bearer of the treaty from Vienna to St. Petersburg
appears, Count Zchy who is described possessing
some influence with the Car or at all events as being

departure Of the latter for St. Petersburg at the
time the Count is said to be in the
closures relative to the state of opinion In Europe the
real feeling of the Cabinet Of Vienna and the caames
which the persistence of the Emperor in his pretensons
winevtably bring on his country well Europe
-pretensions which not even the most alta shed

ceive bases Of negotiations any propositions that
not distinct and clear to the commonest apprehension
and that win not give complete satisfaction Europe
No overtures will be received from Russia that not
precise and that do net bear them the certainty of
satisfactory issue, and more time will be allowed her

often and too long to be tolerated again. Indeed 1t is
