without iniermissi0n and without being him

Twill enjeayor to point out here the result OF
my own consideration and of the reflections Of
q considerable number Of clear seeing conser-
vatives. As for direct measures Of retaliation,
ri ct armis, these can only be carried cut
through France, England and Russia, and
theircommercial relations place insurrnounta-
BILE difficulties in the way ofthe two first named
powers. A formal rupture with the American
Union on the part OF the German State wonld
become a naval war, in which, notwithstand-
ing the mediocrity of their maratime power ~
the former would become the attacking party.
For this reason il is obviously, unavoidably ne
cessary for Germany, besides Austria, and, out
of the Adtiatic, to have a sufficient number of
ships of war to protect her coast and commerce
against the attack which will be forcibly made
from America and Denmark for the latter power
is ever the ready ally when it concerns an attack
upon the territory, the honor, and the welfare
of the German States.
At present the measures of Germany against
the United States must assume defensive

them to the obvious principles of right, and, TO
the eternal laws of justice. We must speak

guage. They live in q land where there ore
many honest and thoughtful citizens, who bear

from the Lloyd of Vienna:
