nothing but falsehood and suberfuge can
come from Russia.
The London Morning Chronicle gives the
following as san exact and complete sum
mary of the treaty, offensive and defensive,
concluded at Vienna on the I'd of December,
between Austria France and England
The treaty commences by repeating and
recording the declarations and the principal
acts of the conference of Vienna, as we'll as
the declarations and engagements contained
in the notes exchanged on the 9Th of August,
1854, between the high contracting parties.
1t maintains the four points of guarantee
as the necessary basis of peace, at the same
time that it reserves and recognizes to each
of the Powers the faculty of extending them
by additional conditions.
Austria binds herself to France and Eng
land, as she has already done to Turkey By
the treaty of the l4th of June, 1854, to oc-
cupy the Principalties for the purpose of
repulsing the Russian troops, if they attempt
to re-enter them.
Austria proclaims the right, as justly be-
longing to Turkey and to the allies, of ma
king all the movements which may suit them
for the purpose of attacking either the Rus
sian troops or the Russian territory.
If, in consequence of her attitude in the
Principalities, or for any other cause, Aus
tria should find herself at war with Russia,
the alliance, offensive and defensive, between
her, France and England, shall be establish
ed by the fact of the war.
If, before the end Of the present year, 1854,
Russia should not have made propositions
which are considered acceptable, and which
insure good and durable peace, the Three
Powers will advise as to the means Of OBJ
tanning that peace.
The three high contracting Powers bind
themselves not to accept any proposition
for the re-estab bishment of peace without
having deliberated upon it in common.
Such are the terms Of this important treaty.
The London Times of the 9th SAYS that
Prussia must now show her hand. The king
boasted, the other day, in the speech in which
he opened the session Of the Prussian Diet,
that he was acting in the closest union with
Austria, and that, whatever might be the
necessities of the time, Germany would act
as one body.
We are not so sanguine (says the Times)
as to believe that the inertia and the divis-
ions of the confederation can be so easily
overcome as to make the German states par
ties to the agreement now subsisting between
the allies, or to engage the federal forces of
Germany actively in the war; but the Prus-
sian assembly, TO which the words we refer
to were SO recently addressed, can hardly
fail to ask for proofs of that intimat- union
with Austria, which means also union with
the west of Europe and among the first
objects of the alliance of Vienna we have
no doubt that one of the chief purposes of
the three powers is to apply their influence
with energy to determine the future conduct
of Prussia at this crisis. 1t is fortunate that
at the moment when the chambers are just
convoked at Berlin an event of this import
ance occurs, not in the obscure regions of
diplomacy, but in the face of Europe. A few
days more will bring this treaty to the knowl-
edge of the public, and the question will
then be asked with authority whether Prus-
sia intends to adopt the resolutions of the
triple alliance or to separate herself from
them by neutrality, which is disguised
adherence to the cause of Russia. The king
Of Prussia is suspected in Germany of some
