The Berlin Apeuir, an outspoken Republican paper
printed In French at the German capital after making
an argument against the annexation OF Asace and
Lorraine says in regard toIthe complications likely to
follow the present war:

A GERNAS-PRUssrAS ALLIANCE.
The Cologne Gazette publishes, on good authority,
communication from Berlin relative to the attitude OF
the neutral Powers which looks like bid for Russo
Prussian alliance The writer positively denies tho re-
port that England and Russia have proposed Congress
IN favor OF France. II says:
Russia has no idea OF interfering between the belll-
gerents, and the commercial policy OF 10rDd

Denmark led into a sensible policy toward Germany
and Austria prevented from reckessy following
the hankcrings OF Count Beust. The forced neutrality
OF Austria must also have Influenced the attitude OF
Italy. As for England she placed her com
mercla interests in the foreground throughout the
war" The writer adds that Prussia can accept
conditions OF peace that will not strategcay secure
the southwestern frontier Of Germany "The German

convinced that Congress at which other POYers would

be decisvey rejected in view OF the unayOable
and uDicndy attitude OF the States which have hitherto
been only compelled by necessity to remain neutral"
RUSSIA PAYING ITS REGARDS TO sAXoSY.
The London Post commenting the presentation Of
the military Order Of St. George by the Emperor Of
Russia upon the Crown Prince Of Saxony, thinks it
evidence OF good will TO Germany rather than effort
TO gain the good will OF SaxOny. IL says:
In conveying the intelligence TO the King or SaxOny
the Emperor Of Russia hopes hopes that the former Will

IL may be that political significance intended by
this act But negatively at all events, that significance
is to he observed. III Ruseia enterealnen any stray
