GERMAN Y.

The Legitimatise Gazette de France publishes the
following correspondence from Vienna :
" A letter from our correspondent at Vienna, of the
Sth, stltes that the note in reply to that which M. de
Rosenberg brought from Berlin, on the subject of the
free conference, left on the 7th. As our correspondent
had led us to anticipate, the proposition was rejected.
Ha adds that the reply of the Au,trian Cabinet was very
categorical on the subject of the free conferences. The
Prince de Schwartasnberg once more refers the Cabinet
of Berlin to the treaties of 1815, declaring that the
moment would be ill chosen to deviate from them. since
the Germanic Diet was almost reconstituted. The Prince,
moreover, expressed his opini,)n that the conferences
proposedby Prussia would only throw Germany into a
provisional situation even more dangerous than the, for-
mer one. He observed that the Diet, being legally re-
established, might the more efficaciously occupy itself

with the revision of the federal constitution, as it won

have the character of power recognised by the great
powers."
The Journal des Debats has the following from
Berlin of the 12th :

_
" It is affirmed that the Cabinet has sent a reply to
the last proposition from Vienna. The Government
persists in demanding that no time be lost in arranging
the free conference, and refuses to pronounce, by way
of preliminary, by the College of Princes, the dissolu-
tion of the union. It is thought that Austria will sus-
pend her armaments, the telegraph having brought news
last night of an order to suspend their march having
been issued to the regiments on the military frontier.
The retreat of General Groeben upon Hersefeld and
Cassel was a necessity. His position was compromised
to a degree that his communication with the other Prus-
sian corps in Saxony and Thuringia might have been
intercepted. With regard to the Duchies, it is positive
that neither our Government nor that of Brunswick will

allow a passage across their territories to the Austrians

nation, an example which has been followed by Ge-
neral VON Bosh and Prince RADZI.VIL. The line
and the landwher are fully prepared to take the field.
The withdrawal of the troops from Hesse was in con-
sequence of a note from Russia declaring that the
EMPEROR would consider a continuance of the Prus-
sian policy in the electorate a casus belli. The move-
ment of Russian troops towards Gallicia and Hungary
still continues.
The Berlin Constitutionelle of the 12th has the
following :.--
" The news of the arrival of an English note, in
which Lord Palmerston protests against the occupation
of Hungary or Gallicia by Russian troops, in case of a
coeflict between Austria and Prussia. circulated this day
at the Bourse, and produced great effect among specula-
tors. Smiler intelligence is communicated by the Ham-
burgh correspondent.
It was considered at Berlin on the 13th that there
would be no war; the Prussian propositions had been,
it was said, accepted at Vienna. This idea receives
confirmation from the Vienna intelligence of the 11th,
which states that the Austro-German question was
leading to a pacific solution.
The Prussian troops have evacuated the territory
of the Electorate of Hesse except the military roads ;
the Federal troops entered Cassel on the 12th.

Letters from Frankfort of the 13th state that
the Prussian troops will be withdrawn from Baden, and
that the fortress of Rastadt will be evacuated.
The King of llANovsit has protested against the
passage of Austrian troops through his territory.
A letter from Vienna, in the Cologne Gazetie,d sted
10 h instant, says—
'. I near tram a well inform, d quarter that England
has put the question to Austria whether the latter, in
the re-organiz Won of the Diet, has in view the uncondi-
tiona mlintenance in their int,grity of the treaties of
1815, and if the proposed modifications will lead to any
chituge in the territorial relationship of any of the Fe-
. demi powers, as the admission of combined Austria
(Gesamt•CEsterreich) into the Diet would need the ad-
hed,ou of those powers who signed themselves guaran-
tees of the Diet. Such an admission (that of combined
Austria) would he no less abt.ormat than the Prus-
sian Union. ;4 I. Persigny is said to have induced
the French Government to take a similar view
of the case, and instructions have been sent to that effect
to M. de la Cour, the French representative here, to k
communicated by him to Prince Schwartzenberg. At all
events, a recognition of the Frankfort Assembly by the
two great western powers is not yet contemplated. In
the Council of Generals, held yesterday, Radetzky
strongly expressed his disapprobation of the aggressive
policy of the Diet, and of the untimely and iejtelicious
article in the Vienna Gazette (that of the 6th iust)."
