SAVOY QUESTION.
' The present position of the German Powers with reference to this question is thus stated in a telegram'from Frankfort, dated May 16:— The1' probabilities of the 'assembling of a Conference have lately diminished, the German iPowers being of opinion that it would not,in any way influence French policy, nor arrange any real guarantee in favor of Switzerland. the following are their reasons ; the annexation of Savoy to France having practically/done away with the guarantee contained in article 92 of the Final act of' Vienna, that article could not form the basis of a Conference. The cession Of the littoral of .the Lake of Geneva to Switzerland would not constitute any guarantee of military importance. It is not likely that at the Conference the opposition of the great Powers to the. annexation of Savoy woulclbe unanimous. Even if it were, France having accomplished the annexation, notwithstanding the opposition, of public opinion in Europe, would also not be influenced by the opinion of the great Powers, more especially as they have resolved upon acting with moderation, aud without, coercion, towards France. , ;.
