recent policy OF the imperial government towards
the belligerents In France.
The members OF the Ministry remain very vgilant

quence.

cable telegram to the HERALD that In the AustrO-
Hungarian Diet the government was attacked by
the opposition for not intervening In favor OF France

Count Andrassy, IN reply, defended the course Of
the government In the course Of his remarks the
Premier said that at was the care OF the govern
ment for the real interests Of the monarchy that
prevented the use Of ITS good Onlces between
the belligerents. The government ould only fol.
