PRUSSIA AND AUSTRIA.

Interesting Document of the King Of Prussia
and the Emperor Of Austria.
The Gazette Of SaIonU appearing at Lepsic pub
lshes two letters which, If authentic, throw new
light on the policy Of the Prussian government dur
Ing the few weeks which preceded the campaign Of
Sadowa- The first, from King William addressed
TO the Emperor OF Austria and dated the LIST June,
1S6o, is as fOllows:--
We are at this moment both armed and ready to
enter the 1eld. The world believes that we shall
hight each other. Let US show that German sover.
eigns know no haIrcd TO each other, and that they
desire only The welfare OF the country Let us unite
our forces and march together across the Rhine
against 'the hereditary enemy OF GERMANY by
that means we shall arrive at such reorganization
the people Your majesty Will then unite under his
sceptre the States OF the SOUTH while shall become
the master OF Northern Germany and of the French
Rbenish provinces OF German origin situated on the
other side OF the Rhine Asace and Lorrane). II we
attain that object the future OF Europe will be In our
hands.
The answer OF the Emperor of Austria was thus
= worded:-
Your Majesty proposes ito me to unite our forces
now on war footing, against France, and at the
same time You appeal to my honor as q German
. union OF the German southern States under AVS.
tTia. As q German prince must reply that nv
ideas and my feelings forbid me to deprive the CO.
federate allies Of Austria the chiefs OF German ma
tons, OF their sovereign rights.

General Baron de Gablenz. ave shalI,r adds the
