The Cars reply has been officially notified
| by Austria to the representatives of the West
ern Powers.
| The Independence Beige gives the substance
| of the answer, viz: Russia expresses surprise
that Austria should have transmitted such pro-
posals to St. Petersburg, unaccompanied by
any concession on the part of the Western Pow
ers. Russia, therefore, rejects them. The
Gear indefinitely regrets that he has not been
able to accept the last oyertures made by Aus
1 tria He considers that he has made every
concession compatible with the honor of Russia,
| and it only remains for him to do the same as
his enemies, that is, to try the eventualities of
war, in order to arrive at some solid basis OF
negotiations.
The Emperor Nicholas directed his General
in-chief to pass the Pruth with his troops, from
strategic motives, and Russia will keep herself
/ within her frontiers until more equitable con-
ditions are offered to her. The Emperor on his
| side will avoid increasing the complications OF
the war, but he will repel with the greatest en-
ergy all attacks against him from whatever
quarter they may proceed.
The Western Powers have expressed them
selves satisfied with Austria's resolve to remain
/ for the present in armed neutrality.
| The German Diet resumed its sittings on the
| 18th instant, when the Prussian representative
| would inform the Diet, that Prussia, never hav-
ing bound herself by the guarantees demanded
| by the Western Powers, will in future remain
strictly neutral.
The Daily News has published the following
letter from Berlin, dated the It'll inst:
| ssThe Prussian Government has addressed a
circular to all its ENJOYS at the secondary Ger
man Courts The latter will shortly be allied
on to come to a resolution respecting the atti
| tude of the confederation towards Russia. The
Prussian Government tells it's ENJOYS that al
though for the sake of peace it supported at St.
Petersburgh the four points insisted on by the
Western Powers, it does not think they are in
dispensable in German point of view The
common protectorate would be attended with
difficulty, and may bring harm to Germany
| The King of Prussia cannot then recommend his
German allies to accede to the four conditions
| in such a manner as to incur on their account
expenses and obligations not commanded by the
spirit and end Of the Austro-Prussian Conyen-
ton, The King hopes that the Emperor of Aus
tria will take this view of the case, and adhere
| to it as becomes German Prince. He hopes,
moreover, that the Emperor seeing his own
States are guaranteed against attack from the
side of Russia, will abstain from every act Of
aggression against Russia, and avoid all compli-
cation not necessary for the protection of Ger
man interests, and to which the Convention does
not apply"
