nized the expression of a desire to cultivate the
Europe has more reasons for 'sssr existence Than IN
any other, and Is oae which the future Is
likely 70 bring about. unless uiTamon-
hand Ia France. With regard to an alliance between
Prussia and Austria II is simply not to be thought
of. Even formal cordality between the two conrts
must be OF a hollow character. Prussan paper
gives the glst of the whole question IN recent
arucle In which II IS stated thai until Austria shall
have sincerely and truly given up all idea OF med,
ding in the affairs OF Germany there can be no
friendship between Vienna and Berlin, 1ne pras-
slams still believe that Austria not only wishes TO
medde, but does actually meddie in German affairs,
III different ways-that the House OF Hapsburg mas
net yet resigned itself 10 the position marked out for
it p,' Count Bismarck. Close observers OF German
politics are agreed that the Vienna government has
not yet N up the Datte and that If the Southern
States could be won over Austria might still come
ont ahead Tha. tie rivalry between the two German
captas exists NJ one doubts. The following ex-

IL is to be understood OF course that Austria for
appearance sake, could not be on terms OF even
apparent cordially with Prussia immediately after
the fatal year OF 1855. Now, however, the DAYS Of
mourning are passed, and 1t would DO foolish Tor
the TWO German capitals to be estranged from each
other any longer. Nothing Is To be gained by
enmlty ana moaning Is to be lost by apparent friend
ship. The Crown Prince was going 10 the East; his
road lay through Austria, and, ike o sensible man.
he took occasion to make visit to the Austrian
Emperor. The apparent friendship OF Austria will
not prevent the South German States from Joining
Prussia; on the contrary, may help on the move
ment. Count Beust, who, according to o newspaper
report told deputy to the Bohemia Parliament
that ne had PERSUADED Napoleon to be more liberal
IN constitutional measures may rest assured OF his
position, since the world Is at peace, aud bs able
bring more pressure to bear the refractory oppo-
sltion IN Austria, which Insists on rejectng consLtu
tonS having their origin mostly in Vienna.
IN FORMER letter mentioned that the Mayor OF
Prague had resigned in consequence OF not being
stry with regard to qualifying new voters previous
late Mayor has been elected by vote OF seventy
two against ten. This Is very positive demonstra
ton.
The success of the Bohemian opposition has given
renewed strength TO the opposition everywhere
throughout Austria. In Poland Vienna is supported
BY majority OF only three and am informed that
II 1t were not for Jobbing In projected railroads and
Other such aerial enterprises even this microscopic
majority would disappear.
IL may be truly said that constitutonalism as now
organized IN Austria hangs on thread. Radical
reforms are talked OF. They are the only means OF
escaping defeat and failure.
