A telegraphic dispatch fcorn Erfurt of the 7th inst.
states that the Committee of the Upper House has
accepted the proposals of its Sub-Committee with a
majority of fourteen votes. These propositions are
identical with those which' M. CAMPITAUSEN made to
the Lower House. The question on the right of
peace and war has found a satisfactory solution by the
House accepting a motion which was brought in by
Baron CARLOWITZ.
Intelligence from Berlin cf the 7th states that
there is cvery probability of an immediate reconcilia-
tion place between Austria and Prussia.
Prussia
has dispatched an agent to Berne to nego-
tiate u stoms union with Switzerland.
T
Bavarian papers are filled with detailed ac-
o the military preparations which are making
on a g
scale throughout the kingdom. A new
levy of recruits has been decreed, and the troops
are preparing to encamp between Schweinfurt and
Wurzsburg.

GREECE.
ENGLISII CLAIMS.

Letters from Athens of the 28th ult. have come to
hand. All the claims will, it seems, be. xecognised,
with the exception of that put forward by M. PACI..
rico, which the French plenipotentiary does not con-
sider valid. It was stated in the latest previous ac-
counts from Athens that Baron Guos had had an
interview with Mr. WYSE on board the French
steamer La Vedette. M. Gaos objected from the
first, it seems, to M. Pacutco's claims. Mr. WYSE
did not, it seems, deny the exorbitance of M. Pact
FICO'S claims, and if any indemnity is granted in this
case it must be a small one.
Another meeting between M. Gaos and Mr. WYSE
was to have taken place on the 29th, when u definite
settlement was to take place. However that may be,
it was rumoured in Paris on Monday that the details
of the arrangement had already hpen received-there.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Her Mijesty, Prince Albert, and two of the Royal
children honoured this theatre with their presence
last evening, for the purpose of witnessing the per-
formance of Rossini's chef d'sfeuvre and (with the
single exception of the .Nozze) the best comic opera
ever produced, Il Barbiere di Siviglia, with Madame
Sontag as Rosina. It was in this character that
Madame Sontag made her first appearance before an
English audience some twenty-three years since, and
at once acquired that high standing which she has
ever since maintained. She made the character her
own ; during her retirement from the stage, her
Rosina was the invariable standard of comparison by
which all other Rosinas were tested, and to which
none could ever approach, and last night she was as
perfect, as beautiful—aye, and as young as ever !
still unapproachable, still the very Rosins of the
Maestro. The facility and ;accuracy a ith which she
executed the most brilliant passages last night was
perfectly marvellous. Her "Una voce poco fa" was
the very perfection of florid vocalisation, and her
execution of Rode's air, which she gave as the singing
lesson,"produced a furore exceeding in intensity, it that '
be possible, that of last season. It is needless to.say that
she was called on to repeat the last variation, and
that she was applauded to the echo. Lablache, glo-
rious Lablache was, as Bartolo, more rich, more
unctions, more full of humour than ever:; and Beletti,
as Figaro, was the most' lively of barbers, and sung
the music most effectively, his " Largo al factotum,"
and his " Nell idea di qua! Metallo," were
admirable ; in the latter he was excellently supported
by Calzorlari, who appeared for the first time us Count
Alrnaviva, and who sang the music with great taste
and correctness. He gave the cavatina "Ecco ridente "
with great taste, and was much and deservedly ap-
plauded. The overture and orchestral accompaniments
were most effectively given, thanks to the energy
and decision with which Balfe conducts the
orchestra, and to the admirable manner in which lie
has drilled the band. Madame Sontag and the prin-
cipal artists were frequently recalled during the
course of the evening, and at the conclusion she was
honoured with a perfect triumph. Between the
acts Mademoiselle Ferraris repeated her grand
pas, and was as usual most enthusiastically
received ; Les Metamorphoses, which bids fair,
thanks to Carlotta Grisi, to revive the ballet furore
which has been somewhat in abeyance since tne ad-
vent of Jenny Lind, concluded the performance.
The crush at the doors was terrific, and the house
was crowded in every part long before the commence-
ment of the opera.
The Queen and his Royal Higness Prince Albei t
honoured the performances with their presence. Her Ma-
jesty and his Royal Highness were accompanied by his
Roy al Highness the Prince of Wales and her Royal
Highness the Princess Royal. The suit-1 in attendance
upon the Royal party comprised the Viscountess Can-
ning, the Hen. Miss Murray, Lord Fitzroy Somerset,
