The Parlament° of Turin quotes a letter from Berne
of the Tth, stating that the Governments of France and
England have recommended the Federal Council to use
its influence with the Canton Of Ticino, in order to
induce it to put an end to the Austro-Swiss question, so
inconvenient in the present state of affairs in Europe.
The Federal Government had advised the canton to
admit the Austrian claim of a pension for life to the
eight Capuchins, but the Grand Council of Ticino has
absolutely refused to comply, on the ground that Austria
offers no indemnity to the expelled Ticinese. In conse-
quence of this, the President of the Federal Council is
said to have addressed a note to the foreign ministers
residing at Berne, to the effect that he cannot bold out
the slightest hope of an arrangement of the difference
upon a basis which both the Government and Canton of
Ticino refuse to accept.
