tended that there was nothing new 10 the
Treaty, and that il simply resulted from fhe
foruer Efforts Of Austria 20 restore peace TO
Europe. 4 note sss ike wise cent By the visuaese
Cabinet TO 81. Petersburg, explaining th.t the
Treaty was not undertaken 10 the spirit OF hos
tilisI 10 Rossis, but mat Austria desired tas'
Rus.ia should make concessions in order 20 avert
conflict between them.
The Russian Envoy did not shereuPon leave
Vienna. and thu. the whole matter /. rendered
sill more incomprehensible. That Austria seeks
TO The last to ontWit the Allies becomes more aad
more probable, but at the same time she dst,eaes
Lerself still further from Russia. Up to this
time, Austria has been successful in both these
attempts, and is not yet seriously committed to
either party; she msy Prolong this e1psc'sot pol
lev. until tin shall bring some new complication
or solution.
Austria assuring TO the Allies the possibility OF
invading Russia beyond the Pruth- reckons on
the absolute in possibility of this being done be-
fore next spring. To be sure neither the allies
nor Oner Pashs would rick such step with
ANAL army During the winter Austria ma!
learn which Of the belliserents will be forced to
make concessions By the events in the Crimea
In word, sac once more gains time.
In our opinion, Austria Glands nearly or wholly
committed sgsibst Russis and we consider this
treaty, as il stands, note Of decided suspicion,
drawn on the Expeditions of peace. Austria,
in taking this new step, was not assured either OF
the asss mt or cooperation of Prussia or the Other
States of Germany. None of these powers na'
yet gone beyond tse fourth paragraph of the Note
Of April Q. The Interior comments made there.

Aug. = forming official appendices to The Trea'y

cannot accept the Interpretation of the note Of
August Q, there being question Of reducing her
influence in the Princpaties, and her Ne7I in
the Black Sea, unless he loses several battles. so,
battles are likely TO occur.
How long Austrian cunning is to be succe s.fnl,
time slone will show. 1t may be that cannon
balls may reDd 10 pieces the cobgeb of her policy
and that her influence may disappear in the cloud
of eunpowder smoke.
