Some persons have doubted the authenticity of the A . inistice lot weeti France and Austria, signed at Zinsini, on the ICth instant. We hail con►idered the subject, and were prepared to paint nut several inaccuracies mid iufarrn•ditiea in the instrument, as published in the (27th French Bulletin, some of which were calculated to give. strength to this opt- Mon. From this task, however, we have been re lieved, by the arrival of the Bulletin published by the Austrian Ambassador, in The Berlie Gtnette, which we insert this day ; anti ithio Inc the concur rent tet , :tmoily of several other articles, from public Journals and private Utter,, front Gerruat.y.
