The Continental question is still one of complica

We find in the Paris correspondence of the Independ
ence, Of Brussels, an ampifcation of the rumor
referred to in the Daily Post yesterday, of the pro-
positions made to Austria BY the British Government
From the statements Of the writer, it would appear
that England is desirous to prevent anything that
might canse European war, considering the sacri-
fees she is obliged to make in order to pacy India.
England, therefore, has proposed to France, who
accepts to declare TO Austria that she wishes the
offers made in 1s48 to the Cabinet Of Lord Pamerston
to be considered as not having been withdrawn. Not
only France but Russia support this proposition. The
offers referred to as having been made BY Austria in
1848 were substantially that the Administration of
the Lombardo Venetian kingdom should be entirely
separated from that of Austria; that these provinces
should remain united; and that Government founded
upon constitutional principles should be given to
them.
If Austria accepts, purely and simply, this propo.
sition there will be no war, and oil inquieude about
events in the coming spring may cease 1t is true

be brought to renounce the possession of her rich
Italian Provinces but in presence Of an agreement
between the other powers which is rapidly becoming

inhabitants, would not cross the Alps but with the
appreciation and assent Of Russia and England In
that case the war would be confined to Italy, and
would have a specific object arranged beforehand.

Independence is not disposed to believe the consent
Of Austria will easily be obtained any discussion
Of the terms on which her Italian dominions should
be renquished and less than this would not satisfy
the eager expectations now aroused in Italy by the

The latest news in reference to continental troubles
is not more definite than that to which we have had
to refer for days past The Paris correspondent of
the Times says that contradictory facts and contra
dictory rumors still the order Of the day in that
capital; and our kilograms from Turin and Vienna
are as mysterious as ever.

we are told, great influence the Stock Exchange.
