the question shah arise for quitting the Germanic
territory, AMI carrying the war into tho provinces
Of neighboring States and 1t is understood that this
desire has been conceded on the part Of two sove-
reigns. Hence there Is a possibility of kind OF
tierspartt between the Imperial Court of Vienna
and that of Berlin, which may one day thwart
the general policy Of Germany, such as II ia
understood by Austria and Prussia. This coali-
ton is not in itself new one. 1t was formed SOME
three years ago, and was only nominaly broken up,
after the conclusion OF a customs treaty between
Austria and Prussia. II was, however, secretly kept
up, and the knowledge OF this has been, for some
Prussia. The Court Of Berlin pointed out the hos
tile spirit which it evnced, and its opposition on
every occasion. This opposition was increased with
the embodiment Of the Eastern question, and at .
period when Prussia seemed less favorable to the
designs Of Russia It was then that the two EN-
perors made, as will be remembered FREQUENT and
cordial visits to Omutz and Warsaw, and that the
Gar, without precisely submitting himself to the
power, declaring that she alone remained really i'm
dependent. II Is precisely for that reason that Ans
tria supported this coalition Of the States. She
even wished to extend and strengthen that coali-
Dresden to propose to the coalition different means,
representing them as calculated to secure to it o
great influence in the conflict which was in prepa
ration. In reality, the object was to obtain for Aus
tria the complete and unreseryed adhesion OF the
coalesced States against Prussia.
Those persons who have followed with some at
tentioh the very varied phases which the Eastern
question has already gone through, must have
remarked Tue multitude and diversity Of interests
which it ha5 already raised These interests have
only manifested themselves successfully; and, az
they have become revealed, the policy of the cab-
nets has been modified. The history Of this coa-
tion offers remarkable example. II was prepared
and organized by Austria against Prussia. Now
The coalition separates from Austria, and draws
nearer 70 Prussia Why is this says the Journal

itself in its turn, and dictates to her more firm
and active policy.

exhibit any Russian tendencies, ventures, this &C.

any more about it than the rest Of the world. One
thing Is quite certain-that Jassy is being most care

early intention to vacate it. xii
The silk trade Of Lyons Is improving, though far
from being as good as might be desired. Large or
ders have lately been received from America, North
and South which have had on it sensible effect. The
dearness of the raw material continues to be the
principal check to speculation especially as the re.
suit OF the crops cannot, at present, owing to the
incessant cold rains, be correctly estimated. As
soon as the result of the crops shall be known, large
orders are expected from the United States, who
are the best customers lyons has.
