do not deny that there may exist a written
engagement between France and Russia, but

that such arrangement contains nothing that
in the most distant manner could be interpret
ed as constituting hostile alliance against
Europe. If Lord Malmesbury should b ques-
toned on the subject he may answer with con-

The Austrian Manifesto.
The manifesto of the Austrian Emperor is
published in full. Its substance is 81 have
ordered my army to enter Sardinia. | am
aware Of the vast importance of the measure,
and if ever my duties monarch weighed
heavily on me, it is at this moment. War is
the scourge of mankind. l see with sorrow
that the lives and property of my subjects are
imperilled, and deeply feel what severe trial
war is for my realm, which requires the con-
tlnuance OF peace; but the heart of the mon
arch must be silent at the command of honor
and duty. AT the frontier is an armed enemy
who, in alliance with the revolutionary party,
openly announces his intention to obtain pos
session of the dependencies of Austrian Italy.
Our struggle is just one, and we begin it
with courage and confidence. We hope how
ever, we shall not stand alone in it. The soil
on which we have to battle was made fruitful
by the blood lost by our German brethren,
when they won those bulwarks which they
have maintained up to the present day There
the crafty enemies of Germany have generally
begun their game, when they have wished to
break her internal power. The feeling that
such danger is now imminent, prevails in all
parts of Germany, from the hut to the throne,
from one frontier to the other. | speak as a
sovereign member of the German Confedera-
ton, when | call attention to the common dan
ger, and recall to memory the glorious times in
which Europe had to thank the general and
fervent enthusiasm of Germany, for its liberia
ton, for God and tatherland. Given at nv
residence and metropolis of Vienna, on this
18th day Of April, 1853"

composing the German confederation not to
allow themselves to be insulted by the remi-

present. and he hopes that the statesmen of
Germany will perceive that it depends on him
to put limits on the extension and duration of
