point, on which pAustra s naturally sensitive than
any other leave Count Buol not only prepared to act
with moderation and forbearance with regard TO the &C.

whether they may be replaced with the consent Of the

interference the responsibility Of which is fully felt would

In discussing this question: with view to Its practical
souon was absolutely necessary to take into conside-
ration the dominant feeling in Count Buols mind that

The first OF these appeayd to me TO have the great sd

tying the Austrian government that the Duches would not
be exposed TO future danger but Of cutting at the

in danger Of invasion She has, consequently, armed

and caused that Power to take military precautions OF
most costly and formidable character But If Sardinia

happened Safe from any attack from either of her great

in peace and tranquility the development of her com

she has choseu, and, 1t might be hoped would become
pattern and example for the rest Of Italy to follow Aus

band, relieved from all anxiety the aggressive policy
Of Sardinia might consent 10 give up those treaties which
have been the cause Of 30 much irritation.
may be said that Sardinia would never consent 10

ties most interested in the question.
BeNe quitting altogether the subject OF the separate
treaties, may mention that Count Buol considers the
secret article the Austro Nespotan treaty of 1915
which binds the King Of Naples not TO alter institutions

dead letter.
But, while insisting principally on the four points espe-
caly recommended to by your lordshps Instructions
have ascertained Count Buols sentiments on the other
matters suggested to me by Count Walewsk, will take
