follows
The proceedings at the Warsaw Conferences
and their results, have been very ronf,sediv
stated and has hi.her to been extremely ]gi,nir
to arrive at clear and definite understandings of
the position taken up by the two great powers NJ
those Conferences, A review then. of these r,r,.
ceedings based upon actual facts will be If Great
se-vice al this crisis. Prussia was represented
at these Conferences by Count Brnndenburg and
BY Herr Won R0chow, the Prussian Ambassador
at St Petersburg; Austria by Count Nesseirode
ard Russia by Baron Meyendorf The Emge-
TOTS of Austria and Russia were also present
The subjects 10 be discussed Ind previously been
decided in confidential negotiations between Ber-
lin and Vienna, and O kind Of programme had
been drawn up containing the demands Of both
Governments. From this programme ? mutual
foundation for an understanding between Austria
and Prussia was TO be drawn, which was to be
laid before the other Governments ofGermany in
Congress assembled, which the majority was TO
decide. This programme containedthe six points
which have been so frequently adverted to. i re-
peat them here us | quote from an Official source.
|. Equaliz cation Of the position OF Austria and
Prussia in respect of the Presidency question.
?. Restoration OF the II votes in the form oil the
Bundesraths) federal council with analogous
powers to those given by the Bnndesakt to the
Understanding lthe council ofl7)
3. Transfer OF the actual executive to Austria
and Prussia
The agreement that, for the time being I-u
-eit, the representation of the people shall not
be united to the federal council lBundesrath.l
8. The admission OF the Austrian Empire into
the Bund
6. The principles of free union for those States
which voluntarily desire to unite, provided that
their federal union shall not be in contradiction
with the constitution of the new Bund.
These were the points discussed III the confer
ences and in al disputes the Emperor OF Russia
endeavQTed as much as possible to mediate be-
tween the conflicting opinions though with de
Cded tendency to favor the Austrian view Aus
tria Internationally rejected the irst point leav
ing the decision to the future members OF the
Bund with the intention that Prussia should her
selfmake the proposal whent the Bund should have
been reconstructed On the third point Austria
desired the construction OF triad, the third power
to be Bavaria. This is, | believe, one OF the
poiuts settlnd at Bregeuz and included in the
Convention agreed to there. The remaining points
were naturally accepted by Austria without hest
tation the acceptatou of the las was accom-
panied by the remark that the right OF free union
alluded to was already sanctioned by paragraph
II of the Bundesakt of 1915. In return for sane.
tionirg these points, Austria demanded as prellm'
nary conditions to final understanding
/. The total abandonment of the constitution OF
the Erfurt union.
,. That Prussia should leave untouched the
Bund in its present position and not oppose the
resolutions of the assembly sitting IN Frankfort.
With regard to the free conference Austria re-
CURED that the form in which the Vienna confer
ences of ls45 took place should be formally adopt
ed Austria presided at these conferences. The
results to possess the character OF binding led
eral resolution and to be published like the Wen
ma final convention. To these preliminary con
dtious thus put by Austria, Count BrandenourS
replied IN the name of Prussia, that she was not
in position to permit any one sided alteration to
be made in the protocol of the Both sitting OF the
provisional college of princes 18th OF Oct and
that with regard to the assembly in Frankfort 1t
could not possibly be recognized as the Bundsyer,
sammlung but that its existence would not be o0
iected to- The answer to the Austrian reusals
of the first and third points was reserved. Very
long and warm discussions are represented to have
taken place, but without producing any change IN
the intentions OF either party, and the conference
separated without coming to any actual decision
The Emperor of Russia declared, however,
that if the Prussan Government should aterward
agree to the Austrian demands he would qua
rantee the fufment ofthe programme as it would
then stand Your readers will now perceive the
real state Of affairs at the beginning oil the month,
and few words more will show clearly the
origin Of the present crisis. Herr Won Radowltz
read to the cabinet n long memorial, In which he
explained bis views the conditions appended
by Warsaw to the acceptance of the points of the
programme presented in Warsaw, and on her re-
lection of points and 3. The late Minister OF
Foreign Affairs declared that the Constitution OF
the Erturt MON could not be abandoned, The
honor Of Prussia and her. position in Germany
would in consequence, receive a deep and incu
rable wound, and the whole of the Governments

thy in the nation would be lost. He further de-
cIared that in the affairs of SIeswg- Holstein and
