mediate has thus far met with no success.
An impression seems to have gained ground
In England that Bismarck's efforts are put
forward at this juncture for an Interior
purpose. aud that his object Is. not 80
much to secure peace for the sake Of peace.
- to re-establish the triple alliance be-
tween the Russian. Austrian and German
Emperors, and thus leave Great Britain
