A RUMoRED PROPOSAL OF PEAcE.-A
correspondent of the London Times, writ
ing from Paris, states on what he repre-
sents as the best authority, that two OF
the most influential powers of Europe,
| probably England and Prussia, had agreed
10 propose an arrangement to the contin-
entail belligerents on the occurrence of the
first great battle, and, if necessary, to in
sist upon the adoption of it at all hazard
of a more general war. The grounds on
which pacifcation will be proposed, are
said to be as follows;
/, That the territory gained by the
victorious party shall be accepted by all
the European powers as the basis Of
Congress.
2. The entry of the French into Milan
supported by a popular manifestation,
shall be considered by the European pow
ers as convincing proof of the disapro-
baton ia Italy of Austrian policy.
8. The neutral powers will insist on an
armistice while Congress is assembled.
4. The extension of the Kin gdom of
Sardinia will be deemed essential and
the Duches of Parma and Modena, with
the fortress of Piacenza, are to be added
to it.
5. 1t will be proposed to form the
Lombardo- Venetian Kingdom into State
distinct from the Austrian Empire, but
governed by an Austrian Archduke.

make one ask what has become of the
Hungarian regiments and these famous
pattalons of the military colonies, and
these bands of Cioats who used to rush
