VIENNA, August 19.-Baron Won
Buest has replied to the recent note
of Herr Won Thielef Acting Prussian
Minister of Foreign Affairs. He as
serts that he thought verbal expla-
nation sufficient to remove any mis-
understanding betE cen the two gov
ernments, and desired to avoid a use-
| less corr spondence. The Prime Min.
lister insists that what he said IN
the Council was Of private character.
Transactions of the Parliamentary
Council are not within the control of
foreign governments. He declines to
enter into discussi9h of what was
said there, but will not withhold
his opinion on questions caused by
inaccurate newspaper statements re-
ferring to the Interpretation by the
Vienna Cabinet of military treaties
between Prussia and the South Ger
man States. He says that in con-
ciliatory dispatch sent by the Aus
trian Minister at Berlin, In March,
1867, nothing was said as to whether
the treaty with Prague prevented the
Southern States from concluding
treaties with the other States Of Ger
many, butit was stated that certain
agreements preceding the signature Of
the treaty were concerned, making 1t
impossible to decide whether the
clause relating to the international
independence of the Southern States
were omitted as a matter Of no I'M
portance, or because its importance
was SO great that it should have been
otherwise worded.
Baron Won Beust does not admit
that ne should be called to account
for words which newspapers allege
were uttered by him; yet he is VIII
ing, in order to soften and remove
any existing unpleasantness, to enter
into correspondence in regard to con-
ciliatory endeaYors made on either
side during the last year, which has
possibly been misconstrued. The cir
cumstance that there had been no
intercourse between Count Won
Wimpffen, the Austrian Ambassador
at Berlin, and Count Won Bismarck,
for some time, is alluded to.
