the dispatch of Bismarck notifying the cabinet
at Vienna of the completion of German unity,
and expressing the hope that the good relations
established between the two countries by the trca

timent of qualification with which the Austrian
government notices the chancellOr'S friendly al
lusious to the treaty, but he prefers not to enter
at the present moment, on a formal
discussion of the features of that COM
pact. The baron passed to n consideration
of the restoration of the German empire, and
takes the standpoint that the unity of Germany,
accomplished under the leadership of Prussia
is an act OF historical significance and para
mount importance. He affirms that the restora-

faction by the people of Austria, but is person
ally gratifying to the emperor, Francis Joseph

the emperor only with feelings of the warmest
sympathy and with the best wishes for the
future Of the German nation.
