RENEWAL OF THE ARM1sr1cE.


RENEWAL OF THE ARMIsTIcE.
BY the Auckland Packet, capt. Dean, ar
rived at Harwich with mails and passengers
from Heligoland, we have received accounts
which state that the armistce between the
French and Austrians, which expired on the
18th ult. has been extended to farther De :
riod of twenty eight days from that date,
viz. to the 9th instant, subject to the mott
6caton stipulated in the first armistice in
case OF either party resolving to renew hos
tiities.
This prolongation of the armistice is sta
ted to be for the purpose of allowing tipc to
put the finishing hand TO the negotiations,
which have for some time been carrying on
for deiinitivs treaty Of peace--negociat-
ems which embrace such variety of objects,
l!,at they could not possibly be terminal
ed within the period prescribed by the ar.
mistice.
This intelligence comes to us through a
good channel, but we cannot pledge ourselves
for its perfect accuracy: we believe, howe
yer, that it will be found correct in its gene
raj features.
