?t negJciation, which derives considerable in-'
terest from the peculiar Wale of Continental Politics,
is now pending between Austria and Emote, it re-

and to certain petty German Princes. Bost AP/titre
has hitherto evaded ail discussion on the subject.
while Austria has, with equal constancy. demanded
their adjustment. The busi ess has become in-
volved in a good deal of difficulty from the pertina-
city of each party; and to this is to be attributed
LAVRISTOM'S recent journey to Vienna.
