Bismarck's IntrIsues with Austria.

A letter written from Berlin to q
London newspaper says that DR.. Helm
rich Friedjung is about to publish a
book on THE Struggle for Supremacy
in Germany, ~1s59-1S66," in which he
will give an account OF Information
given him by Prince Bismarck with
regard to the ex-Chancelloris proposals
to Austria in 1866, before the outbreak
of war, for a partition OF Germany be-
tween Austria and Prussia. AS both
overs were then armed to the teeth,
they could have imposed their will
upon Europe. The proposal, it is said,
was kept secret because 1t would have
involved the political subordination Of
the Bavarian crown to Austria. Prince
Bismarck went ever further, and, in
his own words. proposed that Prussia
and Austria should make a united at
tack upon France with a view to the
cession Of Alsace. Austria was to take
Strasburg. Prussia Mainz-the caicu-
lation being that Napoleon could do
nothing, his army having been demon
allied by the Mexican expedition.
