The Paris correspondent of tie London
Times says.
"Since the preceding was written, l
am informed that the English and French
ambassadors at Vienna have written to their
governments for the necessary authorization
to enable them to enter into negotiations
with Prince Gortschakoff' Itappears that
the Prince has not accepted without re-
serve the guarantee with the Interpretation
of the allies, which were communicated to
him confidently. The prince has, I am as
sured, demanded certain changes, which at
first appeared to NJ de Buol not to possess
any Importance, but so far they are changes,
and therefore the acceptance is not unre-
served. In case ofthe negotiations failing,
and that nothing is done before the 14th
inst, Austria is bound to change the pres
ent treaty into defensive one. The opin-
ion generally prevails more and more to
concentrate her troops in Podolla and Po-
land against Austria"
The official Austrian Correspondent con-
firms the telegraphic dispatches, and an
nounces, that if the French and English
Cabinets approve of what has occurred, ne
gociations for the conclusion of a solid
peace will soon commence. Another des-
patch says, that the representatives of the
four powers, namely, England and France,
Austria and Russia-had themselves come
to friendly understanding, but the writ
ten approval of their respective govern
ments was considered necessary.
THE FOUR POINTS.
The following are the four points alluded
to in the negotiations:
l. The abolition Of the Protectorate of
Russia over the Danubian Principalities,
and the possession of those provinces pla-
ced under the collective guarantee of the
contracting Powers.
2. The free navigation of the mouths of
the Danube secured according to the prin-
ciples established by the Congress of Vien-
ma.
3. The revision of the treaty of the 18th
July, 1841, lin the interest of the balance
Of power in Europe
4. The abandonment by Russia of her
claim to exercise an official protectorate
over the Christian subjects of the Porte,
Ito whatever right they might belong,) in
consideration of the Powers giving their
mutual assistance to obtain from the Sui
tan confirmation and observance of the
religious privileges of all Christian com
munities.
The Austrian summons to the Gar en-
braced the following additional points, bu
it is not believed that they have been urged
by the Western Powers.
Austria, in her final summons to Russia
demanded no modification of the interna
possessions, and besides the four points
an indemnifcation for the war expenses il
to be basis for future propositions.
A future Russian protectorate over thu
Pro- Catholic subjects of the Porte, is de
clared inadmissable, as interference will
the Sultan's sovereign rights. The fvt
powers guarantee the privilege and equa
rights of the Christians.
The Russian protectorate in the Danu
bian Principallities and in Servia is de
clared extinct "
The navigation of the Black Sea is to bt
guaranteed by the razing of Sevastapool
and by converting the other arsenals on it,
coasts into common harbors.
The Russian feet to be four frigates and
two ine-of-battle ships.
The remainder of the Black Sea feet tc
be allowed to Withdraw to the Baltic, the
free navigation to be insured by forma'
declaration.
The Sulina mouths, with the environs
to be declared a neutuaal territory.
