Seml-ofncla newspapers of Vienna throw out

journal de 81. Petersburg stated that the pow

and That no Inference might be drawn from
this Tact in the direction of the Austrian occu
patton OF Bosnia, which is regarded as a strong
hint that Russia would not sanction the latter
measure. The Berlin Journals however are
full of sarcastic criticism of AuStra's position,
They say that the occupation of Adakaleh is
all that Austria could do to remind Russia of
her claims. while the Russo English agreement
was perfecting for the protection of Russian
and English interests. Austria. therefore.
seems unable longer to effectually take care OF
herown and German interests in the East The
semi Official North German Gazette does not
adopt this tone. On the contrary il advocates
the formation OF independent principalities
out OF Turkeys European provinces under a
dlrect Austrian prOtectOrate. The relations of
The Norm German Gazette with Prince Bis
marck causes attention to be drawn TO this
suggestion. Count AndraSSy, recapitulating
TO the Austrian delegation yesterday the
points OF the treaty which had been brought
TO the notice OF Russia and the other powers
as chiefly affecting Austrian interests, said as
regarded the extension of Bulgaria, the devel-
opment OF the Christian peoples i'm the East
was not prejudicial TO Austria or Europe but
the establishment of a state destitute of the
conditions OF peaceful existence, and which
might Cypress other natiOnalities, was quite
another thing. Turkey should be preserved i'm
what remained OF her after the settlement.
Inc TWO years occupation OF Bulgaria was
too long, and the extension of Seryia and
Montthegro should be so arranged as not to
interfere with AuStria'S natural communica-
lions with the East.
