We read in the Cuurrier Francais:" It may be re-
membered that we mentioned some time since theta
Austrian envoy had passed through Paris on his
way to London, and that it was the same who
had previously visited the head-quarters of Charles
Albert. We are now enabled to give some details
of the negotiations which are taking place. It
appears certain that in spite of her successes Austria

Venetian territory, but on two conditions, the
first being that Lombardy shall not be united to the
Sardinian states, and the second that she will be no
