THE FRANCO GERMAN QUESTION.
Count BIsmark'B Note In Reply to the
French Circular PrussIan Opinion OF
the Salzburg Conference.
The following circular despatch from Count
de Bismark, addressed to the Representatives of
Prussia abroad, is published in the Augsburg
Gazette the points of the important paper hay
ing reached us by the Atlantic cable:-
BERLIN, Sept I'll have already brought
under your notice the communications which
have reached us on the part of Austria, and
also on that of France, relative to the signdca-
ton and character of the interview at SalzbErg
communications which we could not but
receive with satisfaction. 1t Was to be foreseen
that it would be difficult to convince the public
mind that an event such as the meeting of the
two powerful monarchs, in presence of the
actual condition of Europe, was destitute of any
deeper meaning or larger scope. The state
ments published, at first ostentatiously and with
an appearance of being authentic, with respect
TO the political resolution said TO have been
come to at Salzburg, were not of a nature to
remove doubts on the subject of that interview.
We have therefore, learned with all the
greater satisfaction, by the Austrian and French
declarations, that the visit OF the Emperor Ma
poleon spraug from sentiment which we re-
spect and which has our sympathies, and that
this character was preserved in the communica-
lions between the two sovereiens.
According to these declarations the internal
affairs of Germany did not, as was supposed
from the first statements, constitute the object
OF the conversations which took place at Salz-
burg. This is all the more fortunate, that the
reception given everywhere in Germany to these
statemen and suppositio9s has proved anew
how greatly the German national sentiment is
opposed to the idea of placing the development
OF the affairs of the German people under the
patronage Of foreign interference, or to see it
guided by other considerations than those which
are commanded by national interests.
We have assumed the task from the COM
mencement of directing the national course OF
Germany so that it should not act in destruc-
tive, but in productive manner.
We have abstained from everything that could
precipitate the national movement; we have
sought to calm and not to agitate. We may,
therefore, hope that these efforts will Gprove
with equal solicitude everything that could pro-
woke uneasiness on the German part OF the
people. Any project, of foreign interference
would justly excite the sentiment OF national
independence and dignity. Therefore, it is with
lively satisfaction that we receive the formal
dsaVowal of all idea of interference in the in
ternal affairs of Germany. We are well pleased
at it in the interest of the peaceable develop.
ment of our own affairs.
The Governments of Southern Germany them
selves render us this justice, that we have ab-
stained from all attempt at moral pressure on
their resolutions, and that we have renounced
the means which the Zoliverein offered of effect
ing that end. We shall continue faithful in that
attitude. For the future, also, the Conledera-
tion OF the North will hasten to comply with all
the necessities of the Southern Governments
relative to the extension and consolidation OF
the relations between the South and North OF
Germany. But we will leave to our allies of
the South every liberty Of resolution as TO the
measure in which this mutual understanding is
TO be effected.
We believe we can maintain this point of view
with so much the more tranquility that we see
in the relations created by the existing treaties,
and which find their expression in the alliances
concluded, and in the complete re-establish-
ment of the Zollverein, basis, assured in fact
and right, for the autonomic development OF
the national interests of the German population.
beg you to express yourself in this sense to the
Government to which you are accredited, and l
authorize you to read this despatch.
French Diplomacy Hedged I'm and Re-
stricted by Italy and Prussia.
From He Paris UpiUers, September 81.
The Cabinet of the Tuileries is duly warned
by Count Bismark's circular; it must not con-
sern itself with what is going or in Germany.
point worthy of remark is that Count Bis
mark is repeating in Germany, to the advantage
of Prussia the situation which the Cabinet OF
the Tuileries had created in Italy to the profit
OF Piedmont and Victor Emanuel and which
ended in the unifcation of Italy, to the benefit
OF the Sardinian dynasty When an ambitious,
waFlike, and preponderRrUg po Wer finds itself
surrounded by States of secondary order, and is,
as 1t were, confined within walls through which
no influence or assistance from abroad can pene-
trate there is no need to be prophet TO pre-
dict that within a certain time the strongest
power will absorb all the Others
1t Is something like wolf shut up In sheep
fold The wolf Of the Italian fold was Pied
mont; and that of Germany is Prussia. The
Pledmontese wolf did its work, while the Cabi
net of the TulleIies kept watch on the frontier
to prevent Austria from entering; the PrusslaI
wolf will do its own in due time, owing to the
forethought of Count de Bismark, VINO took
care to stipulate in the last treaty that Austria
should not enter into Germany and who nov
declares that between the Germans of the NORTH
and the South he will not allow any foreign iu
tervention. 1t is only question of time, appe
tite, and digestion.
AS we should be just towards every one, even
towards our enemies, we are obliged to acknoW
