The following telegram has been received alp
Mr. Reuter's office

PARIS, MARCH 22.
The 2lfoniteur of this morning contains the fol

lowing :

" Russia has proposed the assembling of a Con-
gress with a view to prevent the complications to
which the condition of Italy might give rise, and
which would naturally disturb the peace of Europe.
" The Congress is proposed to be constituted of

the Plenipotentiaries from France, Austria, Eng-
land, Prussia, and Russia, and to be summoned to
meet in some neutral town.

" The French Government has given its assent to
the proposal of the Russian Cabinet.

" The Cabinets of London, Vienna, and Berlin
have not yet returned official replies."

DRESDEN, INIARCH 21.

The Dresden Journal of to-day states that the
prospect of peace is now more reasonable, and that
Austria has, under certain conditions, accepted the
inposal of France to convoke a Congress in some
neutral town for the purpose of discussing Italian
affairs.

FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.

The Patric of this evening very much doubts of
any solution of the Italian question, because Austria
up to the present moment has not given any signs
of consenting to a revision of treaties, beyond a de-
ceptive language, intended to insure the good-will
of the British Government, and invite the sym-
pathy of the English people in her favour. " De-
spite the favourable reports of diplomacy," adds
the semi-official journal in question, " war prepara-
tions continue ; Trieste is no longer a, city for
commerce, but a place d' armes."

A letter from Alexandria of the 11th says :
" M. de Lesseps, with the assistance of some of the
directors of the Suez Canal who accompanied him
to Egypt, has engaged a number of persons at
Alexandria and Cairo for the service of the com-
pany. The engineers and the principal officers of
the company have left this place in order to verify
the correctness of the first surveys. The directors
are to visit Suez and the chain of mountains from
which it is proposed to obtain the stone required.
They will also traverse the desert, and ascertain
the extent of the port of Pclusium."

A Vienna letter, in the Nord, says :—" It is
aFain stated on good authority that the Emperor
or Austria is to shortly leave for Italy. His Ma-
jesty is to be accompanied by Field Marshal Baron
Hess, by his first aide-de-camp Count Gunne, and
a numerous military suite."
