meeting them. Speakinr ONLY M The nresent wa
must acknowIedge that we do not see in The acts
of the French Goyernment spy sjrns of that nre
cipitaney-yehich the hopes of some and the fears
ize his action towards the belgerents. He has as
yet done nothing to preclude the parties to the
war from ayailing themselves of his FRIENDSHIP to
effect y0ppyociement. The Conditions Of neace
are still under discussion. and some misannre-
hensops have been cleared away. Prussia f ia
Austria, but only to compel recognition OF its
plan OF reconstltuting the German nation. Italy

power. D0S86S6iHr faeuitY X
