The meeting at Baden has not yet been followed by
any overt sequel. The manner in which it is construed in Vienna, how- ever, throws some light upon the business actually transacted. It is considered there that the meeting was conducive to the projects of Prussia, who, on the other hand, is regarded as hav- ing given pledges not to take the extreme anti-Austrian view suggested in Gotha. The meeting, therefore, is considered to have ended in a compromise, guaranteeing the safety of Austria in Germany, but tending to the advantage and supremacy of Prussia in the same region. To a certain extent this is a very natural view of the proceeding. We are bound to observe, how- ever; that, in Vienna, those who write for London papers are viewed with such jealousy by the authorities that they seldom attain to any actual information on the spot. On the other hand, our own information from the North of Germany supplies a more specific explanation of the Baden meeting, and one which has not yet been contradicted by anything which we have learned from other quarters.
