BISMARCK VIEWS.
n Vienna correspondent, writing
der date of Feb. 10Th, asserts that h
STA eagerly deferred to Prince Bisman'
views, when the latter, at Austrias
licitation, intimated to Prince Gorty
koff that he was straining the sitnt
beyond reasonable bounds. The
respondent adds: "a rupture betvs
Austria and Russia was imming]

bund, an Anglo-Austrian combinal
was on the point of being ESTABLISH
1t suited Prince Bismarck to cen
extent that Austria and Russia sho
be at variance, but it was altogel
contrary to his calculations that AuS
should form separate alliance vi
England, and had he not been appe
to in time he would have expreI
himself before the German Pariaml
in terms that would have made matt
perfectly clear for all parties. Thd
are still wide Emergencies betss
Russia and Austria. Bismarck
