VIENNA, Auausr 31, EVENING.
It is stated that Herr von Becke, Austrian
Minister of Finance, and the Hungarian ministry
have come to an understanding upon a proposal
relative to the amount of the public debt to be
allotted to Hungary. This proposal, as well as the
draft of the budget for 1868, is to be submitted to
the conference of delegates from the Hungarian
Diet and the Austrian Reichsrath.

Herr von Becke proceeds to-day to Gastein to
communicate to Baron von Beust the result of
the conference between himself and the Hungarian
ministers.

At a council of ministers, held under the presi-
dency of the Emperor, definitive resolutions have
been arrived at respecting: the question of the
public debt and the budget for 1i468.

VIENNA, Seri. 1.
It is stated that the principal obstacle to an
agreement between the Hungarian and Austrian
delegates consists in the declaration of the former
that, while willing that Hungary shall contribute
30 per cent. to the general expenditure of the
empire, they consider that she should only con-
tribute 22 per cent. towards the payment of the
interest on the public debt. Both these points are
declared inadmissible by the Austrian government
and by the Austrian delegates.
The Council of Ministers have agreed upon a
new scheme, which is to serve as a compromise
between the two divergent opinions prevailing in
the conference of delegates.
The New Free PTCSS asserts that an understand-
ing respecting the proportions of the national debt
to be respectively borne by Hungary and Austria
has been brought about between the ministers of
the two countries by the personal intervention of
the Emperor. It adds that it is intended to pro-
pose a provisional settlement of the budget of
1868.

Prince Carlos Anersperg is said to be willing to
accept the presidency of the Austrian ministry.
The formation of the new cabinet is expected to
