The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :

BERLIN, JtLY 18.

The Prussian Gaz6ite publishes a leading article
in defence of the attitude taken by Prussia during
the last few Months, and endeavours to prove that
its policy has prevented an universal war. The
article lays the chief stress upon the fact that a
, real and substantial basis for joining in the war
was wanting. The article goes on thus :—" Prussia
can draw her sword for German and Prussian inte-
rests, but not for maintaining or re-establishing a
state of affairs in Italy which Austria herself has
recognised as not maintainable ; nor for sustaining
isolated articles of the treaties of 1815 (nicht fur
Feststellung einzelner Bestimmungen der Vertnage

von 1815.)"
The article further says :—" The proposals for
mediation made by Prussia were far more favour-
able than the preliminaries of peace which have
now been agreed upon." The article concludes—
" Prussia has no occasion to be dissatisfied with the
unexpected turn matters have taken. Whilst dis-
continuing her military measures she awaits the
further development of affairs with calmness."

BERLIN, JULY 18.
The following order of the day to the army has
been published to-day :
At the moment when war broke out between
the two neighbouring great Powers I had ordered
the army to be placed in readiness for war,
in order to maintain that position of power which
belongs to Prussia. The Change which threatened
us then is over. While you were still marching to
occupy positions I had ordered for you the bellige-
rent Powers suddenly concluded peace. Your ad-
vance had shown our firm resolution to maintain
our frontiers and those of Germany inviolate,
whatever might be the destinies of war. You have
shown the readiness I had expected from you, and
have maintained in general a dignity worthy of
the name of Prussia. You have made many per-
sonal sacrifices, and I express to you my full satis-
faction. TIIF, PRINCE REGENT OF PRUSSIA.
The Prussian Gazette says General Field-Mar-
shal Wrangel has been relieved from the command
in chief of the army which was to have been con-
centrated on the Rhine.

PARIS, JULY 18. I
A Conference, to settle the affairs of Italy, has
just been arranged at St. Cloud.
The early part of next month is spoken of as the
time at which the representatives of the parties in-
terested will assemble, but the place of meeting has
not yet been named.

The Paris correspondent of the .3forning Pos

(Second Edition) says :
" The Emperor Napoleon and his advisers have, I
learn, succeeded in inducing the Emperor and Ca-
binet of Austria to agree to a Conference to regu-
late the E.ffairs of Italy,' to which France, I believe,
desires the great Powers to be invited. Count

FRANCE.

Walewski was all day long with the Emperor yes•
terday, and, I believe, pointed out to his Majestythe
impossibility of carrying out with success certain
provisions of the Treaty of Peace. The telegraph was
set to work between Paris, London, and Vienna,
and it seems pretty certain a Conference will take
place, though no one knows exactly where. It is of
the utmost importance that the Conference should
meet as early as possible. Great agitation exists in
Italy, especially in Tuscany, Modena, Parma, and
the Roman States ; the people there especially pro-
testing against the provisions of the treaty which
places them without reserve at the mercy of the
Sovereigns who had abandoned them. We may
hope the influence of England, if admitted, will not
be without some weight in the Conferences, by which
means we can express our sympathy for the Italian
cause, and thus confirm a policy towards the Italians
which all British Governments saving that of Lord
Derby had hitherto observed ; whilst no doubt
Lords Palmerston and Russell will take care to
appoint such Envoys to the Conference as shall re-
present the feeling of the English nation towards a
people who have so long struggled for independence
and nationality.
"M. d'Azeglio has arrived at Turin from the
Roman States. No Ministry has 3et been formed.
It is hoped to-day Count Cavour will return to
office.
The Emperor of Austria has promised the Em-
peror Napoleon that popular reforms shall take
place throughout the Austrian empire, but his
Majesty give no hopes of withdrawing from the
Concordat, which gives so much trouble and offence
in Hungary and eliewhere.
" Addresses are arriving in Turin from all parts
of Italy praying for a united Italy, headed alone by
King Victor Emmanuel.
" I have not received any letter to-day from
Italy ; but I learn no alarming news has reached
Paris by telegraph. Florence to-day was tranquil.
"In the sitting of the Diet, yesterday, Austria
communicated the preliminaries of peace, and pro-
posed to place the Federal contingents and fortresses
on a peace footing. The Austrian press attacks
England and Prussia about the results of the war.
" The Opinione says Count Cavour resigned be-
cause the war had terminated without his pro-
gramme for the independence of Italy being corn-
" The Tuscan division left Goito on the 6th for
Volta. On arriving at the latter place General
Ulloa received notice that, as the division ceased to
belong to the 3th corps of the French army, it now
passed under the immediate orders of King Victor

Emmanuel.
-" The Progress, a new Vienna journal, regarded as
a semi-official organ. publishes a leading article under
the head of The Peace.' It gives a concise review
of the policy of Austria and Prussia since the begin-
ning of the war in Italy, and the attitude of the
Berlin Cabinet is judged with great severity. Ac-
cording to the Progress, Austria has constantly laid
aside the last remnant of her rivalry with Prussia,
as was proved by the proposition which she made
in the Diet to entrust the Prince Regent with the
command of 11 the troops of the Confederation,
even the Austrian contingent. Prussia, on the con-
trary, it declares, showed by her counter-proposi-
tions that she was disposed to sacrifice all federal
rights to her own interests."

PARIS, MONDAY.

" The Emperor arrived at the Palace of St.
Cloud, by the railroad de ceinture, this morning

perial.
