In this dispatch Austria declares her willingness TO take
part in the Conference as proof OF the continuance OF
her coDcatory views, subject TO the condions already
announced by telegraph according to which all PROPOSE
tons shall le excluded from the deliberations OF the Con-
ference having reference either to the territorial aan
dsemen or the increase Of power OF any OF the states
represented At the time the dispatch lays stress
upon the fact that in order to accept the invitation OF the
neutral Powers, the position of Austria toward the
Government of King Victor Emmanuel is neither
10 be modified nor preudeed by an eventual decision OF
the Conference relative 10 the Italian difficulty In con-
clusion the Austrian Government expresses surprise that
the Pontfca Government should not have been invited
TO take part in deliberations which might refer TO the
Italian question: since the interests Of the Papacy would
be affected thereby Apart from all questions of legality,
the temporal sovereignty of the Pope is fact recognized
by all the Governments and therefore the Pope has an
unquestonabe right TO be heard in all questions relating
10 the affairs of Italy.
