AUSTRIA.
THE VIENNA CONFERENCE.
VIENNA, OCT, 5.

At to•day's sitting of the Conference the Danish
plenipotentiaries are said to have made certain con-
cessions in the boundary and financial questions,
but they insisted that the Duchies should have no
part of the indemnity paid for the redemption of
the Sound dues, and finally made a fresh proposi-
tion for the settlement of the question,
Herr von Balan, recently arrived from Berlin,
was present at the Conference.

A letter from Berlin, dated 31 inst., says :
" The progress of the Vienna Conferences meets
with serious obstacles, and the idea of declaring the
armistice at an end has been positively entertained.
Prussia has no interest in the question of Schleswig-
Holstein being resolved in the national sense—that
is to say, that the Duchies shall be formed into an
independent State under the Prince of Augusten-
burg or the Duke of Oldenburg.

" The ideas of annexation have somewhat de-
creased, but they still exist, and the ftudal party,
who are now in power in Prussia, are ready to
bring them forward at a moment's notice. On the
other hand, Denmark only wishes to gain time ;
she hopes that Russia will help her to redeem her
losses to a certain extent.

"It is certain that if the idea of a Congress were
now proposed it would be more eagerly accepted
than ever by Prussia, considering the serious com-
plications which exist in the politics of Europe.
"It will be remembered that the Danes proposed
the arbitration of a neutral Power to settle what
portion of the Danish Monarchy appertained to the
Duchies. This proposal was declined by Prussia,
and the Prussian plenipotentiary has received in•
structions to reject all demands of this description.
"It is certain that great coolness now exists
between Prussia and Austria. There is no accor-
dance in the Conference itself, and it has been re-
solved to send a second plenipotentiary to Vienna to
avoid a split upon the Danish question. The person
selected is M. de Balan, who perfectly understands
this question,"
