VrEySA, July %, 1889.
The pleripotentsres Of France and Austria will
meet A Zurich in the course Of the next week. in order
IN eonclude peace on the basis Of the prelmiDares
signed at Verona. II il now proposed that tue treaty
shall be concluded between the Emperors Napoleon
and Francis Joseph, and that Sardinia shall make
peace with Austria by means Of an Additional Act
Neither England, Russia, nor Prussia il TO be repre-
sebted 1t Zurich but as soon the Treaty Of Peace
has been ratified the tact will be made known TO those
Powers. The arrangements which have been maze
nv France and Austria will satisfy neither the neutras
nor the Italians but the two Emperors appear to care
as little for the one they do for the other The Aus
TRAN Government affects TO be well pleased With the
conditions Of peace, and probably It really 80, az
IA aware that the neutral Powers intended to propose
much more advantageous terms than those winch
have been obtained from the Emperor OF the
French. A person who mus. necessarily be well IN
formed on the subject this morning told me that the
Brihsh Government not long since proposed to Russia
and Prussia to make the cessioD Of Veneta and Lon
hardy the basis Of future negotiations for peace, and
he also gave me 10 understand that the two last
mentioned Powers had consented to take the propo-
sitiop into The proposals at first made
by the Emperor Napoleon to the Emperor Francis
Joseph weTe I, that LombaIdy and Venice should be
separated from Autra and placed as 40 independent
kingdom under an Archduke; 2 That Modens and
Parus should be given to Sardins and, 8. That
Tuscany should be ceded to the Duchess-Regent of
Parma These conditions having been rejected the
counter propositions made by Austria were accepted
Baron Hess negotiated with his Majesty, and
both of them were much struck by the ex-
trsordiDary lucidity, of his mind and his
pat to paper by the Emperor himself at Valego, to
which place Count Rechberg went after the interview
between the two Sovereigns at Vllairanca. Baron
Hess settled with Napoleon the conditions of the arms
tee and he was subsequently, sent with Count Mems
Aa,H IN all IN akp
for the meeting Of the two monarchs at Viatanca. 1t
reported that 500 600 of lire Is the sum which
LOmbaJdy is TO take as her share OF the national debt
When the reached the army that peace had been
concluded and Lonberdy coded to France, the indig
nation OF the officers was 80 great that many of them
expressed themselves in terms which we're by no means
AAiteIing to any Of the parties concerned The Aus
triaI aipain that they could efectusly have cured
the French Of their bad habit of meddng IN the affairs
Of other nations, "f the English had insisted on the
neutrality Of the Adrialic, and 1 am not inclined 10
thin that they oveIrate their proves. The Fourth
Army, consisting of some CO. 600 men, was totally nsc
tive necessary TO keep powerful garrsons in
Venice Trieste, and the numerous aports on the Dal-
matisn coat.
Of the Minister of Finance continues TO abuse England
and every thing English in good set terms although
Baron Briick will in short time be obliged to apply
TO British capitalists for loan.
Correspondence Of The London News
PARIS, July "a, 1859.
News has arrived from Berne that the Federal
authorities have received official notices from the Swiss
Ministers at Paris and Vienna of the approaching
meeting at Zurich Ii is expected that the French and
Austrian Penpotentaries will meet In the Tiss town
next week but appears TO be yet doubtful whether
not Sardinia will take part in their deliberations.
II has been, You aware, alleged that the Emper-
or Of Austria positively refuses to trest with the King
Of Sardinia and that all that he will be allowed To do
is to adhere to the treaty when defnvey settled by the
two principal belhgerents. Some people, on the other
hand prete nd that is Sardinia herself who objects to
send representative to Zurich But the independents
Of Turin journal supposed to reflect the opinions of
n. de Cavour, maintains that Piedmont ought not TO
abstain and argues, moreover that the Zurich Con-
fereDces must necessarily be followed by European
Congress. The Pays also expresses an opinion that,
although Piedmont has not yet named penpoten
tary, 1t is difficult 10 believe that she will not take part
In the meeting.

VIENNA, July 20, 1859.
Count Colloredo and Baron Meysenburg, one of the
Aulc Councillors in the Foreign Department, are TO
represent this Government at Zurich bat the period of
their departure not fixed. AS has already been said
Austria, France and Sardinia will conclude peace on
the basis Of the preiminaries signed by the two En-
perors, but il is by no means clear that the ltai An
question, rather the Italian questions, be settled
without the cooperation of the neutral Powers. The
Austrian and French official organs have communicated
g. the world wha. they call "be bases of the prelim
naIies of peace, but is well known that matter of
considerable Importance has been kept from the know
edge of the pubic No reliable Information has yet
reached me on the subject, but in we-informed pot
cal circles il is stated that military convention res-
tive to Italy has been concluded between France and
Austria aud that Lombaidy 10 take fair share of
the national debt Great stress is laid this last point
the Austrans being desirous TO make the Lombards
pay the hghes possible price for their liberty The Aus
tran officers who at Nilsrancs loud in their
prases of the tact and decacy of the Emperor of the
French, and they even speak favorsby OF Prince Ma
poleon IL may well be said chat times change and
1--we with them, for not long since il the fashion
in the highest Austrian circles to speak sghtpgly and
even contemptuousy, OF the Emperor of the French,
and to call his cousin the Red Prince" The French
officers in the suite of Napoleon completely won the
Austrians, whom they treated like brothers, Two
Sandman officers were present at Niairanca and the
Austrians remarked or fancied they remarked, that
they were eoldly treated by their French comrades
The Austrian and French Generals talked over the
battle Of Solferno, and compared notes, and in the
Of conversation il oczed out that all the French
troops not equally efficient; in isc that some of
them wanted good deal OF leading. Tremendous
havoc was committed IN the ranks of the Zousves and
Chssseurs, and many officers were killed than Is
generally supposed. The French army WAS then-on
the llth inst-suiferng from ophthslms and We hsve
since learnt from Verona that the disease has assumed
au exceedingly malignant character. SIN q few
