The Austrian Premier, Count Beust, has been delivering a speech
to the Hungarian Delegation which is not calculated to soothe North-German susceptibilities. He says that the relations of Austria with France are most friendly, that, in fact, since the loss of Lombardy the "interests of the two countries have become identical," which, considering that France and Prussia are supposed to be hostile, is not likely to be an acceptable statement for Berlin. Further, though he loves France, he does not love Prussia. He has tried hard to establish cordial relations, but has "not been met by Prussia in a similar' spirit," which little remark he telegraphs over Europe. If he is not sincere, Count Beust is adding fuel to the fire of Prussian suspicion ; if he is, he is taking a very odd way to woo. They are not strong men who moan up and down the street that Angelina has refused them.
