The German Qusstion-Austria and Prussia-Ths
Turkish Question The Fashionable Season, Re.
The day on which it was hoped that declara-
ton the part of the ministry in the chamber was
to solve the doubts and mysteries which exist with
regard to the diplomatic negotiations between the
different German cabinets, has passed, without the
anticipated result. The reply on the part OF tho
ministry TO the Interpolation on the German ques-
ton, which was deferred till Friday last, was to
the effect, that the government was still unable to
give the explanations desired by the house. nego-
tiations being still pending with the different Ger
man States. Making allowance for the slowness
with which all business, especially Of diplomatic
kind, is despatched in Germany it must still, after
six months fruitless negotiations, now appear be-
yond doubt, that agreement between the cabi-
nets the plan of forming union is a thing alto.
gether impossible; whilst it seems to be equally
certain, that If the project is not abandoned,
between the States must be the inevitable result.
In my last, informed you that an Austrian army
was being concentrated In Bohemia, and that the
Austrian forces at Vorarlberg, the southern from
tier Of Germany, were being considerably in
Austria, were not adopted for the purpose of d.
rect Intervention Of the latter in Germany, II is not
doubted for an instant that they are intended to
show the determination Of Austria to carry into
effect, by means Of an armed intervention, the
policy che has resolved upon, if all other means
should prove unavailable In the sntime, Prussls,
though che has gwen her to the reestablsh-
ment Of the old German confederation, and the sp-
pointmsnt Of a new provisional government, until
matters should be de6nitivly arranged, does not
give up her project Of union, and the establishment
of anew confederation within the old Bswd. In re-
ply TO the question put to the ministry in the lower
house, whether the government intended to adj
here to its resolution Of calling together German
parliament, the Minister for Foreign Affairs de-
clsred At enc Of the latest sittngs Of the second
chamber, last week, that the government would
not recede in the course it had adopted, and that
it would convoke the Reichstag, as soon as the
court Of confederation, which is already estab-
lished, had approved of and confirmed the new
electoral law. In despite Of Saxony and Hanover
having Withdrawn from the confederation, and in
despite OF the threats Of Austria, Prussia 10 deter
mined to continue in the course she has entered
upon. Besides having irrevocsbIy pledged herself
TO maintain the scfems Ut a German union, which
she cannot abandon without disgrace, the supre-
macy over the minor states, which II has been her
ambition 10 gam, and which she, de facfo, already
possesnes, would be lost the instant the plan Of
union 10 gwen up. But how II VIII be possible IN
this state o things, TO AVOID most serious Crisis,
and complete rupture between Austria and Prus-
sia, no one IL able TO tell.
