A dispatch from Vienna states that Austria,
on the Esd, agreed to the proposed Congress,
and it would PROBABLY meet 1T AK 10 Chapelle.
The other Powers had previously given their
consent
A private letter in lie Nord states that the
Sandman Cabinet has addressed communities
ton to the FIVE Great Powers, strongly insist
ing on being allowed to take part in the delib-
erations.
A Paris correspondent Of the London Post
says that in consequence Of the representations
made BY Count Cavoar, the French Government
consents that Piedmont and other Italian States
shall be represented at the Conference.
It is stated that Austria consented to Con-
prees under certain conditions, but they are not
Of much importance. It is supposed that she
would % matter Of course insist on q strict
maintenance Of the treaties Of 1915, but that she
will hardly object to revision Of her special
treaties with the Italian States.
The French Journals assume that Lord Cow
ley's mission to Vienna has had nothing to do
with the Congress, and they credit Russia with
the proposition.
The London Star believes that Lord Malms-
bury has been appointed to represent England
in the Congress.
Prince Napoleon had personally insisted upon
the admission OF Piedmont into the Congress,
and had represented to the Emperor that in the
event CT Piedmont not being admitted Count
Covour will resign. The Prince previously an
nounced his admission into the Congress- but in
that event admission could not be refused to
Tuscany. The papal Government aud the Duchy
OF Parma, Naples and Modena beng naturally
excluded, Naples ON account of interruption of
her internal relations; Modena, because it has
never recognized the Imperial Government.
The Patria of this eve states that the Cabinets
of London and St. Petersburg have agreed to
the proposal OF France to admit Piedmont, and
there is hope that the Cabinet Of Berlin will
also consent, in which event Austria cannot
disregard the wish Of the next power.

SPAIN.-In the Chamber ct Deputies a call
having been made for the production of the
papers relative to the negotiations between the
United States, France and England for the &C
QUESTION Of Cuba by America, the Minister of
Foreign Affairs replied that some deputies had
expressed desire to see the administration OF
Cuba Improved, and the President OF the United
States had expressed the same wish. The opin-
ions were that Spain did not administer Cuba
well, and that the U. S. on account of their
higher intelligence had moral duty to fulfill,
which was to purchase the Island. The Gov
ernment could not ALLOW this idea about Cuba
to remain uncontradicted. All Governments
had labored to improve the condition of that
Island, and the present Cabinet had been con-
stantly occupied with measures calculated to
give the inhabitants OF that Island the share
they ought to possess in their internal admins
tration without compromising the ties which
unite them to the mother country. The best
reply to the representations of certain orators
Of the U. $. was the prosperity Of the Island
of Cuba. That the question OF the acquisition
