This false position will, believe, be this year pro-

tional government was established particularly to
avoid the alternative of seeing the throne occupied
by man who is TOO old, or by who is too young;
to calm the too great ardor of soveregns supply

The italian Intervention.

difficulty mas just arisen between the imperial
cabinet of Austria the one part, and France and
England the other part touching the execution
of certain clauses of the armstce concluded ct Milan
the 9th August last by the Sandman and Austrian
plenipoe ntiaries 1t known that according to the
articles two and four of this convention the city Of
Venice comprised in the number of places, which
were to be given up to the Austrian troops within

place on the 10th of August. Venice, according to
the stip1atons agreed on ought to have been evacu-

Marshal Radetzki on King Charles Albert that the
Sandman troops and fleet which remained at Venice
should conform to the conditions Of the armistics.

shall Radetxk eDjoinng Admiral Albini and General
della Marmora to evacuate Venice. But then
foreseen difficulty arose At the same time that the
Austrian government, on the 18th September received
from Admiral Albn the official assurance that all
the fleet and the Sandman troops should leave the
city, there arrived at Trieste envoy sent by the
same admiral to declare that the Sandman feet could
abandon the waters of Venice, until after having
received from the Austrian government the formal
that act of hostility should be under
taken against that city BY the imperial troops. The
declaration Of the Sandman admiral comedies with
the protest made by the of France and
England at Vienna for the eventuaty Of the resump
ton of hostilites against Venice being ordered BY
Austria after the departure of the fleet by
Admiral Albini. In note dated 7th inst, md joint
ly addressed by Lord Ponsonby and NJ. de Lacour to
the Baron de Wessenberg Minister of Foreign Affairs
of Austria the of France and England
declared that by the simple fact of having accepted
the Anglo French mediation Austria tacty inter-
dicted herself the right of recomme ncing hosttes
against Venice, the special object Of the mediation
being to stop the war by the employment Of means of
concation. The reply of the cabinet of Vienna has
not this time had to be long waited for. If
notification of the arnstice of Milan was fat accom-
phi at the time at which Charles Albert and the Court
of Austria accepted the Anglo French mediation
Consequently the acceptation of the mediation

lations Of the armistce The imperial go7ernmeut,
doubt admits the principle of the status quo the
basis of the negotiations to be entered into with the
medating powers; but 1t cannot admit any other
status quo than that settled by the armstice itself and
the consequences of that act ought to be to replace
the begere parties in the territorial situation which
they occupied at the beginning of the war. That
being Au;tra believes itself entitled to impose
Venice the stipulations of the armisce from which
King Charles Albert has already derived considerable
advantages, especially the giving up of park of art
lery abandoned at Peschera and the free passage
corded to his troops From these motives Austria her
turn protests against the which the medating
| powers raise to the accomplishment of the armistce
of Milan. and she reserves to herself in respect to
Venice all her liberty of action the acceptance of the
Anglo French mediation, not in her opinion destroy
ing any respect the previous rights resulting her
from the armistce. The counter protest of Austria
appears much the grave from the fact that the
armstice Of Milan expires the 2lst of this month,
aud that King Charles Albert and Marshal Radetzki
preparing to resume hostties with vigor, IL,
in the meantime, Prince Schwartze nburg, delegated
ad hoe for the commandin chief of the Austrian army
shall not succeed in STIMULATING proongaton of the
