The English papers are filled with rnmors
of peace, but their assertions are totally at va
rience with the views of the Continental press.
The London Times and D'fsrael organ of the
London press assert that peace is at hand, and
that Austria is about to address an ultmatum
to Prussia summoning her under threat OF
breaking off negotiations with her, to accept
such conditions of peace as the Western pow
sers are now willing to assent to, but which
they will not agree to after another successful
campaign. ,
The Berlin correspondent Of the London
Morning Chronicle says Austria maintains the
validity of treaty of DeceRbcr I'd, and hence
the attempts of all other German States tC
exercise, to presume upon the Western Pow
ers with view of pacifcation have been par
alized. sz
There are various reports of attempts at ne
igotiatiois, but tH6 state of affeirs aryieaH,
stands thus: Austria has made communi
cation to France embodying terms which sh,
is prepared to propose to Russia as an ultima
tuIn. France has submitted this communica
tion to England, and both governments hav
It now under consideration. The terms are
great advance upon any yet offered, but the
are the terms Of Austria and not Russia.
Austria does not guarantee to join the a
lies if the ultimatum is rejected, but will sus
pend all relation with Russia.

the treaty with Sweden has been signed .
