The following is summary of the letter Of
the Emperor of Austria in reply to Napoleon
Ill, dated Nov. Is: a..
The: Ihe Emperor acknowledges the important
6b1eets Of tue Congress for the settlement Of
the political questions at present pending,
and tle security Of tho future, but wishes,
before taking part therein, To- learn witt, goIac
accuracy the bases and programme Of tile de-
iiberattons Of the Congress. Should the qucs-
lion. to Be discussed be indicated beforehand,
the deliberations Of lie Congress, uniorscau
accidents which might overthrow everything
would be less to be feared. The dangerous
ana nsolrsblc problems which would create
tFefh, instead Of removing existing, compli-
cations would then be set aside.--
This idea Is more fully explained in a dis
Tatch OF Count Rechbe1g to Prince Meter
mich Of the same date as The Emp.ror's let
ter. 1t says: It is not sufficient 10 put for
ward programme Of negative character Us
LIE basis Of such important discussions The
Austrlan Government wishes to know low
tAe declaration OF the Emperor Napoleon
relative to the treaties Of 1876 is to be under
stood. These treaties have been partially |
modified; but, 30 far rs they have not been
ALTERED, they are considered as the f0uuda- |
ton Of public right Ia Europe. Some i'm |
pforcments are necessary. Let the French |
:nI1 point ont those It considers de-
dangerous than the evils themselves, The |
programme Of the Congress must fulfill all |
the conditions for the maintenance of peace, |
Which is the principal object TO be attained. |
