THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE ON THE
DANISH QUESTION.
VIENNA, FiL 25, Evcalio.

The semi-official Wiener Abendpost of to-day
says :—" France ban given in her adhesion to the
proposal of England for a conference. There is
reason to believe that RUMIa will likewise consent,
but from Denmark no reply has as yet been re-
ceived. The resolution of the Federal Diet will be
taken as soon as possible."

VIENNA, Fm. 25.

It is asserted that the political bases of the
Conference proposed by England are as follows :
"I. The European Powers guarantee the au-
tonomy as well as indi►isibility of the Duchies.
2. The territorial arrangements hitherto existing
are to undergo no change." Austria and Prussia
hare adhered in principle to the proposal, provided,
however, that the German Diet and France also as-
sent, and that the negotiations should not interfere
with the prosecution of hostilities.

THE FRANKFORT DIET AND TEE DANISH
QUESTION.

• TRANIEFORT-ox-rnmunqz. Y. 25.

At the sitting of the Fedetal Diet to-day,
Austria and Prussia proposed that the command
in chief of the army in Holstein should be trans-
ferred to Prussia. They also moved that two new
civil commissioners should be appointed by the
two great Powers. The propositions have been
referred to the committee, and are to be put to the
vote within eight days.
The report of the committee upon the succession
question also came on for debate to-day. Articles
1 and 2 of the proposals of the committee were
rejected. Articles 3 and 4, however, were adopted.
The governments which have taken part in the
Wurzburg Conference proposed that the Diet
should convoke the Holstein Estates.
The resolutions referred to above are as follows :
" 1. Thetthe treaty concluded upon May 8, 1862,
in London, with the object of settling a new order
of sucxertion to the States at that time united
under the sceptre of his Majesty the King of Den-
mark is in no degree of binding force upon the
German Confederation. 2. That the execution of
the treaty has not only been rendered impossible
by inter occurrences and the conduct of the Danish
government with regard to the German Duchies,
but that the Diet is also not in a position at present
to take this treaty by subsequent recognition as
the bards of its resolutions. 3. That, there-
fore, the proxy of his Majesty King Christian IX.
of Denmark presented by Privy Councillor Baron
von Birckinck-Holmfeld, and discussed at the
38th sitting of the Federal Diet on the 28th No-
vember last year, could not be accepted. 4. That
instruction should be given to the committee upon
the constitutional affairs of Holstein and Icruen
burg to prepare a further report with all possible
celerity upon the succession in these Duchies, foe
the purpose of arriving at a decision upon the
claims that have been put forward. The com-
mittee, in preparing this report, will not take as
[basis the treaty of May 8, 1852."

THE WURZBURG CONFERENCE.
DRESDEN, Fn. 25.

The official DreschterJournal of to-day confirms
the unanimity of the resolutions passed at the
Wurzburg Conference. It denies the statement
made by some of the German papers as to the ener-
getic and radical propositions asserted to have been
made by Baron von Roggenbach, the representative of
Baden, at the Conference. The DrestinerJournal adds:
"The governments represented at the Conference
started in their resolutions from the point of view
of avoiding everything that might tend to restrain
the prosecution of the war in Sleswig by the two
great German powers. On the other band, they
determined to support the views hitherto expressed
on the succession question, and to obtain their
realisation by all the means at the disposal of the
Diet." It has been decided that the resolutions
passed at the Conference should not be communi-
cated to the press.

ITALY AND THE DANISH WAR.
TURIN, FE& 25.

In the Chamber of Deputies to-day, the Minister
for Foreign Affairs, in reply to a question, said
that Denmark bas adhered to the maritime rights
agreed upon by the treaty of Paris. The Italian
government has been informed that Denmark had
blockaded the ports of iSleavrig and Holstein. The
minister assured the Chamber that nothing would
be neglected for the protection of Italian subjects.

THE " PATRIE" ON THE DANISH
QUESTION.

PARIS, FEB. 25, Evain.

The Patric of this evening, in an article signed
by DI. Delamarre, states " that France, in spite of
her sympathy for Denmark, ought not to hesitate
in recognising the wishes of the German populations
of Holstein and Sleswig to be incorporated with the
German nation." The Patrie continues, " Our
policy on the Elbe ought not to be different to that
we have on the Vistula and the Mincio. Should
Germany obtain this satisfaction, the other Danish
provinces would be united to Sweden for the pur-
pose of guarding the entrance to the Bahia The
principle of nationalities being thus established
Germany would have no reason not to apply it to
Poland and Italy."

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE (vu TVVS?E), F1A.19.

A convention between the English and Turkish
governments, relative to the portion of the new
Indian telegraph line which is to pass through the
Ottoman dominions, was signed on the 17th inst.

tity of arms from England and Vienna. It states
that they have been distributed by the Sultan to
the Imperial Guard and other troops, and remarks
upon this activity in keeping the defences of
Turkey in good order.
