taken his departure.
The Veloce has fired upon the vessels and the
fort of Castellamare.

TRIESTE, AUG. 15.

It is believed that Garibaldi intends to attack
Austria, not on the Venetian, but on the Croatian
coast, by attempting a disembarkation at Fiume.
The Austrian authorities believe that Garibaldi
will first endeavour to provoke a revolution in
Croatia and Hungary before proceeding to Venetia.
All the coasts are rigorously watched by the
cruisers of the Imperial marine.

PARIS, AUG. 15.

The representatives of England, Austria, and
Prussia at the Court of the Tuileries have already
received the full powers necessary for converting
the protocol of the 3d inst. into a formal conven-
tion. It is expected that before the departure of
the Emperor for Savoy and Algeria the ambassa-
dors of Russia and the Porte will have likewise
received full powers, and that the convention will
be then definitely signed. Prince Metternich and
Count Kisseleff will immediately afterwards quit
Paris on leave.

Prince Metternich will proceed to his estate in
Bohemia, where he will remain during the journey
of the Emperor of the French.

PARIS, AUG. 14.

The Patric says : —" We have reason to believe
it to be quite true that an Austrian note has de-
clared that in the event of Garibaldi taking posses-
sion of the kingdom of Naples, or organising an
expedition against the Austrian possessions, Austria
would not wait for the attack, but would proceed
to meet the Garibaldian troops on whatever point
of the main land it might be necessary."
The Emperor will retarn to Paris to-morrow.

BERLIN, AUG. 14.

It may be positively stated that during the con-
ferences at Toplitz the Emperor of Austria and the
Prince Regent had before them a memorandum,
elaborated by their ministers for foreign affairs,
containing all the questions on which an under-
standing between Austria and Prussia was desirable,
and setting forth the motives for the same. Thus
the august negotiators examined one question after
another, and came to a definitive agreement there-
upon. Although no act or protocol was signed at
Toplitz, formal and mutual engagements neverthe-
less exist between the Emperor of Austria and the
Prince Regent.

GENEVA, AUG. 15.

The Grand Duchess Anne of Russia, sister of
King Leopold, died this morning at Elfessau, near
Berne.

MADRID, Au°. 13.

tiously intriguing to bring about the annexation of
•
Catalonia to France.

FRANCE.

PARIS, TUESDAY.

A letter from the camp at Chalons, of the 13th,
says :—" The weather is so bad that manceuvres
are not possible ; but some experiments with rockets
of long and short range have been made before the
Emperor, and they on the whole succeeded. After
dinner yesterday the Emperor took the young
Prince to see a balloon with which Godard made
several experiments ; the spectacle appeared to in-
terest greatly H. I. H. I can give you some de-
tails of the fire in the Emperor's quarters—an
accident which, no doubt, rumour will exaggerate.
The fire commenced in the pavilion which on one
side touches the residence of the Emperor, and on
the other, that of the Prince Imperial. The room
in which the conflagration took place was occupied
by the women in the service of the Prince, and was
occasioned by a flue being too near some wood-
work. At the first cries of alarm, the Emperor
hastened to the Prince's room and carried him to
his own apartment, H. I. H. not being even awak-
ened. The fire was happily extinguished in time
to prevent it from reaching the adjacent construc-
tions, which are in wool. The Emperor at once
distributed recompenses to the men who exerted
themselves in putting out the flames. Part of the
wardrobe of the Prince was. destroyed, and this
morning he had only one pair of bottines left. The
gouvernante and the female servants have lost the
greater part of their clothing. The prolongation
of the stay of the Grand Duke of Baden has pre-
vented the Emperor's departure for Plombieres, as
he had intended."
