The last intelligence from Germany informs us,
that there exists a good understanding between
&gland and Austria, and that this last Power still
continues its preparAtions; that the garrison of Vi-

eana Iras already set oat ; that the tenkes-wasse of
Assisi* Prepav ameenes te 40 battaliems ; and diet
• the clerks have left their °aces I. join the artery.
Nevertheless, in spite of all these reports, we do not
yet despair of maintaining peace, which will be
owing to the Emperor Alexauder, who has offered
Nis good mcesto the two Imperial Courts to ex-
plain the points iu litigation between them.—(Jour-
