The terms of the Cartel Convention for the extra-
dition of deserters, concluded between Austria and Russia
in 1815, and of the supplementary convention of 1822,
will expire next month, and (according to the Eastern
Bndget) the treaty will not be renewed.
THE SITUATION IN AUSTRIA.—A special telegram
of the Eastern Budget says that the negotiations of Count
Potocki with the Polish leaders have not yet begun, but
the latter have shewn a very conciliatory disposition in
the interviews which they have already had with the
Premier. Dr. Smolka especially, who was formerly
the most determined opponent of the participa-
tion of the Poles in the Reichsrath, has not
only yielded that point, but has gone to Prague
to persuade the Czech leaders to make a like concession.
Prince Czartoryski's political programme, as described in
his speech at Paris on the 3rd of May, is a purely per-
sonal one, but it agrees with that which the Govern-
ment has determined to adopt in the event of the failure
of the negotiations with the Czechs. Prince Mensdorff-
Dietrichstien, a strict Constitutionalist and advocate of a
compromise with the nationalities, has been appointed
Governor of Bohemia.
