AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna, dated July 22, says the
Plenipotentiaries of France and Austria (Baron de
Bourquency for France, Count Collured° for Austria)
will meet at Zurich in the course of the next week,
in order to conclude peace on the bases of the pre-
liminaries signed at Verona. It is now proposed
that the Treaty shall be concluded between the
Emperors Napoleon and Francis Joseph, and that
Sardinia shall make peace with Austria by means of
an " Additional Act." Neither England, Russia,
nor Prussia are to be represented at Zurich, but as
soon as the Treaty of Peace has been ratified, the
fact will be made known to those Powers. The
arrangements which have been made by France and
Austria will satisfy neither the neutrals nor the
Italians, but the two Emperors appear to care as little
for the one as they do for the other. The Austrian
Government affects to be well pleased with the con-
ditions of peace, and probably it really is so, as it is
aware that the neutral Powers intended to propose
much more disadvantageous terms than those which
have been obtained from the Emperor of the
French. A person, who must necessarily be well
informed on the subject, has this morning told me
that the British Government not long since pro-
posed to Russia and Prussia to make the cession
of Venetia and Lombardy the basis of future
negotiations for peace, and he also gave me to
understand that the two last-mentioned Powers
had consented to take the proposition into con-
sideration. The proposals at first mule by the
Emperor Napoleon to the Emperor Francis
Joseph were :-1. That Lombardy and Venice
should be separated from Austria, and placed
as an independent kingdom under an Arch-
duke ; 2. That Modena and Parma should be given
to Sardinia ; and 3. That Tuscany should be ceded
to the Duchess-Regent of Parma. These conditions
having been rejected, the counter-propositions made
by Austria were accepted by the Emperor Napoleon.
Count Rechberg and Baron Hess negotiated with
his Majesty, and both of them were much struck
by the extraordinary lucidity of his mind, and his
talent for business. The preliminaries of peace were
put to paper by the Emperor himself at Valleggio.
to which place Count Rechberg went after the in-
terview between the two Sovereigns at Villafranca.
Baron Hess settled with Napoleon the conditions
of the armistice, and he was subsequently sent with
Count Mensdprff to Valeggio, to make the neces-
sary arrangements for the meeting of the two
monarchs at Villafranea. It is reported, that
800,000,000 of lire is the sum which Lombardy
is to take as her share of the National Debt.
When the news reached the army that peace had
been concluded, and Lombardy ceded to France, the
indignation of the officers was so great, that many
of them expressed themselves in terms which were
by no means flattering for any of the parties con-
cerned. The Austrians maintain that they could
effectually have cured the French of their bad habit
of meddling in the affairs of other nations, " if the
English had insisted on the neutrality of the Adri-
atic," and I am not inclined to think that they
over-rate their prowess. The Fourth army, con-
sisting of 60,000 men, was totally inactive, as it
was necessary to keep powerful garrisons in Venice,
Trieste, and in the numerous seaports on the
Dalmatian coast.

It is now publicly related at Belgrade that old
Wutschitsch was poisoned, and it is known here
that the five senators accused of having conspired
against Prince Milosch would have been put to
death if Fuad Pasha and Sir H. Bulwer had not
protested against such a summary manner of pro-
ceeding. Prince Couza is unwell, and he leads a
very retired life.

The Oesterreichische Zeitung, which is the pro-
perty of the Minister of Finance, continues to
abuse England and everything English in good set
terms, although Baron Bruck will in a short time
be obliged to apply to British capitalists for a
loan.
