THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE.

BERLIN, Nov. 14.

Spellers Gazette of this morning says—" The
French invitation to the Conference is dated the
9th, and begins with a statement of the warm and
well justified interest of the French Government
in Italian events. The reputation and the impar-
tial and far-sighted attitude of the French Govern-
ment with regard to the September Convention
guaranteed that it will not prove untrue to the en-
gagements into which it has entered. The ques-
tion of the Pope and of the Holy See must en-
gage the serious attention of the Cabinets. The
recent confusion in Italy was the result of a prema-

tare attempt."
The Note proposes a common deliberation of the
Powers, and says that nothing but a calm and
attentive examination can supply the bases for a
satisfactory and lasting solution.
The invitation does not state a date for the meet-
ing of the Conference, nor does it enter into details
or put forward definite proposals.
