BERLIN, Sept. 25th.-The semi
official organ, the North German
Gazette, says the importance of the
political relations between Ger
many and Austria has continued
to Increase the last few years. It
was, therefore, an absolute necessi-
ty that the Chancellor should be
assured of the permanence of the
existing friendly relations. The
news of Andrassy's resignation
made a great impression on him,
and the inquiry into the causes
and results of this resignation was
so important to him that he was
not satisfied with written informa-
ton on the subject but entered into
direct communication with An
Grassy and his successor, to obtain
an assurance Of the good will of
Austria from the highest authori-
ty. The exchange of views which
took place afforded complete salts
faction to all parties. The identi-
cally peaceful policy of the two
Emperors and a mutual friendly
understanding regarding their
economical interests, have by
means of this conference of their
leading ministers again received
the guarantee which is afforded by
confidence and good will.
