Prussia cOuld with difficulty he made without treat
ing of the relations between North and South Ger
many, and certainly no stipulation would he made
by Prussia which should limit the right claimed tC
enter into any agreement with the South German
States which might be deemed advisable. / regard
this accommodation as not only in the interest OF
Prussia and Austria but also of German unity, and
assurance to the national party of Baden that
the advances il proposes to make dnrng the present
session of the Chambers will not be SO cody re-
ceived as those made heretofore. Certainly the
National Liberals of the North will do what they can
to provide for them favorable reception.
THE ATTEMPT AT RECONCILIATION BETWEEN
.. AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA. ...
BERLIN Oct 1O-I am now able 10 give you tOler-
ably full and very trustworthy details of the effort
to bnng abOut more friendly relations between the
Courts of Berlin and Vienna There is no truth
whatever in the report that Count Bismarck is in dis
fayor-nOt the least in the world, Let me assure
you, by way of introduction that Count Bismarck
now as much as ever controls the foreign policy OF
this Government. Nothing of any importance is
done at the Foreign Office without his opinion hav-
ing first been obtained Those two notes regarding
Austria, signed by Herr Won Thile, aud remarkable
for their acrimony, were dictated by him. Herr
Won Thile has just returned from Varzin, where he
was receiving his instructions from his chief to as
sumo the nominal direction Of foreign affairs; and
three days ago q Councillor of legation whose re-
latons with tho Minister President are
has been the medium of intercourse
between VarZn and Berlin, returned to Berlin, and
will tonight commence journey to Vienna ON
mission from Count bismarck. As the chief minister
of the present King of Prussia, Count Bismarck is
the representative of absOlutism. Up to the war Of
1896 he had no occasion to profess inclination to
liberalism; but that campaign closed without leav-
ing his country single friend among the Great Pow
ers of Europe and in order to maintain possession OF
what he had acquired he had to be alert against
the movements Of at least two hostile Powers
France and Austria. During last Winter and
Spring the Government was constantly dreadng
some act on the part of those Powers which
would seriously endanger the peace. 1t was
for this reason that they were so DESTROYS
OF general disarmament but afraid to completely
disarm without assurances of like intention on the
part of their enemies This state of affairs Jed Count
Bismarck TO desire as compact majority as pos
sbe in the various legislative bodies that he would
like TO CONTROL and, with his accustomed moderation,
he was willing 10 make concessions TO liberalism,
though with reluctance and 10 such extent alone
absolutely requisite to obtain the support of
majority of representatives; and to this Is to be
ascribed his retreat 10 NarZn, and his evident pur
pose of sacrificing two of bis colleagues in the min
istry to the clamOr of the liberals for very great
storm was DTeNig 70 burst IN this present session
Of the Prussian Chamber
the illness Of the Emperor of France. Austria saw
clearly that in depending upon French alliance they
were leaning upon staff that was at least flexible
aud most probably rotten to the core; Count Bs-
marck on that account and by reason OF the reyolu-
ton I'm France was relieved from many 9pprehen-
sons of her hostility, and for the peaceful liberal de-
velopment of Prussia only too promptly avaled MN
self OF the advantage given him to make peace with
Austria With an audacity almost amounting TO
eiirontery, he has employed his enemies to
carry out his designs by suggesting 10
the King who readily gave his consent,
that the Crown Prince be requested TO include
Vienna in his journey to the East and advance as lar
as possible, by his friendly intercourse with that
court the mission intrusted TO him. He appears to
have been very successful and to have continued his
journey with the conviction that the Emperor KING
is well disposed to the purposes OF his court. 30
much for the duty Of the Courts 10 now rests with
10 perfect what has 30 auspelonsly
begun and the Councillor whom have already men
toned undertakes his journey 20 this end.
