapproved Of by an infpen-
tal party in the Cabinet, but is said to have given
annoyance TO the highes st personage in the realm
Here his fall is considered inevitable. He has
placed himself in false position, both with res
poet TO the Northern powers and TO England.
The Northern powers have responded 70 his adj
vances by the violation OF the treaty Of Vienna
| and the marriage Of the Duke Of bordeaux. Eng
land, TO whom he has given such Just cause OF OF.
