DENUNCIATION OF AUSTRIAN HYPOCRISY.

London, April 6, said:-"I have no doubt that Count Czsrain now stands for Prussian ideale and policy, With great audacity he claims not to desire annexstions, but new states have been at ap without the slightrat regard to the wishes of the people. "The most hypocritical part of the Russian peace terms is that these effect not to impose an indemnity, yet in reality they impoes one of the bestiat: indemaities ever erected, because the new atatea are not under »ny obligation towards Rossia as regards old Russia's debts and thereby the whole debr, which was hitherto spread over the whole cf Ramis. is concentrated on what now remsing of Russie. I confess that I prefer Prasian brutality to Austrisa hypocrisy. If you are going to rob and strangle your neighbour it is better not to mik of your mcderation!
