COUNT BIsMARCK's VIEWS OF EUROPEAN
POI ITICS


We are authorized to extract the following from
the letter of an American gentleman who recently
was present at q conversation with Count Bismarck,
in which the latter frankly stated his relations with
the Continental Powers
Az regards ROumania he said he had written 10
Prince Charles telling him 10 take the late King
Leopold of Bel gum for his model 70 give up all hope
of an extension Of his territory and 10 administer
his government win strict regard TO existing
European treaties; that II he not inclined to do
this, nothing left for him but TO go home TO his
father This letter the cause OF the change just
made in the policy of that Prince. Count Bsmarcks
representations accordingly 10 the Austrian Minister
here of this proceeding. and Of his position toward
Hungary, had the effect of causing the latter TO
press his satisfaction with the peaceful intentions Of
this government.
Count Bismarck said the alliance with Russia was
one looking to a continuance of peace and had no
reference to a state Of war.
As to the South German States. he said it was his
intention to leave to them entirely the question OF
their admission TO the Confederation; that it would
not be long before they would come knocking at the
door Until then he hoped Germany would be closer
and closer drawn together by common legislation
and through the Customs Parliament.
