BERLIN, FRIDAY, MAY 11.

Count Esterhazy arrived yesterday.

It is rumoured that Austria is on the point
of proclaiming her neutrality, together with that
of all Germany. But the truth of the rumour
is greatly doubted.

VIENNA, SATURDAY, MAY 12.

There is a talk of the Western Powers having
raised their pretensions, by way of answering the
last Russian propositions.

VIENNA, MONDAY MORNING.

The formal rejection of the last propositions
made by Austria arrived here on Saturday. People
speak of counter-propositions, but if such there be,
they can only refer to the future policy of Austria.

FRANCE.
PARIS, SUNDAY.
The following private telegraphic despatches
were received yesterday :

" VIENNA, 12th.—Letters from Sebastopol state that
a great part of the allied fleets, with troops on board,
passed Yalta on the 4th, steering towards Anapa."
" MADRID, 11th.—The nomination of the successor of
the Minister of Spain at Washington, M. Cueto, has
been postponed until after the arrival of the next mail
from the Havannah."
The Court of Cassation, in its sitting of Saturday
afternoon, rejected the appeal of Pianori against
the sentence of death passed upon him by the
Court of Assizes of the Seine for his attempt
against the Emperor's life. The appeal was sup-
ported on behalf of Pianori by M. Delaborde, and
opposed by M. de Glos and the Procureur-General
M. de Royer.

Owing to the great number of English now in
Paris, a new Evangelical chapel is to be opened
from Sunday next, in the Cour des Coches, No.
30, Rue du Faubourg St. Honore. Divine service
is to commence at 12 o'clock.

ditary Princess Charlotte of Sixe-Meiningen, a
Prussian Princess by birth.

A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Borsenhalle

aisurances for the White Sea, formed in 1848, has
been oldliged to wind up its affairs, in consequence
of the blockade of last year.

BERLIN, MAY 12.

The following despatch has been received here
from St. Petersburg, dated the 11th inst. :
Prince Gortschakoff, under date of the 6th of

May, writes :
Between the sth and 6th the enemy increased
their batteries and strengthened their approaches

against Bastion No. 5.
The fire of the enemy was especially directed
against Bastions 4 and 5, and against the Seling-
Musk and Voihynia Redoubts, to which we suc-
cessfully replied.

Between the 3d and 4th the enemy sprung two

mines, with a view to regain their old entonnoirs.
We worked against them with different counter-

On the night between the 4th and sth we made
a small sortie, and took an English officer and

During the last few days three of the enemy's
powder magazines have blown up.

portion of the enemy's fleet stood out to sea, it is
said with 10,000 to 15,000 troops on board. On
the 2d it was seen sailing past Yalta it is believed
in the direction of the coast of Anapa.

the authorisation for the free export of corn by the
mouths of the Danube to all flags friendly and neu-
tral in the present war,-on the same bases, and with
the same formalities as agreed upon with the Aus-
trian Cabinet. This despatch of the Russian Gene-
ral is a reply to a request presented on 2d April
by these consulates to be informed relative to the
navigation'of the Lower Danube."
The _Austrian Gazette contains a letter from
Galatz, which states that on Ist May there had ar-
rived there not less than 400 vessels, of which 120
were Austrian. The permission accorded by Russia
to all neutral vessels to navigate the Danube, on
condition of carrying their cargoes to neutral ports
only, has led the latter States to a great trade in
corn in the principalities.
General' Coronini ha-st just proceeded (says a
Vienna letter in thc, Breslau Gazette) from Bucha-

who is also at that place, was last week struck with
apoplexy, which places his life in danger.
