The Name Mete de Handaterg publishes the Ist of
the oossamicatioa kid by Austria before the )iet at

Frankfort on the 9th tali.:

In conformity with the erten of his Murk the Inperial
Envoy, predding at the Dist, has the /maw to skiver to
the distinguished useably espies of a dispatch Mdressed
by the Imperial Cabinet on the 16th Del. last to Count Er •
tides', the Austrian Envoy at Mk. Petersham, md of a
document from the Etudes. Chancellor, Count Neuelrode,
dated Jan. 16, and addressed to Count Esterksrf.
The Diet will observe by these documents that the
Imperial Court, after radio Atoll is agreement wok the
governess% of Frasee and Great Britala spas the prell-
nliaarke 01 a pease, which those Faller. Sad it con-
formity with the objest of their alliance, end the
general isoprene of Europe—has urgently recommended
the aseeptaani of these coaditions to the Court of Bt.
Petersburg, end that his Majesty the Emperor of Bemis,
moved by the desire ti restore the bleating. of peace to his
empire and to the world, has desidel to &dhoti unreser-
vedly to the Amadei' proposition.
. .

The rumours of a ministerial modification, which
have been only feebly contradicted by the ministerial
journals, are not improbable, when we consider the
difference of opinion which the propounding of such
serious and delicate questions as the above won likely
to provoke. However, nothing definite was known
on the subject at the date of this letter.
Count Cavour set out for Paris on the evening of
the 13th, and the Turkish Ambassador was to take
his departure the next day.
Oa the 14th the Senators and Deputies gave a ban-
quet to General La Marmara. After the repast the
General was saluted with the loudest scale mations
by the people.

The Wirral envoi ha; leatnetime remover, to tran►
nit a ropy of a paced signed at Viten. on Febniary 1,
which state. that the representative. of Austria, Prance,
Great rßritain, Ramis and Turkey lave parapbrand the

warn of three weeks, at Isnot, to order to proceed to the

It is a lively ea fidaetion for the Emperor Francis Joseph
to he able to express in the midst of the rivonaments of
deirmsay the hope that the mem% at kngth draws nigh

ceive a petal' gelatin. His lispity G ciaviseal before-

august friend and ally of the Imperoe, has employed all its
influence in order I. bring Busk b soacillatory decisions,
and that the Isnrsage Otis other Guinea Courts, szpreeeed
