time restifcation of the Scheswg frontiers was
determined upon in the interest of Germany. 1t is to

and to the same cause Europe owes itthat general
conflict has been averted. Complete success was OBJ

of their more sincere and loyal alliance. The great
German Powers did not wage to realize the mag-

sea. The result will be sanctioned forever by hon

have any differences with the remainder OF Germany
but they will respect the privileges and the well estab
