Austrian and Frussian Affairs
/
depression in funds and commerce.
The Times of the l2fh in its city article,
says the only fact before the public Is, that
all proceedings between Austria and Prus-
sia are from dayto day identical with those
which have usually preceded every modern
war between powerful nations.
The Press of the 1lth publishes tele-
gram stating that the Prussian reply to the
last Austrian note gives decisive refusal
to Austria's demand that Prussia should
withdraw its order for the mobilization of
its troops, this order having been issued
only as a defensive measure. The Prus-
sian note further declared that, warned by
the fact of the Austrian Government hav-
ing made warlike preparations, the Prus-
sian Cabinet is bound to consider these
preparations as destined for aggression
against Prussia.
The Morning Post says the German Gov
ernments have unanimously determined, at
the next meeting of the Federal Diet to
reject the Prussian proposition for reform
of the Diet. At the same time a motion is
to be brought forward requesting the Diet
to summon Prussia to discontinue its arma-
ments. #1'
The Berlin provincial correspondence
says that Prussia has well-founded hope
that the general government and people
will support the proposition for reforming
the constitution OF Germany.
