Statements, upon presumed official authority, have
been hazarded in London, and apparently corrobo-
rated by telegraphic messages from Vienna, to the
effect that Austria is once more in full accord with
the other three powers in relation to the Turkish
question. On Wednesday last a despatch was pub
lisped in the English journals stating that Prussia
and Austria had acceded to the proptosals of the
British Mid French Crovernments, and a protocol has
been signed pledging the four powers jointly to
maintain the existing terntorial arrangements of
Europe, and inviting the belligerents to come to
terms by menus of a European Conference.
Some "new project" for a treaty of peace was
said to have aniv..d in Vienna front London on Mon-
day, which had been approved by the representatives
of the four powers, and was forwarded next day,
through the medium of the Austrian Ambassador, to
the Porte. lt was said that little doubt existed
respecting the acceptance of this proposal I.y the
Sultan.

Still later advices considerably modify this 'repre
sentation of the actual state (if the relationship Ise
tweet' the several !silvers far as Austria is con
eerned. The tiiivernment of that country, it is said,
" ha‘ilig learned that it linil been puLlirh announced
in London, with a semblance of autlowity, that the
four powers had made a kind of alliiinec favourable
to Turkey, has lost not a moment in setting it.. 1.11
right with Russia. It has caused to lie published at
Vienna that (ally a collective note had been drawn
up, and that no mutual pledge had been given to
enforce its acceptance."
This official statement has heen backed by an or-
dinance prohibiting the exportation of anus from
.lustria to Turkey.

It is asserted in the most positive terms that the
Austrian Government is making preparations for
interfering, in an open and active manner, in the
affairs of Servia, the Prince of which, at the instiga-
tion of both Russia and Austria, has virtually re-
nounced his allegiance to the Sultan.
The indisposition of the King of Prussia prevents
him from presiding at the Council.
General Radowitz is much better.
