AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Dec. I.—Tho ncgotiations between the
Austrian Government and the• society of French
capitalists, respecting the ratification of the con-
tract for the purchase and sale of the South-
Western Rail way, are still going on. It was re-
ported, but incorrectly, that they had been broken
off.

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.

The Moniteur has the following :
" The Minister of France at Vienna to the Minister of
Foreign Affairs. •
"Vienna, 2d Dec., 1 o'clockin the Morning.
"I have received from Bucharest, under date of the
29th ult., the following despatch :
" 'The General-in-Chief to the Minister of. War in
Paris.
. " Head-quarters before Sebastopol, 22d Nov.
"'Since my despatch of the 17th no striking event
has occurred. Our batteries have not discontinued their
fire. The enemy remains inactive in his positions
where ho has entrenched himself.'
" 'BOUnQUENEY.'"
The Emperor yesterday received, in private au-
dience, Baron de Dernberg, Resident Minister of
Electoral Hesse, who had the honour to present a
letter by which ,H.R.H. the Elector of Hesse noti-
fies to his Imperial Majesty the birth of a prince,
son of his cousin, H.R.H. Prince Frederick Win.
George Adolphus of Hesse, and of H.R.H. the
Princess Mary Ann Frederica, a princess of Prussia.
The Constitutionnel has the following private tele-
graphic despatch, dated Bucharest, the 3d :—" The
telegraph has been in operation since yesterday,

The Turks are fortifyingMarschineni. Omer Paella
is about to leave Bucharest." Marscbincni is a
small town in -Wallach a, to the norlh. of Bucha-
rest, and half way to Fokchany, on the great road
to Moldavia.

The Semaphore of Marseilles says :—" By the
Nil we learn that the Byzantiu and Tharsis have
arrived safe at Rarniesch. We have received satis-
factory news of all the steamers belonging to the
port of Marseilles ; one only has been cast ashore,
and has had to be abandoned, the Ville do Perpig-
nan. At the time this vessel was wrecked, on the
16th, the Russians were attacking Eupatoria ; they
were 4,000 strong, and had 14 guns. Fortunately,
the garrison of Eupatoria was able to force the
Russians to retire, just as the passengers and crew
of the Ville de Perpignan landed. Had this not
been the case, the latter would have run the risk
of being massacred or made prisoners by the
Russians."

We believe that the French and English Govern-
ments are greatly pleased with the treaty, which
they consider perfectly satisfactory.
The exchange of the ratifications will take place
on or about the 15th of the present month.
Germany, with Austria, is to make a last attempt
to induce Russia loyally to accept the four guaran-
tees. In the event of her not doing so, Austria
will no longer content herself with giving the Wes-
tern Powers moral support—she will give them
active aid.

M. de Lartic, aide-de-camp to the Minister of
the Marine, has been selected to carry to the
Crimea the baton of marshal which has been con-
ferred on Admiral Httmelin. He leaves Paris in a
few days.

The Patric says—" We are happy to announce
that there is every reason to hope that the Henry
IV., which was driven ashore by the tempest of the
14, will be floated off again. The crew of the
ship, which have not left her, fired on the Cos-
sacks, who endeavoured to make prisoners of them,
and dispersed them."
