Lord CowLEy details an important conyerso-

the latter said that France had nc wish to

the Emperor, there would be no war-that a.
long rs Austria kept within her own bouada-
ries, France would not interfere with her
but that If she marched single legion into
any other territory than her own, except the
Legations,) he would not answer for the con-
sequences France might not interfere, but
Sardinia would, and thus involve the peace o.
Europe That peace, he said, was in the hands
Of Austria.
In letter to Mr.. RrssxLL, Ambassador al
Rome, Lord MALMsBCRY earnestly impressed
apon the governments of Italy the importance
Of uniting with the two great Roman Catholic
powers i'll considering the means Of improving
the administration of the general States, &c.
On the 18th January, Lord COwLEY writes to
Lord MALMEsBrRY, detailing conversation
he had just had svith the Emperor. The Elm
peror could not understand the cause OF the
great uneasiness that prev aiied-said war was
aot more probable then than it had been three
months before that he did not seek il. and
should not provoke it; that his sympathie.
had always been with Italy, but that he did
not dispute Austria's right to Lombardy; that
if Sardinia provoked hostiiities unjustly, and
placed herself In the wrong. she could expect
no support from him; that Austria should not
nave placed her troops 50 near the Ticino as to
threaten Sardinia &c.
A conversation of Lord LOPTUs with Count
BUoL is detailed. He said, the only way to pre-.
vent war was to "tel; NAPOLEON that Great
Britain would not lock passivply on ii his
Majesty should commence hostiiities,'' and to
warn VICTOR EMASCEL how he entered upon
n war of aggression. e" If Great Britain IS pre-
pdred to hold his language tcar lctH drtSe."-
lie would not hear of any territorial changes
in Central Italy. saying the proposal was dan
gerous in the extreme. To this the English
Ambassador answered very bluntly, that Aus
tria "was playing the game of the revolution
ary party, and would fall into the trap they
had laid"
He said the disturbances had subsdsd in
Italy .-apprehended no danger from that quar-
ter-wouid agree to do nothing-said Austria
could never come to an understanding with
France with regard to Italy, because, apart
from the fact that France was not All Italian
power, she sympathised with the nationalites,
while Austria was for the established order OF
things-that sit was great mistake to sup
pose Italy required change''-that 'if Italy is
left quiet, If agitation Is put down, and II the
hopes OF certain parteS WHO only seek tHclT
own aggrandiZement are annuled, there VIII
be no war, no commotion in Italy," &c.
Russia and Prussia express strong desire
TO maintain the peace, ii possible. We now

lie find. the difficulty of his mission much
modified by the fact that the Pope had himself
requested the withdrawal of both the Aus
trian and French troops from his domnions.
Count Buol has no objection, and only recom-
mends gradual evacuation and removal at
first of the French troops only to Civita Fec-
CHA, and the Austrians to Ancona. He thinks
it a necessary precaution against insurrection,
and advantageous, for the additional reason
that it gives time TO the Pope to organize ma
tive force. He is willing that the reforms in
the Papal States should either be on the plan
of 1857 or on that of 1881. The subject OF Sc
curity for the better relations of Sardinia and
Austria having been introduced, Count BIOL
said that the present crisis was not produced
by any action of Austria, but by the ambitious
designs of Sardinia. Austria has no intention
of attacking Sardinia; but in order TO restore
friendly relations, Sardinia must alter her ex-
ternal policy. AS long as she remains COM
plctely armed the peace must always continue
IN danger Various propositions were made
for revising the treaties of 1c47 between the
Italian STATES and for forming 4 league among
them TO suppress Internal revolutions.-
Also for adopting a system which would
admit of the taxes being yottd by some sort OF
Assembly, and pecuniary aid from the Roman
Catholic States to the Pope, so as to admit of
a reduction of taxes i'll the Papai States. The
ruling ideas of Count BouL seemed to be, that
France was determined on 4 war with Aus
tria that Austria was called upon TO make
concessions dictated by the animoslty OF Sar-
dinia. that Austria ought to profit by the attl-
tude which Germany has assumed towards
France, and that there was no real question at
issue between France and Austria TO consti
tute q casRs beiht. Lord COWLEY has no doubt
Austria will accept any overtGres from France
consistent with her honor, if Sardinia will
disarIn; but such disarmament is an absolute
pre-req uisite Being made, Austria will follow
her example
The correspondence relative to the proposed
Congress is not publis he'd in the Times. Lord
CowLEY was of opinion to the last, that the
French Emperor was deSirous TO remain at
peace, although he sympathi1e with the ltal-
ians, and wished TO do something for them
within the treaties of 1915, which he evinceC
no disposition TO violate. On the lith of April,
Lord LoFIUs urged upon the Austrian gov
ernment the propriety OF disarming, and said
by refusing 10 do So it would place itself in
the wrong. The British government approved
OF the proposal 1or disarmament hy the
three powers, previous to the meeting of Con-
gresS. Things were in this state when Aus
tria sent her arbitrary summons 10 Sardi MIA. to-
wards the end Of April Lord MALMESBCRY
then writes in a strain of vehement indignation
to Lord LoFrUs, tells him OF the vehement in
dignation existing againstAustria;c cannot COM
prehend what she means by threatening Sar-
dinia, after she had Expressed her resolution TO
dISarIn,l as AuStFld niiu desired, Wishes 10 Know
whether she will yet, while it is time, stop the
march of her armies, and refer the matter TO a
Congress, at which delegates (not representa-
tives) from the Italian States are to be admit
ted, and says the conduct Of Austria has excl
ted the indignation of the government and all
classes in England. In accordance with his
instructions, Lord LOTUS made strong
protest, but it came too late

The telegraph announced, a day or two since
the occurrence of the dreadful tragedy at Dun

following particulars
''One of the most dreadful tragedies took
