The news OF the Prussian victories has produced
profound sensation throughout the length and
breadth Of Austria
In giving description Of the state OF public feel

from the Vienna papers. The Neue Frete Presse, in
Its leading article Of this morning. makes the fol.
lowing remarks:-

Cal slgnfcanceo these victories Is immense and Is
NOT to be Estimated at the present moment. Not
only Is the confidence OF the French army
broken, but the belief IN the superiority of
trench military genius and discipline, hitherto
existing III Europe, has disappeared. The attack

superior forces left the question sun open to
whether the skill OF the Germans In tact ca was
equal TO that OF the French, and whether the Prus

eriority was longer important and If the battle

strong position OF the French. AT saarbruck 1t

THE FOREIGN DIPLOMACY.
Nothing can exceed the surprise of the diplomats

that Austria IN 1866, in an enviabe condition in
comparion with France OF 1870 No man can

the majority are agreed-that there is something
awfully rotten In the French empire and tha, the
days of Napoleon are numbered
The leading articles Of the Vienna papers of the 18th
are more interesting than those of the day before
The Ne,Ie Freie PyeSse begins its leading article as

the policy OF Bismarck all faces are glad and the
breast OF every honest German beats higher at the
news OF the chastisement which the insolent enemy
has received. For weeks we have been regaled by
the Frcncn papers with stories of the excellence Of

The writer goes on further to say that it
would not be In accordance with the spirit
OF Germany to rejoice till the victory is en-
tirely won; that there is work ahead, and
that one must wait I'LL the last blow has been
struck. The conclusion OF tho article is that there
