ITALY.

ROME, Dec. 6.
The official invitations are to be delivered
simultaneously by the French and Austrian
Ambassadors. According to a telegram received
from Vienna, the courier bearer of the Austrian
invitations will not arrive at Rome until the 10th
instant.

Le .N rd says the exiled sovereigns and the
present chiefs of the Governments of Central
Italy will plead their cause before the Congress
by notes and memorials.
The Tuscan Monitore says that the Congress
will find Italy resolved to maintain her rights.
The Central Italians are better armed than they
were at the end of the war, and will persevere in
defending a strong Italian kingdom and a national
union, which will efface old divisions.
The electoral agitation throughout Piedmont
and Lombardy, at the present time, is unprece-
dented. At Milan all associations, and all trade
clubs, have been transformed to electoral com-
mittees.

GERMANY.

CASSEL. - The Hessiche Morgenzeitung an-
nounces that the proposal of M. Frott and Keu-
dell to solicit the electors' consent to the re-
establishment of the constitution of 1852, in con-
formity with the joint declarations of both cham-
bers in July 1857, has been referred by the first
chamber to a special commission.

BAVARIA.
DRESDEN, Dec. 8.
The Dresden Journal of to-day publishes a
semi-official article on the subject of the Con-
ferences at Wurzburg.
The article says that, as there is no unity
between the great German Powers, the Con-
ferences tend to satisfy the general wish for a
more vigorous and energetic attitude of the
Federal Diet. Numerous and great results which
have been obtained at these Conferences will
soon become perceptible. The Conferences had
nothing to do with any proposal for a change in
the Confederation.
