ITALY.
As regards the Anglo-French mediation in Italy,
the following extract from La Presse, is all that
can be said upon the subject; conjecture as to the
likely result, would be a wide field. ANY incident
may give different turn to the negotiations:
"In indicating in our numbers of the 9th and
10th of August the basis of the mediation offered
hy France and England, for the purpose of arriving
al pacific solution of the affairs of Italy, we OBJ
served that the two mediating powers reckoned on
the concurrence of Germany to bring Austria more
promptly TO an arrangement which would be honora-
BILE to the army of Italy. The overtures OF France
and England have been very favOrably received, as
far as the principle goes, by the Central German
Power resident at Frankfort We says as far as the
principle goes, because we know that the mission
not to have known about M. de Raumer,l is charged
| by the Central German Power to the French and
English Governments, has for its object to modify
essentially the conditions proposed by the medi-
ating powers. According to the project of media
ton proposed by Lord Pamerston, and accepted by
| the French Cabinet, as the basis of a common ac-
| cord the line of the Adige to form the ex-
IRENE frontier of the Italian provinces placed I'M
! der the dominion of Austria. . . The Ger
man Central Power, while it fully admits that the
possession of Lombardy by Austria is not abso-
lutely necessary for the defence of Southern Ger
many, persts in thinking that the forresses of We
| roma and Lagnano are not sufficient for the com
mon safety of Germany, as long as Mantua and
| Peschiera remain detached from the Austrian En-
pre- because foreign invasion could in that case,
| operate on the right bank of the Adge, and pene-
! trate by the elevated positions Of RivOh into the
| Tyrol and from thence into Bavaria and the heart
| of Germany. Consequently, the Baron d'Andrian
| is charged TO come to an understanding with the
| two cabinets of London and Paris, to substitute
for the line of the Adge the line of the Mncio, as
the starting point of the negotiations to be COM
menced with Austria for the paci6catiOn of Italy.
| Hitherto nothing announces that Austria has ae-
| cepted the mediation, such it has been offered
| by France and England. 1t appears that the cabi-
| net of Vienna, before giving any answer on this
point wishes to be d'dccOrd with the central power
! at Frankfort The Baron de Wessemberg, the
Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs, has Just passed
| a fortnight at Frankfort where he had long con-
ferences with the Administrator of the Empire and
! with the Chevaer Schmerlin, his Minister Of For
eign Affairs. The mission of the Baron d Andrian
must, therefore, be considered as the first step of
| the understanding agreed upon between the cen
trail power of Frankfort and the Court of Vienna.
England and France are, however, earnest in re-
gard to solution of this question.
In Italy ITSELF the feeling for peace is strong as
they see the impossiblity of coping successfully
against Austria. Venice has again declared itself
a republic with Manin for President, and talks OF
defying Austria The Papal States are also greatly
excited. The whole of Lombardy is in possession
of the Austrians, who, all parties avow, have
shown the greatest moderation after victory. Nj
Ian is, however a desert, and the once gay COrSo
des Seros and Corso d. Porta OrlentaJe rec chOes
only the clank of the Austrian hussars' spurred
boots, and the SchiaUo pronounced tchau and addiO
of the Milanese is replaced by the GruSs Cot and
gehorSamer Diener of the German.
