dered tobe rouiew-xd. In reference to the assembly of
aCongressand the positianof the onntondingNeuteal
Powers various ntatements are current, more espe-
-Many with respect to the plans of compensation
'that may be proposed. A telegram received here
from Paris states that Austria will discuss
the question of compensation under certain
fzeservations :westing the nature of such corn-
sensation. Prussia is said to be opposed to the
prezenoe of reprrsentativo of the Federal Diet at
'the Congre3a. General von Bendel and the
-Archduke Wilhelm start to-day for Olmutz. The
.negotiatiorri relative to the Anglo-Austrian treaty
•of commerce haw) been interrupted on account of
-the warlit o aspect of affairs. Differences are
reported s have occurred between the government

debt. The Azglo-Austrian Bank has published

a profit of 717,753 florins, and declares a dividend
'of from 9 to 10 per cent.

:promulgated, enjoining upon the troops of the

THE AUSTICIA N PUBLIC DEBT.
VIENNA, MAT 27, EVEN1:010.

Tho repot of the committoo for the ct.ntaol of
the public debt for the financial year 1865 has been
published ti.-day. It forms a lengthy document,
containing,a detailed report upon Austrian financial
operations. Respecting the latest of these, the
• report spears unfavourably. The committee point
.out that Vie loan of Norember, 1865, was
•contracted upon the most unfavourable and
onerous coeditions, and has increased the finan-
cial difficulties of the Empire. In conclusion, the
tommittee strongly urge that the co-operation in
the management of public finance of the national
representatik u, which has only been provisionally
suspended, ern no longer be dispensed with without
the gm :dust detriment to the public interests, par-
.tioularly in \eew of the imminent danger of war.
The re-establishment of a control of the public
debt by the Iteichsrath is therefore absolutely no-
ccomuy and should no longer be delayed.

PRUSSIAN IX:STITCH. TO WURTEMBERG.

BERLIN, MAT 27.

A despatch of Count I'm Bismarck has been
published to-day, dated %Ind inst., addressed to
the Prussian minister at Stt ttgard, in reply to the
Wurtemberg despatch of the 20th inst. Referring
to the intention therein announced by Wurtem-
berg, of joining Bauria in he• endeavours to pre-
serve peace, Count ca-m Bismarck observes that
Prussia cannot regard Wurteinberg as especially
entitled to urge. peace, since that State, together
with Austria and Saxony; first gave rise, by their
armaments, to the present criticalatate of affairs.
Count von Bismarck prowinently brings forward
the connexion of the Wurteinberg armaments with
the Austrian circular note of the .16th March,
wherein the States of the Confederntion were
called upon to mobilise their troops, tboreby also
causing the Prussian armaments, and creating the
danger of war. Had Austria, Saxony, and 'Wurteln-
berg not armed in March, matters could inanely
have assumed their present warlike aspect.
