make her disarmament conditional upon Prussia
also disarinR IL is bel eyed thar the intervention
OF Russia, though 1t may not lead to any settlement
of the difficulty, will nevertheless prevent for
time any further comp cat1on
On the evening OF the 9Th, Austria sent a very
categorical d spatch TO BerIn, IN winch Count Bis

Austria TO be inevitable, and 1T is affirmed the
Austrian armaments have been caused by that decla-

THE PRUssIAN REPLY TO THE AUSTRIAN NOTE OF
MARCH 81.
The undersigned is instructed by his Government
to noitY TO your EXceilency the rece JLiOn OF the
communication which the Imperial Envoy IN Berlin
presented, a note dated the 3lst ut, TO the Presl
dent of the Ministry and MIN. ster for Foreign
Affairs, Count BismaTk he President OF Inc Nun
istTy did not delay submitting tina. note, IN accord
with the wish therein expressed to his uaJesy
the King, ais most gracious sovereign, and with
reference thereto the Undersigned IS instructed 10
address to your Excellency the following ObserVa.
ton:- ....
have arisen solely lrom the lacL that Austria, with
any apparent cause has begun SINCE the Both OF
last month to push forward considerable armed
forces IN threatening manner towards the lPrus-
sian froniler. ..r
ton respecting its motives for this strange proceed
ing for the statement that the apprehenaons of the
jewish inhabitants had rende ed those armaments
necessary lTreconcllable with the extent the
latter rs 1t IS with the locality at which the assem-
bled reinforcements are stationed-namely, on tue
Saxon and PrussIan frontier where ths security of
the Jews has never been endangered.
Had Austria, like Prussia, believed herself to be
threatened. it miRht certainly have been exp ced,
after the sentiments expressed in Count harolyis
note, that the Iabnet OF Vlenna, whi referring to
Article IL of the Federal Fact, would have made
known to the Federal Diet, or at least the Prus-
slan Government the acts which appeared 10 Aus
trla to be OF threatening nature Instead OF that,
up 10 the present time there has been no endeavOr
to justify the pretended defensive character of the
Austrian armaments by specifying any signs OF
danger against which defensive measures should be
directed. 1he secresy with which the Austrian
ornaments have been surrounded, and the effort to
make the r wel-known extent appear in the eyes
OF the Prussan Government less important than 1t
actually IS, has only strengthened the natural lm-
preston respecting them, namely, that the lmpe-
rial troops on the northern frontier of Austria
which have been duIl reinforced during the
last fortnight, are destined tor oIensVe hostile
der;akiDg against Prussia. Notwi, hstandlng this
the Prussan Government delayed for ten days-vIz
till the 18th utthe issue of orders to prepare
sures OF 0etense because King the undersigneus
most gracious sovereign, fOresaw that the accu-
mutation OF milhary forces IN front Of one another
would more serious y endanger peace than could
have been the case until then through the exchange
OF diplomatic dispatches Only when tn rough the
number al position of the Austrian troops the
Bohemian frontier the safety of the Prussian terri

lutl0nS OF the AUSTRIAN CaDlI et DID his Majesty
order measures TO be taken Tor the protection OF the
country and at tn same time taking note of the
fact that 1t was the Austrian Government which,
from motives until now unexplained had by mi itary
menace placed the frussian frontier in a situation
OF danger, for winch no precedent is to be found in
the politics international intercourse of Europe,
and 1or which the Prus,lan Government must de.
cidedy reject every responsibility. Unless Aus
trian Government rea lY Intends to attack Prussia,
the Prusslan Government cannot und rstand why
Austria should nave adopted these military measures.
The undcrsiged ener9e-Ically repe tho utterly

any intention to violate the peace, and at same
time instructed 1ormallY 10 declare 10 Count Mems
doIff that norhng is further from the intentions of
his Majesty, the King, than offensive against
Austria
The King of Prussia is the less able to doubt the
EN- eror's personal sentiments inasmuch as he en-
feelings of friendship towards his Imperial Majesty
undIsturbed by political circumstances. The lmpe.
rial Government cannot fail to nave opportunities
for expressing, by Its acts It's friendly sentiments
towards the Prussan kingdom.
