Tho long delayed official publication of the prelmnares
of peace made Saturday last not from voluntary dis
position on the part Of the Imperial Government to crafty
the general curiosity and anxiety concerning the subject
but under the pressure of official announcement OF the
result of the Hkosburg negotiations at Berlin has failed
70 produce any decided feeling of relief in the capital OF
the Empire The Viennese and with them the ntelge
public throughout the Empire would have greeted the
certainty of an early with heartfelt satisfaction hed
they been assured that with the end of the war woud also
come the end OF the peryerse, reaetonary Ponuva s

Austria can be directly traced They would gau put Up
with all the suferings and foundations entaiea upon
them by the war; if they had but the announcement I
reliable indications that the Government PerceVeu 'He
sins and errors of its past and was contemplating IN
good faith changes for better 1t was hoped that the
official pomulgation of the terms which tho PTusslan
onaucor agreed take his hand off the throat of the En-
c would be made occasion the part of the Impe
rial Government for holding out assurances OF liberal
reforms accordance with the spirit of the age and the
wishes of the Austrian peoples In order to neuaZe the
bitterness OF past humiliation by the promise OF better
suure But this hope again doomed to disappointment
Not the least symptom yet apparent that the rulers
of the Empire have profed by the dire lessons OF the last
two months On the contrary, new facts, indicating
stubborn persistence in the old penicous course, have
ITanspred Martial law extended IN advance over the
seoy to be evacuated by the Pussan under the terms
of the armstce And moreover numerous arrests OF LIB
erals are being made Hungary In view of the caami-
tous past and the hopeless future general dsrust and the
worst antcpaOns continue to distract the public here and
everywhere else IN the Empire The prospect of an early
peace has bat nScnSbly affected commerce and industry
At the Boue, the suret indicator Of the prevailing state
of things stagnatOn of business is the order of the
day None of the national interests show the least sign
of returning vitality. The tendency toward national
bankruptcy to be rapid than during
she war; and feeling akin to despair is taking possession
1t is the general conviction of the Vienna public that
the peace pemnares to Prussia all she could pos
tbly desire, and that they imply the most dsgTaeetul
prostitution OF the of foreign Power Austria sub
mted TO. This publication was not accompanies by an
recount Of the course OF the negotiations But IL Is
known that the Imperial Commissioners failed to obtain
the least modification of the conditions first presented by
Count Bsmark. The PruSsian Minister never bent
