THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA IN

ITALY.

VENICE, DEC. 2.

The Emperor has issued an amnesty.

Seventy political prisoners have received a free
pardon.

The sequestration on the property of political

igitives is entirely removed.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post
(Second Edition) says :--
"Up to a late hour this day no official intelli-
gence had reached Paris from Sicily. A steamer
will arrive at Marsilles this evening, when in al]
probability further details of the insurrection will
reach us.

" I understand it was to be decided to-day in
Paris when the Conferences would meet, but I
know not what period has been fixed. Russia is
represented as impatient at the delay."

BERLIN, THURSDAY.

The Prussian. Correspondent violently attacks
the British Press for its conduct in the Neucha-
tel question. It says it has declared itself for
usurpation against justice. It hopes the English
Government " repudiates attacks which can only
awaken indignation and contempt throughout the
whole Prussian people !"

An amnesty has been published at Copenhagen,
pardoning nineteen officers engaged in the Schles-
wig-Holstein campaign of 1848. A few yet re-

main in exile.

"Several foreign journals," says the Patrie,
" have stated that the King of Denmark had
it in contemplation to abdicate the crown
We believe we can announce that these state
meats, propagated in all probability to serve
party interests, have no kind of foundation."

The difference between Prussia and Neuchatel
is at this moment the principal object of discus-
sion in the German journals. They appear to be
generally of opinion that the dispute will be
settled by negotiation, and that if the representa-
tives of th• great powers of Europe assemble to
smooth down other difficulties, it will be easy to
submit to their arbitration a question which in
this manner may be terminated honourably for
all parties.

FRANCE, RUSSIA, AND THE PORTE.
The Trieste Gazette publishes the following as
the complete text of the identical note addressed
to Reschid Pacha by the ambassadors of France

and Russia :
" His Majesty the Emperor, my most gracious
master, has deigned to order me to demand from
the Grand Vizir precise explanations on the fol-
lowing points :-1. With regard to the rectifica-
tion of the Bessarabian frontier. Does the Porte
consent to the solution of the difficulties which
exist on this subject being remitted to the con-
ferences which are to be opened at Paris, or is it
rather disposed to remove those difficulties by
renouncing its pretensions on Bolgrad in
favour of Russia, whilst France and Russia
would guarantee to it the definitive possession
of the Isl© of Serpents and of the delta
of the Danube ? 2. With respect to the
continued occupation of the principalities. Does
the Porte not see in this ocoupation a violation
of the letter and spirit of Art. 31 of the Treaty of
Paris Is not this violation doubly evident from
the contradiction which exists between the fact of
the continued occupation of the principalities by
the Austrian militaryforces and the language which
Count de Baol held at the Conferences ? 3. With
respect to the presence of the English squadron in
the Bosphorus and the Black Sea. Does not the
Porte consider it as contrary to the convention of
the lath May, 1856, according to which a period
of six months, counting from the day of the ex-
thange of the ratifications of the Treaty of Paris,
was fixed for the evacuation of the Ottoman terri-
tory by all the forces of England, Franco, and
Sardinia ? Does it not see besides in it an obstacle
to the execution of the convention concernin g the
Straits, which was to have been again brought
into vigour from the 28th October ? 4. With
respect to the reorganisation of the Principalities.
Is the Porte of opinion that the Divans ad hoc
can pronounce in full liberty in favour of thke ter-
ritorial and administrative union of the Princi-
palities, if such a union be desired by the inhabi-
tants of Wallachia and Moldavia ? Would. such
a vete, if the Congress of Paris were to tiLke it
into serious consideration, encounter difficulties on
the part of the Porte in its quality of soui:erain
power ? The Grand Vizir is requested to be) kind
enough to give explanations as soon as poe sible,
and in a precise manner, on the subject of these
questions, the high importance of which under
present circumstances he will not disregard.
