1855. by the New York Associated
ressl.-The Reichstag will re- assemble
Tuesday, when business will open with
a discussion of the budget and the loan
for the reconstruction of the navy.
The speech from the throne con-
tinues to fill the public mind. The
exaggerated optimism regarding the
abiding place replaces the pessiomist
forebodings current prior to the
delivery of the speech The speech is
undoubtedly as pacific as the forecast
given last week, butitis misinterpreted,
if endowed with the character Of it
being an absolute assurance of peace.
The most significant passage in the
paragraph referring to foreign relations
was the Emperor's declaration that his
aim was an assurance of
"PEACE AND GOOD WILL
to the best of our endeavors." There is
nothing here beyond the protest, so far.
THAT it depends upon the Emperor
whether his policy will be pacific. The
concluding sentence, referring to the
confidence shown in His Majesty during
his tour, as justifylng the nope of his
being able, with Gods hell, to maintain
peace in Europe, has been read rs indi-
eating a promise that the Gear, besides
the allied mOnarchs, will assist in pre-
serving peace. 1t is officially known
that the Emperor did not intend TO con-
Vey the impression other than that he
and his allies earnestly desired to avoid
war.
The semi-0ficiaI Post and Cologne
Gazette are trying to tone down the
public feeling to lower pitch. The
Post warns Germany that the situation
does not justify the sangulne e1pec-
lance that
PEACE IS PERMANENT;
that it is foolish to suppose war de-
ponds alone upon the decision of sover-
eigns; that the difficulty threatened is
not France alone, and that the EN-
peror's language means simply that he
is preparing wi tn resignation to face
the most serious task that can be placed
on the chief of a great nation.
The Cologne Gazette says: 1.-The
z speech is pacific only as far as We and
.z{1nr allies are concerned, and is re-
whose deci sions we have no influence"
The Austrian official FremdenbLGtt
says the manifesto passes over Ge:-
many's military apparatus In silence,
and it is so well known as to render
reference to it suparfiuous. The En-
peror tells us simply Germany will not
have to
ENDURE THE NIsERIEs OF WAR
unless she cannot help it. These reli-
able comments are already assisting to
counteract. the fantastical reports to the
effect that Prince Bismarck is feeling
his way to general disarming
From Vienna papers comes the ru-
NOR that the chiefs of the German EN-
pire have so decid ID the results of a
war that they are ready to make sacri-
fees to secure Fatherland against ag-
gression. These unworthy sugges ions
appear TO refer to the surrender of
Alsace-Lorralne, which is an impossl-
biIity while Germany remains unified.
In the meantime, instead of preparing
