The treaties Of peace with Austria Bavaria, WuIeui
bBrr and Baden hays hoen ratified both sides and the
rst payments Of expenses have been made by them
Peace has been also concluded with Darmstadt under IA
verabe conditions due Russian influence. II has only
70 cede small territory, almost ncosed, and connecting
Prusssu possessions aud has to pay 1900 900 forms The
acessons Of Territory arc therefore, abandoned Tor nom
the sido OF SaxoLy, uOse is 70 be expected. -
Notwithstanding the acquisition Of 4,oDoVo OF IN
hebants is OF importance the territorial connection De-
tween the two parts Of the Pussan territory which has
been established is Of still greater advantage. Tho small
Independent Stntes in Northern Germany
rounded that they cannot dream of any political independ
enoe while eTsehy Hanover and Electoral Hesse could
servo them as supporting points -
During the pre- araons for the last war Austrian dipo
macy had succeeded for establish political
connection between Hanover Electoral Hesse Brunswick
and Meckleuburg with the intention that they should
ry round the Austrian troops at that time still in Hoi-
STEIN aud should attack Prussia from the north the
nPidty Of the military and diplomatic action Of Prussia
had not prevented tho execution d this pan II would
have mot perhaps with far greater difficulties IN the North
than il has found in the campaign with the southern
States A revolution might still overthrow the
fsng administration but the Governments Of the other
German states are no longer to be feared by Prussia
They will have to submit either 70 Federal organization
70 the PIussan Government directly, and VIII DO so
without the employment Of any eoescive means
1t is different with Saxoly, which SHAH continue, &C
cordiRg the peace cOncUaed With Austria, under the
protection OF France and shall suffer territorial losses
Its whole boundary south rests on Bohemia, and has
an excellent connection with Bavaria as vel as me oes
line OF communication in its interior, and population Of
2500C0o Considering that II always entertained excel
lent diplomatic connections which saved it at the Con-
gress Vienna they do nOw its future relations with
Prussia stil Of great lmpOI lance.
Prussia requires therefore, the permanent right OF occu
principle by Saxony.
AZ wrote to YOU already the King Of Prussia win have
real decision in respect to his future position IN the
North German COnfedeacy TO the Parliament OF that sec
ton Of Germany lie intends to reg Late the fundamental
points by special treaty with The oler States before the
Parliament assemblies Military sbsolutOn wants TO end
what began without submitting II to popular vote
Count Bismark undoubtedly that the Parliament
viii render him afeTwera better services when be has
already broken the Independence Of TIE States by treaties
In the circles Of Prince Charles brother of the King
and Of Prince Frederick Charles his son, returning with
lsuTsls acquired in Bohemia and IN the higher military
circles however, very strong objections entertained
against any N0rth-6erman Parliament. This opinion
obtains great support from the small Courts, which
would rather make concessions the King Immediately
than them imposed by Parliament Rights can be
AGAIN obtained from The King in using Court influences
but from Parliament and from publicity. Every
democratic NESS any Parliamentary assembly is called
in Court circes would divide with the King the rule over
the other sOyereiMs. This would humble them and
weaken the power Of the King Such princi
paly raised by the fomale portion of the royal family
and sngulay enough the crown princess takes part
in these agitaons II is said In court circles that she
does not DO it from love for third cousins from dis
interestedness but merely from personal dislike to Count
Bismark, 70 whom the daughter Of Queen Victoria
not pardon the supereilousness With which he treated,
ever since his accession to power, England and English
diplomacy.
Inc strongest expression Of this family opposition how
ever found in the sister of the King the mother Of the
Grand Duke Of Mecklenburg- Schwern. She lad come
here lend their assistance heHanoYoran DeputaOn
which had here toward tho end OF last week pro-
test against the annexation OF Hanover She use Oh the
devices Of female diplomacy in the most regardless man
Prayers tender representations excuses of fuzzy
and bad expressions, tears and svoOningS You are
yourself only Throne robber; you are yourself only
Gaubaldi she told her brother the King This assault
for Hanover happily defeated, as you viii have al
ready perceived. Political necessity and geographical
position offer mighty arguments not TO lei return that
danger which arose by the Austrian connection with
Hanover and Hesse for Prussia that the King could have
yielded on this point But with the Parliamentary ques-
bon the Grand Duchess 70 have been
full She has az least obtained that the poor King Of
Saxcny, which has already Prussan garrison, should
not also loose the remnant of bis sovereignty by ega
tions for German parliament.
At this occasion the dseord in our hghes. circles he's
shown itself most thoroughly, while the Prussian civil
Commissary de Wurmb, at Dresden, removes the Saxon
police officers which prohibits the meetings Of the national
party and faToI all agtatons for parliament and annex
alton. The military GoYcrnOrGenera de Ichack uses tie
still existing condition of to issue prohibition of all
political reunions ard meetings. as TO prevent al agti-
tons for Parliament and for annexation with Prussia
General Tchack has received this order from his chief
Prince Frederick Charles and the King has approved,
after the Intervention Of his sister this suppression
OF all agitation IN Saxony The civil cOmmissary
De Wurnb has naturally bitterly complained of this hui
initiation his chief the Minister, and asked for relief
rs he had acted only his instructions from Berlin. But
he hes been admOpshed TO DO patient and the treaty Of
peace should soon be concluded appears likely, or
military party viii have the satisfaction OF suTrenderng
20 the King his people with bound limbs IL IS IN perfect
accordance with this that there is in ministerial circles
less and less said about Parliament do not however,
believe that Count Bsmark has entirely abandoned his
plan but he has let it side in the background til he
an farthe 7 1t with the King on another occasion.
The change in the French Ministry viii also contribute
there existed here belief to be able 70 overcome all
difficulties with France, which one yet believes to be sure
FOR the whole year 1867.
One has then At least one year for the organization Of
German Affairs and the political difficulties which await
thereby Prussia and the rest of Germany accounted
of too little weight only absoutists supercousness, ana
A. French citizens in other places did not already make
themselves peTcepuble, one would become neghgeEt 80

between Prussia and France and the position occu

For nobody doubts that France backs the Netherlands
and that all plans Of compensation are connected with s
intended separation Of LuXembnTg from Germany But
this TOO, wall be slow aad cautious Work On bohali Of

The French Minister Monster was ambassador at
Berlin during the Crmean war; and organized the famous
then OF dispatches which put him IN possession Of tie
dispatches of the PrussaE military envoy a. Petersburg
who enjoyed the full confidence Of the Emperor Nicholas
and which made him acquainted with the Russian plan oil
campaign. This is only Of interest, as what became
known at the time proved him very Intimate with the
character OF conditions and persons at Berlin.
