The Prussian Government had issued
circular note to the neutral Powers,

the Diet. Prussia also sent protest to
Austria, declaring that the measures an
nounced by Austria in the Diet violate the
treaty of Gastien, cause suspension Of
the Duchies, and restore the Powers to
positions accorded by the treaty of Vienna.
An Austrian circular declares that Aus
tria will observe the Gastien Convention
until a definite settlement of the question
of the Duchies is effected. Her only OBJ

was to effect such settlements.
Military preparations are reported from
all quarters.
