oblas the accent OF and Of Austria charged
Lord A. LOTUS TO makes q similar communication " the
Cbnet Of Vienna and have the honor TO send you here
with copies Of those two;documen,s They comprise as
you win zee M le Comte, four distinct propositions.
l. France and Austria should renounce henceforth
any Interference in the internal Affairs OF Italy,
kse called upon by the unanimous assent Of the great
Powers.
q The government Of the Emperor should 10 an
understanding with the Holy Father TO evacuae the Ro
States when the oigannation OF his army should al
low IT, and when troops could be Withdrawn from
maintenance
army should also leave the north Of Italy within asuabe
period.
g. The internal organization of veneta should be ex-
elnded from the negotiations between the Powers.
Finally, The King Of Sardinia should be requested by
the government Of the Emperor and by that OF her Br
mic Majesty acting In concert not TO send troops into
Central Italy until those different states and provinces
should have, by vote Of their Assemblies, after
ction, soemnly declared their wishes and should

Our views In this respect have been publicly

without entering into explanations with the Other Ca
bnets,
Ambassador the views Of the Of the Emperor
could aso refer 70 its previous declarations and espe
caly to that Of the first French Penpotenary at the
Congress Of Paris. Now, as then we sincerely desire 10
put end ts the military occupation OF the Roman
States The government OF his Majesty also anxious to
scuate the mbard Provinces and thus TO put end

eur policy urge us to make as short as possible We

tiny that no serious danger should result herefrom to
the safety OF the Holy See, and that the evacuation of
Ionbardy should not take place until the Joint consent

the new organization Of Italy.
Passing third pI position, declared to the Eng

TO objection and that the government Of the Emperor
Lord Cowey that appeared 10 advisable to
provide for the eventaay should Austria think possible
70 negotiate private conditions by Offering concessions to
Venea and that in such case would be well to

AS regards the fourth and last point, Me. le Comte
