PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Sul. 5.

The Prussian Cabinet has addressed a despatch
to the Italian government notifying the conclusion
of peace with Austria, and adding that Prussia
desires the strengthening of her present cordial
relations with Italy. The Italian Cabinet replied
assuring the Prussian government that it attached
the highest importance to the maintenance of a
good understanding with Prussia, and that it
would neglect nothing which might strengthen the
friendship between the two countries. By the

obtains about 20 square mile, of territory, with
60,000 inhabitants. Upper Hesse will form part
of the North German Confederation, and the navi-
gation tolls on the Rhine and Maine will be abo-
lished. The formal negotiations for the conclusion
of a treaty of peace between Prussia and Saxony
' have commenced. The negotiations with Saxe-
Meiningen, relative to the latter's entry into the
North German Confederation, have been broken off.
