It is perhaps idle to make any conjectures on the results of the interview of the three Emperors in Berlin, Germany; and it is a remarkable fact that so far nothing has transpired of the conversations held. between the three sovereigns and their ministers. The secret has been so well kept that journalists have been thrown back on their imagination and their instinct. For the present day, it may be said that the moral director and ruler of European politics, the arbiter of the European Continent, is Prince Otto von Bismarck. Whatever was done and said at Berlin was said and done under his influence and under his control. The key of the interview of the three Emperors must, therefore, be sought in the character and opinions of Prince Bismarck himself. Bismarck, who knows all the forces of the times, had secured many allies in the press of Vienna, Austria. Some of the leading papers of the Austrian capital are more Prussian than the papers of Berlin. The Jews, who are very numerous in Vienna, and very influential, are all his allies, as Bismarck represents in their eyes the cause of religious freedom.

The article describes the political conditions in the Europe. The state of Belgium becomes disquieting and protected by the engagements made by Europe in 1834, that it realized the maxim. Belgium was able to preserve her integrity not only during the golden days of the reign of Louis Philippe, but even during the Second Empire, though Napoleon III was bent on changing everything in the Old World. Its neutrality was respected during the terrible war between France and Germany in 1870. No external danger seems to have threatened its existence since it received its official recognition from diplomacy. After the great wars of Napoleon, it was felt that a barrier, a strong barrier must be placed against France on the north, and the kingdom of the Netherlands was created by the allied sovereign.

It is somewhat singular that the history of the wars and of the diplomacy of the eighteenth century is, in many respects, less known than the history of earlier times. This is owing to the complications of the questions which were treated, to the shifting character of the alliances, to the disturbing elements brought into the politics of Europe by the ruling power of the house of Brandenburg. The eighteenth century may be defined as an age of transition--a great and confused preparation for the French Revolution, which disturbed all the foundations of the old equilibrium. Duc de Broglie is studying the history of the hidden diplomatic correspondence of Louis XIV, in the volumes entitled "Le Secret du roi."

From such persons one might reasonably expect to learn lessons of political wisdom or to receive remarkable forecasts of the future of Europe.
