THE PROPOSED ARMISTICE.
PARIS, JULY 7.

The France of this evening states that the King
of Prussia has accepted the proffered mediation of
the Emperor Napoleon, but reserves the conditions
of the proposed armistice, respecting which in-
structions will be sent to the Prussian representa-
tive in Paris.

The Temps of this evening says :—" The armis-
tice has been accepted by Prussia and Italy. The
principal conditions are as follows The Prussian
armies to retain possession of their present posi-
tions, and the troops to be supported at the ex-
pense of the country occupied. Austria is not to
increase her forces in Bohemia, or in the other
countries of the Germanic confederation. Italy to
occupy one of the fortresses of the Quadrilateral.'"
The Patric of this evening says :—" The reply
of the King of Prussia thanks the Emperor Napo-
leon in cordial terms, and announces that his Ma-
jesty would send instructions to Baron Goltz with-
out delay. Baron Goltz had a long interview to-
day with M. Drouyn de Lhuys. Italy has laid
down as the condition of her acceptance of the
armistice the immediate occupation by her troops
of two fortresses of the Quadrilateral."
La Francs and the Petrie both deny that an
order has been issued for the Toulon fleet to sail
for Venice.

PARIS, JOLT &

The Monitewr of this morning says :—" The
negotiations for the conclusion of an armistice
between the belligerents are being actively con-
ducted."

The Patrie of this evening says :—" The King of
Prussia has accepted in principle the Emperor's
proposal for an armistice. His Majesty declares
that the sentiments of mutual confidence existing
between the governments of France and Prussia
cause him to accept readily the mediation of the

Emperor. The King thanks his Majesty, and
concludes his reply es follows :—` I have sent a
despatch to Count Boltz, empowering him to settle
the oonditions of an armistice, which can only be
concluded in concert with the King of
Italy."' The Pat rie further states that the
two principal conditions of the armistice
are, first, that special facilities should be
assured for provisioning the Prussian army ; and,
secondly, the free occupation of the lines of rail-
way in the north-east of Bohemia radiating from
Pardubitz.
The authorities at Toulon have not received
orders for the despatch of the squadron in the port, I,
but are to hold themselves in readiness, in wee of
need, to arm 10 steam vessels, with a certain
number of frigates and corvettes.
La Prance of this evening believes itself able to
state that the Derby Cabinet has strongly recom-
mended Italy to accept the mediation of the
Emperor Napoleon.

ST. PETERSBURG, JULY 7.

The Journal de St. Peterabourg of to-day, in an
article upon the armistice, says :—" We think
that the armistice might effect a reconciliation
if there were not a monarchy in Europe
which believes itself to be sufficiently strong to
compel the assent of Europe to its conquests in
Germany, forgetting that there still exist strong
and united powers in Europe to whom the Eu-
ropean balance of power is not a mere empty
word."

AMSTERDAM, JULY 7.

Is was asserted on the Bourse to-day that Prussia
had accepted the armistice proposed by the Em-
peror Napoleon.
BERLIN, JULY 7.

The assertion of La France that France has
recommended Italy not to attack Venetia, is dia-
credited here.

VIENNA, Juts 7, Emma.
There is good prospect of an armistice being
concluded for six weeks.

VIENNA. JULY 8.

The semi-official Oesterrekkiache Zeitung of to-day,
in an article upon the state of the pending nego-
tiations for the conclusion of an armistice, says :
" When Field Marshal von Benedek, on the even-
ing of the battle near Koniggrats, sent General
von Gablenz to the Prussian headquarters, it is per-
fectly clear that there could only be a prospect of
a military and not a political arrangement, and',
that it was then only a question of a truce, not
an armistice. Since then a fact of higher
importance has occurred, Franoe having of-
fered to Austria and Prussia her mediation for
the conclusion of an armistice which may lead
to the re-establishment of peace. Austria and
Prussia have accepted this mediation, and hence-
forth it becomes a question of negotiation for that
purpose with France. These negotiations have not
yet been terminated."

THE ABYSSINIAN CAPTIVES.
ALEXANDRIA, JULY 7.

Intelligence received here from Abyssinia an-
nounces that the departure of the European captives
has again been delayed by the Emperor Theodore.
Their fate depends upon the result of the inisaion
of Mr. Flad to the British government, requesting
on behalf of the Emperor the assistance of England
in the event of war between Egypt and Abyssinia.
The Emperor is unpopular, and the country is in a
state of brigandage.

Monmouth, the sir counties of South Wales, Montgomery,
Merioneth, Carnarvon, Anglesey, Wigtown, Bute, Argyll,

have been reported as occurring during the week. Seven
counties show an increase of 14 cases ; and 15 coun-
ties, " the Metropolis," and the 3 Ridings of Yorkshire,
show a decrease of 159 cases. In the aggregate more than
50 (501) in every 1,000 of the ordinary stock of cattle in
Great Britain have been attacked, and to every 1,000
attacks, whose results have been reported, 861 animals
perished. 1.7 p to the date of this return 5,002 sheep have
been reported as attacked by the diadem), being an increase
